Dr. tWickware is( by no means

Continued attention is being giv-
en „to Black ,Head in turkeys and
Irnany .new investigations are be-
itntg started. These relate to chick

eases of poultry, including paras-
ites of a14 kinds.
fThe an.nuai 'losses that occur from.
poultry diseases arid parasites are
tremendous. No person knows
what the amoufnt is but it is well
into the millions of dollars each

n'o doubt, do something to elim-
itniate part of this, but the co-oper-
ta!tion of all poultrymen who have
)any disease in their fldck will be
/appreciated.

Unfortunately the backyard veget-,
able grower has some difficulties to
overcome. It will not be all pleasure
and profit which he must look for-
ward to because there are innumer-
able insects and fungus diseases
which cause much worry and trouble
and necessitate the use of extraordin-
ary methods to prevent or control.
Most of these troubles may be over-
come by spraying tbe plants with
remedies which can be secured from
seed stores and other firms hand-
ling them.
The following is a list of the more
common vegetables and the insects
and plant diseases attacking them
with remedies or preventives.
ASPARAGUS. Beetles. Blue, black
or yellowish colored, about one-half
inch long, which •appear•eariy--in May
and reed en the young shoots. Keep
the bed closely cut in the spring or
allow poultry to run through it. After
cutting season is over, spray with
arsenate of lead. Encourage the
lady bird bettle which destroys many
of these insects.
Anthracnose or Pod Spots. Brown
or reddish Spots on the foliage and
pods. Found on low damp ground.
Plant only seeds which have no signs
of the disease. Pull up and burn
diseased plants, as they appear.
CABBAGE, CAULIFLOWER, AND
BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Root Mag-
got. A small whitish colored mag-
got one-quarter of an inch long.
Looks something like a grain of
wheat, found just below the surface
of the ground either close to or on
the roots. They eat the roots, caus-
ing the plant to drop over. Apply
a solution of corroasive sublimate
one-half ounce dissolved in five gal-
lons of . water, at the rate of half a
teacupful over each plant once a
week for five weeks after they are
set out, commencing three or four
days after planting.
Cut Worms and White Grubs.
Greyish white grubs which work at
the surface 01 the soil cutting off the
plants. They may be trapped by
spreading a mixture of poison bran
over the surface of the soil close to
the plants A pail of bran with suffi
