Many of the most injurious species of insects have passed the winâ€" ter in or under old plant refue near the garden. Such should be gathered up and burned, or handed over to the garbage man, in early spring before the warm weather has lured the insects from hibernation. The eggs of many species are laid in the autumn on grass and weeds growing in or surrounding the garden. The burning over of such areas destroys these eggs as well as many adults and larvae hidden away in the dead and matted grass near the soil surfce. difficult to solve is the perennial one, namely, how to control insects that apâ€" pear to be present each year waiting for the young seedlings to peep through the soil. Sturdy, rapidlyâ€"growing plants ar> less liable to attack than weak, spindly onesâ€"for this reason seedlings should be induced to get away to a quick start by careful preparation of the soil, the liberal use of fertilizers and intelligent choice of planting dates.

In the vegetable garden cutworms may be looked for almost with cerâ€" tainty. Other insects which commonly occur are the onion maggot, cabbage worm, Colorado potato bectle, slugs (particularly in damp situations) and, under ~certain circumstances, wireâ€" worms, millipedes and white grubs. Growers interested in the production of flowers have to fear chiefly cutâ€" worms, tarnish plant bugs, aphids, lsafhoppers, boring caterpillars of difâ€" ferent species, gladiolus thrips, milliâ€" pedes and slugs. ‘Cairo People Shocked at News of Death of Mon- ~arch.

Crown Prince Farouk, 16 years old and now attending school in Great Britain will come to the throne undsr a regency until his 18th birthday. Fuad, who celebrated his 68th birthâ€" day anniversary March 26, had been in indifferent health many months. He had never fully recovered from his serious iliness of 1934 when numerous foreign specialists were summoned to the summer palace at Montazah.

Mohammsd repeatedly revolted against Turkish overlordship. He eventually succeeded in securing for himself the hereditary viceâ€"royalty of the country, and Ahmed Fuad was the ninth of the line of the dynasty which the â€" redoubtable Albanian chieftain founded. The outbreak of the World War found the then Khedive of Egypt, Abbas Hilmi, in Constantinople and hostile to the allied cause. The control of the Suez Canal, the gateway between East and West, became a matter of paramount importanc?:, and when three months later the Sultan of Turkey enâ€" tered the war as an ally of the Gerâ€" manic empires, Great Britain at once proceedeq to sever the formal tie which still united Egypt to the Ottoman Emâ€" pire, and proclaimed a British protecâ€" torate. Abbas was deposed, and the rulership conferred upon his uncle Hussein Kemel, with the title of Suitan. Hussein, however, died in 1917; his son declineg the succession, and the British Government selected for the sultanate his young:st brother, Ahmed Fuad. The British protectorate was declared ended on February 28, 1922. Egypt became an independent kirgdom, and Sultan Ahmed Fuad assumed the regal status, amid a good deal of nationalist turbulence, on March 15, 1922. Ahmedâ€"Fuad was born at the Gizeh Palace, Cairo, on March 16, 1868. He began life under no happy star. The youngest son of the fourth Khedive Ismail, who died in 1895, leaving 12 children, his youth was passed in Italy, after the debacle of his spendthrift father who was forced to abdicate by the Angloâ€"French dual control. When in the ‘nineties he returned to Egypt as a young arq rather needy, princeling, th> then Khedive Abbas Hilmi, his nephsw, anpointed him his aideâ€"deâ€" camp. Prince Fuad, as he then was, could have had no inkling of the glittering future that awaited him. Indeed, had his brotherâ€"inâ€"law, another khedival prince, taken better aim when he levelâ€" ed his revolver at him in the fashionâ€" able Cairo Native Club, another Pharâ€" ach would have reigned in Egypt. Recovered From Wound But Prince Fuad recovered from his dangerous wound, although a curious nervous reaction of the throat muscles, half laugh, half cough, remained a reâ€" minder of this incident.

Would Your Town be Better if All Were Like You Are Hers‘s a noser from the Glasgow Herald that will apply to any place: A ce pig on The numerous siot machines in cigar stores, restaurants, hotels, pool rooms, drug stores ang other places in Timâ€" mins have all been padlocked this week. The padlocking was done by the ownâ€" erg. of the machines, following sugâ€" gestions from the authorities. It is unâ€" derstood that there is a suggestion that the town pass a byâ€"law licensing these slot machines, thus making revenue from them as well as being in better position to control them. Other towns and cities have followed this license plan, and apparently it works well. One town, for instance, charges $100 for the first machine and $25 for each subsequent machine in any other store or other place. The machines are cerâ€" itamly popular and it is held that they are not all gambling devices. Some of them, it is claimed, are games of skiil, ltrom which many derive a great decl of amusement and pleasure. On the other hand, objection is taken in genâ€" eral to the machines on the ground that they are gambling devices. Parâ€" ticular objection is taken to the idea that youngsters are allowed to play these machines, with general bad reâ€" Isults. Youngsters bitten by the slot maâ€" chine bug are accuseq of doing all sorts of improper things to secure money to play their favourite machine. Under a town license plan the revenue from the machines would run into a large sum, if there were as many machines under license as there have been without. If the number were reduced, the town would not have any particular cause to worry. In any event the town would have a more direct control over the | machines and could easily refuse license to any that were simply gambling deâ€" lvices. It woulq appear to be good busiâ€" ness from all standpoints for the town to put on a stiffâ€"license feeâ€"say $100 for each and every machine. Council Mafll’ua Byâ€"law to ee and Otherwnse Regulate : Deâ€" On several occasions the police have closed up the slot machine business in the town, but though the machines would be withdrawn then, in a few months other slot machines would be installed for business. In each case the new machines would be claimed to be within the law, it being alleged in each case that they were games of skill and not gambling devices. It is only a short time ago that all the slot machines were removed from local places on the sugâ€" gestion ‘of the police. Then they cams back again. This time the machin‘gs have been left at their places, but each one has been padlocked and remains idle, pending decision or action on the part of the council, it is understood. It is said that Mayor Bartleman and Councillor Cousins trieq out these maâ€" chines a few nights ago and enquired asâ€"to â€"how theyâ€"were operated,; how they paid and so on. The closing of the maâ€" chines followed the visit, but the fact that the machines have not been reâ€" moved is taken as support for the idea that the situation is to be met by some form of license.
