PESTS OF THE HOME DESCRIBED FOR QUICK KILLING Injurious Insects and Diseases Classified According to Vegetable Varieties How to Cope With Them Successfully and Save Crops By JOHN BARTRAM "1AHDEN pests can he controlled by I J proper and systematic spraying or dust ing formulas for the sprays herein recom mended for specified vegetables were printed In this department Saturday, June 23. CAnilAOn plants do not naturally have perforated or ragged leaves The common green cabbage worm, the cabbage looper nnd the tiny caterpillar of the diamond back moth cause tho principal leaf damage. All are chewing larvae and are readily poisoned with arsenical. Apply powdered lead arsenate, one part, to five to ten parts of plaster parls oi slaked lime with a duster as soon as the earliest Injury Is noted. There Is no danger of poisoning tho cab bage head for human consumption unless It should crack open when about grown. Usually treatments aro not needed after that time. , The larva of the cabbage maggot attacks the cabbage stem nt the ground line, gnaw lng off the succulent bark. The plants break oft or wilting occurs. The maggot lays Its eggs at the base of the plant. Its dislike of creosote and to crawling under any, object are utilized to good advantage In prevent ing Its ravages by placing a creosoted disk of paper around the stem of the plant when It Is set In tho field. The cabbago worm Is another vegetable enemy Tho white or yellow cabbage but terflies so often seen In tho spring lay their eggs on tho leaves of tho cabbage, and the larvae hatched from these eggs feed on tho leaves When tho butterflies are observed, the plants should be dusted, preferably when wet with dew, with a mixture of ono nart of powdered arsenato of lead and nine tUrts slaked lime. Before the cabbage is mature the arsenate will have been washed off. OAUMFOTVEIl, KADIS1I, CAlHIAai! and il'TTUCK are attacked by cabbago aphis o'r 'cabbage plant louse, a sott-bodlcd, awk ward grayish or green-colorcd bug. It feeds by sucking tho plant lulces. Plants attacked aro stunted and many fall to head at all. Control measures consist of spraying with tobacco solution. "'A,. :. m rrons. the CAMIAGK, TUB- vii nnd 1IAIUSH aro subject to a disease known as club root, which takes Its namo from abnormal enlargements produced on the roots This disease prevents tho plants from developing normally.

Badly diseased plants should bo "voTATOF.S Spray vines with bordeaux arsenate for Colorado beetle, blight, etc. ONIONS The onion maggot, the chief enemy, is the young stage of a small, two winced fly. The parent dies hatch In the spring when the onion plants are Just showing through the ground. Kegs are usually laid around the base of the onion nlant. at or Just under the surfaco of the soil These eggs hatch In a few days, and the' young maggots burrow at once Into the tender plants. The maggots attain their full growth In two or three weeks and then the files emerge. There may be two or moro broods the same season. Poison bait, flavored with choped onions. U a suggested remedy, but not Infallible. It should not be left In reach of children, chickens or domestla animals. HIIANS, bush or pole, must not be worked when they are damp because It will spot them. The spot Is caused by anthracnose, a fungous disease. These spotn are small brownish or purplish dlscoloratlons at first, but they become larger, and the center turns dark and Is sunken. Where several of these spots are close together they coalesce, making one large Irregular spot. Stems, leaves and fruit are Infected, but It Is the pods where most of the damage Is done. Infected beans are unsightly and, while they can bo used, are of no use for market purposes. . To avoid trouble from this disease, buy seed of varieties supposes to De free from It. If the seed la home grown, select It from pods not Infected Then spray with bordeaux mixture. When the weather is mol.it and humid Make frequent spraying (every seven to tet days), but In dry weather the Intervals can bo longer. Do not pick beans or cultivate when wet. The disease may spread after the beans are picked, so It Is advisable to use them as soon as possible. Bean blight, caused by a bacterium, Is often confused with anthracnose on the pods. The Irregular water-soaked areas resultli.g from bean blight are not sunken or so sharply defined as those from an thracnoie. The leaves show large brown, watery patches which later dry and be come p.ipery In texture. The disease Is carried over on the seeds. Remove and destroy badly diseased plants and keep down Insects, which assist In the spread of the organisms. CUCUMHKK8, MU8KMKLON8, squash, pumpkins and othor cucubitaceous vege tables are often affected by tiny green melon aphlds, sucking the plant Juices from the under side of the foliage. Very rapid reproduction accounts for their sud den appearance In countless and destructive numbers. Watch plants closely for first appearance of aphlds and treat Immediately with great thoroughness. Spray under side of foliage with nicotine solution or strong tobacco decoction In soapsuds. Follow up with weekly sprays, If necessary, until pest Is under control. Greatest damage Is done to young plants, hence early treatment Is most Important. The oommon yellow and black striped cucumber beetle causes damage to cucu bitaceous plants. The adult beetles feed on and destroy the new leaves, a damage very apparent This beetle lays ergs about the plant from which develop tiny white, thrtad.IIke laryae, which burrow and tun nel In the stems Just at the surface of the ground. This Injury often causes sudden wilting; and death of Ptnls. ' rvntroi hy avMVlMr or 4utln Mevnt fr- ..... .fMft.

