' , iv; .. - in gardening all her life. But thif is her last. There are too many bugs, worms, and diseases. No matter what your w ot k or pleasure, there is always some thing to Ijeep it from being per fect. That, some folk say, is half cnu Madsen the fun of it Personally, I could enjoy it referring to gardening just as much were there a little less of insects and diseases. But the only thing to do is to fight back with poisonous sprays and dusts. You have a right to enjoy the plants you have planted. Don't let any. foreign elements drive you off. Mrs. B. L. adds that she finds it so little use. Her neighbors have not joined the , combat against pests, diseases or weed seeds. Just as she conquers something, it moves back into her-plate again from across the driveway. She should really , wish all of the pests Would move over on her place. She knows then she will k get them killed. If they remain - on h er neighbors lot, they may Just in- j crease there. But, - seriously, wouldn t it be possible to interest the neighbor in some part of the fight also? Battle Never Ends Garden battle is continuous, but if it is followed methodically it does not become too much of a chore. Moles seem to be the great est problem. There doesn't seem to be any such rule as sprang ev ery ten days for these. Bat even they can be caught. One neigh bor of mine once caught 49 moles in one runway in one season. Think of the future moles she el iminated. Those who are being bothered with the corn -ear worms can con trol them with arsenical dusts or with an eighth of a teaspoon of mineral oil injected into the tips of the ears when the silks begin to turn brown. ' ine cucumDer beetles are one of our worst pests. They seem to have an affinity for everything that grows be it in the flower garden or the vegetable garden. Before they .don wings -they feed on the stems and roots below the surface of the soil. Cryolite, nico tine or calcium arsenate dusts all seem effective. Both Are Persistent The western spotted beetle is just as ornery as the striped cu cumber beetle. One pound of cal cium arsenate powder mixed with 20 pounds of land plaster, make a good dust for these,, provided you are not using It ony. anything you plan to eat as green beans or let tuce or spinach. Pyrethrum should be used on spinach, lettuce and the green beans. Sow bugs may be controlled by diced vegetables such as potato or carrot, dipped or dusted with paris green placed about their haunts. Mrs. J. W. G. asks if August is the best month in which to trans plant fir trees. Ans.: August is one of the rec ommended months, but unless you have a great deal of water and will never forget to keep the soil moist, you had best wait until the rains set in. Trees always trans plant best in the rainy season. If once the roots of the firs dry out, the plant is lost beyond reclama tion. ' Leaves Necessary Mrs. G. O. R. asks if she should remove the leaves from her grapes so that the sun can shine on the fruit to ripen. Ans.: No, do not remove the leaves. The plant needs them very much. The sun should shine on the foliage rather than on the fruit. Tip back the long canes which strike out, but never cut them back closer than three or four buds from the last bunch. R. D. wants to know If it is dif ficult to eradicate yarrow from the lawn. . . ;j- ; Ans.: No, it shouldn't be. How ever, yarrow is a perennial. The flower heads are tali so are easily mowed down. A good lawn grass, well, fed will do much to choke out the yarrow. Aso it may be dug out. New soil should then be placed in the spot and grass seed planted. j Hell be thrilled to hove a picture of his child for Christmas.
