KEEPING PLANT LICE AWAY
Vines Will Prove Efficacious II
Strictly Adhered To.

Buy a sack OF tobacco dust, just
the ordinary cheap kind, and dust 1t
plentifully all around the cucumber
vines as soon as they come through
the ground, and keep busting it
around them once a week all sum-
mer. Give the melons the same treat
ment.
Plant lice do not like tobacco, and
generally this will keep them off. 1t
is almost impossible to fight plant
lice on vines when they are once es-
tablished, but II they are kept away
right from the start we can often sue

them.

in time the tender tips may be pinched
off with the fingers and the use Of
shears is not necessary. The patch
must be gone over more than once,
since the canes will not all reach the
desired height at the same time.
Briefly summarized, the pruning Of
the black raspberry is as follows: The
old canes should be cut out and
burned soon after fruiting. The new
canes should be pinched back when
"a tc 80 inches high, and thinned to
not more than five or six canes to each
crown. This pruning is called sum-
mer pruning, and is done in June or
July. In the spring the lateral
branches are cut back so that the re-
naming buds will develop into strong
fruit clusters.

PRUNING THE TOMATO VINES
More Fruit Produced Than on Plants
Allowed to Develop With No At
tention to Shape.

Pruned tomato vines will produce
more fruit and superior quality to
that grown on vines that are allowed
to develop with no attention as to
shape and density of the foliage. The
plant that must supply sustenance to
more branches than are necessary for
supporting the crop, will have its vi
tally so uselessly sapped by them that
the fruit will be small in size and OF
an inferior quality.
No set rule can be given for prun-
ing tomatoes. which should be done
according to their size, shape and Wig
or. However, tall, top-heavy vines are
to be guarded against by cutting out
the tops. thus encouraging lower
growth and heavier branches for sup
porting the fruit. Long. slender
branches are to be trimmed back well,
else the fruit will be understood, while
the timber branches often will bend
down till the tomatoes come i'm con.
tact with the damp earth. causing
premature ripening and rot.
Those who have had little or no ex-
perience In pruning tomatoes might
do we'll to wait till the vines begin to
blossom, before trimming out any of
the branches. when it can be seen
where the crop will be too thick
these spots being thinned out by clip
ping off the smaller and weaker
branches, leaving the healthy, vigor-
Gus ones for developing and support
ing the fruit.

HARSH WITH MODERN DANCE

The significant thing about the re-
cent order from Rome prohibiting the
dance as a part of church entertain
ments among the Catholic laity is
that the command is predicated upon
the degenerate condition of the mod
ern dance. The restriction applies
only the immediate auspices OF the
church itself, and does not change
the liberal indulgence in the pastime.
The order comes on the heels of the
recent edict of the dancing masters
association in convention that the
preversion of the dance in this coun-
try has gone to such lengths that
drastic measures would have to be
adopted to check the evil tendencies.
The stage is blamed and perhaps
justly so, for the corruption of the
dance, which in the past few years
has passed from a dignifed, grace
full expression of bodily rhythm to a
sort of go-as-you-please exhibition Of
ungainly acrobatics, sometimes as vul-
gar as it is ungraceful.
The sane and sensible public, both
dancers and onlookers, have watched
this degration of a fine and whole
some form Of amusement and recrea-
tion with regret, but has been power
less to stop is. Many of the modern
so-called dances have been transplant
ed from the stage, where mere sensa-
tionalism inspired the most freakish
and offensive variation from good
form, modesty and gracefulness
