If you didn't then, in the cause of food
conservation and with the hope Of an
increased crop from the home gardens.
this summer, have these patches
cleared up. &.
The department Of agriculture sent
a plea to the people of the land to
clean up all plots that were used as
war gardens last year in order that the
insects that had been harbored in a
dormant state In the underbrush and
rubbish might be exterminated and not
permitted to multiply and increase.
Ideally, entomologists tell us, as soon
as the crop has been harvested, the
remnants should be promptly cleared
away and burned with the insects
which they harbor.
Many persons apparently believe
that the action Of winter SHOWS and
winds would be sufficient to destroy
insect life, but such is not the case.
