Plant Lice

Several kinds of plant lice or APP
hids do injury to garden crops.
These little lice are sucking insects
and are found on The undersides Of
the leaves of many different plants
They collect sometimes at The eni of
twigs or shoots. They feed on the
sap of the plant and often do great
injury by eating the leaves Or weak
ening the plant. Due to their rapid
multiplying it is important 10 prevent
them spreading after they make ap-
pearance. A spray or dust of Mic
otine Sulphate coming in direct CON
tact with the body of the lice has
been found a satisfactory way to kill
them. A poison such as Arsenate of
lead should never be used on them.
m sucking insects must be combat
ted with a contact spary and must
be applied so as to hit their bodies.
A sucking insect breathes through
spiracles or breathing pores usually
on the sides of the body and the act
ion of the nicotine causes a paraly-
sis of the nerves and instant death.
Nicotine Sulphate may be purchased
in both liquid and dust form. Direct
ions are usually furnished by the
dealer, The dust form is rapidly re-
placing the liquid because of its econ
omy effectiveness.

CutWorms

Cutworms are one of The fist pests
that make appearance in The spring.
They hatch from eggs laid in late
summer, reach considerable size and
pass the winter in this stage. They
appear usually in great numbers in
spring and are hungry from their
long fast. They feed by night, rut-
ling the tender plants off at the
ground or eating the leaves. The
best remedy is poison bait, made by
mixing two tablespoonfulls of white
arsenic or Paris green with pounds
Of dry bran. Then add from A to 8
quarts of water in which a half pint
Of sorghum has been mixed. Scatter
about the base of plants late in the
day.

DISEASE AVID INSECTS
Of GARDEN AND

From the time the seeds of gaIdcn

diseases and insects may appear that
must be fought. Vegetable troubles
are due to numerous causes, includ
ing unfavorable soil conditions, too
wet or too dry, too rich or too poor,
lack of humus or of lime, weather
unsuited to some crops. ,a.olcss use
of fertilizers, or attacks of FUNGI or

tlllzers suited to each crop, adequate
cultivation, the planting of al crops
in their proper seasons important
for the successful growing o. garden

to fungi, bacteria, and other enemies
requires special additional treatment,
as does the damage caused by insecrs"
CFarmers Bulletin 1871. u. s. d. A.
| want to mention briefly some inn
portant insects and diseases that
should be of importance Just at this
time. Already there are some farm
ers having trouble with insects in
the turnips, and the time will room
be when paintings of tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, melons, squashes, etc, will
be made. The careful grower will
want to make a study of these insects
and diseases in advance in order that
he may practice prevention" rather
than have to use the cure.
Space and time will not permit me
to mention but a very few pointers
Just at this writing but let me caut-
ion the grower that the use of disea SO
free seed and plants is Fundamental
to all insect and disease control. A
system crop rotation shold never be
overlooked. Many diseases and in
sects live over winter in the soil and
will appear on the plants again next
season if they are in the same soil.
Crops that are closely related should
not follow each other due 10 The pests

In the garden rotation the rows may
be changed each year and plants
planted at opposite sides and places
to avoid trouble. The truck crop
does not present so difficult 4 propo-
sition as does the graden. The truck
crops are usually grown in the fields
beside the field crops and The propo-
sition of rotation is usually made
easy.

The stripped cucumber beetle is
one of great importance in the coun-
y This little beetle is about one
fourth inch in length and is yellow or
golden color stripped with black in
three stripes along the back. The in
jury of these insects is to he young
lender plant in the spring by eating
The leaves and gnawing the stem at
or below the surface of the ground.
They are Iund most troublesome on
cucumbers, cantaloupes, melons, and
squashes. They are rapid workers
and may destroy a stand of Young
plants over night. They not only do
great damage by eating the plants
but they spread diseases from plant
TO plant Various methods have been
recommended for their control but
none have proven entirely satisfac-
tory. The experiment station has
been conducting some tests in the
past two years in which they have
found sodium fluosilcate to rive The
best results. The directions for its
use are being sent to IRE at an early
date and effort will be made to OBJ
tain this material for use Oh the crops
this season.
There are many diseases that we
are more or less concerned with in
the spring. Cucumbers, melons, and
are suspect;bla to wilt, Mo
sale, Anthracnose Downy Mildcw,
Angular leaf-spot, and Ieafspot. A
number of other diseases that may be
troublesome in the truck or garden
crops in the early spring incluS
Off, Root Knot, Blight, Rust
etc.
As | stated above, the best practice
is to rotate crops. clean cultul al
and fall bleaking of the
land. The grower IS sure 10 be con-
fronted with some of these pests and
his success in controlling them is go
ing to depend to n great extent on

