NOTES FROM YOUR

Mosquito Relief
Night prowling mosquitoes that
rest on shrubbery during the day
are due for short lives in moun
tain camp sites. USDA entomolo
gists recommend quick-killing
pyrethrum or allethrin space
sprays to control pests during the
early evening and a longer-last
ing DDT spray to trees, bushes
and grass around camp sites for
daylight control. About two
quarts of spray mixture will cov
er an acre of trees and bushes.
Campers will still find use for
mosquito repellents for clothing
and skin, and hand sprayers for
treating the insides of cabins or
tents.
Kitchen Gardens
In ordinary seasons a well- wat
ered kitchen garden produces at ■
least 5 percent more than one that
depends entirely on rainfall. The
quantity of water needed will de
pend on the crop and local con
ditions but the ground should be
wet to full root depth in each wat
ering. Otherwise, shallow rooting
:s encouraged.
“Preserved" Fense Posts
Mammy Yokum “preserves” jier
:urnips to make them last and
;hat is what Minnesota foresters
•irge farmers to do to their fence
eosts.
Several years of tests in the
States have proved that fence
posts treated with preservative
outlast the untreated posts. Good
untreated posts cost about 75
cents each and last about an aver
age of eight years in the states.
Treated fence posts cost a dollar
each, including setting, but will
last an average of 25 years. That
means a cost of four cents a
year and cuts down labor in
volved in replacing posts.
