Hints to Gardeners j by Gilbert Bentley Hower Expert Ferry Seed Institute Flower Pests and Diseases AN effective way to defeat certain flower diseases is, of course, to plant disease-resistant strains such as rust-resistant snapdragon and wilt-resistant aster. But the only way to combat insect pests is to spray or dust plant:- with insecticides. An early season pest is leaf beetle, a chewing Insect whose presence is indicated by holes in the leaves. It is found most often on alyssum, zin nia, marigold and annua! phlox. Leaf beetles can be successfully con trolled by using stomach poisons in the form of sprays containing arsen icals or pyrethrum. Snapdragon, aster, petunia and verbena are the principal victims of the cutworm, a chewing insect which cuts plants off at the ground. To combat it, place about a spoon ful of poison bran bait around the base of each plant. Aphis, sucking insects, bother al most all the popular flowers with the exception of zinnia. They pro mote wilting and cause crumpling and discoloration of leaves. A con tact poison (pyrethrum or nicotine sulphate base) should be sprayed or dusted on the plants. Downy mildew is a disc - found almost anywhere flowers are gion n. It shows up white all over the plant and discolors to black, killing !-.\>ves and causing stems to rot.. Zinnia is its particular prey, although pe tunia. phlox and others aiso arc affected. Ms a remedy, flowers of sulphur may' be dusted on very lightly, and the treatment repeated. Take a big step toward elimina tion of all pests generally by burn ing garden waste and u sh. os; ■ dally any diseased stalks o? lc es. at the close of the season. Hello, Chicago!

Sprink ling requires the m e of more water and is less thorongli. To get better am: larger blossoms, cease watering when buds appear. For a continuation of bloom, pick flowers regularly. This is most im portant with sweet peas and pans ies. less so with petunias. VEGETABLES: Avoid the com mon mistake of lotting vegetables grow too large before picking. Younger a:-;. , ire more tender, more ncurishing and more pala table. With n 1-trgo p rcenlage of the vegetables, get them comparatively early. Root crop -radish, carrot, beet—are at their best when hardly half j&own. Pick peas just before pods fill out completely. Pii :: corn just nt the “milk” stage, that i . wh -a the ker nel, gouged with the finger nail, yields a milky juice. Use summer squash when small, soon after the bloom ha--, dropped off.

In 1936, Georgia homes used an average oi 1,076 kilowatt hours” per home — 48 per cent more than the rat average of 725 kilowatt hours per home. In 1936, Georgia homes showed an ave-iigc increase ol 153 kilowatt hours—just exactly THREE TIMES tlic increase of 51 kilowatt hours. These figures, in themselves, are proof of Georgia’s progres siveness. And they take on deeper significance when we translate them into labor-saving devices, time-saving appliances, modem comforts and up-to-date conveniences, which have rid so many Georgia homes forever of the life-consuming burdens of a decade ago. This is a record which has added years of youth and happi ness to the lives of Georgia women. And it is a record that is giowing brighter with each suc ceeding year! * This is the average for ALL Georr/ia iL-tri' til Hit i'S, privately anti publicly oi-ocl. Far ahead of this figure was the 1936 record of the, Georgia Power Company alone •—an average of 1,183 kilowatt hours, or 63 per cent more than the national average. GEORGIA POWER COMPANY MORE LIGHT, MORE LEISURE, FOR GEORGIA HOMES that the proposed fore^oirm amend ment to the Constitution is submitted, for ratification or rejection, to the voters of the State qualified to vote for members of the General Assembly at the General Election to be held on Tuesday, June 8, 1937.
