CONTROL OF SOIL DISEASES
Next to Seed Treatment Rotation ls
Best Way to Destroy Wilt and
Rot Spores,

With the possible exception of seed
treatment, there Is no farm practice,
which, from the plant disease point Of
view, gives greater returns on the in
vestment than crop rotation, is the
assertion of Prof. j. G. Leach of the
Colorado Agricultural college. There
are great many plant diseases such
as willis and root rots for which no
specific remedy is known and which
can be held in check only by the com.
bined practices of seed selection, seed
treatment, and crop rotation. These
diseases become worse and worse each
year the crop is grown In the same
soil. and each one taking their annual
toll accounts for considerable loss to
the farmer.
A system of crop rotation entails al.
most no expense other than a little
forethought and planning. The re.
turns in disease-free crops pay for
this trouble many times over, not to
speak of the added gain in soil fer
tility.

ARSENICALS FOR
KILLING WORMS
Annual Loss From Cabbage Pest
COnservatively Estimated
at S1,300,0O0.
NOT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL
Arsenate Of Lead and Paris Green Are
Preferable to Other Poisons--
Number Of spraylnos Depends
on Conditions.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agricuiture)
Arsenlcals are being generally used
to control the cabbage worm. There
are now few instances Of the total de
struction of crops of cabbages as was
formerly often the case. Neverthe-
less, a conservative estimate would
place the present annual loss from this
pest to cabbage alone-not including
cauliaower and other related crops
at S1.3000OO, or one-tenth the value
Of the entire crop.
The cabbage worm is not difficult
TO control, and 1t should be borne in
mind that most other cabbage pests,
more often present than not, will be
controlled by the same methods.
Poisons Preferred.
Repeated experiments have shown
that arsenate of lead and paris green
are preferable to other arsenicals in
common use. If paris green is used,
II may be applied either wet or dry,
preferably, however, as a spray, at the
rate of one pound to so gallons Of wa
ter The plants should be free from
insect attack when they are set out
and should be sprayed a few days later
TO make sure that the poison reaches
the young caterpillars before they have
burrowed far into the heads. Other
applications should follow as inspec-
ton of plants shows that they are nee
essary.
These applications of arsenicals can
be made with absolute safety even af-
ter the heads are formed, as the poison
disappears from plants almost COM
pletely within two to three weeks az
ter application, and even earlier in
event Of repeated or heavy rainfall.
Increased Cost
Scarcity Of paris green has increased
the cost. Arsenate of lead has been
rapidly superseding paris green and
other arsenicals as an insecdcide and

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
iected is because kidney trouble is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,

DIG UP OLD RHUBARB STALKS
Divide Roots Into Pieces Of Two or
Three Eyes Each and Start
Entirely New Patch.

After rhubarb has been planted
four or five years the stalks become so
thick that they are too small to sell
well. 1t is then best to dig up the
roots and divide into pieces of two
or three eyes each, which is enough
for one hill, and start a new patch,
Another good way is to dig up all the
hill but a little corner which Is left
undisturbed, then fill the hole from
which the roots were taken with well
rotted manure and cover that with
earth. The piece of root left in the
ground will make a surprising growth
