The onlylthing the writer` has found ef- fective to rid lawns of them is a com- mercial preparation called anticide.

Arsenate of lead and parls green are ground a strong tendency to `burn foliage. Leaf and Stem Eaters The underground tribe of leaf and stem eaters are sometimes a bit hard- er to get rid of because of the diffi- culty of finding out `just which of, them is doing the damage. Rootlice. cutworms, white" grubs. house-fly mag- gots and ants are the commonest of these underground enemies. Root lice being sucking insects must be got at with .a contact p'olson, and there is none better than a good 2 per cent. tobacco dust sprinkled thickly around the plants. It will act as a fertilizer rather than do any harm to vegeta- tion. Cut worms are soon killed off y if one spreads a sweetened poisoned mixture around at `night.

It is the safest formost plants, and when used with water. will not burn foliage. One and one-half- ounces to two gallons of water. will make a solution that will kill off most of our leaf-eating pests. For cabbages and cauliflowers before the heads in the latter have formed. arsenate of lime is most effective if used as a powder. One part arsenate to four parts dehydrated lime is a good combination. This dust will also dis- pose of cucumber beetles. After the heads have formed in cauliflowers, one mustbe careful -with poisons, both because some may be retained in the head and many of them tend to dis- color the heads. One ounce of Keat- ing s-powder dissolved in 11,43 gallons of water. may be used at this time with perfect safety and will usually finish up the green worms it is sent `after.

It is of the greatest importance that the manufacturer's directions for the application of poisons _be followed closely. .Even poisons, bearing the same name, may differ` very mater- ially,in strength and at least until onehas proved to his own satisfaction that the directions do not give suf- ficient strength, it is wise to` follow them implicitly. Poisons intelligently applied.` according to directions", are so diluted that they are harmless to vegetation and to animal life, unless devoured in large quantities. I 1:`...

For dusting. the active poisons must be diluted with some inexpensive powder. Dehydrated lime is frequently used for this purpose and can be counted upon to work well through the bellows or dust gun. It is worth noting that when a cheap grade of flour can be obtained. mixed with the poison and allowed to stand tightly covered for a day or two before application the poisonous effect is much more widely spread.athe flour itself having become poisoned. ' Spraying or Dusting It is noticeable that the practice of spraying so generally advocated a few was appointed British consols for Economical Tmnspgrjation. Challenges Comparison The tremendous increases in sales of Chevrolet are -ample evidence that Chevrolet will stand up under hard usage and give real service. `T V c1sao Ask us about the GMAC Deferred Payment Plan Chevrolet economy is still further evidenced after its purchase. It costs least per mile in consumption of gas, oil and tires. It `also costs least per yearsfor maintenance. A standard Chevrolet car is a fully equipped car-it is `not necessary to spend a dollar more than the purchase price to make it complete. There are no extras to be bought.

Those which eat foliage are most effectively disposed of by the use of poisonous insecticides, while the Juice sucking varieties must be killed by contact poisons. Arsenate of lime. arsenate of lead. paris green and hellebore. are the commonly used and most efficient stomachic poison. Less poisonous but nevertheless often quite strong enough are bug death. fir tree oil soap, kerosene (coal oil) emulsion. slug shot, pyrox. etc. Ar- senate of lime is usually -the least ex- pensive of the lot and is very generally effective.
