MARTHA JANE A DIPLOMAT
Even Stern Mamma Couldn't Deny
She Had Obeyed the Strict
Letter of the Law.

Martha James sweet tooth had been
INDUCED so much that her mother had
issued the decree, mo more candy
and the raminder of the box hao
been relegated to the top shelf. A
few days ago it was brought down and
judiciously apportioned TO Martha
Jane. for whom a taste spelled more.
and even a second taste did not sat
isfy. When her mother saw her about
to take a third helping she remarked,
enphatically:
Now. don't let me see you take an.
other piece"
Presently Mrs. $ was called
from the room. and when she returned
she found her four-year-old daughter
In the farthest corner of the couch.

SLANG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE
idiom of Today in Correct Usage To-
morrow, Declares University Pro-
fessor Of English.

That the slang and idioms of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion of Prof. III. Glicksman OF
the English department. University Of
Wisconsin.
"Our language is made up of what
was once slang, idiom, colloquialism.
and jargOn," he said lately, and
warned that the most deplorable fea-
ture about slang was its tendency to
produce mental slovenliness.
Professor Glicksman then referred
to the word mob" as slang of 200
years ago and as such denounced in
the Spectator by Addison.
1T is an abbreviation Of the word
mobile Even so the. word pep is
vital and virile and Will survive with
the word 'snappy.' But to gain recog-
milton slang must be free from vul-
garity and cheapness." said Professor
Glicksman.
"The term How do you get that
wayY is condemned because 1t Ia
but the term he has a
pull Is approved as 1t Is the opposite
Of push word that has forged

CLOSE STUDENTS OF NATURE
Examination Papers Proved That Pu-

A nature study and biology teacher
sent the Nature Study Review the
following from her pupils papers. re-

sions In the domain of nature:

something the matter with your or

ually exceedingly small. The disease
producing forms live on. or in our
vegetables and fruits. feeding on them
and causing the various bIights, 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 q plant or fruit. and start
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-
tons, 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. sawfiies, 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 thousand-legged "worms."
Insects are classified into (1) chew
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. It
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 chalcis flies
(minute, wasplike insects). ground
beetles, soldier bugs, surplus flies.

which usually must De planted on the
same ground year after year.
Some of the worst garden 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 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-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
plants: plant-lice carry the cucumber
mosaic. the potato fiea-beetle, the bac-
terial wilt. and various other insects
occasionally carry spores from dis
eased to healthy plants.
Avoid Woundinu 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 be stored. handle
with the greatest care to avoid bruis-
ing. as decay most frequently begins
wb re 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 harbor 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 and insects and
also increase the fertility of the soil.
This principle applies TO the home gar

den, where. If possible, 1t will be bet
ter 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.
