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, FREE OF CHARGE.

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.— Weekly News Letter. 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.” HOW THIS MOTHER Got Strength To Do Her Work Fair Haven, Vt. — ir l was so nervoui and run down that I cculd not do my housework for my little family of three I had doctored for nearly two yeari without help.
