Application Is made at staggered injection points to depths of 5 inches. The surface ia sealed by thoroughly soaking with water. Outdoor fumigation is practical wherever there is sufficient water available for soaking the surface after application. In many parti of the country, infestation of the soils by the root-knnematodes Is so extensive that many garden crops cannot be produced on otherwise desirable lands. This system of soil fumigation will permit the successful operation of such land. ot Improved Machinery Farm Welder A new electric welder suitable for rural power lines has just been released by the Lin- coln Electric com-- p a n y, Cleveland, Ohio.

DDT-Soybea- n Flour Spray Reduces Loss DDT mixed with soy bean flour and sprayed on apple trees at intervals which will not prove dangerous to bees, has proven an effective means of reducing spraying costs and elimiriating serious pests. Four treatments with the DDT-so- y bean flour mixture are usually required for effective control under general conditions. The spraying must be done prior to the time when the bees start pollinating. |
