CONTROL OF GARDEN INSECTS
Spraying With Solution Of Arsenatt
Of Lead Is Effective for Potato
Bugs or Beetles.

Spraying with arsenate of lead will
control potato bugs or beetles. This
poison solution is made of one pound
Of arsenate of lead to ten gallons of
water with little laundry soap added
to make the solution stick to the
leaves. Cucumber, muskmelon and
squash beetles may be controlled by
busting the plants with air-slacked
lime mixed with lead arsenate powder
When plants of any kind are attacked
by lice Black Leaf 40 is generally
used. Arsenate of lead and Black
Leaf 40 can be purchased at any drug
store and they are usually acc0mpa-
MED by directions for their use. Con
troll Of vegetable insects and diseases
depends much on prompt action as
soon as their presence is noticed
Spraying and other methods are nee
essary some time or other every year.

Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on fabrication.
Two-thirds of the doctors in the
United States own motorcarS.
Do not allow the engine to race
or to run when the car is standing.
The horn for a mOtOrcar was Of
feFed as the first free accessory 10
years ago.
When it is absolutely necessary to
run on a fiat tire, keep the tire in soft
dirt if possible
Running the engine while the car is
standing causes a daily waste of $1,000
gallons of gasoline
About the only satisfactory material
for packing a gasoline connection is
hemp string and soap.
One of the common troubles en-
countered in the brake assembly is a
tendency to gathering.

The timely repair of even the most
insignificant tread cut prevents sand

The addition of a little pure fake
graphite to the Iuhricatlug oil is a
help to motors that have seen some
wear.
1t is estimated by experts that there
is a waste from leaking carburetors
alone of more than $4,000 gallons per
day in this country.
Many car owners employ a paste
made of fake graphite and linseed oil
to rub on the inner surface of the RIM,
before the casing is put in place.
The tire chains should be adjusted
so that they fit Snugly, which means
that they have freedom enough to

Poland China pig for which he paid
$3.50. This pig was fed and shown
at the Idaho state fair at Boise this
year. There it won first prize for the
champion pig over all club contestants
in the state, which entitled him to the
$175 free trip to the international
Live Stock Show. 1t next won the
award of first place in the open class
for Poland China s0ws under six
months of age, in which competition
he defeated the swine breeders Of the
whole state Of Idaho.
William Stuart's father is not a
breeder Of purebred hogs, but simply
raises a good grade of Poland China
pigs for the market Therefore this
accomplishment by William in the
feeding and developing of this prize
pig represents what club work is do
ing all over the country.
The fact that banks throughout the
country are taking an interest in this
work speaks well for the good which
it is accomplishing.
William Is one of thirty boys from

OATS NEED MORE ATTENTION
Crop Ranks Next to Corn and Wheat

Are Unsatisfactory.

Oats rank next to corn and wheat
in crop acreage and value in the Unit

less attention has been given to the
production of oats than 70 any other
important grain, so that yields often
have been unsatisfactory and the crop
sometimes Improbable, say special

Must Be Marked Plainly to
Comply With Law.
SHIPPERS DISREGARD RULES
Every Opportunity Has Been Given
to Trade to Get in Line With Pro-
visions of observation-disclosures
Shipments Are Exempt.

Fruits and vegetables in package
form, when shipped into interstate
commerce, should bear a plain and
conspicuous statement of the quantity
Of the contents in each package, ac-
cOrding to statement made by Off
Gals Of the bureau of chemistry, Uni
ted States department Of agriculture,
who are charged with the enforcement
of the federal food and drugs act. In
StruCtiOnS have been issued showing
how various fruits and vegetables in
different styles of packages may be
marked in order to comply fully with
the net weight amendment to the law,
and also showing what shipments Of
vegetables as ordinarily marketed are
exempt from the net weight provisions.
These Instructions have been distribute
ed widely among fruit and vegetable
growers and shippers.
The bulk of the fruits and yegeta-
bleS now shipped into interstate com
merce are marked in accordance with
the law, say officials, but some ship
perS have overlooked or are disregard
ing this provision of the law. Since
this amendment has been in effect for
six years and every opportunity has
been given to the trade to get inAline
with its provisions it is the opinion of
the officials that there is now no ex-
cuse for any shipper failing to mark
the quantity of the contents on pack
ages of fruits and vegetables shipped
within the Jurisdiction of the law.
How to Mark Packages.

hampers, drums, cartons, boxes, crates

PLAN TO REMEDY
IGNITION PARTS
Expert Discusses This important
Section of MOtOrCar'S Nerv-
GUS System.
EXAMINE ALL CONNECTIONS
Make Sure That All Wires Are Tight
and That Insulation Is Not Worn
Off at Any Spot, Thus caus-
ing Short Circuit.

The best way to locate any cleo
trical trouble Is to begin at one end
of the ignition system and make q
series of tests in regular order. Be
gin first with the spark plugs under
suspicion, writes w. H. Stewart, Jr.,
president Of the Stewart Automobile
school, in an exchange.
Moisture on the exposed part Of the
porcelain will often cause the engine
to mlshre, but this trouble on a wet
day may be obyiated by greasing the
porcelain with vaseline. Including de-
feCtlve porcelain, other frequent
causes of spark plug trouble may be
traced to oil or particles Of carbon col
Letting between the points and soOting
Of the porcelain points out of adjust
ment or burned away. Ordinarily the
spark plug should be adjusted to about
the thickness of an old worn dime, de-
pendent upon the ignition system, car
bureter adjustment and design Of the
engine.
Look at Distributor Case.
When you have eliminated the spark
plug, examine all wiring and terminal
connections, making sure that all wires
are tight and that the insulation isn't
worn off at any place, thus causing
short circuits. Next open the dis
tributOr case and see If there is any
dirt or carbon dust. If the trouble
Is here 1t can be eliminated by wiping
with clean rag But if 1t is yet
undiscovered then perhaps the misfir-
Ing Is caused by the contact points be-
Ing pitted. These should be cleaned
and adjusted very accurately accord
ing to Instructions Of the manufacture
er. Also make sure that the tappet
spring has not weakened or been
broken. Remember that this spring
is under constant strain and it will
bear watching.
Cause Of Serious Missing.
Moisture or grease on the surface
Of the distributor housing will some
times cause very serious current
Skips across the surface of this for
eign matter instead of going through
Its regular channels. The remedy is
10 wipe off the surface. The presence
Of moisture may be explained by the
tact that it is drawn in with the air
through the radiator or may condense
On the surface on a damp day The
crease often collects from the oil spray
thrown out by the engine.

assembIage and It is up to you to
Keep your eye constantly upon it. Lit
ue attentions like these give you a
smooth running engine and help you
