away, seem to have become diseased or the ants have seriously injured. The plants now are literally alive with small ants. What would you advise to do? Mrs. M.
 A. The ants are undoubtedly after some insect or lice that must be in- fecting the coleus because the ants do not attack foliage. Spray the plants with strong soapy water and if you will add teaspoonful nicotine sulphate to the gallon of mixture better results will prevail Sulpho- tobacco soap would be good. 0. At what stage of bloom do you cut the old-fashioned stray flower to dry for winter bouquets? Mrs. D., Fairfield.
 A. The proper time to cut is the period when the flower is fully de- veloped and all the colors seem well set and distinct. Those too old or seem to be deteriorating should be avoided.
 Q. My fall Irish potatoes have something the matter with the foli- age. Brown spots appear on the leaves and spread rapidly and soon the entire plant becomes involved. On the under side of the leaves there ap-

 nize this and what should be done ?
 G. C.. Cullman.
 A. Your description would indi- cate serious disease variously known as rot. late blight and downy
 mildew. This is undoubtedly the trouble that becauses the rottening of tubers in fall crops. If tn trouble is not checked promptly, the crop, if any develops at all. will very soon rot. An effective remedy is two ounces dry Bordeaux powder to the gallon of water. This Is rather a strong mixture and one-half this strength might do if infection has not progressed too far. If any potato bugs are troubling. tablespoonful arsenate of lead to the gallon mix ture would be helpful. Spray should be repeated at 10 to 15 day inter- vals until trouble disappears. Q. Would pinching out some of the buds on dahlia plants this late aid in producing larger blooms? Mrs, R. S., R. F. D. 6.
 A. It is getting rather late to disbud or prune. but 1t will induce larger flowers in the remainine buds. Pinch or cut out the weakest growth.
