Aj BX MRS. C. O. BRANSON In this article the names and nature ot pests are' giYen to aid busy gardeners to combat the numerous pests that infest the ground. Sorts of seeds are men tioned thai do well in this climate. Gradus peas are an early Tr- iety and one of the best. Early Morn are gopd if the crop is de sired to be gathered all at one time, as they ripen evenly; the Gradus will blossom and bear ag ain. The Telephone, dwarf And tall, are excellent for later crops. Peas should be soaked in kero sene oil a few minutes and sprin kled well with cayenne pepper and. Paris -Green t oinsure protection from moles. Gradus. peas are considered dwarf growing, but in this climate, they grow so high. that; they need 'some support. . The cabbage maggot, which al so infests radisnes, turnips ana cauliflower, can be successfully handled by the persistent use of spraying. First there should be sulphur and ashes sprinkled, in the rows ready for the seeds, and the ground thoroughly sprayed with Carco, a solution ot lime water and carbolic acid, which may be procured at seed stores, or one may make the solution. Before setting the cabbage plant, It should be immersed in the Car co solution .(diluted), and then set in the ground, which has been sprayed well. The first sunny days -bring the yellow flies, which wilU deposit a large number of eggs, ardund the young plants HJnleas these the .killed they will hatch, and the maggots will begin their-destxuctlTe work of eating the, stalks. Subsequent spray lags must be given as maax times as the eggs appear, the spraying made, around the plant,, wetting 1 d t Uhrf ground well. .

There may be an occasional cutworm which will cut off the stalks entirely; if so, give them poisoned bait.

Buick Economy Deirioristrated To demonstrate the operating economy .of the fottr. cylinder Buick car we j inau gurated a 1000 mile econoiny run in San Francisco. 7 The route selected crossed Market Street, ran along .Mission and Howard Streets to the Beach over hills and through traffic. The car was started by the Superintendent of Service Stations-of the Standard Oil Company, who officially sealed the gasoline tank, crank case, oil spout and radiator.. V Only a pertain appointed Standard Oil representative, broke, the seals andjpesealed the car 'when gasoline was taken. No oil nor water were added. The car. was started.Wednesday; May. 10th at 10:00 a. m. and ran continuously un til 1 :30 p. m. Friday, May 12th, 1922. It was driven by three different men in our emTh'c&r was the ordinary stock 22-35 used for several months previous by one of our. men to make calls about San. Francisco. Nothing was done further than to be sure the, hrake Were not dragging and the carburetor, spark and calves well adjusted.

