that If those desiring plants would

original plants and by cutting OIL
all the runners as soon as they had
taken root enough to stand trans
planting, they soon had q large tract
set to the plants. These they cult
vate to protect the original plants
and prevent their weakening by
being swamped in mat of new
plants arising from the runners. BY
reason of this kind of culture the old
plants grow larger and more vigor-
Gus as time goes on, tho we cannot
say how long 1t will continue. Most
of the old plants and root systems
are from ten to fifteen inches across,
and they bloom all thru the season
unless interrupted by frost. There
was a cold wave about the first Of
last July and 1t froze the bloom and
thus interrupted the production OF
berries for the time that it took new
bloom to form and set berries. The
green berries went on ripening not
withstanding the frost, so there was
only short interruption Of berry
picking, about ten or fifteen days we
believe.
When Supt. Vincent was having an
exhibit packed to bring to the fair at
Blackfoot, he had one of these large
plants packed for exhibit, and it was

ton bureau, but only comparatively
few people could be shown it since

appearance in vast numbers in gar

dener's best efforts and lay. waste the

son for insects and there are no laws
which limit the number which may be

urge the use Of the spray pump and

ton Of poisons in order to destroy
the pests before they destroy the gar

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 few days these
hatch into little red, soft-shelled slugs
or "soft-shells," as they are often
called, that have most wonderful ap-
petities, 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 insidious 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. A 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 a few days there will be
another generation or brood at work.
