MEALY BUG
AND SCALE
Insect Also Called Cotton Aphls
Does Great Injury to Plants
r.. by Sucking Sap From
Them.

Sometimes we get plants from the
florist on which this pest has estab-
lished itself, and in this way other
plants in the collection become il
fected.
Another name for the mealy bug Is
cotton aphis, and this is much the
most appropriate name, for the crea-
lures resemble bit of cotton more
t; an anything else.
Indeed, if one has never seen this
enemy of plant life he would not be
likely to suspect that the bit of down
showing here and there on the plant
mostly in the axil of the leaf, or some
other place in which he can stow him
self away snugly-harbored a living
organism.
But stir the cottony mass up little
and you will discover life In it-life
enough to do a great deal of injury to
your plants by sucking the sap from
them. If let alone, the plant soon be-
comes covered with cottony tufts, un.
der which the enemy turks to- do his
deadly work.
Fight the mealy bug pest with an
emulsion prepared as follows:

The hot bed is a very important
part of the outfit in a well kept gar
den. Itlengthens the season in which
we may supply our tables with choice
vegetables. A bed 6x12 feet, requir-
ing four sash 3x6 feet, gives us 4S
square feet of space. This is enough
to start all the plants Of cabbage,
cauliflower, beets, celery, onions, to-
matoes, egg plant and peppers that
may be used in three-quarter acre
garden. A garden, two or three hot
beds and as many cold frames is q
good start on the road to intensive
farming. r. 80. ).
There is no better way of getting
the boys interested In farming, than
to help them make a hot bed, fur
nish them the best seeds you can get
and turn it over to them to manage,
writes J. w. Griffin, in Farmers Re-
view. ~ :. tz. s,ss
T.. The best location for a hot bed is
on the south side of building, tight
board fence or in a place sheltered. by
hedge row. The site should be a lit.
tie higher than the surrounding
ground to insure good drainage.
Make an excavation little more
than six feet wide for sash Of common
size, "a inches deep and as long as
needed to- accommodate the desired
number of sashes. When possible
make the bed running east and west
as this will give the plants more d.
rect sunshine. Set stakes three or
four feet apart, around the sides and
ends Of the excavation and inclose
the opening tightly with boards from
the bottom clear up. to hinder the ii.
trusion of moles, rats and mice. The
north side should be 16 OF Is inches
above the surface, the south side, six
inches lower. SO as to give the sash

Spray the plants affected very thor

mixture into every nook and creyice
where the mealy bug has seen fit to

be kept indefinitely in closely corked
bottles.
This same emulsion is of great value
in the treatment of scale, which is often
found on palms, oleanders and other
thick-leaved plants. Use one part of
the soap-and-kerosene mixture to six
parts water, and wash the plants, leaf

with soft cloth to dkslodge the scale

The RuShtOn Land Case

The case of Rushton VS.. Burke n
Campbell and Carpenter occupied the
first two days of the term. This case
has been On the docket since January,
1907. 1t has been tried three times.
The first time Judge Adams, withou:
the aid of a jury, decided the case in
favor of plaintiff. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, which re-
versed Judge Adams decision on tech
nical grounds. E 3d.
The vas again tried before a
jury which disagreed.
At this term the jury gave the plain
tiff a verdict for sl,450 and interest
from January, 1907.
!. The facts in the case are substan-
italy as follows: In the fall OF 1906
Joshua Rushton accompanied Allen
II. Carpenter to Imperial, Chase
ty, where he made a contract for the
purchase of quarter section of land,
paying Sl,450 down and agreeing to
pay S2,250 on the Goth day of January,
1907, when he was to receive a deed.
Becoming convinced that he had
been misused, he employed Attorney
Bernard McNeny, who went to I'm
perial and rescinded the contract, and
demanded the return of the Sl,45O
paid.
Without going into particulars, it is
sufficient to- SAY that the general sen.
timent approves the verdict rendered
in the case, which returns Rnstdon's
money to him,
