In this article the names and
nature ot pests are' giYen to aid
busy gardeners to combat the
numerous pests that infest the

Gradus peas are an early Tr-
iety and one of the best. Early

sired to be gathered all at one
time, as they ripen evenly; the
Gradus will blossom and bear ag

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

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

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
