8 “FARM TOPICS RED MITE Evergreen, such as spruce, hem- lock, pine and arbor vitae, have been infested with a minute insect known as red mite. This insect! is not perceptible to the eye and can only be observed through a hand lens. Its damage is the sucking of the foliage of these evergreens, causing a yellowish east or brown- ing of the needles. There are several materials that may be used in the control of Red Mite: 1. One of the most effective materials is 1 lb. wettable sulphur to 10 gallons of water. Thorough coverage of the foliage should be made with this material, and it - is necessary to repeat this appli- cation within a 7-day period. Usually two applications will be sufficient. : 2. Another material is 5 lbs. of 4% Rotenone to 100 gallons of material, plus 4 lb. of a good com- mercial sticker such as N.N.O. or % 1b. Soybean Flour. In small amounts this means 5 tablespoons 4% Rotenone to one gallon, plus one tablespoon of sticker. This requires a second application with- in a 7-day period. 3. Another successful material Is any of the spray oils, to be used at the manufacturer’s recommen- dation. = The recommendation is usually 1 gallon of oil to 100 gallons of water. Further information may be pro- cured from the Luzerne County Agricultural Extension Office, Wilkes-Barre. JAPANESE BEETLE CONTROL Japanese beetles have infested Luzerne County. Many home own- ers are protecting their foliage with an application of DDT. This should be used at the rate of 2 lbs 50% DDT to 100 gallons water, or, en- ough adhesive in its make-up to adhere for a period of two weeks of normal weather: DDT can be used on all foliage and on most garden crops except tomatoes, cuc- umbers, and vegetables that are eaten raw. DDT is a poison similar to arsenate of lead and should be kept away from children; animals and food and fruit.

Big, juicy, fresh- picked berries are undeniably delic- ious. A generous bowlful with plenty of cream and a whiffle of powdered sugar is superb eating; crushed raspberries over ice cream is one of the world’s distinguished desserts. Two opened, brown- crusted, hot well-buttered biscuits with two cupfuls of crushed berries is a very acceptable conclusion to a summer supper. But just as there is a subtle but important differ- ence between the flavor of wild strawberries and cultivated ones, so is there an important distinction between cultivated raspberries and their wild cousins. Each ‘year the countryman plans to make two or three expeditions to sunny open glades in the wood- land where the tall wild brambles grow in profusion. It is pleasant to climb the boulder-studded pas- ture sidehill, go through the shady maple sugar bush and follow the old wood road into the evergreens. Here in the areas where timber was cut off a few years ago is where one finds the raspberry glades. It is peaceful and relaxing in open spaces surrounded by the firs, spruces and hemlocks. Butter- flies are dancing spots of color in “THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1948 Country Flavor WILD RASPBERRIES the sunshine; the haunting poign- ant calls of a wood pewee are in keeping with the appealing beauty of the brooding woodland. The spongy soil is covered with the decaying slash of past lumber- ing; crumbling weather-stained stumps are etched with green lich- ens; mushrooms are thick on the ground. In midafternoon around the shady edges of the glade drops of dew hang on bending canes like strings of soft transparent jewels. A hawk circles high overhead and from a distance one hears the in- sistent, querulous notes of young crows. It is admittedly slow work filling the five-quart lard pail with the red nuggets. But the vines are heavy ‘with the garnet-colored fruits and if a man hitches his pail to his pants by a suspender ’ loop he can use both hands for pick- ing. As the sun climbs toward the pole and high noon approaches, the pail of berries is filled. Of course the main purpose is to pick berries and to taste a few from time to time. But somehow picking wild raspberries is more than a material harvest. In the peace and beauty of the woodland the harried pres- sures of life fade away and a man can catch up with himself.

Sandy Beach Has Largest 4th Crowd In a spectacle reminiscent of Coney Island or Atlantic City, Sandy Beach celebrated the Fourth of July with the largest crowd in its history. Conservative estimates placed the crowd between three and four thousand. Over one thous- and cars were parked in or near the beach. One guest remarked “The place was so crowded, you could walk from the bathhouse to the water ‘and never touch the ground.” There were no major accidents reported. This was a tribute to the alert handling of the crowd and facilities furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Slomowitz, owners of the beach. Extensive improvements are still going on, with dock re- pairs and the improvement of the grounds at the head of the list.
