• Bombshelters
(From Page 1)
cans could survive an all out
neuclear attack if proper
shelters are constructed and
used, but without the aid of
proper shelters, perhaps only
a few hundred thousands
could survive.
The Millersville meeting,
the first of its kind in the
county, paved the way, Mey
ers said, to similar meetings
with other agricultural
groups. Any group _ interested
in such a meeting is urged to
contact Sheriff Meyers, the
Civil Defense Headquarters
in the Lancaster public safe
ty building or Howard Sig
-Im, Millersville.
• Cutworms
(From page 1)
On alfalfa, if the spray
was not applied immediately
after harvest, wait until the
alfalfa is four to six inches
high, then apply IV2 quarts
of 25% Methoxychlor emul
sion using 40 to 100 gallons
of water per acre If aphids
are also a problem, Sloat rec
ommends using V/2 pints or
four pounds of Malathion
25% wettable powder. This
application should control
weevil and leaf-hopper as
well.
In addition to the insect
pests, disease has been caus
ing some problems. Late
blight on potatoes was re
ported in the county this
week. The moist conditions
and cool nights have been fa
vorable for the development
and spread of this disease.
Sloat recommends the use
of one of three fungicides a
long with the regular insect
ticide spray on potatoes.
Maneb 80% wettable powder
at the rate of three pounds
per acre, or Nabam 19%
liquid at four quarts per
acre or fixed copper 50%
wettable powder at the rate
of eight pounds per acre
should give good control.
To control early blight,
which has been observed on
tomatoes in the county, as
well as pink aphid, green
pea aphid, flea beetle and
Colorado potato beetle larv
ae, Sloat recommends the
use of a combination of Mal
athion, ' Methoxychlor and
Maneb.
The rate of application on
tomatoes should be one pint
of the 59% emulsion of Mal
athion plus two pounds of
Methoxychlor 50% wettable
powder plus three pounds of
Maneb 80% wettable powd
er.
In home gardens Mala
thion ONLY should be used
with the fungicide.
“Do not contaminate
streams ponds or water sup
plies swith spray material
and always follow the manu
facturers’ directions.” cau
tions Sloat.

CHECK WAISTLINE
Before buying children’s
clothes, check the waistline,
suggests Thelma Baierl, Penn
State extension clothing
specialist. The waistline
should be a little loose and
longer than normal to allow
for growth. Garments with
partially elasticized waists
are good buys. The elastic
allows fullness to adjust to
the growing body.
