AMD S Wt i : - - X,) RECOMMENDS SPRAY FOR ELM STATE ENTOMOLOGIST SAYS TREES SHOULD HE TREATED Tlie following letter from M. II Swonlc, stato entomologist at tho Unl vorslty ol Isebraska will bo of interert to all "who have fino olm trees in their yards and who find them infet ed with Insect pests: April 2G, 1922. Mr. W. P. Snyder, Superintendent,. Experiment Substation, North Platte, Nebraska. Dear Sir: I have your letter of April 24, enclosing a bit of elm bark that evidently has been infested with two pests of that tree, namely the white olm scale (Chlonaspls Ameri cana) and tho wollyaphls of tho elm (Schlzonoura Americana). You ask what is tho proper treatment for this pest, which is giving a good deal of trouble in North Platte. Under tho living adult feiflalo scales of tho white olm scale, during the winter occur eggs, which hatch about middlo of May into very tiny-like young scales which crawl about and scatter over tho trees, oventually set tling down and losing their legs and eyes and becoming covered with a scale. In somo localities thoro is a Bacsond brood during July which ma tures in September. Tho control of this white olm scale, is that of dormant or winter spraying with limo-sulphur wash. When the leaves are off Uio trees this wash can bo used at a strength to kill the scales by its caustic action. They spray loosening tho scales and causing them to drop off. Ordinary commercial ' llmo-sulphur of any brand used exact ly as described on the abel of tho con- J tamor ror controlling me jose scum by winter spraying will be effective. Tho nowly hatched scales can be klll od by summer spraying with Blacp Leaf 40, using threo-fourths of a pint in 100 gallons of water, and adding The pupils in tho eighth grado took tho second examination Thursday and Friday whilo tho other pupils had a two-days vacation. Miss Ethel McCrackcn, teaching in Dlgnoll, loft Friday evening for St. Paul to attend tho wedding of her sister. - threo pounds of soap to each 50 gal lons of spray. For tho control of tho wooly aphis of tho elm I would BUggest spraying with keroseno emulsion or a strong tobaccft spray. Tho keroseno emulsion may bo prepared by dissolving one- half pound of hard soap In ono gallon of boiling water, adding two gallons' of kerosene, and churning with a pump for 5-10 minutes, and then dllut-. lng with ten parts of water. Thoi spray should be used so as to com-j plely drench tho aphlds on tho trunk and branches. An equally effective and j rather safer spray to use, from the standpoint of injury to tho foliage, Is nicotine sulphate, such as "Black Leaf 40," diluted 1 part to 800 of water and with soap added at tho rato of a pound to each 25 gallons of diluted spray. This spray, too, must bo ap plied with force to penetrate the wolly-covorlng of tho, aphldB. Yours very truly, MYRON H. SWENK, Stato Entomologist. Tho wedding bolls will soon ring in Dlgnoll.

You can only get them all when you use balanced gasoline. Volatility at all temperatures is not enough. Besides the fractions that vaporize at low temperatures, gasoline should have a proper proportion of other petroleum fractions in order to provide maximum power and mile age. These heavier fractions should not lower the flame speed enough to reduce pressure development or prevent clean, complete combustion. Such a balanced motor fuel is Red Crown Gasoline.
