Rotenone Destroys
Many Insect Pests
New Insecticide Is
Harmless to Man
Among the newer insecticides are
Stose containing rotenone. This val-
■able product of the roots of species
mt Denis and Lonchocarpus (com
monly called cube or timbo) was
imported from the Southwest Pa
cific and South America, respective-
lf, before the yrar. After supplies
from Malaya and the East Indies
were cut off, the development of
derris culture in Central and South
America was given impetus.
Rotenone is an organic compound
tBaic to many insects and poisonous
to fish, but is not considered harm
ful to man in dilutions sufficient to
kill insects. This makes possible
file use of the ground derris or cube
soot on leafy vegetables. The roots
are usually ground sufficiently fine
ao that most of the powder will pass
through a 200-mesh screen, and it is
used in diluted form. Ground rote-
aone-bearing roots, however, may
irritate tender skin and the mucous
membranes. Both the spray and
dust methods are used in treating
infested plants.
The most important uses of rote-
aone root powder are on vegetables,
fruits and flowers to control the
Mexican bean beetle, cabbage cat
erpillars, cucumber beetles, the pea
aphis, the pea weevil, the asparagus
beetle, flea beetles, the cherry fruit-
*y, the currant worm, rose slugs,
ftie Japanese beetle, spittle bugs on
strawberries, and the iris thrips.
In combination with pyrethrum
extract and sulfonated castor oil,
rotenone is also effective against red
spiders, thrips (except the gladiolus
thrips), aphids, cucumber beetles,
garnished plant bugs, certain species
•f leaf rollers, and leaf tiers.
The department of agriculture re
ports that properly packaged and
stored ground roots containing rote-
aone do not deteriorate appreciably
for several years. Deterioration was
afro not found when the ground roots
were diluted with inert carriers like
pyrophyllite, neutral talc, or pow
dered plant products and placed in
dosed containers in a dark, dry
room.
Imports of rotenone-bearing roots
into the United States had reached
a total of eight million pounds in
1941, showing a rapid increase over
the preceding five-year period. With
the extension of the use of rotenone
Insecticides through experiments by
entomologists, a further upward
movement in demand may be antici
pated. Already, development of the
rotenone industry in the Latin Amer
ican countries has reached such pro
portions that the southern nations
are establishing their own experi
ment stations for the further study
d these root crops.
Better Grade Chicks Sell
Quickly, Say Experts
Poultrymen who make up their
minds- early to buy good chicks are
the ones who ge( the birds with the
ability to lay eggs, says Prof. L. E.
Weaver of the New York State col
lege of agriculture. Though the
chick market is not as crowded as
Mat year, the better chicks are sell-
ing fast, and late buyers have to
take whatever is offered.
While chick buying is somewhat a
gamble, the grower who buys from
a hatchery that has given him good
birds before, has a good chance to
get good stock.
Other pointers on buying are to
purchase only from hatcheries that
follow an effective pullorum control
program to reduce chick losses; and
to buy only from dealers whose
chicks do not produce birds with
heavy losses from big livers, fowl
paralysis, or blindness. Chicks from,
locks that show "little of these dis
eases are usually more resistant.
Rabbiteye Blueberries
Rapidly Gaining Favor
1 Harvesting blueberries from a
step-ladder is not unusual in Geor
gia and Florida. The tall and pro-
Uflc “rabbiteye” blueberries, rapidly
coming into favor, are responsible.
Yields of 2,000 quarts of berries per
acre are not exceptional, and the va
riety grows faster as well as higher
frtan other species, say the horticul
turists. One-year shoots 60 inches
high are common in well-fertilized
fields, it is reported, and mature
bushes often reach IS feet. Valua
ble for home and market fruit, the
aabbiteye blueberry also helps con
trol erosion by means of its many
fine, fibrous roots close to the ground
surface which help anchor the soil.
New Variety of Pumpkin
Is Being Developed
A small-fruited, bush-type pump
kin suitable for small gardens has
been developed by plant breeders
of the U. S. department of agricul
ture. Seed will be available for gen
eral planting in 1945, according to
present plans. This is the first bush
pumpkin adapted to the usual pump
kin uses, and resembles the small
sugar pumpkin. It is called Chey
enne, from the field station at Chey
enne, Wyo.

