terfar Wilt, ana various orner insects
occasionally carry spores from dis
eased to healthy plants.
Avoid Wounding Plants.
In cultivating or working around
plants, avoid wounding or breaking
them. In pruning make clean, close
cut. In harvesting fruits and vege-
tables that are to he 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

which usually must be planted on the
same ground year after year.
Some of the worst gard, troubles
are 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 ip-acts. 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
caulifower plants should be inspected
for clubroot and sweet potato plants
for black-rot. 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

Gardeners should learn to know the
insects which are useful in destroying

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, ichneum0n and chalcis flies
(minute, wasplike insects), ground
beetles, soldier bugs, syrphus 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 q
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,

the garden and burned. Weeds in the
garden and around it harbor both in
sects and diseases, particularly II 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.

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 IL the soil is not
suited to them. It may be too rich or
too poor or too heavy or too light, or
1t may contain too much or to little
water. It may lack lime and humus.
Some vegetables, such as spinach and
cauliflower, 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 sickly,
yellow growth. Fertilizers in excess
or used carelessly may burn the leaves,
Injure the roots, or prevent seed from
terminating.
It always is important to have the
soil deeply >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
