ment OF Agricultural
Gardeners are warned by specialists
OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture TO prepare to combat the
little enemies of the garden" In
sects of various kinds are making their
appearance in vast numbers in gar
dens in all parts of the country, and II
left undisturbed will defeat the gar
dener's best efforts and lay waste the
vegetable crops. This is the open sea-
son for insects and there are no laws
which limit the number which may be
killed. The department specialists
urge the use of the spray pump and
busting bag for the frequent appllca-
ton of polsons in order to destroy
the pests before they destroy the gar
den. Early efforts in fighting insects
are most effective.
Little Bugs With Big Appetites.
In most localities the Colorado or
"hard-shell' potato beetles are indus
triously depositing clusters of small
yellowish eggs on the underside of the
potato leaves. In a few days these
Latch into little red, soft-shelled slugs
or "soft-shells," as they are often
called, that have most wonderful ap-
petitles. and unless pOisons are ap-
piled they Will soon strip the potato
plants of their leaves.
Perhaps there is no class Of garden
insects the method of attack of which
Is so insldious as that of the plant
lice or aphids.
At first very few lice may be found
hidden on the under side of the leaves
Of melons, peas, cabbage, and other
vegetables. little later the leaves be-
gin to curl up and to lose their color.
and an examination will show that
the ''lice" which the ants carried out
have became grandmothers, and the
under side of the leaves will be lit
orally alive with them, feasting on the
Juices of the plants. At this stage
something must be done quickly. for
within few days there will be
another generation or brood at work.

plants but which will kill the lice"
The most common of these contact
polsons is nicotine sulphate-a tobac-
co extract-made OF tobacco refuse
from factories. This is poison and,
TO be effective in killing the ''lice"
without injuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
tions given on the container. United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin $50. on the control
of garden diseases and insects, has
the following to say regarding the use
of nicotine sulphate:
For small garden plats one tea
spoonful of nicotine sulphate should
be used to one gallon of water to
which one-inch cube of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed.
If larger quantity is desired, use one
fluid ounce to eight gallons of water,
with the addition of one-half pound of
s"ap. Full directions are given on the
covers Of packages. and Instructions
accompany them.
Effective Application OF Spray.
I'm the use of nicotine sulphate the
efectve application of the spray Is of
the utmost Importance. since IL Is pri-
marily upon this that the success or
failure OF the treatment depends. IL
the liquid has stood for any length of
time it should be agitated thoroughly
before use. The insects themselves
must receive a thorough coat of the
spray or they will not be killed and
Immediate inspection after spraying
shoud show the foliage occupied by
the insects to 'e completely wet.
Spraying shoLld be done as early
as possible, always on the first appear
ance of the insect. not only because
1t is good practice to keep the plants
free from pests but because more thor

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the Internal surface
to the air which always contains mi.
cro-organisms. and thus may hasten
decomposition; but 1t should be re-
membered also that the viscera decom.
pose more rapidly than other parts of
the body, and If left they may taint
or infect the rest of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, it
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which, not only the viscera, but
also the heads and feet, have been re
moved.

To make a bridge between the two

been the work OF number of years
on the part of the department experts.
1t was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch in the
South, and afterwards to induce north.
ern farmers to substitute il to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted in the market,
and also because, where sale was ef-
fected, farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock, reserving no seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers association was enlisted.
and last year 500 acres We're grown
under guarantee, large portion of
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon farmers will receive 14h cents

should give them from $3.50 to 5000
per acre In addition to the straw From
now on 1t is expected sufficient seed

preston upon my mind, not to be eff
faced. Everything was against her
the saloon in which she waited alone !;
her coming there secretly in the night !;
the meeting with an unknown man /;
the accompanying him up that black
alley to this hidden rendezvous of con-
spiracy. Every act stamped her as un-
worthy.
In spite OF all this evidence as to the
truth of the matter, nothing harmo-
nized. She did not beiong-the gulf
was too wide. Yet there was no other
explanation possible-she was actually

Chilean revolutionary junta, bringing
with her direct from Washington those
final instructions for which they wait

government all this that could be COM
passed by the expenditure of million
dollars in ruthless hands. 1t was un-
thinkable, yet every evidence proved il
true.
There came to me an insane desire
to overhear what she had to say; to
watch her once more, when free TO
study her unnoticed, and to see this
gang to whom she brought her mes
sage. Almost without realizing my ac-
tion l crept in the dark out into the
narrow passage, and felt my way
along the rough board walls. AS ad-
vanced cautiously the full ingenuity
with which the place had been pre-
pared for just this foul purpose be-
came more apparent. The narrow
passage l followed, my hands touching
either wall, was not straight, but
curved to. the right, and 1t dawned
upon me that 1t skirted the main apart

conference was being held This ac-
counted for the fact that no CLEAN of
light was visible, and that, in anticipa-

Something had occurred to delay ac-

to permit any Of his well-known junta

BUILDS WEEVIL-PROOF CRIB
Southern Farmer Demonstrates How
Log Building Can Be Made Secure
Against Insects.

The county agent Of Taylor county,
Fla, reports that one farmer In his
community has worked out way by
which log corn crib can be made
practically air-tight to guard the corn
against weevils. This farmer put
three or four inches of dirt on the
floor and covered 1t with another floor.
The walls were covered with rough
lumber, and the cracks outside were
filled with clay. The door facIngs
were padded with cloth and the door
made of two layers of cypress lumber,
with piece of paper roofing between.
This arrangement cost about $40, In
addition to the farmers labor. Others
in this neighborhood are building
cribs In the same way.
