also been consulted as to a special
lectureship In the Oregon Agricul
tural college, located within a block
of the church. The student body of
thin trrcat Institution. numbering
from 3500 to 4000 makes a powerful
appeal to Dr. Waldo, the more espe
cially that Dr. Waldo has two sons
now readv for college, which, with
the many opportunities offered for
service by that institution, greatly
enhances this call, so that taken all
together the doctor has announced his
entire satisfaction with the call and
has accepted it.

appeal of its own, owing to strategic
position beside one of the greatest
educational Institutions of the state

EAR FRIENDS: At the close of
y last letter we were discuss-
g sprays to use .in extermi
nating sucking insects especially
aphids or plant lice.
These usually appear when the vi
tality of the plants is reduced by
cold, wet weather and they must be
killed by a "contact insecticide," that
Is a spray applied to them directly
and not a poison deposited on the
leaves for them to eat.
For these plant lice do not eat the
surface of the leaves as other Insects
do, but they pierce the surface and
suck the juices of the plant, by which
they rob It of Its life-blood.
We named three good sprays to use
against plant llce 1, tobacco sprays;
2, oil sprays; 3, soap sprays. Any of
tnese. la effective against all species
of aphids, or lice, so you can use the
one which is most convelnent.
As you may want to know lust how
to prepare these and apply trhem, I
will describe each today, in finishing
my advice on the extermination of
nsects as this is the time that we
need to fight our insect enemies or
tney may destroy the results of all
our previous labor.
Tobacco Solution Sprays. -
Tobacco sprays are more commonly
used than any other and are more
efficacious. Different preparations are
made of nicotine sulphate. 40 per cent.
and eold as "Blackleaf 40 "Nlcoteen."
etc iiiacKiear 40 is very satisfactory
used as directed or it may be com
bined with lime-sulphur for spraying
fruit in early spring.
You can purchase the refuse clip
pings at a cigar manufacturing plant
and powder these and use them. To
bacco is said to be best applied In any
form, anyway, and these clippings
and loose leaves are just as good as
any other form and very inexpensive.
ur you can steep tnese cuppings in
water and make your own nicotine
water spray.
The water should be made audsy
with some kind of soap, as stated
before, and. whale oil soap is espe
cially recommended for this. If the
leaves of your plants are badly
curled up the spray should be applied
with enough force to send it into the
folds where the plant lice are work
ing.
on Sprays.
Emulsified oil sprays are made of
oil made into an emulsion wit hsoap,
the most common- oil in use being
kerosene.
Kerosene emulsion is usually pre
pared aa a stock solution arid then
diluted as needed to the strength
required for spraying. It Is made as
follows: Hard soap ,fany kind).
pound; water, 1 gallon; kerosene. :
gallons. The soap should be dis
solved in the boiling water and when
thoroughly dissolved it should be re
moved from the fire and the kero
sens added. The mixture must then
be powerfully shaken together until
it becomes a creamy white .emulsion
(like thin mayonnaise ' dressing)
This Is best accomplished by forcing
the mixture back and forth through
& hand pump for 15 minutes or so.
-When this becomes a smooth emul
slon we will have three gallons of a

Soap Sprays.
Whale oil eoap Is usually used,
though ordinary laundry soap will do.
Whale oil soap in combination with
quassia chips makes a splendid spray
for use against aphids. Soap spray
is very effective alone applied thor
oughly at the rate of one pound of
soap to six or seven gallons of water.
A very common application of this
spray is the practice of housewives
in turning the washing suds over the
rose bushes, as many of us remember
helping to do every week in summer
when he were children.
This is also very good for all bush
fruits or plants liable to be infested
with lice. Strive especially to reach
the under-side of the leaves and buds
and other affected parts. Dipping a
whole branch in a pall of suds and
baking it around is a very effective
way.
Besides the value a an insecticide.
the wash water enriches the soil as
a fertilizer, but be sure to stir the

Carbolic Acid Emulsion.
For the cabbage and radish maggot
Oregon Agricultural college recom
mends a crude carbolic acid emul
sion to use on plants after they are
infected. It is made as follows:
Crude carbolic acid. 1 pint; soap
(any), 1 pound; water, 1 gallon. Dis
solve the soap in the boiling water.
remove from the fire and add the
carbolic acid. Shake well. To apply.
use one part of this emulsion to 50
parts of water. Then use about one
cupful for each plant, drawing back
the soil and applying to the roots
especially. Or use, a force pump, if
you have It, with less of the liquid.
Apply as soon as the plants are well
rooted In the garden and repeat every
eight or ten days as needed.
A commercial preparation called
Carco" Is for sale at all seed stores
and is very good, but you will find
it much cheaper, always, though a
little more trouble, to make your own
preparations.
"3-ln-l" Liquid Application.
An Oregon Agricultural college
bulletin says: "To provide for the
control of both those insects which
chew their food and those which have
sucking mouths, we have developed
a combination insecticide termed
3-in-l,' which may be prepared and
applied either as. a dust or as i
liquid spray."
The dust preparation has been de
scribed earlier in this article. The
liquid spray is made as follows: Lead
arsenate powder, pound (or lead
arsenate paste, 1 pound): black lea
40. 1 ounce (2 tablespoonf uls) ; pow
dered glue, 1 ounce (dissolved in hot
water); water, 15 gallons. Mix thor-
ougly. It can be applied with
spray pomp very satisfactorily but
the liquid njust be prepared fresh
eacn time it is useu, as it. aoes no
stick well to slick foliage and it may
burn very tender plants. .
In general, ft seems ranch easier
to use dry sprays where weather
conditions permit us to do so, a
should be the 'case with most of our
summer campaigns of insect and die
ease extermination.

