food. When tho lady bugs uro present
In numbers early In the season not
much trouble) with aphlda may bo ex
pected, but if thoy appear late the
aphids itenernlly do much damage.
When aphids aro een spray tho
Insects with black leaf forty, tho nico
tine spray, one-half pint to 50 gallons
of water (or one teaapoonfnl to one
irallon: or two tabtespoonfiita to 12 4

spray on the underside of leave where
the aphlda aro resiinjr. Ulark leaf
forty is made much more effectlvo
by adding about two pounda of soap
to SO gallons of the diluted spray, or
altout one pound of lime, (Use one
ounce soap to one gallon oC wattr for
smalt quantities.)
Ladybutcs are small rMdlah or reddish-brown
beetles, with or without
spots on their backs. They vat aphids
and other soft-bodieJ small insects.
Tho egs aro laid on the under side
of the leaves of plants. The hatch

dragon-like creatures. The larvae are
very voracious and active, eutlntf up

the ladybuea and their larvao, as they
are valuable friends of the gardener.

The root uitiKitota nro tho tmatl
white Kiuba which reed on tho under
ground portion of radishes, tin nips,
oablMiRoH. broccoli, knle, onions, ruta
bagas and sometimes beans. The pest
either kills tho plant a or icudeis them
until for food.
A great many remedies have been
advanced to control those peats, but
no ono remedy ha been found gen
era My successful on nil oroi- In
cluht yea i experimental work at the
station hero the most satisfactory con
trol measure that has been found for
(rttnsplante. era), audi as cabbages,
broccoli and kale la the tarred felt
roofing paper collar. These aro cut
and placed about th atem of tits
Pnnt and He flat on tho ground. The
dirt must he kept off the paper. The
nvt best control haa bssn dipping tho
rcotg of tho plums just before, plant
ing out In the field, In n solution of
one ounce of load nrsonate In ouo
quart of water. Kor such crops as
radishes, turnips, etc., grown on a
small scale, screening the beds with
cheesecloth or other material having
about 20 threads to the Inch haa been
found satisfactory In excluding the
fllea which lay the ettg. Kor H
crops tt ia often possible by cultural
methods to greatly lessen the loss.
In many cases crops seeded or trans,
planted about the last of June will bo
little damaged.
The uxc of a solution of mercuric
chtt-rlde at 1 to 1000 strength has
Kiven pood results In other parts of
tho country. A cupful of the solu
tion Is (MMtrad about the plants at
intervals of about two weeks until
thre or four applications have been
made
Cutworms are plump, fair sited
vorr. one to two Inches In length,
variously colored with shades of
rtfeiiiah-vcllow. rav brown or black.
Tho worms nro most active at night
and renerally work by cutting off
young plant Just at or below the ur-
race oi me ground, some aimw imi
on onto the ltlunta and eat the foliage.
The remedy Is to spread poison bait
on the ground. This may be broad
cast or placed in piles, Tho bait
should bo spread In tho evening. Make
as ro'lo.vn: Uran, 20 pounds; parla
given, l pound; molasses or any
syrup, 3 quarts: ornnitca or lemons, 3
fruits; water, gallons.
Mix th dry bran and tho pari

into water and then chop the peel Into
Mta and add that to the water. Add
the molasse to the water and then
wet the bran and poison with It. Stir
to dampen thoroughly and to make

The wlroworm are tne yenow, i

thu larvae of the click beetle which
are abundant on fruit tree buds and
blooms in tho spring. The wireworms

peas, boons and others when they ore
planted, and also cause damage bor-l
lug Into potato tubers. !
Tho wireworms exist in tne inrvai
stage for from one to three years be
fore transforming to beetles, mo uest
method for their control Is the use j
of a trap crop. Cut pieces of old bal

They can be killed by an application
of tho black leaf forty solution, H
pint to 60 gallons of water. In ap
plying this umtvilut It must be put
on so as to strike up under the leaves
as the peat occupies thu lowsr shle of
the leaves usually.
The leaf hoppera aro small winged
Insects that fly up In clouds from

young thu hoppers appear much llko
aphids on the under side of Iho leave.
They attack various veantahlea, such
as put aloes, celery, corn and most all
plains when Du y are abundant. They
can be killed by spraying wllh black
leaf forty early In the eoaxon before
thoy acquire wtngs. After the Insects
get wings they cannot be destroyed

turbed. Milllped are commonly known fts
"thousnud-legited worms." Tbey can

Tho large white curved grubs are
