FRUIT ICE CREAMS PREVENT CHIGGERS OF VARIOUS KINDS GETTING ON SKIN Insects Can Be Kept Off By Different Flavors May Be Had as Desired Using Flowers of Sulphur. (P r e p a r e d b y t h e U n ite d S ta te s D e p a r t m e n t o f A s r lc u lt u r e .) If It Is necessary to go where chig- gers abound they may be kept off by previously sifting flowers o f sul phur Into the underclothes and stock ings, says the United States Depart ment o f Agriculture. Naphthalene, which also protects from other Insects, has been used In the same way. Vas eline, pure or mixed with sulphur, Is satisfactory except that It soils the clothing. A good hot hath, with salt or strong soap, taken Immediately after expos ure will often prevent those on the skin from “ digging In” ; hut as the presence o f the tiny insects is un fortunately not evident for some hours after going Into long grass or hushes, the only thing to do when they are discovered is to apply some cooling lotion, such ns ammonia or bicarbonate of soda, directly on the affected parts. A 10 per cent dilu tion o f carbolic acid, a dilute tinc ture o f iodine, or collodion may he used. The destruction o f wild bushes and * other places which harbor chlggers has helped to eradicate them. Private lawns and country clubs enn he made free from them to a large extent hy keeping the grass cut anil use less herbage mowed ns closely ns possible, so as to expose the chlggers to the sun. Dusting the grass and other plants with sulphur, or spray ing with dilute kerosene emulsion mixed with sulphur facilitates exter mlnntlon. Putting sheep to pasture on large acreages Is thought to get rid o f chlggers, because» It Is he- | lleved, they are nffected by the oil or lanoline 111 the sheep's wool.

Bed of Strawberries Is Favored for Table Use incom petent Reports on farm gardens indicate that In the past few years, fewer gardens are growing strawberries, in proportion to the Increase in people who would eat them.

Spray Plan for Apples The spraying program or aohedule should lie laid out with apeelflc ref erence to the orchard to be protected. Importance should be attached to Its locnlity and to the variety o f apples grown, as well as to the age and con dition o f the trees and their Imme dtate surroundings. Climate varia tions In different seasons also modify the severity o f the attack and the ease o f control o f the varions pe.it».
