Sloat, asso- ciate county agricultural agent advised Lancaster Faming last evening. Some yields are lower as much as 50 per cent due to lodging Recent rams were a big help to tomatoes, potatoes and corn, but slowed up combining, knocking down much wheat “We have received a lot of requests,” Mr. Sloat told, “about slugs mining out pear and cher ry trees. We advise use of DDT in solution of two table spoons per gallon of water for small sprayers, or two pounds per 100 gallons of water for larger outfits. Do not spray cherries until the fruit has been picked,” he warned I Mr Sloat urged that farmers must be aware of the new Fed eral law that went into effect July 1, wherein tolerances on foreign matter in grains shipped to terminal points has been cut in half. Insect ridden gram, gram containing animal or bird excrement, must not total more than one part per pint per sample. Now is'a good time to clean granaries of corn, sweep them and clean them, then before use, spray a five per cent household solution of DDT and" permit to dry before more gram is added, his office advises.
