PESTS THREATEN
GARDEN SUCCESS
Specialists Advise Use of All Pre-
ventive Measures Possible
as Best Plan.
HAVE SOIL DEEPLY PLOWED
Rotation Of Crops Has Been Found by
Many Farmers to Be Excellent
Means of Controlling Disease
and Harmful Insects.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
From the time the seeds are planted
until the crop is harvested q series OF
insect enemies aud 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, it will be
better to make 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
a vigorous growing garden will pro.
duce a 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 q remedy acta
as an insurance against loss.
Watch constantly for the first ap.
pearance of disease or insect. In
spect the garden at least every other
day. Determine what is causing in
jury and apply the proper treatment

THINGS TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR CAR
Watch Your Generator and Stor-
age Battery Carefully Dur
ing Season Changes.
PROPER RATE FOR CHARGING
Great Care Must Be Exer Used In Put.
ting Right Amount of Current
Through Battery to ,store En-.
ergy Contained in Cells.

Due TO the change of seasons from
the cold weather conditions TO warm
er 1t is well to see that the generator
that may have been boosted to take
care of the cranking conditions should
be changed 10 take care of the crank
ing conditions brought about by warm
weather. 1t Is not necessary TO have
as much current flowing into a storage
battery during the warmer weather
as II Is during the cold, because of
the fact that the oil is not as heavy
and the engine is not so hard TO crank,
says a writer in an exchange. The
gasoline is easier vaporized and the
ignition has more voltage, due to the
fact that the battery can exert Its
full energy.
Change In Charging Rate.
The reason that we advise a change
I'm charging rates at this season of
the year is because of the fact that
great many batteries that have been
used abnormally Mt this season of the
year and during the cold weather have
been worked TO their limit; in other
words they have been almost entirely
exhausted and to start recharging
these batteries. even while on the car,
at high rate will cause a rapid
deterioration of the plates and also is
liable TO cause great deal of trouble
from armatures becoming overheated
and burning up, also the regulator or
cutout on the machine becoming over
heated and causing it to burn out. The
charging rate considered which is
proper for generators of certain types
is between 10 and 10 amperes and 1t
is not advisable to carry the charging
rate higher than this because of the
reflex action that this has on the gen.
orator and battery and regulating
apparatus. 1t is always good to take
into consideration that the lower
charging rate Is the better for bat
terry that has been worked hard than
to start a rapid charging rate.
Bring Back Gradually.
There is a very similar condition
existing between the charging of a
storage battery and the case of a sick
man. When the patient is on the road
TO recovery, the physician always adj
vises that the food be carefully Sc
iected and the patient gradually be
brought back to his full strength. The
same applies to storage battery.
Great care must be taken with the
proper amount of current put through
the battery to restore the energy con-
tained in the cells. 1t is also advis-
able at this time of the year before
going into summer driving to have the
voltage and gravity tests taken
periodically so that the battery's re-
cuperation will be brought back to a
normal state without causing undue
danger.

REMOVING CAPS FROM HUBS
died by Use Of Jack and Long
Handled Wrench.

Hub caps won't always come Off
merely by wrench persuasion. even
when considerable manual effort Is
also used, says Motor Life. If the
cap Is so tight that you cannot bulge
IT by your own efforts, bring the jack
into the matter. Use a fairly long
handled wrench. and place the jack
under the end Of the handle. A few
strokes of the jack will get the best
of the stubbornest hub cap.

More than 100000 horses

For garden insects there are several