Wise homemakers will plan porch
suppers for warm evenings. Not
only will the fam
ily enjoy the gay
informality of the
porch but the
changing of meal
time locale just
naturally will pep
up lagging of ap
petites that warm
weather brings.
Checked cloths in bright colors
will carry out the simplicity of
theme that is customary when you
“rough it” on the porch, or if you
have them, iringed cloths or bric-a-
brac edged ones will do fine.
Centerpieces of fruit from the or
chard or big bowls of colorful vege
tables will dress up the table. Fat
candles in squatty glasses will add
a homey touch to supper, and the
family will love to linger over the
table just chatting until the last can
dle burns low. All this promotes a
nice social atmosphere which we call
home, and that you’ll agree is im
portant!
Keep to the simple and sensible
with food and try to have foods com
bined on one platter so there aren’t
too many trips to the kitchen. Meat
and vegetables can go on one plat
ter, salad in a bowl, rolls in a basket
and dessert on one plate, everyone
dishing out for himself in “help your

Lynn Says
Spring Vegetable Tips: Cut
string beans with scissors. It
saves time and fingers.
Carrots peel easily if blanched
in boiling water for two or three
minutes.
To retain the red color of beets,
always cook them with about two
inches of their stem left on when
boiling.
Old coffee percolators are ex
cellent for cooking asparagus.
Stand asparagus in percolator,
add boiling water, adjust cover
and cook. The tips steam beauti
fully while the stems are cooked
to perfect tenderness.
To wash spinach, use warm wa

PAUL IN CORINTH
LESSON TEXT—AcU I Corinthl-
an!? 13.
GOLDEN TEXT—But now abldeth faith,
hope, love, these three: and the greatest of
these Is love.—I Corinthians 13:13.
Who Is a Christian? One might
answer in a number of ways. He is
one who has been saved by the re
deeming grace of Jesus Christ. He
is one who seeks to live a life in ac
cord with the will of God. He is a
witness for God, and so on. But the
answer that the whole world under
stands is a life in which the re
deeming love of Christ begets a true
love for one’s fellow man.
I. An Example of Christian Love
(Acts 18:1-4).
Teaching and preaching are God’a
ordained way for presenting the
truth. They are effective, but only
when done by one whose life ex
emplifies the truth. In his letter to
the Corinthians Paul gives the great
est discussion of love known to the
world, but before he wrote it he had
lived that truth before them. The
Holy Spirit spoke through him of
love, because He had already lived
the truth out in the preacher.
Two things appear here: Paul
was:
1. Working (w. 1-3). The world’s
most distinguished missionary and
preacher had arrived in Corinth.
Where was the welcoming commit
tee of local dignitaries? There was
none. Whose comfortable home
would receive him? None was of
fered. His was the lot of the pio
neer for Christ. He had to hunt up
a Jewish fellow craftsman and go
to work to earn his b^ead.
Paul, like every other Jewish boy,
had learned a trade, something he
could do with his hands. He was a
tent and sail maker, and was not
ashamed to work at his trade. A
more recent follower of Christ put
it thus: “My business is to preach
the gospel, but I pack meat to pay
the expenses.”
But notice that Paul did not let
this work become the chief thing.
As the Lord prospered him he did
not decide to “go back into busi
ness.’’ No, for his real business was:
2. Witnessing (v. 4). He began,
as was his custom, in the synagogue,
presenting Christ to Jews and
Greeks. The Jews opposed him (see
v. 6), and then Paul addressed him
self to the Gentiles.
God prospered that ministry and
encouraged Paul by a vision, assur
ing him that the Lord had “much
people” (v. 10) in that wicked city.
The love of Christ in Paul thus shone
forth as a light in the darkness of
►sin and superstition.
Love was something which the
heathen world of Paul’s day had so
misrepresented and distorted (even
as it has today) that it needed def
inition and exposition. So we have—
II. An Explanation of Christian
Love (I Cor. 13).
This is one of the outstanding
chapters of all Scripture. Its mag
nificent discussion of the greatest of
all themes has drawn forth many
choice expositions.
The thought centers around the
emptiness of the loveless life, the
glory of the life of love, and the
eternal unchangeable power of love.
We gather it up in three words.
1. Indispensable (w. 1-3). With
out love man’s attainments are emp
ty. He may become an orator with
a “heavenly” gift of speech, but un
less he truly loves, his elegant and
persuasive talk is just a meaning
less noise. How true!
One may also have marvelous
gifts of prophetic insight and a won
der-working faith, and find that it
is all a vain and empty experience
without love. Our world leaders
could well study that verse just now.
Sacrificial interest in the needs of
mankind is a fine trait in man, but
it must have the love of Christ in
it or it too is profitless. As we
think of feeding the hungry nations
of the earth, let us not forget to
make it worth while by doing it in
Christian love.
2. Incomparable (w. 4-7). The
standard for the life of a Christian
is a very high one; in fact, it is im
possible of attainment apart from
the grace and power of Christ. Nat
urally, we find ourselves to be im
patient, proud, suspicious, resentful,
etc. The new nature in Christ is
just the opposite, for love rules.
Note that phrase “endureth all
things.” We need that in these days
when it is so hard to keep on going,
or as someone said, “to keep on
keeping on.” Love endures all
things.
3. Immutable (w. 8-13). All
things in life change and pass away.
Love is eternal and unchangeable.
Even the spiritual gifts have their
fulfillment and pass from view, but
love shall endure through all eter
nity. God, the Eternal One, is love
(I John 4:8, 16).
When we shall come to that per
fectness of understanding which is
to be ours one day, when we shall
knew even as God now knows us,
then we shall see love as the su
preme gift, eternal in its power and
validity. . . .
