About dozen enthusiastic Keokuk
gardeners hraved the suns rays this
morning to stand for an hour in gar
den at the corner of Twelfth and Sey-
mour streets to learn how to prepare
a scientific, and therefore effective re-
ception for some of the more common
ly known plant pests. Professor Hol-
niger, the truck garden expert from
Ames, was giving a practical demon
stration on the treatment of plant lice,
worms and insects.
Professor Holfnger explained that
the first essential to the effective
treatment is to know the pest with
which one Is dealing. He then pro-
ceeded to explain the idiosyncracies
and habits of the potato bug and the
cabbage worm and coddling moth and
such other forms of animal life as
every amateur gardener is all too ia
miliar with and too often unable to
cope with.
After learning the daily routine
through which every bug goes from
the time he begins work in the morn
ing until he retires for the night to get
ready for the next days onslaught the
class was instructed that the way to
beat him at his own game Is to furnish

People in Main street estimated

A little later there came auo.ocr

When the stolen car crossed the

How to Spray Them.


Spray your plants with solution
of from one half ounce to an ounce
of arsenate of lead to evegy gallon OF
water. Or If you just can't overcome
your fear that what is poison for bugs
is poison for human beings, you may
go to the drug store and buy some
"Black Leaf 49," which is tobacco
preparation, and apply 1t according to
the directions on the package.
That is what those who attended
the lecture gathered from the hours
demonstration.
"I have heard OF. cases OF poisoning
from eating cabbage that had been
sprayed but I have never known OF
such case to be true when 1t was In
vestigated," said Professor Holn2ger'
"The poison can only get on the out
aide leaves and since the head forms
from within there is absolutely no
chance of getting any Of the poison IN
the cabbage"