thankful for this information. Yours
truly. ' MRS. H.
I am certainly very grateful for
your words of appreciation. I have
always loved to grow plants myself
and It is the very greatest of all sat
isfactions to me to feel that I may
help others to do so and to love the
work. The production of food is,
above all things,, tho most vital to
the physical life of our people, and
t Is worth a good deal to feel that
you are interested in something that
you are sure Is fundamentally neces
sary to the life of our country espe
cially now when we all feel that our
world. Is sadly awry, and we want to
help straighten things but are not
ure of just what is necessary and
right In these large new Issues.
And besides the vital necessity of
food production, there is a feelintr of
spiritual satisfaction and happiness
n working with the great laws of
the universe in the development of
life and growth that we can hardly
put into words but which I am sure
every real garden-lover feels. That
s the reason that the desire to "arrow
things" is so universal every spring
people of all ages, from the tinv
child to the oldest man. It Is our
response to the pull of nature's forces

dead of soul must'be he who does not
feel it.
Why We Transplant Plants.
There are various reasons for trans.
planting plants which we will try to
specify:
lMrst It is not really necessary to
transplanting any plant. Each will
grow from seed where It is sown. It
is only advisable sometimes to do so
to Improve the plant in some way.
second The main reason, perhans.
here is that we- have an exceDtion
ally cool climate during the spring
summer and fall, and so in order to
get enough warm growing weather
to mature our hot-climaje crops like
tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and
cucumber and melon vines it Is de-
irable to get them well started In
an artificially warmed place so that
they may have, the long growing sea
son which .they need to mature all
Third Besides this, there is the
reason for transplanting . the Kohl
crops cabbage,' cauliflower, broccoli.
Brussels sprouts, Kohl-rabl, kal
which will grow here readily' during
cool weather (hence 'their nam'
Kohl or cool).
The strongest growing and hardiest
of these are usually sown where ihey
are to grow like other vegetables.
would never transplant kale. Brussels
sprouts' or Kohl-rabi, unless I wanted
to put them in plaoa of some spring
crop that was not yet harvested, and
so sowed the seed early In a little pre
pared seed bed to give them an earlier
start by transplanting. Just as was
mentioned above.
Fourth But the fundamental rea
son lies deeper. Why does transplant
ing cabbage, cauliflower, broccali and
the hot-season plants help their
growth? Why does it make them
stockier?
These questions lead ,us ' to the
study of the root systems of plants
which we have never considered in
i our three years of chats together.. We
bed for the roots to grow In, we have
never considered the Importance of
the devolepment of the root system
except with potatoes, where usual
conditions are reversed and.lt is the
root condition that is valuable while
the vines and fruit are of no use
to HIS.
Extent of Roots.
Different in vest!fators have ' at
tempted to determine the weight of
the roots as compared with the weight
of the plant above ground. It was
found by one that "the roots of a
well-established field of ' clover
weighed as much as the total weight
of the steras'and leaves of the year's
crop," and that the weight of roots
of one of the grasses was as great as
the weight of the part above ground.
Other experiments varied, but they
all showed that the weight of the
roots is considerable much more
than is usually believed.
The relative weights of the roots
and the stems andleaves do not alone
show the large quantity of roots; the
total lengths of the roots are even
more striking. For Instance it was
found that the total length or roots.
that Is, the sum of the length of all
the roots of one wheat plant was
about 268 feet, and that the total
length of the roots of one plant of
rye was about 385 feet.
Also one corn plant produced In
the upper three feet of soil 1452 feet
of roots." These surprisingly lar
numbers Indicate with emphasis-the
thoroughness withs which the roots
Invade the soil. . j
Depth of Root Penetration. ...
There is a general belief among
farmers and gardeners that the roots
of all cultivated crops are very near
the surface and that few reach a
greater depth than one or two feet.
But the results of many experiments
made in eastern and central states
was that every crop, without excep
tion, penetrates the soil deeper than
was thought possible in earlier days.
For example, it was found that corn
roots penetrated fully four feet Into
the ground and that they occupied all
of the soil to that depth. On deeper
and somewhat drier soil corn roots
went down as far as eight feet. The
roots of the small grains wheat.
oats, barley penetrated the soil from
4 to '8 or even 10 feet.
Various perennial grasses rooted to
a depth of four feet the first year;
the next year, five and one-half feet,
and Increased later. Alfalfa was the
deepest rooted of all plants. Potato
roots filled the soil fully to a depth
of three feet; sugar beets to a depth
of nearly four feet.
In every ease it appeared that the
normal and usual depth of the roots
of ordinary field crops was from three
to eight feet. These results have been
confirmed later so that there is no
doubt about them.
Depth of Rootm In .Dry Sections.
It may be interesting to know what
roots do in dry sections, as many
parts of Oregon have insufficient
moisture In summer. In California
fibrous plants such as wheat and bar
ley descend in sandy soils from four
to seven feet. Plant roots on dry
farms in Utah have frequently been
found to grow to a depth of ten feet
and alfalfa roots from SO to 60 feet
in length are frequently exposed In
the gullies formed by the mountain
tQrrents.
. Roots of trees, shrubs and vines
also go down to great depth. Roots
of grapevines have been found at 'a
depth of 23 feet below the surface and
a common shrub In Xebraska sends its
roots to a depth of 60 fe t. Orchard
trees in arid parts of the west when
grown properly with a loosened sub
soil are observed to send their roots
down to great depth. .
In fact.it has become the custom in
tent and branching to the part of the'
tree above ground.
Kind of Roots.
The root of every plant has numer
ous branches, twigs ana inamcnis
lust as the tree we have just spoken
of has visibly above the ground.
The root which first forms when
the seed bursts (and Which may be
said to correspond to the trunk of the
growing tree) is known as the pri
mary root. From this primary root
other roots develop just as branches
form from the trunk above. These
are known as secondary roots.
When theprimary root grows more
rapidly than the secondary roots the
so-called taproot, characteristic of al
falfa, clover and similar plants. Is
formed.
When, on the other hand, the tap
root grows slowly or ceases its
growth and the numerous secondary
roots grow long a fibrous root system
which is characteristic of the cereals,
gTasses, corn and other similar plants.
With any type of .root the tendency
of growth is downward, though under
conditions that are most favorable
for the downward penetration of the
roots the lateral extensions may be
very large and near the surface. This
is also true where excessive light
watering of the surface is practical,
as Inexperienced gardeners spray
their gardens with the hose every day
and the plants receive so much water
St such untimely seasons that the
roots acquire the habit of feeding
very near the surface where the water
is so lavishly applied. inis means
not only that the plant suffers more
areatlv in times of arougtn out xnai
since the feeding ground of the roots
s smaller the crop is liable to be
which these two plants particularly
need.
This is a fascinating subject. One
would like to go on and find out why J
some plants will not stand transplant- j
ing t l an, uiiii 12,, Hiicitj u.iiy Mini
disturbance of their root systems kills
them, and why others which might
be transplanted are never so treated.
suppose in the latter case it is
largely because the pecuniary value
of the returns from these vegetables
would not warrant the extra labor in
volved.
In answer to Mrs. S.'s last questions.
tomatoes are strengthened by being
ransplanted two or three times, as it
does not hurt the plants to break up
their root systems and causes more
root branches to form. Also little
plants can be set near together, while
arger plants require more space be
tween them, so the consideration of
space occupied is one factor. It is
not necessary to pull off some leaves
each time, though tomatoes and many
other plants possess the power of
sending out new j-oots from the stem
n place of branches if the stem Is
burled below the soil and this gives
the plant Just that many more roots.
Also a short stem can hold up a bushy
plant better than a long, spindly one.
Of course all plants fructify without
reference to transplanting. It is only
that the stronger the root system the
stronger the plant and the stronger
the plant the more fruit it naturally
produces.

