MANY GARDEN CROPS
ATTACKED BY PESTS
Rotation Is Recommended as One
Of the Best Remedies.
Exposing Insects to UnfavorabIe Tenn.
perature Changes and TO Attacks
of Birds Helps Materially
Observe Sanitation.

By JAMES q. MOORE, Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture.)
Practically all garden crops are at
tackled during their development by
one or more pests. These pests are
ordinarily classified as disease or in
sect. The greater struggle on the part
of the gardener usually has to be
waged against insects.
Frequently the seriousness of the
attack Is due to neglect on the part
Of the gardener to follow some of the
simple practices which tend to reduce
the danger to the minimum.
One of the first things for the gar
dener to observe is garden SANTA
ton" Frequently garden pests, both
insect and disease, are carried over
on the waste material Of the previous
seasons crop. While working refuse
material into the soil is commonly
recommended. one should be sure that
In so doing he is not inviting troubld
for next season by providing pest
to be controlled. Burn leaves and
stems or other refuse if there is the
least suspicion Of its being source
Of infestation.
Rotation of crops is one Of the best
methods of avoiding pests In ordinary
farm operations. In the case of those
insects which pass the winter In the
upper layer Of soil, fall tillage, which
exposes the pest to the unfavorable
temperature changes and to the at
tacks of birds, helps materially.
Another sanitation measure Is the
removal from the garden or immedi-
ate vicinity Of weeds or other plants
upon which garden insects may feed.
Very frequently there would be no
serious trouble from particular in
sect If its presence had not been en'
couraged by such plants.

Flowers of sulphur .........16 pounds
Stone (unslaked) lime .......14 pounds
Water 80 gallons
The sulphur is run through a piece

is then made into a thin soupy paste
by adding water slowly and stirring.
The lime is next put in and more wa
ter added, and the mixture stirred
slowly, as the lime slakes. Following
this, about ten gallons of water is
added and the mixture boiled from so
minutes to one hour. 1t is then made
up to so gallons, with warm water,
and sprayed onto the trees while

Spray In Dormant Season.
The San Jose scale Is so resistant to
sprays that any spray strong enough
to kill it will destroy the foliage of
the trees If applied during the summer.
We therefore have to spray against
the San Jose scale during the dormant
season.
Where the trees are badly infested
two sprayings should be given-the
first, soon after the trees are made
dormant by frost in the fall, and the
second just before growth begins in
the spring Much time and material Is
saved in the spraying if the trees are
pruned before the spraying Is done.