WILSON OTTO J. CENTER and COMMERCIAL STREETS Phone 22Q Salem, Oregon . : summer use and those Bet in June or July tor fall and winter use. The Jersey or Oregon Daketield are sorts for April and December setting. The Danis Ballhead or Flat Dutch for the June settings. There are other good sortsr Cauliflower should bet set to head either before or after the heat of the summer. Winter caul liflower (broccoli) will head in early spring if set late in the fall.. The Hanson lettuce Is excellent for heading. Lettuce will head better it reset. It can be planted in the fall and reset in the spring. Early hothouse plants set as ear ly as possible insures the heading before hot weather. A plant that has stood through the winter as cabbage, beet, or parsnips, must be lifted and reset if desired to save seed from them. If not reset the regetables from those seeds "will go to seed." Chantenay carrot has no equal for table use and successive plant ings should be made, making sure to keep a generous bed for the winter's use. The Golden Bantam or Golden West sweet corn (the latter be ing the acllimated Bantam) is a sort having no equal and succes sive plantings until June or July can be made, insuring "roasting ears" until after frost. Be sure to try this; the ears may be short but are delicious. The Oregon Danver onion . Is the best variety here. .Planted as late as June or July, they can be let stand all winter for a crop of spring green onions. This sort is mild in flavor and will not hurt the most delicate stomach. Burpee's 'strlngless green-pod beans (dwarf) are most excel lent for early table use and tor canning. Oregon Pole lima beans are the only sort that mature well in this climate. Progressive Evergreen straw berries bear fruit from June until frost if kept in good condition Chalk's early Jewell and, the Puget Sound tomato are the best varities for this climate, the nights being too coll for the fruit to mature; however, these do fairly' well. The plants should be reset from the hotbed or house box into the cold frame awhile to insure hardiness and thrift. Be fore setting in the field the plants should be of good sise with new Shoots putting out on the sides and may even be in bloom. The ground should be warm when they are set, the plants thriving better in ' warm June than in a cold May. ; Set the stakes early for support and keep pinching oft side shoots unless a large amount ot green tomatoes are wanted In the. tall. It there are not enough bees to do the pollenicing the blossoms should be hand pollen ized by rubbing some of the pol len over all the blossems with the fingers.. There should be more hives of bees around for their valuable work. Never kill a bum blebee. Unless the stigma of the blossom has received pollen, the plant, cannot bear fruit. The plants should be sprayed with boreaux solution for prob able blight. Nitrate of soda scat tered around the roots promotes rapid growth. Some lime in the deep trench, is helpful.. It is bet ter to water most plants by ir rigation than wetting the foliage to prevent the water from wash ing.off the pollen; the water is needed at the roots. Aphides, "sap-sucking insects, insects infest rose bushes and bushes and other plants and should be sprayed with nicotine eulphate or black-leaf 40, both solutions containing tobacco. The aphid or plant-louse sucks the Juice of plants. They are notably prolific. A female, by parthen ogenesis, may give rise to mil lions of progeny in two genera tions or produce 10.000,000.000, 000,000,000,000 in Us twelfth brood. During the summer the young are born alive while to wards fall eggs are produced from which are hatched aphides having wings, . Many of the aph ides have two tubes on the ad domen from which exudes honey dew, a sweetish fluid of which ants are very fond. You may see the ants stroking the lice to induce them to give off a mora copious flow. , The beetle inflicts damage -on the potato, tomato and other gar den and some flower plants. very small bug which cannot , be killed by spraying. Spray con taining poison must be used. Any disagreeable substance such . . as plaster, . Boot, ashes, or tobacco dust will repel its attacks. Bug death procured at seed stores is a good remedy for plant-eating insects. For the cabbage worm (green) j on the leaves, hand pick and use pyretbrum spray or it be used in the powder form. Pyrethrum, used in making insect powder, is the best insectifuge to use on plants that are to be used as food as the powder is not poison to hu man beings poison only to ani mals without lungs as in the trachea reathtlng Inserts, Py rethrum powder dusted welli n a tightly closed room over night will kill; files or they will become so inactive that they may be swept up and destroyed. This is also the remedy forfleas. Thripes, a very small rep-sucking insect attacks young onions from seed and the leaves turn a silvery or whitish color and later curl and twist. Spray with nico tine solution wetting the plants and ground well. Small cut worms also attack onions from seed. Poison spray is effective. If the large cutworms are pres ent feed them poisoned bait. The pests feet a night and hide under chips or other objects through the day. The bait should be spread around the plants. powdery mildew can be con trolled by dusting flowers of sul phur on the diseased plant be fore blooming. This should be used at the very first appearance of the mildew. Anthracnose is common on cu cumber, tomato, bean, egg-plant and melon leaves, causing brown spots and sometimes sunken spots appear on the fruit. Spray with Bordeau. The squash bug may be hand picked. As they prefer squash as food one can diminish their at tack on melon, cucumber, egg plant, etc., by planting an occas ional "trap plant" in the beds of the others named as hand picking: will be easier on a few trap plants than over the whole field- A small . board laid bes'de the young plant often turnishesn ight shelter for the bugs which iray be collected and killed the next morning.. The early blight on potatoes consists of brown spots with con centric rings on the leaves and is more prevalent in moist weath er. Spray with BOrdeau mixture beginning when plants are a few inchesh igh, repeating every two weeks for a month or more. Late blight is dark brown spots .n leaves appearing water soaked and not having concentric ring3 the spots becoming yellow and the leajes die. It is accelerated by the sultry weather in August and September. Spray the same as for early blight. It lives over winter in seed potatoes. Potato ceed should be soaked in formalin before planting. It is better to spray before blight appears (in any plant) than to take chances If plant diseases, do not. yield readily to treatment the affect ed plants should be taken up and burned. Spraying with a combination of Bordeau and arsenate of lead is a -wise safeguard and half the la bor is saved; the disease and the eating. Insects can be remedied at the sane time. The bean or pea weevil can eas ily be destroyed (in those saved for seed) by placing the seeds in a tight box with a dish inside con (Continued on page ) pouble Cable &ast? ?Tive& Your sense of business economy demands care in tire buying.
