Aphids
BY r. w. WESLER.
Garden Supervisor,

For the last two years. plant lice
have done much damage, not only to
garden truck, but to ornamental shrub
berry. This year they are present in
even greater numbers, due to the mild
winter, which failed to destroy the
wintering eggs.
All plants should be watched care
fully for the first appearance of pests
and as soon as they are found the
plants should be thoroughly sprayed
with nicotine sulphate. The plant lice
can usually be found on the tips of
growing shoots or on the under sur
face of leaves; in each case they suck
the plant juices, causing the leaves
and shoots to curl and wilt. Unless
the pests are controlled quickly, they
will cause considerable damage.
Spray infected plants with nicotine
sulphate, 40 per cent, using one tea
spoonful of the nicotine sulphate to
one gallon of water. In spraying
plants that have smooth leaves, bet
ter results are obtained by adding one
cubic inch Of good soap and thor
oughly mixing the spray. The add
ton of the soap causes the spray to
spread out and stick better.

Camden business men are optimistic
and the bank deposits reflect a healthy
condition. Neff & Fry, the cement
stave silo men. say that they are as
busy as cranberry merchants and that
they are swamped with orders for silos
from their agents who cover a large
territory. Viewed from the establish
ed level of high prices, which show no
inclination to come down OF the perch,
1t would seem that the day to build
has arrived, particularly so as there
are now no restrictions as to material
nor to telling when one can build more
cheaply or to better advantage as to
the cost of either material or labor.
Nor does this apply to Camden alone
or in particular. 1t means Richmond,
Eaton, Cambridge City, Hagerstown,
or any old place on the Indiana or
Ohio maps, and then some.

grass spring up and smother them
It may be that the sap sours in the
roots and the bacteria die.
If we cut alfalfa too late the tops
of the new shoots are clipped off by
the mower. The new crop then has
to make another start. This puts IL
back and often weeds and grass grow
up and choke it out.
There is but one way to tell when
to cut alfalfa. We must watch for
the new sprouts and pay no attention
to the blossom.
If we get down on our knees in
our alfalfa field and separate the
stems of alfalfa at the crown we can
see whether little shoots or sprouts
have started from the crown Of the
plants at the base of the stems or
from the stems themselves.
If they have started, 1t is time to
get out the mower and cut the alfalfa,
no matter what the weather is.
The little shoots may not be over
an inch or two long. but they will
grow so rapidly that in three or four
days they will be several inches long
and it will then be too late to cut the
alfalfa without doing injury to the
next crop.

Cutting Of Alfalfa at
Wrong Time Causes
Rauy Loss
BY p. q. HOLDEN.

TAnURE to make a success Of
alfalfa growing may be due to
any one of several things. Most
of us know that alfalfa will not do
well In sour soil; we know that the
soil may need to be inoculated; we
know that alfalfa must be properly
cultivated. But many Of US do not
realize that alfalfa should be cut at
exactly the right time, or else we
do net know when the right time is.
Failure to cut alfalfa at the proper
time has ruined thousands of fields
and discouraged thousands Of farm
ers.
These two things should always be
borne in mind:
II we cut alfalfa too soon, the
plants become yellow and sickly
they do not do well and weeds and
