(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
To be successful in me control of
Insects and diseases, spraying must be
done promptly and thoroughly. Spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture should be
done before rains rather than after,
provided the spray has time to dry
on the leaves. Where the advice Is
given gardeners to “repeat spraying ev
ery seven or ten days,” these Intervals
should depend on the weather. If It
Is rainy or “muggy,” with fogs or
heavy dews, spray frequently to keep
the foliage protected at all times. If
dry’, a longer time may he allowed.
The Ideal spray Is a fine mist, and
the best work Is done \^hen the plant
Is thoroughly and evenly covered wlfh
fln** drops. Stop spraying before the
follnge Is drenched.

the spray.

In addition to systematic eradication
of cattle tuberculosis by the accredit
ed-herd plan, interest in the “area
plan,” as it is called, has lately de
veloped In many states, according to
the report Issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture describing
progress during March! The eradica
tion of tuberculosis under the compre
hensive plan generally Includes a coun
ty as a unit and all the cattle in the
county are tested. The report shows
that in states where the eradication
work was concentrated in certain local
ities In an effort to wipe out the dis
ease entirely, a great many more an
imals were tested than in states where
the area plan is not yet followed to
any appreciable extent.

the area plan, tested 21,000 cattle. A

secure the services of a local Irucker
or orchnrdlst who has a sprayer, but
no one should be deterred from pro

less.
The powders may be shaken from

forms of dusters, bellows or blowers

Dry powders are best applied when
the leaves are wet with dew.

Mechanical Methods.
For garden insects there are several
'Control methods that do not require
the upo of insecticides, hut too much
must not be expected from them. Of
these hand picking is useful for large,
comparatively Inactive Insects such as
the potato beetle, cutworms and other
'Caterpillars, and the squash bug. An
other method is jarring or heating in
sects fiVun low plants Into large pans
of water on which a thin scum of kero
sene. being on the surface, kills the in
sects with which It comes in contact.
Collecting nets are valuable for some
pests; for example, the tarnished
plant-hug. Brushing by different means*
is.used to a considerable extent and
consists In heating or brushing Insects
from the. plants with pine-houghs or
similar brush. Ttils method has proved
of great value In combating the pea
aphis. Covering with cloth I* of use
as a preventive for the atrlped cucum
ber beetle when the cucumbers are
quite small, and fort root-maggots.

Tillage Is the main task of the tuc-
reasful gardener, and the amount of
work devoted to stirring the soil and
destroying the weed* will measure the
productivity of the vegetables. At this
time the advantage of a wheel hoe
will he appreciated, and for gardeners
who have vegetable planting* of any
extent, this bandy tool Is almost a ne
cessity. .The -work is about one-third
that of hoeing by hand, and It Is done
even more efficiently by the wheel hoe
than by the old-fashioned hand tool.
Wheel hoes run so easily that a
woman can keep a garden in a line
state of cultivation with only a little
effort. The wheel boss have a num
ber. of attachments for various pur
poses, small rake teeth serving to
keep the soil stirred after the weeds
have been cut down by the hoe blade
attachments.
CHANGE POTENTIAL
TO OBTAIN SIGNALS
Way m Which This May Be Done
With Three-Electrode
Vacuum Tube.
For every filament current there Is
a definite plate potential that will
give the strongest signals. When us
ing fairly hard tubes—high vacuum—r
bringing out taps froi& the individual
cells of the plate of “B" battery wdll
give variations that are fine enough.
For very soft, gaseous tubes, low
ament leads in connecting' a socket
will be disastrous to the Ufa of tbe
filament
Note that tbe filament rheostat Is
set to place the maximum amount of
reslstauce ,ln series with the filament.
After Inserting the tube see that it Is
properly seated and that the four
prongtr-fifotrudlng from the tube base
make good contact with their respec
tive contacts In the tube socket.
If, after listening In with a vacuum
tube jjeed as a detector with a rated
filament current and plate potential,
no signals are heard, go over the dr-
cult carefully and inspect all connec
tions, contacts, polarity of both the
“A” and “B” batteries, and take a look
at the grid condenser and leak.
A three-electrode vacuum tube can
be substituted for the crystal as a de
tector in the simple radio receiving
set described in'^bls column a short
time ago. Using a vacuum tube in
place of a crystal detector will give
a much louder signal, and a detector
that when once adjusted will stay ad-

Poultry manure when properly con
