necessarily be placed on the root where
the maggot must eat it. To do this
the soil must be pulled away from
the roots, and the spray applied, pre-
ferably with pressure. This makes
such a treatment rather expensive.
Any of the poison sprays, such as
Paris green, or arsenate of lead, can
be used in this way. Care should be
taken with these sprays not to let the
children or live stock get at them, as
they are very poisonous. Dipping
the plants to be transplaDted in a
soution of arsenate of lead is Highly
recommended by some. It should be
used at the rate of four pounds of the
paste to 81 gallons of water when used
in this way. A little of the solution

PRIZE FOR SIRE HORSES.

The Bureau of Animal Industry of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture is informed by Mr.. j. Slough
grove, secretary of the Shire Horse
Society of England, that the council
of his society, desiring to encourage
the owners and breeders of Shire
horses in America, have resolved to
offer ten gold challenge cups, valued
at $3.50 each, from the year 1913 to
1917, inclusive.
Two of these gold cups will be an
nually awarded to representative
American shows in rotation during
the five years that the scheme is in
operation.

THE GARDEN SLUG.

The garden slug Casually termed
snaiI is often very destructive in
this locality, appearing in greater
numbers during wet season. There
are several species of slugs some of
them an inch or two in length, while
others are considerably larger. Some
are greenish or gray in color while
others are still lighter colored.
This pest feeds on a variety of
plants, particularly truck crops. 1t
locates at the surface Of the soil feed
ing sometimes below the surface on
the plant roots and sometimes on the
foliage.
CONTROL MEASURES.
Birds are very fond of slugs and are
probably the greatest natural means
of control. Poultry can sometimes
be used to keep them in check. Re-
fuse of all kinds should be removed
from the field after the crop is har-
vested and the fence corners should
be kept free of weeds and trash.
Pieces of board can be placed in
different parts of the field under
which many of the slugs will collect.
They can then be easily destroyed.
In the Biennial Crop Pest and Horti-
cultural Report (1911 and 1922 of the
Oregon Agricultural College the fol
lowing materials are suggested as con-
troll measures:
Air slaked lime, five parts; helle-
bore, one part Poisoned bran mash
is also suggested, made by using 16
pounds coarse bran, one pound Paris
green, one gallon cheap syrup, warm
water enough to make mash Place
in heaps around the base of the host
plants.

us clue to the way of controlling
the pest. AS the pupae live over the
winter in the soil, or in the old roots,
it is advisable to destroy all old roots,
rubbish, and wild forms of Crucifera
nearby, and pillow deep in the fall. 1t
is also advisable to grow a different
character of crop on. the soil sue
ceeding year.
There are two ways to control the
root maggot: To prevent the fly from
laying the eggs around the plant, or
to kill the maggot after it is Matched.
The first, or preventive method, Is
probably the best, but the latter may
prove of some value, and combina-
ton of the two will probably be work
ed out. Napthaline fakes repel the
fly, and can be scattered around the
plant very easily. These flakes are
quite insoluble, and an application
scattered around the root Of the plant
will last for ten days or two weeks,
depending on the weather. They
cost from II cents to 20 cents pound.
A pound will treat continuous row
of turnips about $50 feet long. Crops
from seed should be treated before
the fly becomes active. This is when
the plants are about an inch or less
high.
Tarred paper discs in the form of
collars put around the plants at the
time of transplanting will keep the
fly from laying the eggs around them.
The discs should be placed firmly
around the plant, and on the ground
SO that the fly cannot get under them.
They should be about two inches in
diameter.
Plants that are grown in the seed
bed to be transplanted should be
grown in rich, we'll worked soil, and
should be covered with cheese-cloth.
Twelve to twenty meshes to the inch
is sufficiently heavy enough. This
costs very little and insures good
plants to put in the field.
Any spray to kill the maggot must

the gold cups will be awarded (a) for
the best registered Shire stallion, (b)
for the best registered Shire mare,
duly certified by the official veterinary
officer as sound and free from heredi-
tary disease.
Horses entered for these cups must

Breeders of English Shire horses
in the United States will no doubt be
interested and encouraged by this
recognition of Shire breeding in the
United States by the parent society.

"THIS IS A
REAL NURSERY"

A year or so since we quoted the
above remark make by practical
orchardist and horticulturist, who
dropped in to see our plant after he
had visited most of the nurseries in
Washington.
What this gentleman saw on that
particular day was what goes on
here at shipping time for about four
weeks in the fall and six weeks in
the spring, besides which he, of
course, saw the fields of full-grown
stock ready for digging while the
spring visitor would see the plant
ing being done.
In other words, he saw a big
packing house, well systematized,
everything in it's place and fine,
clean, wellrooted stock being pack
ed out in good order for customers
in every section of the Northwest.
He saw about 40 varieties of ap-
pies, about 40 pear, so peach, 20
apricot, IS plum, 80 prune, 40 cher
ry, ETC., right down through all the
staple fruits, shade and ornamental
stock, totalling 1920 varieties, each
in it's own place.
And that's why this is a real nur-
sery. We grow full assortment of
all the best that belongs in COM
plete plant. It's delivered to our
customers in good order, and it's
backed up by dependable con-

destroyed the Spanish forces. but not an
American was killed. There were two
bombardments. One took place in the
morning. Then occurred a remarkable in
cident in warfare. The American squad
ron drew off to the farther end of the
bay and ceased firing in time for break

that there was no organized insurrection
of the Fflipinos against Spain at that
time. so he thought it safe to bring Agui-

Hongkong TO get Aguinaldo. He arrived
with thirteen of his staff May 10, and i'm
mediately boarded the flagship Olympia

in order to strengthen American interests

Admiral Dewey has been severely CEN
