“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.

One has no quarrel with culti-
vated raspberries. 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

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.
