Miss Farm Calendar Remove Honey From Hive—Comb honey should not be left in the hive very long after it is sealed, especially at the close of the honey flow. The bees will continue to add propolis to the sections and will stain them as long as they remain in the hive. Grow Well-Bred Cows — “Safe.” “sure” and ‘cheap” are terms which may be applied to dairy cows when home-raised, provided they are of good breeding, from healthy cows, and well grown. Cull the Poor Layers—Although culling can be practiced as soon as the chicks are hatched, nearly 40 per cent. of an average flock of hens will probably have to be culled between June and September. By eliminating the poor producers which quit: early in spite of proper feeding] and man- agement, less labor and feed will be needed to obtain equal returns from the flock. Plant Late Vegetables—Among the garden crops which can be planed in late July and early August are endive, kale, kohl-rabi, lettuce, radishes, late turnips and spinach. Keep the gar- den working for the family larder. Take Care of Flowers—Dahlias re- quire plenty of water and close culti- vation. Remove surplus buds to in- sure beautiful blooms. A dressing of bone meal will prove beneficial. Feed the Berry Patch—Strawberry beds will develop stronger and more productive runner plants if side- dressed with nitrate of soda and superphosphate. Protect the Potatoes—Flea besztles can be controlled by spraying with arsenate, say State College entomolo- gists. Add three or four pounds of the material to 100 gallons of bordeaux mixture.

The Wyoming Valley Motor Club and the Luzerne County Insurance Exchange deem it advisable to warn the motoring public against purchasing cheap substifutes for standard automobile insurance, whether sold directly as insurance or under the guise of so-called “Service Contracts.” There are certain types of so-called SERVICE CONTRACTS which are sold by solicitors, who represent said contracts as substantially as of the same nature as insurance contracts. Said solicitors, according to affidavits which we have been able to collect, represent the said contracts as furnishing in- demnity or protection against claims resulting from accidents involving bodily injury, property damage, fire, theft and collision losses. When the said contracts are actually delivered, which is always after payment has been made in advance, they are found not to furnish any eof the foregoing forms of protection. : The standard so-called SERVICE CONTRACT issued by Gyp Clubs and some detective agencies provides: (a) That, if your car is stolen, the service company will TRY TO GET IT BACK FOR YOU, but IT WILL NOT PAY FOR THE VALUE OF THE STOLEN AUTOMOBILE. (b) That, if your car is damaged by collision with another automobile, the service company will TRY. TO RECOVER A SUM FROM THE OWNER OF THE OTHER AUTOMOBILE, BUT FAILING TO COLLECT FROM SAID THIRD PARTY, the said service company WILL NOT PAY YOU FOR YOUR DAMAGE. (c) That, if your car causes personal injury or property damage ot third party and claim is made against you for damages, the service company WILL DEFEND A LAWSUIT, BUT IF THE VERDICT GOES AGAINST YOU THE SERVICE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY A LOSS. Many persons purchased the above described form of contract upon representation that they are buying insurance. Do not allow yourself to be fooled. Buy only sound insurance from reputable companies and agents: and, if in doubt, consult the Secretary of the Wyoming Valley Motor Club, the officers of the Luzerne County Insurance Exchange, or your own insur- ance agent, > o¥% D0 2% 6% 6% 0% 4% 4% 4% 4% 426 4% 1%0-4%0-¢00-420-6%0- 620-6262 420 620 420-6%0-620-4%0-4%0-6%0-630-0%0 420 o20 e20 20 20 ede S00 20-430-030-050 450 4040430430 S04 o® Pod 08 SOCIO PED G 009 $9 OP 00049 059 059 069 06% 09 09 05 ho? 08 0.00.9 00 0.9059, % : o 9.9 ¢ 0 0 0 0 3 2 3 00 0 90 & & 3 Oi Te = SA FA Sa i re RRO Ls alg gt as
