It is also recommended that the provision for the sale of the experiment station at New Iberia, La., be taken from the bill. Don't Follow Moon Rule. Some garuners formerly believed in planting Irish potatoes and certain other garden crops according to the signs of the moon. No one seems to know how the old moon theory originated, but it seems to date back to prehistoric tunes and probably was based upon the method of keeping time by moons rather than by months. There is no defin'te experimental data to show that the moon has any influence one way or the other upon plant growth, and experienced gardeners prefer to plant their potatoes at a time when the weather and soil conditions a-e right rather than according to the phase of the moon. Experienc: has shown that the point of most importance is to have the land in first-class condition for planting, then proceed to plant a? soon as weather conditions permit. A dwarf or smooth variety of English peas may be planted about ! the same time ?s Irish potatoes, or | just as sot as the ground is dry ( enough to work in the early spring. ] Here again soil preparation is important, and the ground should be 1 made fine and mellow before plant- I ing. Opinions differ as to the depth i to which the seed peas should be j covered. Some authorities claim they j should be covered as much as 4 inches, < while others maintain that 2 or 3 j inches is sufficient. Much will de- j pend, however, upon the character of j the soil in which the crop is planted, j If the soil is a light sandy loam and j inclined to dry out quickly, the peas should be ccvered 3 to 4 inches. But if the soil is rather heavy and inclined to pack closely, they should not j be covered more than 1 to 2 inches. , The varieties of peas having wrinkled seed coats should not be planted until about two weeks after the smooth J \arieties. They are just a little more susceptible to injury from frost and j will mature about as early if plant- j cd when the ground has slightly warmed. o Can Control Garden Pests. Though the insect, fungus and bacterial pests that trouble gaiden, ornamental and orchard plants number among the thousands, they can be fairly well controlled even by the amateur. The assurance is given by V. R. Gardner, professor of horticulture. Fortunately, the amateur does not need to know all the pests by name j to control them. Let him remember j that most cankers, leaf spots, scabs, j blights, wilts, mildews and rusts are | the work of fungus or bacterial die- j eases and that insects are of two j main types?those that eat holes and j those that suck juices through a bill ?and he has a fair chance of diag- j nosing accurately the general cause j of his trouble. Then let him remem- i ber that bordeaux mixture is a lead- j XXI g 1CHICUJ XVX A VVUiMU^ X auiv pitcentagc of the diseases, arsenate of lead for the chewing insects and tobacco in one form or another for the sucking insects. Let him provide himself with these materials ana with j a good dusting apparatus or liquid , sprayer for putting them on and he is ready for the battle. Let him remember that vigorous offensive is often the best defense and take the battle inw the enemy's territory. Send us your orders for job printing 666 cures Malarial Fever.
