Red spiders (miteS are making

control them before they do too

the easiest control. Sulphur dust is

effects by their wilted appearance,

The mites are so small that they

The annual garden problem Of

to tie the leaves in knots. If in

Paraffin and vegetable wakes have
been used to Offset dehydration and

liquid latex spray combined with
its other ingredients successfully

be applied in the form Of a fine mist

Hoe Most Useful
Implement in
Gardening

The hoe is the most useful cult.
waiting tool among the great number
OF essentials and gadgets found in
the amateur collection. There is
no compromise on quality of hoes.
They should be made of the best
forged steel. For a man, the 7.
inch size with a large handle is
recommended Women generally
get along better with the shorter
handled, 6-inch-bladed instrument.
Gardeners often confuse hoes with
hose and use the latter when need
for the former is indicated. Just
after the spring rains have left
us, we often needlessly resort to the
hose for watering when we should
be cultivating out weeds and lighten-
ing the top layer of the soil into
dust mulch with q scuffie hoe.
In use, the operator jabs the hoe
up and down in the ground but
does not step upon the broken or
scunled surface after 1t has been
prepared.
For use between rows. use the
model called diamond pointed hoe.
1t resembles the shape of a cut
diamond-with two cutting edges to
break up the hardest Of rain-beaten
surface. This hoe is also valuable
for work between the narrowest
rows of small plants. In recent
years. the speedy cultivator with
four sharp tines turned so that It
can be dragged through the ground
with a chopping motion has found
wide favor. It can be used on rea-
sonAbly light soil.
