'-§1119tHI1GfA BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Page 4 THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, April 21, 1943 Here's The Way To Kill Cutworms Garden Pest Does Much Damage Damage from cutworms to early garden crops can be pre- vented by distributing poison bait over the prepared ground two or three evenings before seeding or setting transplants. Cutworms winter as half- grown caterpillars in protected places. They require wilted food and each individual spends most of the night cutting down plants for consumption the following evening. Having typical cafeteria. appetites these cutworms normal- ly cut down several times the amount of food they naturally require. Cutworms are active at night and for best results the poison bait should be spread late in the afternoon or early evening. Sodium fluosilicate is now sub- stituted for Paris green or white arsenic as a poison for cutworms, reports Prof. E. I. McDaniel at Michigan State College. The fluosilicate is used in the same proportion as suggested for Paris green or white arsenic. It is poisonous to higher animals and the same precautions must be observed in keeping this away from livestock as suggested for the arsenicals. A very satisfactory bait can be made as follows: Bran, 5 pounds, sodium fluosilicate 4 ounces, molasses one pint, water to moisten. One orange or lemon, peel and all, finely chopped, adds to the attractiveness of the bait. Mix the molasses and the poison with two or three pints of water and add to the bran. Stir thoroughly and add enough water SHOE REPAIRING Expert Work FRANK'S SHOE REPAIR 11151 Stark Rd., % Blk. South of Plymouth Rd. to make a thick batter. Ten pounds of bait is usually recom- mended for a quarter of an acre of land, or one pound of the dried bait treats a garden plot of 40x50 feet for one application. This same bait is effective for slugs and millipeds when placed in protected places such as un- der boards or in crevices. Winter Kill Of Bees Is High Honey Crop To Be Low This Year If Michigan's bees go to war, literally, this spring and summer those persons who get stung can blame the weather of the past winter for rousing bee tempers. Beekeepers are reporting col- ony losses ranging from 10 to 50 per cent of their colonies, accord- ing to R. H. Kelty, Michigan State College beekeeping special- ist. Of the state's 150,000 colonies, an estimated 25,000 have been killed off since November. Kelty recommends beekeepers find out if bees need extra feed - You can always find what you need right here.

Colony houses in which bees died from winter cold can be opened up when new colonies or package bees are ready. Package bees( purchased from handlers in the south will fill many of the empty colonies this spring, since honey is scarce and prices are good. Kelty advises or- dering package bees now -for del- ivery from April 25 to May 15. Each package will require 10 to 15 pounds of sugar or reserve honey for food. Sugar should be arrive. Honey producers needing sugar to feed bees may apply as industrial users to county ration- ing boards. As much as 10 pounds of sugar per colony can be ob- tained if needed. In an em- ergency, beekeepers may even use five pounds of sugar from their .1944 quota. Kelty recommends that enough honey is left in hives in 1943 to feed bees next winter.

Page 6 County Health Department Ask Wayne County To Establish One About thirty people represent- ing various county organizations were present at the special meet- ing called by the Wayne County Health Guild, recently in the Wayne high school. Dr. Engelke, director of the Washtenaw coun- ty health department, outlined the activities of a county health department. Washtenaw county supervisors and the health de- partment have set up certain sanitary and health regulations for the county. The department has jurisdiction over towns and villages that do not have a full time health department as well, as the rural areas. The depart- ment works hand in hand with the supervisors and local health officers in solving health prob- lems. Dr. Engelke, gave in detail some of the problems that the health department has had to solve. Their sanitary engineer inspects all school and other public and semi-public water supplies, they inspect restaurants, milk supplies and trailer coach parks. The department receives daily reports from the various sections of the county. If a com- municable disease is reported from a certain place, then the doctors and schools in that area are notified. An article appears in the local paper telling of the outbreak of the disease and giv- ing the symptoms. Thus, every- one is on the alert and serious It's Tax Time NEED MONEY?i Selling Your Car?

Charles Brake, deputy com- missioner of schools in Wayne county, was named chairman of a committee to formulate a resolu- tion to sen*to the county super- visors asking that a county health department be established. Each person present was urged to contact his local supervisor. In this way the supervisors will know that the people of Wayne county want a health department.

Everybody is welcome. The little girl tugged gently at her mother's sleeve. "Now, Mothvx?" she asked. "Now can't we writs my letter?" "Why of course, Betsy," Mrs,. Carson grinned. "Are you going to write it or am I?" "Well," Betsy said, "Maybe you'd better kind of say it to me. Only I'd love to write it." "All right, then, Miss Carson, take a letter," her mother said, walking slowly up and down the "room. "Ready? `Dear Mr. Mor- genthau: The way I save money for War Stamp buying is to steer all the small household jobs to- w a r d my daughter, who > is eight ,years old. She is so i�keen about 11 buying War Stamps that I know all the money I might :_have paid to someone else for do- ing the jobs will go toward Victory -'when paid to her.' "Now make a list, Betsy. `Win- dows washed, 60 cents. Apples picked from under the tree, 25. cents. Emptied trash cans, 4 cents. Sold string beans from the garden, 15 cents. Sold strips of spoiled film to children for sun - gazing, at one cent a yard, .20 cents_ Total, $1.24. Yours help- fully, I hope,'—and then I'll sign it at the bottom." Betsy was puffing like a gram- pus from her labors. The tall, painstaking letters tottered brave - y across the sheet of paper. Gravely Mrs. Carson took the pen to sign. "Mother, would it be the proper etiquette if I signed it too?" "Perfectly proper, I think," Mrs. Carson said without a smile, and handed the pen back to Betsy.
