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-
lizing 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 a great quantity
Of them will be destroyed.

they be placed in ground occupied the
previous seaso by beans for best re-
suits. A gardener should study his
garden plan each year with an eye TO
moving the peas and beans across the
garden, so hat they will not occupy
the same space In succeeding years.
OF course. heavy fertilizing partly
makes up for the ~exhausting OF the
soil, but II cannot wholly do so. These
two vegetables take more out OF the
Soil than the others ana Il Is mor
to see that they rotate.

SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING
Lime Sulphur and ScaIecide 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 a matter Of fact the sleet which
persisted so long on the trees the VIM
ter of four years ago suffocated the
scale just as does the l~ime-sulphur
spray when 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 sieet. ~lime-sulphur
and scalecide will have to be put on
II the trees are to be saved. A stilf
day is an ideal time to spray with
lime-sulphur because II Is easier to
reach all parts Of the tree when there
Is no wind.

colOred varieties. IT has been found
that w~hite-fleshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses ex-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute a strong
argument for the development OF an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed. sufficient for the needs OF u
beet industry, Is the belief of the
officials working on the problem.

New York; 1t shows that the

In the gas Is being developed. A vel
low flame indicates thar a part Of

1t pays TO have the potato ground

That no American Legion man or

Ford's Shoals Bid
 Will Win--Waldo

Florence, November 1.-(Special.)- The acceptance of Henry Fords of- fer for United States nitrate and power projects at Muscle Shoals by Congress within the very near future was predicted by ". c. Waldo, one of the executive officers of the Ten Lessee River Improvement associa- tion, who spent Sunday in Florence.
 Mir. Waldo says that the American Farm Bureau federation is exerting all of it's tremendous influence Tn the west to secure the election of men who are pledged to support the offer of Henry Ford and that in his opin- jon this will have far reaching ef- feet on the complexion of the ne-v Congress. The visitor stated that the situation in Washington was better than at any previous time and that every indication pointed to the prompt acceptance of the Ford offer.
 MT. Waldo is in this section in connection with the drive for funds for this organization, which com menced at Huntsville Monday. Sew eral of the cities and towns in the Tennessee valley have already sub scribed funds for continuing the ac- tivities of the Tennessee River Im- provement association another year.
