The Home Gardener Should Make
Provision to Combat Insect Ene
mies and Plant Diseases.
The home gardener must count al
; ost inevitably upon the presence in
i,:. garden of plant diseases and pests,
c ; ,vs anew Farmers’ Bulletin of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, So. 818, “The Small Vegetable
t rden.” It is pointed out that if these
are not combated they will interfere
seriously with yields or destroy the
plants.
It is hard for some gardeners to rea
lize the importance of making early
provision to combat these enemies of
plant life. It can not be too strongly
emphasized, however, that such pro
vision is of equal importance with oth
er phases of gardening and that it
should under no circumstances be
neglected. The wise gardener does not
vait for the appearance of insects and
diseases, but takes steps to combat
them by spraying the plants at rea
sonable intervals from early spring un
til his crops have been harvested, or
by other protective measures. He
thus insures himself against the like
lihood of loss.
The necessary Implements and ma
terials for protecting the home garden
against insects and diseases should be
assembled early in the season. These
consist of a substantial hand sprayer
and the necessary concentrated solu
tions, which, after dilution with water,
are to be sprayed on the plants.
The diseases which affect garden
plants may he divided into two groups,
parasitic and constitutional diseases.
The parastic maladies, such as the
blights, are caused by fungi or germs,

and usually may be prevented or con
trolled by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture. Little is known, however, of
the so-called constitutional diseases,
and little can be done to prevent their
ravages, if some malady which does
not yield to treatment with Bordeaux
mixture manifests itself on isolated
plants in fhe garden, it. may be well
to pull up these plants and burn them.
The insects which attack garden
plants may be divided into two groups
those which eat or chew the fruit or
foliage and those which suck the plant
juices. Eating insects may be killed
usually by spraying poisonous solu
tions or dusting powders on the plants
which they attack. Arsenate of lead is
the poison in most general use for this
purpose. This substance is poisonous
to persons as well as to insects and
must be used with care. It should not
be applied to vegetables that are to
be used soon. All vegetables should be
hashed carefully before they are eat
en, regardless of whether (hey have
been sprayed.
Most of the garden plants may be
guarded against disease and at the
same time protected from attack by
eating insects by spraying at intervals
of two weeks with a combination of
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of
lead.
Other methods of protecting plants
from the larger eating insects are to
pick the pests by hand or knock them
with a stick into a pan containing
water on which a thin film of kerosene
is floating. Insects collected by hand
should be destroyed promptly. Young
plants may be protected by setting
over them wooden frames covered
with mosquito netting, wire mesh, or
cheesecloth. Cutworms may be kept
from plants by setting tin or paper
collars into the ground around the
stalks.
Sucking insects, such as plant lice,
can not be killed by poisoning the sur
face of the leaves and fruit, since they
feed by puncturing the plants and ex
tracting tho internal juices. Poisons
which will kill by contact or substanc
es which envelop and smother the
pests are, therefore, employed against
the sucking insects. The principal
remedies of this sort are niedtine so
lutions, fish-oil and other soap solu
tions, and kerosene emulsion.
The gardener should remember that
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLF. NEWS, MAY 10. 1017,
many plant diseases and insects exist
in the garden from year to year. At
the end of the growing season, there
fore, the garden should be carefully
cleaned of rubbish, the stems of
plants, leaves, etc. It is necessary to
burn this debris promptly, as any dis
ease spores or insects which may be
present are then surely destroyed.
Gardeners desiring additional infor
mation in regard to insects affecting
the vegetable garden should apply di
rect to the Bureau of Entomology,
United States Department of Agricul
ture, but it should be understood that
there is no publication covering the
entire subject. Specimens of Insects
with some account of food plants and
ravages should accompany corres
pondence.- Weekly News Letter.
GARDEN CULTIVATION.
Never Permit Soil to Become Baked
or to Form a Crust.
The importance of thorough and
continuous cultivation in the home
vegetable garden Is pointed out in a
new T Farmers’ Bulletin of the United
States Department of Agriculture, No.
818, “The Small Vegetable Garden.”
After the seeds have sprouted or after
the plants have been set in their per
manent location, continued cultiva
tion becomes necessary.
