Healthy, Properly Fertilized Crops
May Allow Better Insect Control
Preliminary experiments by U
S Depaitment of Agriculture
scientists indicate the possibility
of a correlation between giving
plants the nutrients they need for
optimum giowth and successful
control of spider mites attacking
such plants
The USD 4 scientists found that
spider mites attacking pole lima
beans were easy to kill with mala
thion when the beans were sup
plied with proper amounts of
nitrogen, phosphorus and potas
sium for good growth But they
found mites generally harder to
kill on plants receiving either
less or more than required
amounts of each nutrient
These experiments were con
ducted at USDA’s Agricultural
Research Center, Beltsville Md,
bv USDA entomologist Thomas
Hennebcrry and plant physiolo
gist N, W Stuart
The expei iments indicate that
icsistance to insecticides noted
in insects and mites may actually
icpresent changes in susceptibil
atv caused by variations in plant
nutrient levels
Subsequent experiments may
help determine the advantage of
timing insect control practices
with seasonal variations of nu
trients in plants The continued

susceptibility of mites to an in

also include study of the possible
effects on mite susceptibility of
plant-giowth variations produced
by variations m light and tempera

pointed out that the new finance
program for the poultry industry
investments in PENB was “de
veloped m cooperation with the
PENB Financial Advisory Com
mittee with the assistance of
other key leaders in the poultry
industry ”
THE INVESTMENT program
as outlined by Geil is designed to
provide adequate funds for a con
sumer educational promotional
program which individual mem
bers of the poultry industry could
not carry on for themselves. It
calls for national, state, and local
promotions to create greater con
sumer acceptance of poultry prod
ucts.
In operation, the plan is basical
ly a membership check-oft pro
giam set up so that every branch
of each segment of the industiy
can cooperate on a voluntary
basis The program will be admin
istered by a professionally quali
fied executive on the PENS staff
who will work in close coopera
tion with other national, state,
and local poultry organizations in
implementing the investment pro
gram.

Exports Way Up
During March of this year, the
U S exported nearly twice as
much seed as it did m March 1957,
according to figures released last
week by the Foreign Agricultural
Service The total for the first 9
months of the current crop year
13 reported at 39 6 million pounds,
more than 2 million pounds above
the corresponding period of last
year
So far this year, exports of
alfalfa seed at 17,282,000 pounds,
have alieady exceeded last-year’s
all lime crop year total of 17,060 -
000 pounds
The largest shipments of U S.
seed went to Canada, Poland, and
West Germany in March.
