SPRAYING AWAY THE
BUGS.
%
Control Measures For Orchard
And Garden.
Cletnson College.?Within the next
month the orchard trees will probably
be in the proper stage for the spring
sprayings to control worms. Arsenate
of Lead should be purchased as soon
as possible and should not be put off
until the day the spraying should be
done. Everyone who expects to have
fruit without worms this summer
should consider the purchasing of
spray materials' for the spring and
summer sprayings as an obligation
not to be neglected. The first spraying
of peaches for worms should be
done when the petals have fallen and
most of the shucks slipped, which is
about ten days after full bloom. The
spraying of apples should be immediately
after all petals have fallen and
before the calyx closes.
In a mixed orchard where there- are
various types and ages of tipple tree?
t two sprayings will be necessary, as all
the trees will not be blooming at the
same time. Spray part of the trees
when enough of the petals have fallen,
an H fha to at irithin a vootr nr ton
days.
What Is Needed for Spring Sprayings.
For each fifty-gallon barrel of spray
solution, one pound of arsenate of lead
powder or two poilnds of arsenate of
lead paste ;and two pounds of unslaked
lime. In estimating the materials
needed, the following schedule
of amount of spray required on trees
should bemused:
60 very young peach br apple trees
per barrel.
35 peach trees In full bearing per
. . barrel.
35 apple trees in full bearing per
barrel. > .
20 large old-fashioned apple trees
per barrel . ..
Write for Circular Number 25 for
directions for the spring and summer
pnyiaca. - - v . v
Apple Lice : Apple> trees-when the
tear** begin to crow are very frequently
attacked by ttce or aphis. The

Coatro}: rBogia fast as soon as the
Uoe.:efe noticed oo the tender young
leaves and when the leaves begin, to
curl amjf tarn yellow. Spray with nicotine
sulfate (alio known as'"Black
Leal 40^, diluted at the rate of about
1 liMpwnfctf tp 1 gallon of watet, <*
about % coffee-cup full to 50 gallons
of water. The nicotiner c^q be mixed
with the arsenate of lead spray" and
bd put on at the same time. Write
for bulletins on the .Apptf 'Efce. . Qarden
Insects for Marph and April.
Ameng the spring garden insects
which usu8^|v~ reouire att*?*<ori durmg
March and April are the potato
beetle or bug, the cabbage wofnii, and
the cabbage lice. Very little trouble
should be experienced in controlling
\ these pests. The main point in the
control is to watch the plants closely ^
' rih a , on the first appearance of these 1
pests, st6rt controlling them.
To Control 'Hie Potato Bug or
Beetle:?The most convenient and efficient
method is to dust the plants
.with arsenate of lead powder or calarsenate.
Of course the plants can be
sprayed with a solution of these poisons
with the same results. But the
dusting method is cheaper and more
easily done. Mix the poison thoroughly
with air-slaked lime in the proportion
of about half and half. A small
flour sack or a muslin or cheese-cloth
Ifeg can be used to advantage to shake
tiie poison on the plants. Do this in
early morning when the dew is on
the plants for best results. Do not let
the bag become wet by touching the
Wet plants.
To Control the Cabbage Worm:?
Use the same control measures for
the cabbage worm as for the potato
beetle. The prejudice that some hare
against poisoning cabbage is an unfounded
one. Experiments show that
a person wouM hare to eat 28 cabbages
at one time, if dusted in the ordinary
way, to receive any poisoning
effects. Begin to dust the cabbage
with either of the two poisons mentioned
for the control of the potato
bug, when the worm holes are first noticed,
and continue this as long as
' necessary.
Cabbage Lice:?A small grayish, or
greenish louse, which causes the plant
to wilt and die by sucking.
The cabbage louss gires birth to
? liting young throughout the summer
months, by the millions. During the
fall there is a generation of female
lice which lay eggs. The winter is
passed in the egg stage.
Control: 1. Spray wrtn nicotine
sulfate or Black Leaf 40?1 pint to
100 gallons water, or 1 tablespoon to
6 gallons water.
1. Spray with soap solution: 1 lb.
of ordinary laundry soap in 2 gallons
of hot water. Share the soap in thin
pieces before heating. Dilute the 2
gallons of hot mixture to 4 gallon? by
adding 2 gallons of cold water.
' If Black Leaf 40 cannot be obtained
from local dealers, the nearest market
is The Kentucky Tobacco Products

Well, Thanks to Dreco.
"When I began taking Dreco I was
n awful shape after eating my stomich
would ache, swell up and get hard
is a rock. I was never able to get
;ny breakfast at all. My,liver >was
lull and I had dizzy spells, foul
>reath and bad taste in my mouth,
rly kidneys were out of order, which
;ave me pains in my back and rheunatism
of the joints. I have taken
wo bottles of Dreco and my pains
ire all gone now. I eat three big
neals every day, and never have
hose stomach pains. The dizzy
pells have ceased and I sleep fine.
)reco is great," are the words of Mr
JlT C. Bryant, 128 Crescent Ave.,
Spartanburg, S. C.
Dreco is compounded ..from the
uices and extracts of medicinal roots
terbfi, barks and berries. There is no
loubt about the value of this great
nedicine for stomach disorders, weak
:idneys, sluggish liver, constipated
lowels, nor for cleansing the bloo<j
if poisons and impurities, thereby
radicating rheumatism and catarrh.
Scores of people have testified to its
nerits; many of them after all other
emedies and doctors had failed, to
lelp them, and all' declared Dreco
iad restored their health.
Dreco is now sold by all good drug ista
throughout the country and is
specially recommended in Abbeville
