mHERE are two classes of insects against which the gardener has constantly to be on guard. One variety Is commonly known as the "biting" or "chewing” species. They attack the foliage and often | fruits of tiie plant In this class belong potato bugs, cabbage worms, most caterpillars and other pest#. Arsenate of lead will ordinarily dispose of them. But the preparation must be handled with care, as it is a poison. You can best apply It with a common hand-spray pump. Parle green la also an effective insecticide. To prepare it for use. mix one spoonful of paris green with ten spoorfuls of slaked lime. Mix thoroughly and then empty on a square piece of cheesecloth. Next pick up the four corners of the Improvised bag thus formed and go through your rows, gently shaking the contents over the plants Wash Vegetables After using such poisons be very sure to wash the vegetables thoroughly before using. For combating sucking insects rang ing in size from a needle-point up. such preparations as “nikoteen" or “black leaf 40" are recommended. Sucking pests usually adhere in masses to the under side of leaves. Some hard-shelled Insects must be removed by hand, as they seem immune from poison. But at any rate, clear your garden of the invaders before they get the ripening fruit and flowers. To prevent potato scab, mix one third pint of formaldehyde in ten*gal lons of water. Put your seed potatoes in a porous sack and let hang in the solution two hours. Then cut and plant. For blight and other fungus diseases on tomatoes, potatoes and other root crops, spray with Bordeaux mix ture. Tt is also a good practice to cover some young plants witli mosquito netting while they are attaining their growth, should they seem subject to parasite attackSprinkling lime around the stem (not under the soil) of cucumber vines will halt ravage by beetles. Tobacco preparatiodns are generally adapted to suppression of insect invasion in flower beds. In addition to keeping your garden free cf pests, don’t forget to give the plants plenty of air provided by frequent stirring of the soil. Don’t sprinkle with any device which will tear up the soil. He Ground And if’er you have sp'*i'ik!“ ' hoe the ground to prevent baking ■ the sun. However, do not do you hoeing while the soil is still wet. That will make clumps. Crossing experiments are open to the gardener whose plot is in success ful bloom. To cross plants for the purpose of obtaining new .mil interesting vari“*:es. a camel's hair brush and magnifying glass should constitute the equipment -if the average amateur. It is best, at first, to cross a flower of one pure color with that of an other, as results can best be watched in that way. The poppy, gladiolus and petunia
‘DROWNING’ENDS SPRING VACATION Boy Back at School After Stirring Experience, Following a stirring climax to his spring vacation, Oather Tate, 13, of 1631 W. Vermont St., returned to school today. A police emergency squad, an am bulance outfitted with a pulmotor, mo tor police armed with grappling hooks, with a mob of people, took part in a search for Oather Sunday. John Anderson, 6, and Trigg Anderson. 4 of 1535 W. Vermont St., told their mother Oather was drowned when he went after his baseball, which had been thrown over the White River flood wall, between Michigan and New York Sts. After his father Charles Tate, mounted on a bicycle, found Oather hiking along Rockville road with two other boys, the “drowned” lad admitted he throw the ball purposely, to break up the game, and, after retrieving it. climbed up the wail out of sight of his playmates.

are especially adapted to such experiments. Aided by the magnifying glass, remove the pollen from one flower with your camel's hair brush and transfer the pollen to the second bloom of a different color. Carefully mark with a string or cloth the flower used in the experiment and collect the seed in the fall by tying a paper bag over the crossed bloom. From this stage you may progress on and on to what may lead to a fascinating study.
