Workers V4OIIIICII June is no time to let up in th? fight for a successful and profit able “Victory Garden”, says* County Agent G. W. Bonnet*,.?, who reminds gardeners of th? need to protect the growing crons from pests and to provide for late summer and fall vegetables. Three protection suggestions the agent makes are: 1. Mexican bean beetle control. —Dust with mixture containing rotenone or cryolite. Rotenone is likely to beemoe scarce, and cryo lite is recommended as a substi tution. It should not be use:! on snap beans after pods begin to form, to avoid the harmful resi due. These mixtures are usually found with local seedmen, proper ly diluted for use. Rotenone is a non-poisonous insecticide. Spray with 11-2 pounds of un diluted derris dust to 50 gallons of water as often as needed, or 3 pounds of undiluted cryolite to 50 gallons of water. 2. Tomato fruit worm control.— Apply poison bait when the first fruit sets and at weekly intervals until four applications have been made. Mi^. bait with 9 pounds of corn meal and one pound of cal cium arsenate and scatter lightly over the foliage. 3. Get a copy of Extension Bulletin 102, “Garden and Truck Crop Insects”. Suggestions for later crops are: 1. Make successive plantings cf corn—Stowell’s Evergreen, Coun try Gentlemen; bunch beans— Bountiful, Stringless Green Pod: pole beans—Kentucky Wonder, McCaslan. 2. Sow seed of Georgia or Geor gia Southern collards. One ounce of seed gives about 1500 plants. Sow in early June for fall crop.
