Garden Slugs Cause
Much Damage to
Tender Leaves

The garden slug, a relative Of the
clam, snail and oyster, belongs to
the animal group generally called
mollusks. Both snail and slug are
known as gastropods which means
stomach in the foot" The snail
Is not common in the garden, but
the soft Shiny slug, whose shell is
only a small plate Of the back,
is very numerous and apt to be
quite bothersome. or the two spe-
cies which frequent the gardens the
common field gray one causes most
trouble. The other is known as the
giant or spotted garden slug.
Both varieties are in the habit
Of hiding under any rubbish in the
garden during the day-one more
reason why none should be left
lying about to shelter any pests.
At night the slugs emerge and feed
on the tender leaves of many Of
the garden plants. Their presence
may be noted by the odious Shiny
trail which they leave behind wher-
ever they crawl. They lay jelly
like eggs in the soil or under sticks
and stones both In the fall and
spring.
Any plants which are not used
for food may be protected against
slugs by spraying them with lead
arsenate or Bordeaux mixture. Place
shingles here and there among the
vegetable crops to serve as traps
for the slugs which may then b
destroyed. Any dry or caustic ma
terial repels them, as they dislike
crawling through it. Individual
plants or small beds may be pro-
tected from these pests by sur
rounding them with . ring Of
hydrated lime. SCOT or dne coal
ashes.

Why plants 1Uhich require acid
soil require a generous amount
OF humuS in the soil.
The presence Of calcium in the
soil improves its physical condition.
Perhaps this is one reason why
plants which require an acid soil
also require soil with an excep-
tionally high humus content.
When advisable to incorporate
humus In soil under cultipd-
ton how should hun,us be
applied and how much hun1us
material should be used?
Hunus materials used for soil i'm

The poison may also be added to
water at the rate of one pound to
gallon in a sprinkling can, and
applied. In either case few trials
on small area where the proper
amount, that is, one-half gallon per
100 square feet, if the five-pound
rate is used or one gallon if the 10
pound rate is applied, should pre-
cede general distribution. This treat
ment of lawns may be applied any
time of the year when the soil is not
frozen, but late summer through
early fall is best because the grubs
are then small and more easily
killed than at any other time.

to Judge the proper rate of distri-
button. To insure even distribution,
which is very important, a given
quantity of the material may be
equally divided and broadcast sepa-
rately, one portion crosswise of the
other. The garden hose should be
used until no trace of the white lead
remains on the surface. The drench-

Favorite Garden Color

Blue is a favorite color in the
garden, and pure blue Is one Of
the rarest tones Of nature. The
annual border needs its blues to
balance the color scale and to add
cool touch during the hot months

The time for making a new lawn
is here. Grass seed may be planted

until mid-winter. Care should be
taken in handling the fruits. lest

rotten places appear.
Pumpkins Fussy About
Temperature.
Very sensitive to extremes Of tenn
perature, pumpkins like 1t neither
too cold in the winter, nor too hot in
the summer. For this reason, they
are usually grown under partial
shade at the base Of sweet corn or
some other tall-growing plant. A
familiar sight to most of us-and
one not new to the American scene.
Long before the coming of the white
man, pumpkins were being grown
between corn rows, over large areas,
from the st. Lawrence River to the
Gulf OF Mexico.
In this section OF the United
States pumpkin seeds should be
planted no later than the middle
of July. The seed terminates best
at a rather high temperature and
is likely to decay when the soil
is cold and wet. Because they de-
velop a rather long vine growth the
plants are spaced about 8 feet apart
in every third row of corn; seven
or eight seeds are planted in each
hill to a depth of IA inches. When
the seeds begin to vine, they should
be thinned down to not more than
three in each hill.
May Be Attacked
By Beetle.
Young seeding pumpkins are Of
ten attacked by the striped cucum-
| Der beetle. A mixture of l part
calcium arsenate and or parts
hydrated lime busted over the plants
will destroy the beetles. Rotenone
dust also will control this pest
but its use Is now restricted by the
Government to more important food
crops.
Although pumpkins are native
Americans" we can't lay exclusive
claim to this plant, since Asia also
| has several native varieties. In
China the pumpkin is called the
emperor" Of the garden and Is
looked upon as a symbol Of fruit
fulness, health and gain.
When English settlers came to
America bringing with them the
tradition of Halloween with its
ghosts and witches and scary gob-
Inns, they were not long in recog-
nizing the possibilities" of the
pumpkin. Grfnning jack-o'-lanterns
made from scooped-out pumpkins
soon became part Of the festivities
on All Hallows' eve, and have beer
associated with the occasion ever
since. .... - ,-. lbs

The Garden
Notebook

Those gardeners who did not
find time to stake the taller growing
perennials now have them lying on
the ground. The deluge of last week
certainly plastered the ground with
everything that was not well staked.
If the wind tore ivy loose from
the wall to which 1t clung not too
tightly, cut 1t of and bring 1t in
doors for winter decorations. 1t will
stay fresh in water all winter long
A piece Of charcoal in the water will
help to keep 1t sweet.
Hj<H
Our chrysanthemums are much
later than usual in Towering this
fall. Even the Koreans, which nor
mally open in early October, are
just beginning to give color to the
garden. Perhaps it is the lack of
prolonged cloudy weather? Well,
with last weeks clouds and rains
they should be stimulated to flower
ing If that Is the cause.
&a&A>
The beautyberry (Callicarpa) Is
again justifying its planting. The
two bushes in the shrub border are a
mass of brilliant berries. The Amer
lean beautyberry is much more
snowy than the Chinese. The Chi
nese, however, is the more upright
grower. The berries are pink law
ender while those Of our native are
bright violet.

Now is a good time to select and
bring indoors for drying all material
wanted for winter bouquets. Orna-
mental grasses. artemesia, straw
flowers, coral berry, barberry, Chi
nese lanterns, lunaria, rose hips, bit
tersweet, etc, are all useful for this
purpose Many Of the weeds that
grow along the roadsides may be
gathered for this purpose.
The blue spires (Caryopteris) has
been making a most satisfactory
showing in our perennial border.
Ordinarily 1t Is planted in the shrub
border, but 1t makes such a fine dis
play late in the season that it goes
very we'll in most perennial borders.
The bush Is shapely, and is covered
in the late summer and early fall
with a mass Of clear blue flowers.
Even though you did not SOW
seeds Of spinach early enough for a
fall crop, they may still be sown to
provide an early spring crop. And,
little later-it is worth taking
chances-sow a row of lettuce for
early spring use.
Oi&u1o
Gardeners who planted 1t in time
(mid-August) are now getting ready
to enjoy q fine crop Of Chinese cab
bage. It makes q splendid addition
to salads. The trimmings may be
used as greens. Folks who cannot
eat the ordinary cabbages will flnd
very little trouble with the Chinese
or celery cabbage.