The gardener should never permit
the surface of the soil to become
baked or even to form an appreciable
crust. Constant stirring with hand
tools or a wheel cultivator should be
practiced between the rows and about
the plants. Such a stirring permits
the air to penetrate the soil, where it
facilitates chemical action and bac
terial activity, destroys weeds which
otherwise would utilize large amounts
of plant food, and, finally, conserves
the moisture supply. The rake is per
haps the gardener's most valuable
tool is cultivating. This can be passed
backward and forward over the
ground until it is in an open, mellow
condition. Where vegetables grow
closely in the rows it often will be
necessary to supplement the cultiva
tion by hand weeding. Small imple
ments are made for this purpose, and
may be purchased cheaply. It is well
also in some cases to pull up weeds by
hand, especially where they grow
“LIBERTY LOAN” BONDS
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
The first offering of government
I konds authorized under the war
. finance law’, popularly known as the
I Liberty Loan,” is now open to popu
; lar subscription.
“These Bonds,” says Mr. Wellborn,
Chairman of the Board of the Federal
I Reserve Bank, of Atlanta, “are offered
j tc the public at par; and subscriptions
j will be-Teceived until June 15, 1917.
These bonds will be dated July Ist,
j bearing an interest rate of 3 1-2 per
j cent, payable semi-annually, January
J Ist and July Ist. The maturities will
j be announced later.
‘‘ln accordance with the provisions
of the act, should the government later
on issue bonds bearing a higher rate
of interest, the present Issue will be
convertible into bonds of the higher
rate. The Federal Reserve Banks have
closely about the stalks of the garden
plants.
Stirring the Soil After Rains.
Just as the gardener should be care
ful in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist, so
he should he careful later in the sea
son not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring of very muddy soil
“puddles” it into a compact, cement
like mass in which the plant food is
securely locked. The garden will re
quire attention, however, as soon as
the excess moisture from ,a rain has
soaked in or partially evaporated. Un
less the ground is stirred at this time
a crust will form almost inevitably.
Such a crust, besides restricting the
plants, prevents the access of air, and
also facilitates the loss of moisture
through evaporation.
Irrigation.
When, during prolonged dry spells,
the plants give evidence of suffering
because of the lack of moisture, water
must, if possible, be supplied artifical
ly. Where a supply of piped water is
at hand, perhaps the most usual meth
od of irrigation is by sprinkling with
a hose. If sprinkling is practiced it
should be done lffte in the afternoon.
It is not sufficient merely to dampen
the surface; a thorough wetting should
be given. A more satisfactory and
more economical method of irrigation,
however, is to open small furrows be
tween the rows of growing plants and
to supply water in these ditches from
a hose or pipe. Several hours after
the water has soaked in, the dry earth
should be drawn back into place.—

been designated as Federal Agents i
and all subscriptions should be made .
to tho Federal Reserve Bank of this j
district, either direct or through banks
or other agencies co-operating with
the Federal Reserve Bank, of Atlanta.”
Mr. Wellborn further stated: “This
is the most stupendous piece of flnanc- j
ing the greatest patriotic undertaking j
ever attempted by the American peo- j
pie, and the result is 'not for an in
stant in doubt.
“I am sure the press will willingly j
give publicity as an aid in promoting |
the prompt sale of the first issue of j
bends. This is not a bond issue for !
consumption by banks and brokers '
alone, but the denominations of bonds
will be so arranged that even the
small savings of the country can be
profitably and patriotically invested.
“The young men of the nation are
called on to fight the battle in the
trendies, and every man and woman
should do their share in providing the
means of furnishing the soldier the
food and equipment necessary to vic
tory. An opportunity is afforded for
practical display of patriotism. Large
business concerns can encourge the
sale by purchasing bonds and selling
to employees yn monthly payments.
“Asa safe investment, these bonds
have privileges. They
are not subject to Federal, State oi*
Local taxation; they are convertible
into bonds of a higher interest rate;
they are the highest type of collateral
on loans in the event of emergency;
and after the war they will probably
go to a premium. For instance, in Jan
uary. 1917, ‘U. S. Panama Canal
Bonds’ sold at a premium, 103 1-4,
bearing an Interest rate of only 3 per
cent. These were non-circulating privi
lege bonds, similar to the present is
sue.
“The outward expression of Ameri
can patriotism should be,
“I own a ‘Liberty Loan’ War-Bond.”
