DESTROY LAST YEARS PESTS
Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalks
and Burn Them--Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer.

In getting ready to make garden this
spring, II is an excellent plan to see
that all the stalks of last years vege-
tables which may have been left stand
Ing are removed and burned.
In the first place the ashes will make
good fertilizer as the stems of nearly
all vegetables contain excellent ferti-
llzing material In their ash, and an
even more important consideration is
that by removing and destroying them
the insect pests are likely to be
checked.
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter. Often the spores
Of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only waiting In these old stems to
get Into action with balmy weather.
BY burning the refuse great quantity
Of them will be destroyed.

SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING
Lime Sulphur and Scalecide Must Be
Applied II Orchard Trees
Are to Be Saved.

During the last two or three years
a good many people In the North with
home orchards have believed that the
San Jose scale was becoming extinct.
As matter Of fact the sleet which
persisted SO long on the trees the win
ter of four years ago suffocated the
scale tast as does the. llme-sulphur
spray wnen applied. After that win
ter, many old trees revived and have
grown well since then. Now the scale
is catching up again and, unless we
have another such sleet, lime-sulphur
and scalecide will have to be put on
II the trees are to be saved. A stlll
day is an Ideal time to spray with
iIme-sulphur because II Is easier to
reach all parts OF the tree when there
Is no wind.

ing. When any of these samples are
found to contain stock beet seed, the
senders will be notified before plant
ing time.
Similar tests made In the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location of mixtures con-
tanning stock beets of red, or orange
colored varieties. It has been found
that white-feshed varieties Of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
dlscernible. That the heavy losses ex-
perlenced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute strong
argument for the development Of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed, sufficient for the needs Of our
beet Industry, Is the belief OF the
officials working on the problem.
