London, March 13.-Concerning

twelve years standing and during

the services rendered to the allied
cause in the course OF the war,
shown herself an honorable and

continues:

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good. pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed In the

ro ERADICATE GARDEN PEST
Most Effective Method Of Combating
Nematode GalIworms Is to
Starve It to Death.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The very serious losses caused by
the gallworm nematode In gardens, es-
pecially in the South have resulted IN
the trial of numerous methods OF con-
troll. One of the most effective meth
ods vet tested is to stnrve the pest
This may be accomplished by dividing
the garden into two parts, one OF which
is available for cultivation. fowls be.
ing kept on the other half and changed
from one to the other about every two
to four years. The gallworm is abso-
lutely dependent on the roots of the

no such plants are allowed to grow.
the pest is starved, and in the course
of a year or two 1t can be brought to
a stage where its ravages will not be
serious.
Alternate Garden and Fowl Run.
The suggested alienation of fowl
run with garden may be brought about
simply by fencing in the fowls. If
possible, 1t would be well to arrange
the division of the land in the direction
of its slope, so that the drainage VIII
not be from the garden to the FOWL
run or vice versa. The idea is to keep
the fowl run free from vegetation for
n year or two. This means that about
the maximum number of fowls for the
area must be kept and that the soil
must be occasionally spaded or other
wise stirred. This stirring of the soil
Is good thing for the fowls and helps
also to reduce the nematode pest, for
~ iG
soil Is brought to the action of the sun
and air and becomes more or less dis
infected through their action on the
eggs and larvae of the pest.
There are thousands of gardens
where this procedure is practicable.
Definite information with regard to
the existence of the gallworm nema-
tode may be obtained by submitting
abnormal roots to the department OF
agriculture for examination.

Attention Must Be Given to Removal
of Wood as Well as to Height
and Formation.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
In pruning fruit-bearing plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation of the
head, but to the removal of wood as
well. The apple bears its fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood one year or more of age.
For that reason, therefore, the re-
mOval of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree is
capable of bearing. This then, is
practicable way of thinning the fruit.
Besides accomplishing this result prun-
ing can be used to lessen the annual
growth and force the energy of the
plant which would naturally be used
in making wood into the fruit, thus in
creasng its size or enabling the tree
to carry n larger quantity than would
be possible were normal wood growth
permitted.
The Ordway new era., 1918-05-17

The first step in the cultivation and
care of the garden lies in proper plow-
ing. spading and preparation of the
soil. The entire seedbed should be
thoroughly pulverized as deep as the
soil is plowed. The next step Is to
make sure that the rows are laid out
perfectly straight and far enough apart
so that when horse cultivation is en-
plOyed there will be sufficient room for
the horse to walk, and so that when
hand cultivation is to be employed
there will be room for the wheel hoe.
Straight rows enable the gardener to
give the crops better cultivation than
would be otherwise possible.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be given garden crops. BY keeping the
surface of the soil stirred n dust mulch
is formed, which prevents the loss of
moisture. In this way weeds are pre-
vented from getting n start.
Cultivate After Rains.
The soil should be cultivated as soon
as dry enough after a rain, to break
the crust and prevent baking. Sandy
soils may be cultivated when quite wet.
but clay soils should not be stirred
when wet enough to cling together in
a mass when lightly squeezed in the
