Mav 6—“Garden work for May should consist of careful cultivation, making successive plantings, and fighting insects and diseases”, says A. E. Schil- !etter, extension horticulturist. Cultural hints for the home garden include: (1) Do not culti vate beans while the foliage is wet. (2) Set tomatoes deeply to enable them to stand drought bet ter. (3) When the strawberry crop s off, remove the mulch and cul tivate. If more plants are needed allow the first runners to take root. (4) Do not cut young asparagus too close. Fertilize and manure the bed when cutting is completed. (5) In cultivating take care not to break the roots of shallow-rooted vegetables. “Insects most prevalent in home wardens during May are the Mexi can bean beetle, the Colorado, o^tato beetle, and the harlequin cabbage bug”, says Mr. Schilletter, isting the controls for the three, nsects. 1.
