Natural Bridge, N.Y. Experts' agree that an average weevil infestation will cause a loss of $l5 to $3O per acre. Aphids also cause considerable economic loss. Fortunately, both these for age pests are controllable. This year, however, because of recent changes in the amount of resi dues permitted on harvested crops, some of the chlorinated insecticides can no longer be used. That’s why Experiment Stations are recommending malathion, a Phosphate insecticide, for sure control of both these pests. Why malathion? Malathion is unique among the Phosphate insecticides. It has been the nation’s number 1 aphi cide for years. It is also effec tive against alfalfa weevil. In addition, unlike some other Phosphates and chlorinated insec ticides, malathion’s residues dis appear rapidly.

This timing kills weevil larvae, should give fast thorough clean-up that will last to first cutting . exceeding residue limits estab lished by law. How to use malathion Malathion can be applied as a spray or dust with ground equip ment or by plane. To assure cov erage, sprays are recommended. The recommended dosage is IVz pints of a 50% or 57% emulsifi able liquid per 100 gallons of water or 30 lbs. of a 4% or 5% dust per acre. For best results Aphid—Pea aphid is species that attacks alfalfa. When infestation is heavy, plants wilt and die, field looks white from east-off skins. FROZEN FOOD CONTAINERS The best containers for freezing cooked foods are rigid plastic, waxed card, board, glass jars, and tin cans, says Louise W. Hamil ton, Penn State extension nu trition specialist. Containeri should be small enough foi quick freezing and hav i wide tops so a whole frozen block may be removed a; once. Putting two pieces o, cellophane eveiy inch or si throughout a container pci mits easy separating fo! quick reheating Advertisers will be glad to have you mention Lancas ter Farming when answering advertisements r watch alfalfa closely. When most of the tops show some damage, apply malathion immediately. In many cases, an additional appli cation right after first cutting has been extremely beneficial in getting second growth off to a fast, clean start. In some areas, local recommendations vary slightly from those given above. Check your local recommendation for the dosage and timing that works best in your area.
