Department of Agriculture Offers Advice in Treating Insects Because of much concern among a number of white bean and corn growers in some areas of Huron County regarding ser- ious infestations of corn leaf aphid and Mexican bean bettle, the following may be helpful. Corn Leaf Aphids The corn leaf aphid is a soft - bodied, greenish blue aphid that often infests the tassels and upper leaves of Corn. It is found wherever corn is grown in Eastern Canada. Formerly, this insect was not considered a pest but in recent years it has attraoted atten- tion because of the large num- bers that have appeared in many areas. The reasons for the outbreaks are not known but hot, dry weather at mid- summer seems to favour de- velopment of the insect. The infestation begins when the corn plant is in the whorl stage, so that it is usually over- looked. By the time the tassel emerges the aphids may be so numerous that they cover the upper part of the plant. They secrete a sticky substance called honeydew, in which a black fungas growth may de- velop. The honeydew may pre- vent pollination and cause some barren stalks in the field. Us- ually t h e infestation is more severe in late -planted corn. Control To prevent appreciable .dam- age, plant corn early and en- sure rapid growth by fertiliza- tion and good cultural meth- ods. T h e aphid is mainly a nuisance and seldom requires GODERICH BUSINESS COLLEGE 24th Fail Term Opens Sept. 7 Practical Instruction in all Commercial Subjects SENIOR AND JUNIOR COURSES Examinations set, marked, and Diplomas issued by THE BUSINESS EDUCATORS' ASSOCIATION OF CANADA Modern Equipment — Qualified Teachers Monthly Tuition $32 Dial 524-8521, 7284, or 6307 for an appointment chemical control except in com- mercial seed •crops. if treat- ment is necessary, use malath- ion as a spray or dust; spray- ing after the tase]s first ap- pear in the whorls is of doubt- ful value. One pound of th e active ingredient should be used per acre, This amount is equivalent to 4 lb. of the 25 p e r c en t malathion wettable powder or to one and oneelalf pints of the 50 per cent malath- ion emulsion concentrate. Re- member., before applying an in- secticide, that the colonies may die out naturally when the in- fested parts of the plant lose their succulence. Mexican Bean Beetle This insect belongs to t e same family as the many bene- ficial species of lady beetles. The carnivorous lady beetles are numerous in cropping areas and are very helpful in that they provide a means of nat- urally controlling injurious in- sects. Generally they are about one-third to one-half the size of the closely related plant feeding injurious Mexican Bean Beetle. The beneficial lady beetles are usually black and red or reddish -brown, s o m e - times the spots or markings being black on a red ground. In a number of species the beet- le is entirely black or orange - brown. The Mexican Bean Beetle has an exceptional habit for a lady beetle in being a plant feeder. It has been numerous and has required control with an insect- iside in some fields in the Bay- field - Varna area for several years. This may be true again in 1965. The dark orange -brown spot- ted. one-quarter inch long, nearly circular or oval in out- line. strongly convex adult, winters in protective places. In the spring they feed on growing bean plants, eating the under surface of the leaves and giving them a characteristic skeleton- ized appearance. After about 10 days they begin laying their orange -yellow eggs in clusters, approximately one-quarter inch across. of about 50 on the un - ZURICH LIONS; -- 20th ANNIVERSARY A ST 25 ON Mi Street Z yRICH Wedding Carter - Hood Saturday, July 31, St. An- drew's United Church, Kippen, was the scene of a candlelight ceremony performed by the Rev. D. A. MacMillan, London, when Miss Joyce Mae Hood, of Kippen, and Mr. Ronald Ross Carter, of Welland, plighted their throth with the exchange of rings. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hood, of Kippen. The groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ronald J, Carter, of Clinton. The bride chose a floor -length gown of imported silk organza over bridal taffeta. The fitted bodice had a 'scoop neckline, elbow -length sleeves. A sime- controlled skirt flowed: into a full cathedral train. The bodice, waist and hem were trimmed with chantilly lace and sequins. The cathedral length veil was held by a circlet of chantilly lace and sequins and featured a hand -rolled face veil of im- ported silk illusion. She car- ried a crescent bouquet of De- light roses. Mrs. Douglas Cartwright, of Clinton, matron of honor, and Misses Rosemary MacDonald, Clinton, and Diane Perkin, Lon- don, bridesmaids, chose similar floor -length gowns of coquette blue Italian silk featuring a ba- teau n e c k 1 i n e, elbow -length sleeves and an empire waist. Back interest was designed with a "V" neckline and unpressed pleats