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, it 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-
LIKING 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 t"
get into action with balmy weather
By burning the refuse a great quantity
of them will be destroyed.

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-heshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses eX.
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute q 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.

FINEST QUALITY
PEAS WIN FAVOR
Intermediate Variety Bear Better
When Given Support Of Low
Brush or Wire.
LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR
Best Plan to Depend on Succession
Planting a Week or Ten Days Apart
Rotation Is Also Of Much
Importance.

The very finest quality peas at the
present time are neither, strictly
speaking, dwarfs, nor are they tail.
They are intermediate and while they
may be grown as dwarfs and without
brushing, they bear better when given
the support of low brush or narrow
strip of chicken wire. These are the
Gradus and LaXron types OF pea,
which vary from 80 inches to almost
four feet, according to variety. All
do better with support, although COM
monty grown as dWarfs. They give a
heavier yield when held upright.
WrinkIed Type Superior.

Killed. type, which Is much superior to
the earliest smooth-seeded type, Lit

peas. still remain the earliest of all,
of good quality if taken very young,
but not equal to the wrinkled varl-
etics which are not so hardy and can
not be planted or cropped SO early.
1t is possible with the variety of
peas now on the market to plan a
good succession planting, starting with
Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel, Grad
US, Laxtonian and Thomas Laxton.
However, it is better to depend up
on a successonal planting a week or
ten days apart, as the season may be
such as to bring the cropping of diff
ferent peas too close together at ma
turity, if planted at the same time.
The planting of peas in double rows,
six inches apart, these double rows to
be three feet apart, is about right for
the more dwarf varieties, but II the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are
given brush or wire.
The round seeded peas can 60 into
the ground as soon as IT can be dug,
but it Is best to wait a week or two
for the wrinkled varieties to be on
the safe side.
Rotation Is Necessary.
The peas should not be planted this
year in the same position that they
occupied last year. Neither should

Camera Built on Eyes Plan,

The camera is nothing more or less
than a huge model Of the eye. Lighl
passing through the lens Of the eve
Is focused on the retina, which cor.
responds exactly to the ground glass
screen or the plate Of the camera.
Though the retina's chief use Is to
send an impression to the brain, 1t Is
capable Of retaining an image for some
time. Light has the same effect on It
as on a Photographic plate. To test
the truth Of this you have only to look
for a moment at some brightly illuml.
mated object, and then to cast the eyes
up to the white ceiling; you will find
that you see the image Of the object
for q long time.

y The chief defects, or places where

PREPARING POTATO SEED BED
Select Best Piece Of Land and Put It
in Good Shape-Clover Sod
Is Excellent.

It pays to have the potato ground
in good shape. Select the best piece
of ground you have. You are putting
more money into the seed than for
any other farm crop and probably
more into the cultivation too, and so
you should have the best land. Clover
sod makes the hest potato ground. Old
blue grass sod is all right if plowed
deep enough and worked up in good
shape. Timothy SD is not good. Avoid
fresh manure; 1t produces scab.

been for years.
The situation gradually is becoming
more grave, the committee found, and
its elimination when the famine
reaches its crisis, probably in April
was predicted.
The threat of disease to EaStem|
Europe was said ito be due to ths|
tremendous waves Of immigration
caused, first, by the flight Of peasants
from the famine stricken areas toward
districts where food production is pos
sible, and second, mass repatriation

the Russian frontier no less than $780,.
900 caravans are concentrated, SONS
of them having been on the march for
four or five months. Through one
quarantine station, Baranowicze,
3O1,2S7 refugees passed between
March and December, 1921.
The greatly increased repatriation
was said to have resulted in break
in the Polish sanitary Gordon, with
the result that typhus has spread fur

reaching Lithunia and East Prussia

to have spread into the most fertile
districts OF the Ukraine, to which
tens of thousands Of refugees from
the northern provinces had fled in
the hope Of finding food and shelter
The Polish government, in an eff
fort to meet these difficulties, has
named former prime minister al

while the city of Warsaw has ap
pointed an extraordinary epidemic
