ment Of Agriculture.)
From the time the seeds are planted
insect enemies and diseases may ap-
pear that, unless they are controlled,
will destroy much of the value of the
garden. Garden and truck crop spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture have worked out
a great many specific means for de-
stroying insects or holding them in
check. They point out the fact, how
ever, that preventive measures are
best.
1t Is important to have the soil deep
ly plOwed or spaded and made loose
and light with plenty of well-rotted
manure or compost and to keep the
ground cultivated so that the surface
will not become hard or weedy. Use
the best seed to be had and sow it
literally to get good stand, but thin
out the plants, as overcrowded plants
are In much greater danger of becom-
ing diseased than those that receive
plenty of air and sunshine.
Rotate Crops II Possible.
Farmers have found that by rotat.
ing their crops they reduce the injury
from plant diseases and insects and
also increase the fertility of the soil.
This principle applies TO the home
garden. where, If possible, 1t will be
better to make a new plan each year,
placing each vegetable where some
other grew the year befOre-peas on
the old tomato ground, beets and car.
rots after the corn. etc. The details
Of this rotation must vary in each case
according to the climate. soil, and
vegetables grown and the diseases and
insects to be guarded against.
Avoid introducing insects and dis.
eases on plants obtained for setting
out. Practice clean cultivation. EN-.
ploy fertilizers to stimulate plant
growth. Work on the principle that
vigorous growing garden will pro-
duce crop in spite of injurious in
sects and diseases.
Become familiar with the insects
and diseases known to occur in your
district on the crops you are growing
Equip yourself in advance with all
necessary remedies and the means OF
applying them. Remember that the
timely application of a remedy acts
as an insurance against loss.
Watch constantly for the first ap.
pearance of a disease or insect. In
spect the garden at least every other
day. Determine what is causing in
jury and apply the proper treatment

GREAT LITTLE BALL PLAYER
Only One Thing Wrong With Mary
Ellen Was That, as a Pitcher,
She Lacked Control.

Eour-year-old Mary Ellen dearly
loves to play with her seven-year-old
brother and his little friends. To
make herself what he labels a "good
fellow" she initiates all their traits
Row she Is permitted to 60 with them
Sutside and play outside games.
And recently they have begun to
play ball. Mary Ellen's part in this
has been for the most part chasing
stray balls. But in her heart she
aspires to be pitcher. And the 9TH
e day when her mother was out in
the yard she exhibited her ability in
that line. Don't you think 1 pitch
good, mother?" she asked. "Why, l
throw out my leg every time throw
the ball-just like the man did out
at the ball park"
And she did, too, every time,
though the ball went wild and landed
quite in the opposite direction from
which it had been aimed.-Exchange.

LOOKED FOR THE SUBSTANCE
Old GentIeman's Subtle Criticism OF
Sermon Had in it a World
Of Meaning.

DR.. W. N. Prottsman was a Meth.
Odist preacher in Missouri for sixty
years and IN his prime was known as
the Henry Ward Beecher of Missouri.
The clergyman used to tell the story
of his first sermon. which was preach.
ed in a backwoods district in the
mountains of Virginia. He had pre-.
pared an elaborate discourse and de-
livered 1t in what he thought was q
mastery way. After the sermon he
asked an old man in the congregation
what he thought of the effort.

man. eve uns up here in this neck

The census taker runs up against
many amusing experiences. Chief
among these are the explanations
some people offer for the various an
swers they make to questions put to
them.
One of the census workers in Kan

could read. She answered rather hest
tatingly that she could not, and then

promptly. Use combination treatments
as often as necessary, keeping in mind
the influence of weather conditions az
we'll as the life history of the insect
or fungus causing the disease.
! Neighborhood Should Cooperate.
Use insecticides and fungicides in
the proper diluti0n TO accomplish the
object without injuring the plants.
+! Standard remedies are best. Test 9TH
ers experimentally before using them
on a large scale.
Use the best sprayers. A thorough
application is necessary for the best
| results. Adjust the sprayer so that
oil parts Of the plant that are exposed
to the air will be covered.
Work for cooperation in the neigh
bOrhood. One badly infected or in
tested garden may be the source OF
disease infection or insect infestation
for several nearby gardens. Keep
your own garden clean and it will be

bors and will have tendency to help

For garden insects there are several

the insects from escaping, and the
| kerosene, being on the surface, kills
the insects with which it comes in
contact. Collecting nests are valuable
for some pests; for example, the tar
niShed plant bug. Brushing by differ
ent means is used to a considerable
extent and consists in beating or brush
ing insects from the plants with pine
boughs or similar brush. This method
has proved Of great value in combating
the pea aphiS. Covering with cloth is

Trapping by different methods with
old boards is useful for squash bugs
and cutWorms. Poisoned bats may
be placed under such traps. Flowing,
disling, and narrowing all can be done
by hand and are of considerable Serv-
ice.
Spraying Methods.
To be successful in the control OF
insects and diseases, spraying must be
done promptly and thoroughly. Spray
ing with bordeaux mixture should be
done before rains rather than after,
provided the spray has time to dry
on the leaves. Intervals between spray
ing should depend ON the weather.
If 1t is rainy or muggy, with fogs or
heavy dews, spray frequently to keep
the foliage protected at all times. If
dry. a longer time may be allowed.
The ideal spray is fine mist, and
the best work is done when the plant
is throughly and evenly covered with
fine drops. Stop spraying before the
foliage is drenched.
The higher the pressure, the better
the spray.
Clean all sprayers each time after
using.
For delicate foliage. spray after this
gets under shade. Hot sunlight is dam
gerous with many sprays. such as kero-
Sene emulsion.

FOURTH OF MARRIAGES
FAILURES IN MONTANA
Butte Leads In Marriages and Also

Helena.-Silver Bow county leads in

county take all honors in Montana for
being the most loving city and county
in the state and also for splitting up
family relations on greater scale and
with greater speed than any other To-
cality.
Records of the work of tie divorce
mill as compared with the effort of
the clergy, justices of the peace and
the marriage license clerks of Mon
tana have been compiled in the office
of w. J. Swindlehurst, commissioner
of labor and industry.
In 1919 there were 6,501 marriages
and 1,72S divorces in Montana, a per-
centage of 261a of the marriages being
failures. This is an increase In di-
vorces Of two per cent over 1918, when
there We're COOS marriages and 1,496
divorces throughout the state.
In Butte there were 1,054 marriages
in 1919 and 1,016 in 1918. Divorces
totalled 800 in 1919 and 367 in 1918.
