ERADICATING PESTS
FROM FARM GARDEN
Onion Worm Is Formidable Foe
to Deal With-Green Aphis
SapS Vigor of Cucumber.
CBy NJ. ROBERTS CoNovER.) }

War should be waged from the first
appearance Of any garden pests; for,
from the grub or maggot that feasts
upon the tender onion bulbs to the
tiny green aphis that saps the vigor
of the melon or cucumber through its
foliage, their depredations advance
rapidly.
When your onions flatten their
green tops on the ground pull up sew
eral and examine the bulb. If you
find it wriggling mass of tiny worms,
you have formidable guest to deal
with.
Dig up the affected onions and de-
stroy them, If the bed is not extensive
ly infested, then make an emulsion of
carbolic acid and soapsuds in the pro-
portion Of one pound of hard soap,
one gallon Of water and one pint of
crude carbolic acid.
Dissolve the soap in the water and
add the carbolic acid, stirring until it
forms an emulsion. Then dilute 1t
with seven and one-half quarts of wa
ter. Pour this down the rows, close
to the plants.
Holes eaten in cabbage leaves are
due to the cabbage worm; a green
creature, whose appetite demands an
extensive area Of leaf food. Paris
green mixed with land plaster, in the
proportion of four ounces of paris
green to twenty-five of land plaster
will kill them.
This is busted over the plants from
a covered tin vessel with a perforated
bottom. When done during the
growth Of the plant this does not rem
der them injurious as food, as the
growth is from the center.
But If your young cabbage plants
are nipped off just above the ground
with a smooth, clean cut, save your
plaster. A cutworm has been there
He is the meanest creature ever held
on a charge of malicious mischief. He
delights in compost and you will find
him near the finest vegetables.
This worm comes out of the ground
in cool, cloudy weather, or at night
! He will nip off any valuable plant in
his vicinity and retire. A circle oi
poisoned bran about the plants will
destroy these worms. Two ounces ot
paris green are mixed with twent,
five pounds Of bran. This should be Al
least three inches from the plants ,elst
the poison will injure them.
A collar Of stiff, brown paper, sC
large as not to choke the plant at any
stage Of growth, is a protection, II il
extends an inch below, and an incl
and half above ground.
A handful of tobacco stems, mixet
with the soil in the hill, is destructiv,
to pests, and does not injure plants.
When the striped beetle appears OF

DESIGNS IN NECKMEAR
RADICAL CHANGE FROM THOSE
OF LAST YEAR.
Fine, Sheer Wolfe Is a New Material
Which May BE Made Up at Home
Into the Dalntlest Of Dress
Accessories.

Neckwear designs this season differ
radically from those Of last year be-
cause Of the change from low to high
neck. This naturally means either a
considerable expenditure for new neck
wear or considerable sewing in spare
time at home. Homemade neckwear
can be quite as dainty as that seen in
the shops. and can be produced at
much less cost.
Very fine, sheer voile is a new ma
terial used for neckwear. 1t is In
tended to supersede organdie, and be-
lieve 1t will quickly find favor-if for
no reason other than that it is very
easily laundered. Since neckwear.. to
be attractive. must be ever fresh. any
thing which will tend to lessen the
laundry work is sure to be appreciated.
Net is a close second to voile. This,
too. is not difficult to keep clean. and
1t wears like iron.
Net is lightly embroidered this year.
For example, a little vine in the front
of the chemisette divides and runs on
either side of the collar. This Is
worked with medium fine embroidery
cotton in solid satin and outline stitch
The work Is easy to do II the design be
backed with tissue paper. The paper

The fluffy side frill is in vogue again
A jabot thus adorned will do much to
redeem a somber-looking dress or an
out.of-date waist. There should be q
number of these fluffy frills lying about
at home. as it was SO popular a model

And on the strength of these facts there is a general disposition on part of the pub lie to refuse to believe that the strik CTS had anything to do with the burn ing of the property.
 Adjutant General Harris arrived here this evening from Phoenix and found everything quiet and no new develop ments in the strike situation. A con- ServatiVe estimate of the value of the mining property destroyed places the loss at not less than $150,OOO of which amount S100,000 is said to have been covered by insurance.
