You are right in your belief that

sects. Nothing you do to improve
the growth of your plants will do
much good until you get rid Of the
pests. In treating the fern, cut
away the fronds most badly infest-

very carefully with a soft cloth.

not much good in repairing leaks
in a cistern. The only permanent
way Of stopping seepage Is to plas-
ter the inside of the cistern. Scrub
thoroughly with a stir brush and
water. Then plaster with mix
of one part cement to two parts
of clean sand. The coat should be
a quarter inch thick or more, with
rounding at the corners to give
joints added protection. Trowel as
smooth as possible.-A. G. Tyler,