OFFICIALS FROM VACATION Secretary of Interior Leads Protestants Against "No Vacationists," Headed by President Wilson WASHINGTON", July B. America Is working too hard at making war. This is the opinion of Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane. American officials nro passing up their vacations this year be cause of the pressure of war work, Secre tary Lane asserts. He points out that this Is the way to decrease the efficiency of the war against Germany, and Is carrying on a campaign of "vacations as usual." President Wilson heads tho list of the antl-vacatlonlstB. Tho President has made formal announcement that he will take no vacation this year and will be In Washing ton during the entire summer, with the exception of short week-end trips down the Potomao on the Mayflower. Even on these trips he wilt be In constant touch with Washington by wireless. With this precedent staring them In the face, Cabinet members are reluctant to drop their work for a summer vacation This policy Is even finding Its way Into the departments and many clerks will be forced to forgo the usual summer trip.

These are of nn entirely different type from our con ception of thJ word The only bungalows to be seen In India are the "rest houses" erected by the L'ngllsh Government along the main roads of travel These are lans or hotels, consisting of a large central building with a hall In the center, the kitchen and bedrooms In separate wings, a low rambling mass with wide veranda over hanging ene. floors of stone or concrete, and single story construction There is never a second-story, never Delivery A Case Now Pending in the Court of Common-sense Among thoughtful people, Mrs. Housewife, far-reachirtg, keen-witted evidence is so overwhelmingly in favor of NO DELIVERY OF GOODS, which is simply in line with the Government program of "war economy," that the verdict is sure to uphold our elimination of this needless expense. In a recent article in THE NORTH AMERICAN by Mrs. Anna B. Scott, the noted cooking expert and food economist, the bone of contention (the delivering of goods) is so thoroughly stripped of all logically sustaining substance that there 'is little left for the idea of "free" delivery to feed upon. We reprint the article here that all who doubt may read. No Delivery and the Cost of Living liy Mrs. Anna B. Scott FOR years I have told my friends that delivery tervico for small pur chases and marketing by phone were big factors in the high rot of living. The announcement mado this week that phone and delivery service aro to be cut out of a large number of (tores, to help keep down llic ever-rising price of food, is in lino with my contention. Delivery service grew up first at an accommodation for the rich, who were able and billing to pay for it. The cost, instead of being charged to those who got the service, was added to tho price of commodities. Then the masses of purrhaters began to demand the service, and, of course, tho cost was increased. With the general use of the telephone for marketing delivery of purchases beramo almost universal. An illustration of what it costs camo to my attention recently, when a purchase of eighty rents' worth of meat at a downtown market wai delivered in Chestnut Hill. The gasoline alono cost twent)-six cents, and, in addition, there were the wages of the driver and the wear and tear on machinery. Those who want delivery service are entitled to it if llicy pay for it. Iiut this ought to be a separate charge. And the great mass of btivcrs should go to the store and carry their goods home, gelling the benefit of the saving. Thero should also be a rock-bottom price for rash customers, while those who impose the added cost of a charge account should be made to pay for it. These suggestions in operation, will greatly redure the cost of living to the people who buy the cheapest way. thrifty people is right in line with the thought of KEEPING DOWN THE PRICES TO THE VERY LOWEST FIGURE.

In adapting this style of building to our needs, ue rcallie at the very outset that there are two forces working against the adoption of the true bungalow character istics One of these Is the element of cost A building with nil tho rooms on the ground floor Is the most expensive kind to build There Is more wall surface and roof area In proportion to the Inclosed space than In the two-story house Then thero is tho prejudice against having our bedrooms on the ground level. In India the deep air space Inclofed in the roof Is a necessary protection against the burning heat of the sun. We do not need this protection; there fore, this spaco can be made Into rooms. But In order to light these rooms wo need dormer windows, and with the addition of these the attractive simplicity of the room is at once lost and the building loses Its true bungalow character So If we wish to call our house a bungalow, let us decide to hao all the rooms on the first floor.
