County Agent's Column 0 • Pins Shoot Moth Browning, dropping, and drying new shoots on pines indicate the presence of the European pine shoot moth. Only two needled pines in this area seem to be affected by this pest. It prefers Red Pine and the ornamental Mugo Pine but will attack Scotch, Austrian and Jack Pines as well,..Timely application of insecticides is the key control states A. T. Parrish, Purdue forestry extension specialist. The life history of the European pine shoot moth is interesting and the only clue to its control. The adult moths emerge during late June and early July. The eggs are* laid near the tips of the twigs* They hatch in about 10 days and the young larva bore into the base of the needles. During the latter part of the summer the larva leave the needles and bore into the bnds 4 Hibernation tMte* placfe -either in the bud or under a mass of pitch on the bud. In the spring the larva bore into other buds or the developing shoots, usually killing them. They attain full growth in May. Pupation takes place in the burrow in the shoot, the pupa stage lasting about 18 days. The only time the insect Is exposed is from the time the egg hatches until the young larva bores into the needle sheath. At this time the insecticide must be in place to protect next year’s shoots from infestation, says Parrish. This time in Northern Indiana is the last week in June until about the middle of July. For control spray with 2 teaspoonfuls 50% wettable DDT powder or 4 teaspoonsful 25% DDT emulsion per gallon of water. A 5% DDT dust or rotenone may To obtain , «od control it is essential that buds and the new needle sheaths be covered with the insecticide. Apply material about the end of the third week in June and again in 10 to 14 days. SPRAYING CORN Spraying of corn with 2,4-D should be used in conjunction with and not as a replacements for cultivation, O. C. Lee, Purdue University extension botanist, has advised Hoosier farmers. It is most practical and economical to spray with 2.4-D to control weeds in com fields where ordinary cultivation does not do an adequate job of eradication. Spraying may also be considered as an emergency measure when weeds threaten to ruin the corn during periods of wet weather When cultivation is not possible. In this case, spraying with 2,4-D may save the crop. Lee says cultivation is stilL-ns-ually necessary to control grassy weeds that are not killed by spraying with 2,4-D. Two types of 2,4-D —amine anJ ester —are on the market Both are liquids and either may be used in corn fields. Spraying may be done at any time after the corn emerges.. Best results are usually obtained when the weeds are small, Lee reports An ordinary field type sprayer equipped with a straight boom is most practical for spraying when corn is up td one foot in height. When larger corn Is sprayed, drops should be attached to the boom so as : to apply the spray at the" base of the corn and directly to the weeds. Spraying over the top with a straight boom when &>rn is in this stage may not only cause injury to the corn but will result in a poor kill of weeds often protected- ybthe broad leaves of the corn plan t. Corn is subject to injury from 2.4-D when excessive does are applied. Therefore, it is important that the mixture of 2-4-D and water be in proper proportions and that the output of the sprayer apply the proper dosage, L®e cautions Two-thirds ol one pint should be added .to every 10 gallons of water and this amount should spray, one acre. Three.. .and onethird pints~'of 2,4-D should be added to a 50 gallon drum —enough

to spray five acres. ’ when this solution is applied at the rate of 10 gallons per acre, it will apply two-thirds of a pint of 2,4-D, the general recommenced dosage that will control most broad-leaved plants without causing injury to the corn.

: Suggests Checking ' Security Accounts Fort Wayne Manager Suggests Checking “It is good business to check your social security account at least every three or four years.” Christian H. W. Luecke, jnanager of the Fort Wayne social security office, reminds All persons covered by the social security law. “By checking your account, you can be sure that all your earnings that count toward old-age and survivors insurance were reported and credited correctly. If you find that all wages or self-employment income that can be are now credited, you | should then notify the local social

security district office and the necessary action will be taken,to correct your account. “Since all survivor and retirement benefits are based on your covered earnings, it is important thgt all wages and self-employ-ment income are correctly credited through the years.' * Luecke pointed out, however, that the earnings statements for the year 1956 are not available at this time since the posting of wages is not completed until six or nine months after the wages were paid. A record of wages paid through December, 1955, will generally be available at this time. Luecke stated that the local social security office, located at 717 Fulton St., has available a postcard form for those who wish to obtain a record of past earnings credited to their social security account.
