Now that tho hack to the soil re quest of the government Is being re sponded to by many cllUeus of Col umbia county, somo of whom havo not hud cgriculturul. experience, the Information following, which is sent out hjt the I 'nltcd Stall's department of agriculture, will be of much aid unit aiHli.t in the work of raising food stuffs. Head all of It carefully. The homo gardener must count al most Inevitably upon the presence In his garden of plant discuses and pests, Bays a new Farmers' llulletln No. 818. "The Small Vegetable Gar den." It Is pointed out that if these aro not rombntod they will Interfere seriously with yields or destroy the plunts. It lu hard for somo gardeners to reallzo the importance of making early provision to combat these ene mies of plant life. It can not bo too strongly emphasized, however, that -turn provision is of equal Importance ll h other phases of gardening and i 'hat It should under no circumstances j lio neglected. The wise gardener : does, not wait for tho appearance of 1 Insects and diseases, hut takos steps I to combat them by spraying the 1 plants at reasonable Intervals from early spring until his crops have been i harvested, or by other protective I measures. He thus Insures himself I igalnnl the likelihood of loss. ' Tho necessary Implements and ma terials for protecting the home gar den ngalnst insects and diseases 1 should be assembled early In the sea son. Tlioso consist of a substantial ; hand sprayer and the necessary con centrated solutions, which, after dl- : lutlon with water, are to be sprayed 1 011 tho plants. I The diseases which affect garden plants may be divided Into two 1 groups, parusltio maladlos, such as 'the blights, ore caused by fungi or germs, and usually may be prevented or controlled by spraying with nor doaux mixture. I-lttle Is known, how- over, of tho so-called constitutional dlsoaaos, and little can be done to nrovent thulr ravugos. If some mal ndy which doos not yield to treatment with liordeiiux mixture manlfosts Itsolf on Isolated plants lu the gar don, It may be well to pull up these ntants and burn them. Tho Insects which attack garden plants may be divided Into two groups those which eat or chow llie irun or follane and tlioso which suck the plant Juices. Eating Insocts may be killed nsuully by spraying poisonous solutions or dusting powders on the ..i..ni. urliloh thov attack. Arsenate of load Is the poison Id most general use for this purpose. This substance Is poisonous to persona as well aa to Insocts and must be used with care. It Bhould not be applied to vegetables thut are to be used soon. All vege tables should be washed carefully be fore they are eaten, regardless of whether they have been sprayed. Most of the garden plants may be guarded against disease and at the same time protected from attack by outing Insects by spraying at Intervals it two weeks with a combination of llordeaux mixture and arsenate of ead. Other methods of protecting plants from the larger eating insects are to lick the pints by hand or knock them A-lth a stick Into a pan containing water on which a thin film of kero leno Is floating. Insects collected by land should be destroyed promptly. Voung plants may be protected by sotting over them wooden frames '.evered with mosquito netting, wire mesh or cheesecloth. Cutworms may 0 kept from plants by setting tin or niper collars into the ground around ho stalks. Sucking Insects, such as plant lice, an not be killed by poisoning the mrface of the leaves and fruit, since .hey feed by puncturing the plants .nd extracting the internal Juices. Poisons which will kill by contact or luhstnncea which envelop and imother the pests are, therefore, em iloyed against the sucking Insects. Tho principal remedies of this sort ire nicotine solutions, flsh-oll and j Hi or sonp solutions, and kerosene emulsion. The gardener should remember that many plant diseases and Insects ixlst In the garden from year to year. U tho end of the growing season, horoforo, the garden Bhould be care ully cleaned of rubbish, the stems of iilants. leuves, etc. It is necessary to urn this debris promptly, as any disease spores or Insects which may be present are then surely destroyed. BEAN AND PEA VEEVIL stored KeJs HIhwJiik Iar(e Kound Hole Need Treatment. YOUR PHYSICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION Deans and peas stored for seed, showing large round holes In the -tides, are Infested with weevils and need fumigation with carbon blsulfld gas before being planted, says A. L. Lovett, entomologist of the O. A. C. txparlment station. "The adult weevil Is e small, olive drub beetle that appears In the field ut blossoming time and deposits eggs jlotig the keel of the developing pods. The eggs hatch into grubs that enter mil feed on tho muturlng seeds In which they are still present when the seed Is stored." Carbon blsulfld fumigation Is the standard treatment. The tin or con tainer In which the seeds are stored is made as nearly gas proof as pos sible. For each 15 bushels of seed, one pound of carbon blsulfld Is used. It may be poured over the seeds or placed In shallow tanys above them. The blu should be securely closed for 24 hours, then opened and thorough ly aired. i Caution should bo used In handling' the carbon blsulfld, cs It is very In-1 flummable. Do not open noar a hot ! move or use a light or smoko while ; treating tho seed. j Anothor treatment for the weevil Is to pour the seed Into a vessel of ; lolling water. Before doing this have: ieady for Instant use a supply of cold water which must immediately be (dded to the water containing the sends. The infested socds will float and may be skimmed oft. This treat ment Is advisable only when the seeds can be planted at once. Neither of the treatments, should injure the vitality of the seed. 4 When brought to our store, will be accurately and carefully filled and none but the best of drugs used.

Your noblest natures are most credulous. Chapman. Homo Philosophy Tho Idle moments taken when one feels llko It are not Idle moments at all; they're simply a change of occu nation. Every man needs recreation, but no well man needs Idleness. Most of us get tired of our Jobs now and then, but we also get tired of ourselves. The things we love best very fre lueutly get on our nerves. And so, 'It Is no argument that work Is not a pleasure if It doesn't run along smoothly without unpleas- mt. Interruptions. Work is a demand of nature. If we waut knowledge we have to work for It. Nothing comeo to us worth while mlofls we work for It. And as things worth while make our happiness, Happiness can be safoly credited to work. Mowing pasture lands when the weeds aro In full bloom Is an excel lent practice, as It prevents the for mation of weed seeds. Most weeds, even of the perennial type, can gradu ally be brought under control If they are not allowed to produce seed tor several years In succession. A little want ad In the St. Helens Mist will bring results. 1 j Your Spring Suit You should order it now. Come in and look over my line of woolens.