FOREMAN Cement
PLANT SOON To
BE CONSTRUCTED
Company and Railroad Men Given
Bic Welcome ut Foreman.

Foreman, Ark, April 16.--A group
of out of town men arrived Sunday
Ito invetigate and prepare for a ce-
nent plant in Foreman.
The citizens of Foreman are very
much enthused over the prospects ut
this time for the erection Of cemcnt
plant at this place in the near future.
A representative of me American
Portland Cement company, with a
party of railroad men and construct
ion engineers, arrived in the city
Sunday and spent several days here
looking over the property aid making
estimates to be submitted 10 the com
pany.
The party of Frisco officials was
composed of J. B. Hilton. st Louis,
industrial commissioner: II. M. Booth
TT. Smith, assistant engineer, and ].
G.. Weaver, Ft. Smith, division freight
agent. Other members of the part}
were Col. Leigh Hunt, president OF
the Hunt Engineers company, OF
Kansas City; George J Trombold, in
dustrial engineer from the same COM
pany; John p. Streepey, Little Rock
and James II. Williams, of Ashdown
land counsel for the American Port
land Cement companq.
l.. L. Gif'itrh, of Ann Abor, Mich,
mechanical engineer; j. b. Harb-
ison, a representative of the .. b.
Avery company, makers of construct
ion equipment, and Clay Oxford, Of
New York, arrived Tuesday.
The construction of the railroad
switch will necessarily be the first
steps taken before construction work
on the plant could be undertaken.
The party was given cordial re-
ception at a banquet in the dinning
room of the Gathright Hotel Monday
at noon, by the business n.en Of the
town, presided over by Herman Cas-
tile.
He called on C. f. Oxford for 4
talk, stating the people of Foreman
were ready and willing TO cooperate
with his company. Mr. Oxford re
piled he wanted the moral support o!
the community for his company a!
he had no stock-seling scheme. Other
speakers called on were Col. Hunt
who confined his remarks to natura
gas, the many conveniences 10 III,
home and the wonderful possibiitiei
it affords. Col. Hunt congratulate
the community on its display of eivi'
pride. j. B. Hinton, industrial agen
for the Frisco, made an interesting
talk. His remarks were on the trad,
at home idea of building state
county or town, and closed with tht
admonition to "Know your hom,
town first" T. II. Dukes. cashier o,

1t seems that as long as Alice Terry

they're all dark-skinned and dark

a coincidence. 1t is in truth ,he So

That, as a matter of facr. is what
happens between Alice Terry and
Ivan Petrovich in "The Garden Of
Allah" 1t seems like a triumph owe,
nature to gladden. The hearts Of peo-
ple..
Rex Ingram, therefore, strives for
simple conflicts in notion pictures.
Their central ideas can be expressed
in sentence and his chief characters
move forward from the first foot of
film to the final fadeout with no
wandering into primrose by-paths,
however interesting. No doubt he
got this idal from his study Of iculp-
ture at Yale-an ideal of the simple
as being great art, and The complica-
ted as being scond rate.
So from the beginning he seems to
have held firmly to the type of man
and woman he wantetd for his lead !
ing roles. He may really believe Mt
traction of opposites in law Of Ia
ture. For he himself is daIk-haircd |
and Miss Terry light, and their mar
riage has now had six years test. !
1t continues a happy, understanding
union.
Ingram always picks big men Of
musclar build and dark features. In
that respect Novarro was perhaps the !
lightest, Moreno the darkest, Faien-
tino the handsomest and Peteovich |
the strongest.
But each is distinctive Latin |
type. The fact that Petrovicn Is Sc

he looks as Latin as anv Of the rest, !
