The MOSQUITO
IS DEADLY
Disease Carrying Insects Every
where a Danger

Mosquitoes have always been with
us but their true character has only
been recognized a short time. They
are carriers of Malaria germs and
other deadly diseases. Dr. Carroll, a
government Investigator in Cuba, says
Natural yellow fever is transmitted
by the mosquito and always and only
by the mosquito"
The mosquito bite is often as dead
ly as a rattlesnake's.
By every method known to man
kind both the national and local
health services are trying to extermi-
nate the mosquito. But this will
never be.
We must protect ourselves against
this pest, by proper screening and the
use of TORMENT. TORMENT is a
gaseous vapor in which no mosquito
or fly can live. 1t is death to in
sects.
Torment is sold by druggists, gen.
eral stores and dealers everywhere.
Manufactured by G. B. Williams
Company, Quitman, Ca, exclusively.

sooner or later. J
Ann had already put into operation
her advanced notions about the con-
duct of a bride. She had entered
upon her married life quite unham
pered by any "old" traditions. She
carried into wifehood all the free
dom of her girlhood in. truly mod
ern' ways. She rode, lunched, walk
ed, danced, smoked and fiirted with
the handiest man at every party.
The fact was painfully impressed

girl who motors, smokes and plays
golf-only when there are men to
play with.
If one didn't know that she was
married, one would have thought she
was out for the conquests a marriage

And Jim was not supposed to be
jealous at all!

factors cannot function properly where humus is lacking. A field that has been planted to berries for a number of years should be plowed up and planted to COW peas. After at taining a good growth the peas should be turned under and planted to corn and COW peas next spring. Then Ii 1 the corn stalks and COW peas are turned under in the fall and light dressing of manure phosphoric acid added, the field is again ready for berries and will produce just as good crops as it ever did.
 Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers will give good results for berries. Barnyard manure should be applied before or at the time the plants are set, where old land IS em- ployed, but is usually not needed on new land. In using fertilizers, they should be applied and worked into the soil before the berries are set and light application made as soon as the fruit is harvested each season. Nitrate of soda should be used spar ingly. Acid phosphate has given bet ter results when used alone, than any other fertilizer. Too much nitrogen in any form is injurious on account of the vigorous foliage growth which follows.
 A good fertilizer to use before the plants are set is an 8-3-2 mixture applied at the rate of 500 to 800 To per acre or use a fertilizer contain ing about 24 pounds of ammonia, GA pounds of phosphoric acid and l6 pounds of potash per acre. This can be secured by using 400 pounds of acid phosphat, $50 pounds of cotton seed meal and 32 pounds of potassium sulfate or $50 or 400 pounds of un- 1 leached wood ashes. In applying l fertilizer to growing plants care must be taken to keep wood ashes, potassium sulfate and nitrate of soda off the plants or from coming in 1 close contact with the roots. Acid phosphate, bone meal, dried blood oI cotton seed meal may be sprinkled close to or on the plants without i burning.
 If the season is di'y it should not be used nor should potassium sulfate be used Wehn the summer season is dry better results will be had by de ferring the application of fertilizers until the soil becomes moist. Where applied in the summer the same com plete fertilizer may be used which is recommended for plants when first set. When fertilizer is not applied

FEEDING STRAWBERRY PLANTS
 NECESSARY TO SUCCESS

There is no reason why the straw berry production of Arkansas shoulC decline because climate and soil con
 ditions are such that a wonderful crop can be grown, says J. k. Coop. CT. horticulturist of the University of Arkansas.
 The idea that ground once planted to berries will not grow berries again is eronous according to MT. Cooper. This idea is prevalent because the growers have failed to feed their strawberry patch with the result that all the humus and much of the nitro gen is allowed to be lost from the soil with no attempt to put 1t back.
 It is imperative that berry grow CTS establish and maintain per manent soil fertility program. The type of soil for berries is of much less importance than the humus con tent of the soil. Nearly any kind of soil will grow good berries if it con- tains plenty of humus. Still better yields may be expected where judi cious addition of fertilizers is made us cannot do everything but other

Iv best to use only bone meal or acld phosphate and dried blood or cot ton seed meal.
 Cultivation during the first sea, ca, son and after harvest thereafter Will % a long way toward insuring a crop and keeping the rows full ot plants for several years. Many a berry field suffers great deal more from lack of cultivation than from lack of fertilizers.
 Mulching, although not needed to prevent winter injury as it IS in the north, will afford considerable pro- tection from drouth and will insure cleaner berries Drought often cuts the yield down a great deal by short ening the berry season. A good mulch will prolong the picking sea son several days. It has often made difference of fifty crates to the acre in yield.
 It is often impracticable to mulch or to give intensive cultivation on large areas but when we find men who employ these methods on small areas making greater net returns than the larger fields are affording, we cannot but question the business judgment of the man who plants more than he can properly care for.
