 Hungry hordes of bugs and blights are sure to strafe us in June and and foliage, to take the offensive and make formidable cnslaughts. For us to carry on successful campaign against them and keep them out of our trenches we must be equipped to re- pulse their massed attacks and to ceunter-attack with suitable ammu- milton and adequate artillery. Now is the time to establishc ammunition dumps and Timber up machine guns. Buy your spray materials carly arsenate of lead, nicotine extract pre- parations. and bordeaux mixture may
 be bought in ready prepared forms. to
 be used according to directions. They will keep indefinitely and there is no advantage of waiting until later on to
 buy. Tn fact, with the present con- ditions of transC Cortation, there is every reason for ordering at once. so
 as to be sure of having them on hand
 when needed. In addition to these three 1t will be we'll to secure the fol- lowing, which. for some purposes, are better than the three standard ma terials mentioned above: Paris green, heIlebore. copper carbonate solution, tobacco dust and flowers of sulphur. Remember that in all cases, howev- CT, success depends first upon imme- diate action, ans second. upon the thoroughness. Spraying that is de- layed or that is done in a careless | haphazard way will not give the de- sired results. Diseased or badly in- fested plants should be taken up carefully removed from the garden

 Avoid overcrowding and give thorough cultivation, and do everything else