Pruning the Roots of Plants.
Pruning is the art of cutting off
parts of plants or vines or shrubs
or trees with a view to increasing the
efficiency of those that remain or
of developing different forms of
growth. Pruning vanes according to
the kind of plant or tree to be pruned
and according to the object in view.
Just as the tree is pruned to maKe
it send out side branches and assume
symetrlcal shape, so plant roots can
often be advantageously pruned to
cause them to send out a mass of
small branch rootlets Instead of
tan root or one or two main stems.
-The great difference in the pruning
of plant top growth and plant root
svstems Is that a plant often "runs
all to leaves and vines" when we Want
It to produce fruit and we cut off part
of-the branches to throw the strength
Into fruitaffc. On the contrary, a plant
cannot have too large a root system.
AIT plants take the nourishment from
the soil by whicn they grow ana ae
velop, not by the main large roots
but at the ends of the finest hair-like
roots which form In the secondary
root system. This corresponds quite
closely to the way the villp of the
small intestine '-absorbs food in our
own bodies.' &
Therefore and as a long delayed
answer, to Mrs. S.'s question .we
transplant plants to break up the root
systems and cause more fine roots to
form. Transplanting is simply a form
of pruning the roots and the etrect is
just the same as when, we pinch off
the ends of our geranium shoot
new growth starts out all down the
stem.
It is also sometimes recommended
that we "shear off" a large part 6f
the roots in transplanting, especially
with strawberry and celery plants
where I have seen recommendation
that one-third'Of the roots be sheared
off when the plants are set in th
ground. This of course causes them
to throw out a mass of new roots and
enables them to absorb more of th
water and with it the liquid food.
