FIGHT DISEASES
AND WORM PESTS
Trouble Begins in Garden as Soon
as Seeds Are Planted in
Vegetable Garden.
MANY CAUSES OF AILMENTS
Plants Suffer If Soil Is Not Suited

Quite Essential to Prepare

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
From the time the seeds of garden
crops are put into the ground until
the crops are harvested a succession
of diseases and insect enemies may
appear, each of which must be fought
by the methods that experience has
shown TO work best in the particular
case.
Diseases of plants are due TO many
causes. Plants suffer if the soil is not
suited to them. 1t may lie too rich or
too poor or too heavy or too light, or
it may contain too much or to little
water. 1t may lack lime and humus.
Some vegetables, such as spinach and
caulifiower, thrive in cool weather and
do poorly in midsummer, while others,
like tomatoes and Lima beans, are hot
weather plants. Excessive heat pro-
duces whiting or tipburn. Too much
water in the soil keeps the roots from
the air they need and causes a sickly,
yellow growth. Fertilizers in excess
or used carelessIy may burn the leaves,
inju.e the roots, or prevent seed from
terminating.
1t always is important to have the
soil deeply plowed or spaded and
made loose and light with plenty of
well-.'otted 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 1t literally to get a good
stand, but thin out the plants. as over
crowded plants are in much greater
danger of becoming diseased than
those that receive plenty of air and
sunshine.
The diseases which cause most loss
are due to fungi and bacteria. Fungi
and bacteria are plants though u.s.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1920-04-27

ually exceedingly small. The disease
producing forms live on or in our
vegetables and fruits. feeding on them
and causing the various blights, rOts,
and spots of which we complain.
Fungi and bacteria grow and multi
ply rapidly when conditions suit them.
Instead of seeds they form spores,
which are minute bodies produced in
great numbers, to be spread by wind,
water, or other agencies. and, like
seeds, these spores may terminate,
grow into a plant or fruit and start
a new center of disease.
The weather has an important in
fiuence on the development of fungOus
diseases, moisture and warmth being
necessary.
True insects are small creatures
which in the adult stage have rather
hard bodies divided into three por-
tions. head thorax (chest). and abdo-
men (belly). They have a single pair
of antennae or "feelers," normally
three pairs of legs, and usually one
or two pairs of wings. Among in
furious forms of true insects are bee
ties. butterflies. moths, sawflies, ants,
grasshoppers, plant-bugs, thrips and
plant-lice.
Other small creatures in a general
way are popularity classified as in
sects, such as sowbugs, red spiders,
mites, and acknowledged worms"
oIa
ing or biting forms. which devour
leaves and other portions of plants;
and (2) sucking forms, which injure
and destroy plants by sucking the vital
life juices. For the first class, arseni-
Gals are the best remedies; for the
second class contact poisons are used.
Gardeners should learn to know the
insects which are useful in destroying
injurious insects. Prominent among
these is the convergent ladybird. 1t
destroys not only all forms of garden
plant-lice but the eggs of various in
sects. such as the Colorado potato
beetle. Other beneficial insects are
wasps, ichneumon and chaIcis flies
(minute. wasplike insects), ground
beetles. soldier bugs, surplus flies,
tachina flies, and lace-wing flies. But
for the natural enemies OF the potato
beetle. cabbage worms, army worms
and similar pests, all vegetable crops
probably would be failures.
Prevention.
The gardener who starts with a
clean soil may do much to keep in
sects and diseases out. and thus save
the trouble and cost of applying
sprays. Prevention is better than
cure. especially in the home garden,

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

scription, obtained at any drug store. may

Weddinn Superstitions.

The popularity of June for weddings
is due to the pretty omen that Juno
takes an especial interest in marriage
and she protects and blesses all who
are welded IN June. The girl who be-
comes a bride on Christmas day has
nothing to fear. If a widow marries
a second time in the same month in
which she was married before, she will
be widow twice.

which usually must be planted on the
same ground year after year.
Some of the worst garden troubles
ara brought in on the roots of plants
and remain in the soil to attack the
next crop. So in buying plants of any
kind one should be sure that they are
healthy and free from insects. The
roots should be clean and fibrous, not
swollen or knotted. Southern garden
ers in particular should be on the
watch against root-knot. Cabbage and
caulifiower plants should be inspected
for clubroot and sweet potato plants
for black-r0t. irish potatoes should
be treated for scab before planting.
Control Insects That Spread Plant
Diseases.
Many insects not only attack the
crops directly but also carry plant
diseases. Thus, the striped cucum-
bers, squashes, melons and related
plants; plant-lice carry the cucumber
mosaic, the potato fiea-beetle, the bac-
terial wilt. and various other insects
eased to healthy plants.
Avoid Woundine Plants.
In cultivating- or working around
plants. avoid woundipg or breaking
them. In pruning make clean. close
cut. In harvesting fruits and vege-
tables that are to be stored, handle
with the greatest care TO avoid bruis-
ing, as. decay most frequently begins
where the natural protective covering
is broken. Certain insects, such as the
potato tuber moth, also gain access at
such points.
Sanitation.
Neatness, cleanliness, and order in
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases. AS a general
rule, the residue of the garden, such
as cornstalks, potato tops, ETC., are to
be turned under to improve the soil.
DO this promptly, so that insects and
disease spores may not be harbored by
the rubbish. In some cases, which
will be pointed out later. diseased veg
etable remains should be taken out of
the garden and burned. Weeds in the
garden and around it harb0r both In
sects and diseases, particularly if the
weeds are related to the cultivated
plants.
Just as soon as any crop Is gath
cred, spade up the ground, and plant
something else. Except in the extreme
North, rye or oats can be sown to give
winter cover.
Crop Rotation.
Farmers have found that by rotat-
ing their crops they reduce the injury
from plant diseases ami insects and
also increase the fertility of the soil.
This principle applies to the home gar

Mystery of influenza RaeiIIl.

There is more or less mystery about
the bacilll of influenza, but there is a
probable explanation In the theory
that the bacilli is sometimes in the
form of fungus. The perplexity OF
the scientists has probably arisen be-
cause hitherto this has been studied
only as bacillus. While there seems
great probability that this bacillus
is responsible for influenza, no one has
yet been able TO ascertain how It
works, for it has not been possible TO
filter out any virus. Perhaps the ba-
cillus in its bacillus form does not give
out virus, but in its fungus form it
may.
