BEER Automobile Accessories and Electrical Supplies Phone 109 Exeter How to Combat Garden Insects Garden plants are liable to attack by many kinds of destructive insects Some of these destroy the foliage, others the flowers, while others bore into the stems and even into the. foots. Injurious insects may be ’divided roughly into two classes by the nature of their mouthpieces, 'namely, (1) biting insects which bite ■and chew their food, such as cut worms and other caterpillars, and leaf-eating fettles, and (2) sucking insects which sunk up their food by means of their beaks, such as aphids the true brigs, and the scale insects. If the insect is one with biting mouth parts, a stomach poison such as paris green, or arsenate of lead, is usually applicable, but if the yin- sect has sucking mouthparts, such ■poisons would be useless because the insect would insert its beak through the poison and reach a safe fe.eding place beneath. For sucking insects, therefore, contact insectitudes are usually recommended, those com monly used being kerosene emul sion, whale oil soa.p,. and prepara tions containing tobaccos. A kerosene (coal oil emulsion is made as follows—Use two gallons of kerosene, one gallon of rain water, and a half-pound of soap. Heat the water, cut the soap into fine shavings and add them to the water, stirring until all it dissolved. Then turn this mixture into the kerosene and churn the whole violently with a syringe ‘.or force pump for about five min utes, or until a thick creamy emus- sion is produced. This makes the stock solution which as it cools thickens into a jelly-like mass. The stock solution when properly made will keep for months if air is ex cluded. When required for use, the solution should be diluted with nine times its measure of warm water. When only a small quantity of kerosene solution is required for im mediate use, the following mixture is recommended, kerosene, one qt.; flour, eight ounces; water, two gal lons. (Stir the flour and kerosene together, then add the water and churn briskly for five minutes. It should be used at once. , Whale oil or fish oil soap is us ed extensively for aphids and such like insects, but it’s unpleasant odour is objectionable to many lovers of ornamental plants. For brown or black aphids it should be used in the strength of one pound to four gal lons of warm water; for green aphids or thrips, in the strength of one "pound to, six gallons of water. With regard t0‘ tobacco extracts rare pre parations containing 40 per cent, nicotine siriphate a-re sold by most seedsmen, hardware and druggists, and should be used as directed. 25 YEARS AGO July 13, 1911 Mr. Walter Connor left for Winni peg on Tuesday in connection with gasoline engine business.

OF AGRICULTURE Some years ago there was a move ment in London and district to change the appellation “Western On tario” as referring to this part of the province, to “Southern Ontario" Included in this scheme was a sug gestion to alter the title of the uni versity accordingly. The plan found few supporters and for the time be ing is defunct. However, the Ontario Department of Agriculture which looks at things with the eye of a weather and crop expert refers in its bulletins to a dis trict known as “Southern Ontario” in which it places, Middesex, Nor folk, Lincoln, Kent, Haldimand, El gin and Essex. In Western Ontario it includes Halton, Huron, Bruce, Perth, Water loo and Wellington. The founders of the movement claimed “Southern Ontario” had a softer sound than Western Ontario that it sounded, as they said, more salubrious. B. C.
