AGATES FOR JUNE
The agate is itsually accepted as
the birthstone for June, It is one
of the many varieties of the common
mineral, quartz. Examples in the
Royal Ontario Museum show that it
can be anything from drab to ex
tremely beautiful with irregular
bands of colour. It is quite plentiful
and is not ordinarily of very great
value although it was once believed
to increase the wearer’s ability to
acquire riches.

early, eighteenth century; large
agates over-head were expected to
gain magnetism from the sun’s rays.
With the aid of powerful magnets
they would help in lifting the ship;
Unfortunately it did hot work. Agates
are still of no use as a substitute
for gasoline. They are, ‘however,
popular as stones in almost every
type of jewellery,
During the first three years of
war, it is estimated British Empire

Dear friends, all thost- who go to
the trouble of packing parcels for
boys overseas.
I received my| second parcel since
being here, today, and it is hard
to tell you how much we really ap
preciate them. The contents- were
in good shape and could not have
been a better choice. It made ex
tra good time, being posted Mar. 16
and arriving here on Apr. 10, and
a very nice time, too, as I will have
a special treat for Easter, even if
I don’t get as many eggs as usual.
It doesn’t seem much to just say
thanks but I know you will have
your reward when you know I have
received it and how much I ap
preciate it. So here’s many thanks
to you all.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Friends:
This morning I received a most
welcome parcel from the Exeter
Wartime Board. It came at the
most opportune time, too, because
for the past week we have been ex
periencing the worst storm of the
winter. For two days we were
without heat, light, water and sup
plies. The storm abated yesterday,
however, so we are back to normal
again.
I wish to thank the Exeter War
time Board for all the good things.
The parcel, as usual, contained all
the needs of someone in the service
and is greatly appreciated. Of
course I was Surrounded 'by a group
of hungry ratings when I opened it,
but after I had shared the wealth
I still had plenty left for myself.
I’m like the rest of the fellows
when it comes to telling you of our
work, etc., because anything like
that is out. Just between you and
I and the censor I’d like to be back
home and I know the rest feel the
same way, but we are making the
best of it and that’s all we can do.
Again, thank you very much for
the parcel and I hope it isn’t too
long before I can thank you people
personally.
Sincerely,
Walter Mitchell

are doing, when we, the people
of Canada, agree through our

foliage and frequently escapes de

dusted with calcium arsenate and
gypsum, mixed one part of the

In Eastern Canada, seedling car
rots are frequently attacked by a
small, whitish maggot which is the
young of the carrot rust fly. This
maggot is first noted in early June,
making rusty-red tunnels in the
roots. Injured seedlings wilt and die
and sometimes the damage is quite
severe. By delaying the planting
of the carrot seed until early June,
most of the carrot rust flies will
have disappeared before the young
seedlings come up through the soil.
By mid-June potato plants will be
well above ground and the Colorado
potato beetle will be, at hand to

attack the new crop. It is an annual
visitor frequently to he seen on the
surface of the ground even before
the potatoes have broken through
the soil. Spraying or dusting the
vines with an arsenical, such as cal
cium arsenate or lead arsenate,
fortunately will kill nrost of the
beetles as well as the young grubs
on the leaves.
Green worms or caterpillars will
probably be noticed on cabbages,
cauliflowers and allied plants dur
ing late June and early July. These
are known as imported cabbage
worms. They feed on the outer
leaves at first but later bore their
way into the heads. Dusting the
central part of each plant, when the
caterpillars first appear, with diluted
arsenate of lead will give adequate
protection.
Slugs, though not insects, some
times cause serious losses in gardens
but usually only during periods of
abnormally wet weather or if the
vegetables are growing in very damp
soil. The feeding of slugs can be
effectively checked by dusting the
infested plants, as well as the soil
beneath, with hydrated lime. This
should be done in the late evening
for best results.
If every vegetable grower learns
to recognize these eight pests and
has acquainted himself with the
standard methods of control he need
! experience little crop loss from in
sect attack in the garden in the
average season. The Division of
Entomology, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa, will send
full information regarding the control
M3f different insect species attacking
vegetables, including the above, upon
request.

Insects to be looked for
in the vegetable garden.....
During, the average growing
season, probably not more than six
to eight seriously injurious species
of insects are to be found in most
vegetable gardens and, though these
distribute their attention over a
comparatively wide range of veget
ables and over a .fairly lengthy
period of time, the picture is really
not so black as most gardeners may
be inclined to paint it, says Alan G.
Dustan, Division of Entomology,
Dominion Department of Agricult
ure.
To realize that only a relatively
small number of insect species will
attack the crops, to know how to
recognize them and understand
what to do about them will assist
in protecting gardens when invasion
by these insects begins.
The following insects are those
which in all probability, will be the
only ones which will cause any
material loss during the average
gardening season in Eastern Canada.
■Cutworms are probably the most
generally destructive insects found
in the vegetable garden. They are
of greatest concern when the plants
are small. They are gray to brown
ish caterpillars which hide in the
soil during the day and emerge at
night to feed on a wide variety of I
plants. They usually sever the stems
at the soil surface, although some
species attack the leaves. Cut worms
can be killed by sprinkling poisoned-
bran bait about the garden, in the
late evening.
The cabbage maggot will prob
ably be the next insect to appear.
This maggot attacks the roots of
such plants as cabbages, cauliflowers
and radishes. It is a small, white,
legless insect that makes-its appear
ance about the middle of May. When
the attack is severe, many of the
plants wilt and die. Transplants
and seedlings can be protected by
pouring corrosive sublimate solution
around the steins about-the time the
plum trees come into blossom.
A near relative to this insect, the
onion maggot, is a frequent visitor
to gardens where onions are grown.
The onion maggot closely resembles
the cabbage maggot in appearance
and works in much the same way.
However, it only attacks onions—»
feeding at the base of the stems anti
causing the young plants to wilt.
Covering the onion seed with dry
powdered calomel before planting
will considerably reduce the amount
of injury.
A small, yellow and black striped
beetle, known as the striped cucum
ber beetle, will be an unwelcome
visitor in most, gardens about the
time cucumber plants are getting
started. ’It feeds on young euettm*
