TO ERADICATE GARDEN PEST
Most Effective Method Of Combating
Nematode GaIIworms 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
DDS yet tested is to starve the pest.
This may be accomplished by dividing
the garden into two parts, n 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
higher plants for its nourishment. If
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 it's slope. so that the drainage will
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 a good thing for the fowls and helps
also to. reduce the nematOde pest, for
every time the earth is spaded fresh
soil is brought to the action of the sun
and air and becomes more or less dis
infected through their action OF 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.

to have a continuous supply of peas

word raid" is as old as the Scottish border but
will never again be employed, l imagine except
in association with attacks by air. At first we
always said "ar raid" but now raid alone Is
sufficient. Should the enemy find any other way
of hitting at the heart Of us there will be another
word than "raid" to describe his efforts. And to
these I would add that early flower OF Armaged-
