Locution of oiiIiii iiIk from rullvy

ily reoulro (liriercnl timing of the
spray to secure the best results.
The late preblootu spray should
lie made Just before the pistillate

In their development, and the nuts
will average about one-eighth or

about the size of a Ki'aln of
wheat.
The same strength of Itordenux
mixture, namely, :M-50. should be
used for the second spray. This
Is the same spray as used for tho
prehloom application. One pint of
heavy mineral oil or one quart of
oil umilMlou (viscosity 1U0-12H sec

Gardening Hints
. Itea ns should not bo planted un
til ihe mound Is warm. They are
very lender to frost or to cold cut
ting winds in their younger stages.
Hardens with light, warm, sandy
.-mil can get un earlier bean start
than those with heavy colder soil.
lEadlshes, carrots and lettuce
should he sown at ten-day Inter
vals throughout the spring season
in order ti have a continuous sup
ply of crisp, tender roots and
leaves.
Don't let spring get too rar ad
vanced before reseeding the bare
spots In Ihe lawn, and applying
plant food.
