DO EREBY Mealybug, Fig Tree Pest Chief enemy of the fig tree is the mealybug. Mealybugs become numerous on branches, leaves and fruit of the fig tree. They multiply very rapidly in the spring and early summer, and before maturity of the fruit might cause a total loss by completely defoliating or causing the tree to lose all of its leaves and shed its fruit. The fig mealybug is a small, soft-bodied insect with a cottony mass of waxy secretion. This insect passes the winter in cracks under the bark and in leaves and other trash at the base of the tree. When the weather warms up in the spring, the overwintered mealybugs come out and establish themselves on the new leaves. Secretary Home Sewing, No. 1 Hobby High prices of ready-to-wear clothes ahd the desire to be original in dress have prompted women and ‘teen agers to make their own clothes. Some have acquired the knack of sewing easily while others have been, and are being, instructed at the many sewing centers ana schools throughout the land. All in all, these sewing enthusiasts number 23 million, one-fourth of them teen-agers, according to the National Needlecraft bureau. The bureau also reports that 20 million sewing machines are owned by the young and old sewing folks and more than two billion yards of cloth were sold in 1947 to be sewninto garments and accessories. U. of S. depart: entomologists Varying Divorce Rate Dips in U. &., Nationwide Survey. Reveals -Why the American divorce rate took a deep dive in 1947, the first decrease from a previous year since 1932, is explained in the results of a nation-wide survey among family service agencies. ; A passing of the peak of marital breakdowns in the hasty wartime marriages and a general readjustment to more stable peacetime living were the reasons for the divorce decline most frequently mentioned by the family service agencies in 89 cities. The survey was conducted by the famiy service association of America The 450,000 divorces reported in: the U. S. in 1947 represented a drop of 26.6 per cent from the total of 613,000 in the previous year. The national office of vital statistics figured the crude divorce rate last year at 3.1 per 1,000 population as against 4.3 in 1946. Despite this decline, the number of divorces per 1,000 population is still higher than in 1944. The 1947 rate is 55 per cent . greater than in 1940 and about 200 per cent larger than that prior to World Wart. — The survey presented the most complete picture to date of the trend in the divorce rate. The family service agencies were in agreement, however, that the general decline in divorce in one year should not be considered of itself a measure of increasing strength of marriage in the country. i P and the method is even easier to learn.

One device consists in holding outer clothing away from immediate contact with the skin by means of a lining or undergarment of coarse mesh fab. ric that adds little to the warmth of the clothing but keeps the fabric far enough away from the skin so that a mosquito’s biting apparatus does not reach through far enough to draw blood. " Europeans in the Arctic areas where mosquitoes are a_ serious pest had tried out this method and the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine included it in tests of fabrics for uniforms. These tests showed that there are several tight woven fcbrics that give good protection against mosquito biting. But the standard herringbone twill of army uniforms is not effective in thwarting the mosquitoes. What is known as Byrd cloth is one of the best anti-mosquito fabrics. The list includes some (but not many) nylon weaves, Jo-cloth and some poplins and broadcloths. In one series of tests the fabric was lined with coarse net material. The double thickness of the two fabrics gave good protection. Even the herringbone twill over the mesh did a good job of discouraging the mosquitoes and turned in as good a count as even the best anti-mosquito fabrics worn next to the skin,- je VAGUS Yes, scientific eye examination guarantees the safety of your eyesight.

Uncle Sam Conducts Tests To Foil Mosquito Biters Uae Re Sees Oialy sibs A yearly eye examination is your best insurance of perfect Homemakers and other consumer buyers often wonder just what such terms as “‘reused wool,” ‘‘reprocessed wool’’ and ‘‘virgin wool’’ mean when they are found on the label of an article ia a store. Extension service clothing agents explain that these are terms provided in the wool products labeling law, enacted seven years ago by congress. Here are main provisions of the act: All fabrics or their products of wceol.or containing wool (except upholstery and floor coverings must bear a label showing the percentage of fiber content and indicating the percentages of wool, reprocessed wool or reused wool. “‘Wool’’ must refer to fleece wool being used for the first time in the ca cac ening enna) pe UY A high percentage of the U. S. population always has been in the younger age groups, but the proportion of older persons has been increasing steadily. One useful measure of the agetrend of a population is its median age at various periods. Using this measurng tool, the’ median age of U. S. population has risen from 16 years in 1800 to nearly 23 in 1900 and to 30 years in 1947. The three main reasons for this increase are the long-term drop in ‘the birth rate, the imitation of immigration and. a lowering of the mortality rate of infants and young adults. All these factors are expected to continue to alter the national age pattern in the future, continuing the unbroken trend toward an older population, according to National Industrial Conference board. The proportion of persons 65 and older has risen steadily from 3 per cent of the total population in 1870 to 7.5 per cent in 1947. By 1975 the U. S. may have 18 million aged, compared with’ 11 million at present. Thus, more old people mean more markets for goods and services for the aged. A greater number and percentage of older persons in the labor force also may require some adjustment in the policies toward employment of older workers. ‘ we eAK Some wonder why the Almighty, who shapes the ends of the world’s destiny, permits such things as now afflict humanity. The truth is that all the conditions are of man’s own making. They happen because of the sins of rulers against their people and because the people follow blindly the ways of those who lead them. The great man of India, Gandhi, puts it plainly: “God has sent Hitler as a deserved curse on mankind because of their ungodly ways.” Meaning of Wool Labels Explained by Specialist Agéd Persons Increesing, Povulation Ficures Show Popeedte Some of the politicians who have proved by word and deed that they are against old age assistance, help for the widow and the orphan and the poor, should have been born into the pagan world,a civilization which was cold and heartless and despised sickness, weakness, misfortune and want. They had no use for the orphan and the widow, no hospitals for the sick, no homes or care for the aged and outcast poor. Pity and mercy were unworthy sentiments and the love that makes for brotherhood was not yet born. But slowly a portion of the spirit of Jesus came into some leading men’s hearts and made conditions quite different. The flowering of that spirit has been seen in the U.S. these past fifteen years. May it continue.