topped with a box form- ing a Wateau train. They wore halo pouffe'bonnets id match- ing coquette blue silk, and carried baskets of Shasta mums. The flower girl, Miss Kim Carter, Orangeville, niece of the groom, wore a white nylon floor -length chiffon dress with puffed sleeves, jewelled neck- line, empire waist and a bouf- fant skirt. A sash bow and halo bonnet of matching co- quete blue completed the en- semble. She carried a basket of Shasta mums' The bride's mother wore a beige French silk linen three- piece suit. The sheath, street - length dress had a shirred chif- fon top. Her accessories were Slatted Floors (Continued from page 3) Indeed, slatted floors have been a necessity in small countries where bedding has not been available. How, then, is this new hous- ing constructed? The same conventional buildings are used; only the floor is different. Con- crete, steel, or timber slats are placed over •a large pit. The slats are approximately eight feet long and are designed so that they are four to five inches wide at the top, tapering to two inches at the botom. These slats are then placed on the floor with a space of 13/4 inches sage of Talisman roses. The groom's mother •chose an ensemble of white linen with a powder blue lace blouse. Her accessories were white and black, Her corsage was Delight roses. Mr. Terry Carter, Orange- ville, attended his brother as groomsman. The ushers were Mr. Richard Carter and Mr. David Carter, of Win d s o r, brothers of the groom. Following the 'ceremony din- ner was served in the church rooms. Later in the evening many friends and relatives attended a reception and dance at Elm Haven Motel, Clinton. For travelling the bride changed to a sheath dress of white cotton lace over rose foundation, matching rose stole and pink and white accessories. Her corsage was white gar- denias. of cafe e lait. She wore a cor- derside of the leaves. The eggs hatch in approxi- mately 10 to 14 days in early summer, later in approximately one week. This time can vary with the temperature and cli- mate. The orange -fuzzy larvae re- main for a few days grouped together on one leaf, then sep- arating to feed by themselves. The earlier larvae may take five weeks to become fully grown, but later ones need. only about 20 days and the pupal stage averages about one week. making the time from egg to beetle slightly over a month in summer. In Huron County only one or one and a partial generation are produced. The number of eggs laid averages nearly 500 per female. The adult beetle begins to leave the fields for their winter hibernation quarters, pr e f e r - ably in ground liter in nearby fence -rows and woodlands, late in summer and by the time of the first frost they are near- ly all gone. Soil Treatment Mexican bean betties in at least one area (Huron County) require control each year. Where this is the case (and not otherwise) apply Thimet (phor- ate) to the soil as a pre -plant treatment at 10 pounds of 10 per cent granular per acre. Apply below and to the side of the seed—never in contact with it. Foilage Treatment Mexican bean beetles are usually not troublesome every year. As soon as they do ap- pear to be troublesome, control can be obtained by applying one of the following treatments to the foliage according to the manufacturers' directions. Spray -50 per cent Sevin, 2EC Thiodan, Dimethoate (Cy- gon 4E R.ogor 4). Dust -3 per cent Thiodlen, 1 per cent Rotenone dust (best for garden beans.). Mexican bean beetles may be a problem in some areas this year. Growers shouldn't get into a panic over ,insect pests or allow anyone to high-pres- sure thein. Be observant and check your fields regularly. If growers are not familiar with these insects and are in doubt as to whether it is necessary to use an insecticide or not please do not hesitate to contact the Extension Branch, Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, Clin- ton. h�lduJ.SRC BY H (AVM/ RS Join in the Faun Al This.

(Construction plans are available from. the School of Engineering, Ontario "agricul- tural College, Guelph.) "The manure pits should be cleaned out ,Once or twice a year by front end loaders or, if the manure is liquefied to the right degree, by pumps," Professor Theakston states. "Care must be taken in the de- sign of the slats since animal health is endangered if the floor is rough or uneven. Tim- ber tends to warp, especially soft woods, so I recommend white oak if you're using wood. Both steel and concrete pro- vide good support for nirnais, but steel may be slippery on the surface and concrete has rough edges if it's not properly formed." Some of these labor-saving units are already operating in Ontario, Since this construc- tion, if properly designed, will enable the farmer to house twice as many animals in the same area as he would in most beef cattle houses, greater in- terest in slatted floors can be expected in the very nar fu- ture.
