MAKING A VICTORY GARDEN

! other garden plants. One Of the com
| mon enemies is the bean-leaf beetle
| which eats root and top. the mature
| beetles eating out portions OF the
leaves and the young ors worms eat,
ing the roots and the plant stem just
below the ground. This beetle has
| four dark or black spots on him
| Fortunately, he Is not likely to prove
I much of a pest, but in case he does
appear and eats holes In the leaves
| one ounce to six quarts of water OF
| Bordeaux mixture.
| Blister beetles sometimes become
! quite nuisance on beans. They us
ually work in droves, and have been
| called army beetles" Take care how
| their name indicates, they may blister
your skin. If you are going to hand
pick them. put on golves first. They
are ravenous feeders and eat almost
any crop they can reach. The arsenate
| of lead used for the bean-leaf beetle
will kill the blister beetles also.
For the bean aphid or plant louise,
use nicotine sulphate spray.
The tomato fruit worm is nearly an
inch long. and comes in various
shades of green, pink or purple with
black stripes running from head to
tail. If sweet corn is near tomatoes
the corn will be first choice of this
worm, and the tomatoes will be i'm
mune from attack.
Tomato plants need spraying Tor
various diseases, and arsenate OF lead
should be added to take care of the
leaf-eating insects.
Onions are often damaged by sew
eral kinds of insects. but seldom suf-
fer from diseases in the garden. For
instance, If you dig down by the side
Of a plant which has been cut off you
probably will find a nice fat cutworm
taking a nap after his fine repast.
Little Jumps of poison bran mash
scattered along the onion rows will
tempt these fellows and save your
plants from attack.
The worst disease to which peas are
likely to be subject is mildew. This
shows as a white coating over the
leaves and pods. and ruins the crop.
II mildew appears dust the plants
imm ediately with sulphur and repeat
remains. Another remedy is to spray
with Bordeaux mixture every ten
days as long as you see any traces of
the disease.
The twelve-spotted cucumber beetle
and also the striped one are about as
greedy when they get started as any
marauders in the garden. They can
outeat almost any living thing their size
Therefore a good thing to serve them
early in their young life is bit of
arsenate of lead.
There are several incurab1e dis
eases which may attack elephants.
One Of these is blight or wilt. another
is fruit rot; and the only remedy is
to pull up and burn the whole plant. al
though spraying at the start may check
fruit rot.
Several leaf-eating beetles are fond
of eggplant leaves, the worst being
the flea beetle. which eats practically
all of the leaf tissue. leaving only
skeleton of fiber veins. The potato
beetle sometimes gets over on the
egRplants. Arsenate Of lead Is best

Now Is the time for all good garden
greens to come to the aid Of the
victory gardener. OF course, 1t de-
ponds somewhat on the gardener him.
self whether this expected aid is
given. 1t is very easy along about
this time of year to let thoughts OF
vacation and other summer pleasures
break in on the more serious work
on hand. Now is the time also to
apply the old proverb about putting
the hand to the pillow and not turning
back. But 1t is not believed that any
of the numerous victory gardeners
of Washington are going to abandon
their patriotic and worthy efforts in
the raising of homegrown food.
This is the season also to be on the
qui vive for bugs and insects. for they
will begin now to get in their deadly
attacks on your corn and cabbage
and peas and other vegetables II they
are not vigorously checked in the be-
ginning. The point to remember is
that these enemy pests will not stop
for vacations or holidays, but will eat
their way right ahead, and so the
fight against them must be steady
and continuous.
New garden enemies appear some
years. For instance. there was one
known as the European corn borer,
which is supposed to have been
brought into the United States sew
eral years ago and which has ap-
peared in a number of places. Let
the victory gardener be on the watch
out for this fellow, which spends the
winter as a caterpillar in cornstalks
and some of the larger weeds. and
about the middle of May pupates and
emerges as a moth and lays num-
Der Of eggs, sometimes as many as
700. The caterpilIars from these eggs
feed upon early corn. About the last
of July these caterpillars pupate and
early in August another generation
of moths appear, which feed on the
stalks and ears of corn. In the fall
the way to get rid of this pest is to
pull up and burn all cornstalks, to-
gether with all old vines and all large
weeds throughout and around the
garden.
There are a variety of aphids that
do damage in the garden, and
melons, turnips. potatoes. cabbage
and spinach, among other vegetables.
are on their menu list. The standard
remedy is to spray with nicotine sui
phate; and such action should not be
neglected, for once these bugs get
started they increase rapidly.
The harlequin cabbage bug will try
to have a circus in your garden plot
If you don't get the laugh on him
first. In his gaudy spotted dress khis
comedian looks like the old clown OF
the three-ring performance. This
fellow sucks his food and nicotine
sulphate is the remedy" for him. The
older they get tho harder 1t is to de-
stroy them by spraying. The old ones
should be hand picked and killed. :
For hea beetles, which attack cab
bage, the proper poison is arsenate
of lead Bordeaux mixture tends to
keep these jumpers away.
Beans have their own special in
scots to contend with just as do many
