Kill Beetles
Now While
It's Easy
Poison Will Destroy
Grubs Working to
Surface of Lawn
By Edtcin Fl. Perkins


Good flower growing weather is
now the rule throughout the entire
country. Everywhere the gardener
sees evidences of the work of enc
mics. These enemies are the various
insect pests, which should be dealt
with according to plans already dis
cussed, and the fungus or vegetable
parasitical growths which attack
their hosts almost overnight. The
time to begin the regular spraying
and busting program is definitely
at hand
Most Of us make quick work of
enemies we can see. but far too
often fail to anticipate troubles
ahead. Those States which have
been bothered previously with Jap
anese beetle infestations are the
ones to which this message is di-
rected. Deal with Japanese beetles
now and deal severely, because the
odds will definitely be against you
beetles take wing.
The grubs of japanese beetles are
now in a fairly advanced state.
They are working up from under the
lawn and are sufficiently close to the
surface to be killed by an applica-
ton of poison. Such a poison can
be created by applying arsenate of
lead over the entire lawn at the
rate Of Is pounds of the crude
material to every 1000 square feet
of lawn surface. If rainfall seems
unlikely after the poison has been
applied, it is suggested that the
lawn be watered heavily. The dis
solved chemical will then run into
the crevices and get in its work.

Grow Herbs
To Replace
Seasonings
Best Way to Combat
Wars Effect Upon
Imported Spices
By ESteHe II. Johnson

By EsteHs II. Johnson
When there are wars and rumors
of wars, there are also rumors of
food shortage. While the United
States is not at war, and there Is
no rumor Of food shortage, house
keepers will soon begin to feel the
effects OF war in their seasoning
jars.
Agents of herbs and spices are ad-
vising that no shipments of some
Of the most used favorings and sea-
sonings can be made to the United
States on account of conditions
caused by the European war.
So be prepared for the coming
winter by putting a few favorite
herbs in the garden. either the vege-
table or flower garden. If the home
does not possess either garden, then
cultivate a small plot somewhere, If
there is any yard at all.
1t may be that some who have
seen the boxes on the kitchen porch
at Ash Lawn" the home of Presi-
dent Monroe, now filled with
flowers, which were used as a kitchen
herb garden in the good old days"
OF the past, can make similar ar
rangement at the home kitchen
door or in window boxes.
Herbs are both a necessity and a
luxury. A necessity for seasoning
and flavoring. and luxury if they
are to be had in abundance when
wanted. Their fragrance, when in
flower garden mingling with the
odor of the flowers, gives an unusual
aroma which is very pleasing.
The herbs can be bought from
catalogues, either in seed or root
clumps. Considering the purse, buy
the seed, which usually has the di-
rections on the packet, so the anna
teur gardener can't go wrong.
Now a word about their cultiva-
ton. Soil for herbs should be care
fully prepared, we'll drained and of
medium richness. The plants are, for
the most part. delicate and easily
choked out by weeds. Plant in rows
and thin out, as the plants grow.
For preserving the herbs, most
plants should be cut when in bloom
wilted in the sun, thoroughly dried
in the shade and stored in jars to
preserve their seasoning and fla
voring qualities.
