P. S. Our community, Oakland, is
growing and making progress in
the social and spiritual phase of
life.
A Girls’ Club has recently been
organized, and a Brotherhood of

We will be very happy to have you

community.
Supt. M. L. Silcox spoke briefly,
asking the men to take stock of
every situation and plan their work

Spray May Be
Dust Substitute
Experiments with the new or
ganic insecticides indicate that cot
ton growers may be able to shift
from dusting to spraying for con
trol of insects, E. C. Westbrook,
cotton specialist for the Extension
Servvics, said this week. Success
in this research will permit growers
to eliminate dusting, since spraying
can be combined with tractor cul
tivation, especially early in the sea
son.
Mechanical spraying along with
cultivation would have the advan
tage of starting insecct control early
favoring good growth of the plants
and preventing multiplication of the
pests, Mr. Westbrook pointed out.
Eliminating dusting would be par
ticularly welcome in saving both
time and labor, for when using
calcium arsenate it has been nec
essary to dust before or after the
usual working hours.
With the development of the new
oganic insecticides —DDT, benzene
hexachloride, toxaphene and para
thion cotton growers had hope#
that pest control would be cheaper,
more effective and less unupleasant
than calcium arsenate dusting. At
first experimental work on the in
secticides centered on dust forms
and results were favorable, although
they did not equal the dusting qua
lity of calcium arsenate.
Next follo’.ved experiments with
airplane applications of the new
poisons as dusts and as sprays. These
tests showed that very small quan
tities of concentrated sprays applied
in the air blast from planes con
trolled several insects as well or
better tnan usual quantities of poi
son in more, dilute sprays from
ground equipment.
Research is now following this
lead, Mr. Westbrook said. Entomo
are experimenting with equipment

, Chances are, the young-uns*!! will be the only gobble-uns when they
see these coconut candied apples on their Halloween party table. Apples
on a stick make a party any day, but the coconut coating on these makes
them extra special. And, mother, if you feel that too much “toil and
trouble” goes into the making, it can be as simple as this: Buy candied
apples. Hold by stick over boiling water to steam the apple until it’s
sticky. Then roll at once in coconut. However, if you would like the fun
of starting from scratch, here’s how; '

apples. Combine the sugars, corn syrup, water, and butter in saucepan.
Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Continue
cooking, without stirring, until a small amount of syrup becomes slightly
brittle in cold water (or to a temperature of 272°F.). Remove from,
heat. Add vanilla. Dip apples, one at a time, into the syrup, working
quickly. Roll in coconut. Cool on waxed paper. Makes 6 candied apples.
of spray to the acre at a cost of only
30 cens for material.
As cotton plants grow, three noz
zles are needed and material costs
are tripled, but no time and labor
are required for the application.
A promising way of applying the |
new insecticides to large plants has
been by a modification of the power
duster with a small stream of con
centrated spray directed into the
powerful air blast of the duster.
Experiments are being pushed to
perfect equipment and test the best
formulations of insecticidees.
