To Combat Insects

Mrs. P. A. Johnston, vice
president of the Laurel Garden
club, was in charge of the meet

Committee members were man,
ed by the chairman, Mrs. l.. R.
Shay, to serve on the plant sale
by the club May 6 and Z at
the commercial club building.
A paper, "Why Spray, When
and What" was given by Mrs.
o. R. Burdette, in which she
said:
"To know the new insecticides
is good garden insurance. The
flow of new insecticides continues
undated. More progress is said
to have been made in the last
three or four years than in the
past half century. Despite a
number of new poisons On the
market, safe non-poisonous rotten
one will retain its popularity
for neophytes.
There are two general types
of insects, the chewers and the
suckers. The chewing insects
can be killed with a stomach poi
son. The sucking insects ex-
tract juices through a beak in
the underside of the head. They
should be killed with a contact
poison that su~ffocates or para
lyzes them.
"In the control of all insects
and fungi, apply treatments
early in the season and be sure
to cover the entire surface of the
plant. Remember" Mrs. Burdette
said, "no one spray is a cure

Scorpion" Mrs. Conrad said,
"may not have to risk death at
the hands of a rival sutton the
way certain other animals do, but
he may pay with Ibis life in the
end any hour. The female after
mating, has no further regard
for the male. She stings and
devours the male, unless he is
quicker than most of his fell
lows. SIN some angler fishes
living in the middle depths of
the ocean,, the male is not only
a diminutive dwarf, but is firmly
imbedded, head on, as a parasite
in the flesh of the female. One
female caught near Iceland was
forty inches long whereas the at
tached male measured only four
inches.
"All in all, in every conceivable
mean of ~suppressing the male as
an individual or as a sex, seems
to have been tried by some ami
mails or another. The female has
dispensed with him for genera
ton after generation and has
made him a nurse maid"
The next meeting of the club
was announced for Thursday,

Cut them all down and the ones

You can live off a garden
