BACKYARD GARDEN PESTS
‘While the gardener must contend
with many kinds of insects which at-
tack his crops in every conceivable
way he can combat these pests sue-
cessfully if he mobilizes his forces
in time. i
The cutworm is among the earlier
pests. A cutworm attacks in , sub- |
marine fashion and usually at night.
He shows no periscope before he
chewed off at the ground line. ~~

work and the good money it brings.
The boundary line formed by the Rio
Grande is so long and fortuous, that
our little army of sanitarians is not
able to prevent many of the Mexicans
from coming into eur midst without
Any. sa’ Lary treatment. The danger
obvious. :
_ There is, at present, a good amount
of scientific evidence that the cause
of typhus fever ds a bacillus that is
found in the body of lice feeding on
typhus fever patients. While the
scientific workers continue to pursue
to prove further ‘the guilt of the
bacillus for our typhus fever, we are
fortunate to know that whatever it
may be is carried in the body louse,
and there is a fair degree of sus-
picion that the head louse may also
carry the organism. °
The body louse delights in woolen
clothing and can make itself very
much at home in cotton spun ma-
terial.
To prevent the introduction of ty-
phus fever from Mexico into the
States, no Mexican should be trans-
ported across the boundary line with-
out a permit, given by the United
States Bureau of Public Health Ser-
vice. Al health officers should be on
the lookout for the newly-arrived
Mexicans, who are now settling in
construction camps. and, around the
centers of the great industries, and
when these foreigners are found and
fail to show a ¢lean bill of health,
they should be examined for lice, If
these are found, the clothes of the
patient should be burned and the
body should be shaven, washed and
wrapped in a sheet soaked with a mix-
ture of one-half kerosene and one-
half vinegar, while the head should
be wrapped in cheese cloth which has
been soaked in this same mixture.
In looking for. the lice, it is well to
remember that when you begin to
strip the clothing they immediately
make their retreat into its fabric. This
makes it very essential to examine
the clothing and, if lice are found
there, it is certain that there are some
on the body and therefor® the pro-
cess of ‘disinfecting is essential. 4
If conditions will not permit of the
destruction of “clothing, it should be
baked until all signs of life have been
destroyed, or boiled in water for at
least twenty minutes. -
If infected lice are carried across
our border into our midst typhus
fever may become epidemic in many

into crowded housing conditions,

A simple means of arming trans-
planted crops against cutworm at-
tack is to wrap the plant with paper
when it is set in the permanent bed.
This collar should extend two or
three inches into the ground and pro- |
trude the same distance above the
ground.

tack should be protected by. dropping

‘The larva of the cabbage maggot | fish gain, if not because of the moral |.
attacks the cabbage stem at the
ground line, gnawing off the succu-
lent bark. The plants break off or
wilting occurs. Control of the mag-
got is difficult. 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 preventing its ravages
by placing a creosoted disk of paper
around the stem of the plant when it
is set in the field. :
The cabbage worm is another wveg-
etable enemy. The white or yellow
cabbage butterflies so often seen in
the spring lay their eggs on the leaves
of the cabbage and the larvae hatch-
ed from these eggs feed on the leaves.
‘When the butterflies are observed, the
plants should be dusted, preferably
when wet with dew, with a mixture of
one part of powdered arsenate of
lead and nine parts slaked lim~. Be-
fore the cabbage is mature the arse-
nate will have been washed off.
Cabbage aphis or cabbage plant
louse is sometimes troublesome. It is
a softbodied, awkward, grayish: or
greencolored bug. It feeds by
sucking the plant juices. Plants at-
tacked by the aphis are stunted and
may fail to head at all. Control
measures consist of spraying with a
tobacco solution made by mixing nico- |
tine sulphate, commercial form, one
part with 500 parts water. A home-
made substitute may be prepared by
boiling gently for an hour one pound
of whole or ground tobacco stems in
one gallon of water. This liquid is
mixed with one to two parts of water.
The spray must hit the bugs to be of
service.
Preparedness in the garden will
offset insect ravages, but eternal vig-
ilance is neceasary.

Sells the Champion Cream Saver
TE NEW DE LAVAL —
LMOST any separator will do fairly good work when it is
brand new, perfectly adjusted and skimming warm milk
from freshened cows.
But a separator cam’t always be new, cows can’t always be
fresh, nor can you always separate your milk while it is at 85
) . In other words, your separating is done under
practical conditions, and the sensible thing to do is to get a prac-
tical separator. i
The NEW De Laval is the most
practical separator you can buy
because it is the only separator that you can depend upon to skim
clean under any and all conditions of milk and temperature, and
to deliver cream of uniform thickness.
If you want to own a separator that will do
its work better than any other, and do it
without constant tinkering and adjustment,
then the NEW De Laval is the machine to
buy.
‘While this statement has always been true
of De Laval machines, it is true today to an
even greater degree than ever before because
of the many improvements in the NEW De
a
val.
The new self-centering bowl which gives the
machine greater capacity and skimming efi-
ciency, the De Laval bell speed-indicater, °
which alone would be worth many dollars a
year to a cow owner, the improved auto-
matic oiling system and’ the many other im-
provements found in no other make Oo
machine, make the NEW De Laval by far the
most satisfactory separator to operate gand
the most profitable to own.
You can buy a NEW De Laval from ug on
liberal terms. Come in and examine the
machine and talk it over.
