NOW that the insect season
" is definitely under way and
the victory gardener becomes a
fighter on the home front, a bit
Of advice on the use OF insecti-
cides and fungicides is in order.
First, let's difierentiate. A
fungicide is used 10 control
funeous diseases. An insecu-
eide is used TO Kill insects.
There are two general types
of insecticides because there are
two general types of insects.
Some insects eat plant parts.
These have chewing mouthparts
and the damage they do shows
plainly in hoIes IN the leaves or
tattered edges of the same.
The other type does not eat
plant tissues. Instead. a long
proboscis is inserted under the
top layer of plant tissue and
the juices OF the plant are
sucked UP through this.

Handle Carefully

Stomach poisons for chewing
insects are usually as poisonous
10 humans as TO insects. and
must be handled and stored
with greatest caution. These
include lead arsenate, calcium
arsenate and cryolite.
Contact" insecticides TO con-
troll sucking insects include
nicotine sulphate and pyreth-
rum. The nicotine sulphate is
usually bought in concentrated
form Gao per cent? and diluted
for use on plants. In the con-
centrated solution il is highly
poisonous.
A few insecticides are effec-
tive against both types OF in
sects, whether they chew or
suck. One of these is rotenone.
Not only will il control both
types of insects but il is also
nonpoisonous TO warm blooded
animals (meaning US and the
household pets). The combina-
ton of good qualities makes II
the only insecticide which may
be used freely on vegetables,
including the parts that we
expect TO eat.

FUNGUS diseases may appear
in many forms-as willis, spots.
yellows, rusts and so on. Two
types of chemicals control them
sulphur and copper combina-
tions. If faced with a fungous
infection use sulphur first and,
II that does not work, try
copper such as Bordeau mix

Above all, don't wait to act.

Shall We Stake7

To stake or not to stake is
often a question. IFS answer, If
there is only little room avail
able, is obvious. Otherwise ii
amounts to this: left to sprawl
the plants will produce greater
poundage of fruit and there will
be considerably less labor in
caring for them.
While the fruit that touches
the ground may be affected by
disease. mulching under the
plants will largely prevent this.
Staked plants will produce less
fruit as measured pound for
pound but each piece will be OF
finer quality, which should help
repay for the work of pruning
and tying. Even in the case of
pruned and staked plants,
mulch around them once they
are well established will not
only cut labor, but will help
prevent water loss from the soil
and blossom end rot, in this way
producing better fruit.
NEXT WEEK .r. we will
talk about pruning and stalking
tomatoes.

Insect Kills Self

of poison to the plant tissues

On Spacing

Spacing the plants in the
garden depends on the variety
TO be grown and whether or not
the plants are TO be staked.
Plants that are left TO sprawl
must be allowed at least 2 feet
each way, 3 feet is better.
Tomatoes to be staked may be
placed as close as 18 inches each
way, though 2 feet would be
better on the gardener.
A handful of fertilizer placed
under each plant will help it to
grow sturdier and give more
fruit. This should not. however,
be allowed to touch the roots
and should be well mixed with
the soil.
When the plant is set, leave a
slight depression in the soil
around il. Fill this with water
several times, until the water is
absorbed slowly.
