On the Trigger A Betty Grable type of young wo- man was watching drill. Suddenly a rifle volley rang out. With a surprised scream the lovely young beauty shrank back directly into the arms of a private who was standing behind her. "Oh!" she stammered blushingly, "I was so frightened by the rifle fire. Won't you please forgive me?" "Most certainly" replied the quick-witted private, "Let's go over and watch the artillery." GARDEN INSECTS AND THEIR CONTROL (Experimental Farms News) Some years insects on some partic- ular crops may be quite troublesome and cause great losses, if proper spraying or dusting is not done on time. On the other hand, if vegetable growers practised good cultural meth- ods, the fight against insects would be much easier, says C, E. Ste. Marie, Dominion Experimental Station, I2- Assomptiv, Que. It is important to keep the garden soil in a healthy con- dition by growing crops in rotation, It is also important to give the soil the preparation required by deep ploughing, thorough disking and prop- er drainage, Cultivate the crops when needed, more particularly to keep down, weeds. In order to keep down insects,. as well as to prevent their spread, all refuse after harvest should be cleaned up and burned in the spring before starting operations.

Miller After an • illness of three weeks death called one of thd old pioneers of the West in the person of Harriet cut down weeds or brush along fence lines or ditches, in order to help pro- tect the neighbourhood crops. Slow- growing, sickly-looking plants in. plantations should be pulled up and destroyed. In spite of taking all possible pre- cautions, vegetable growers may have to fight insects persistently. To do so effectively, effective insecticides and good equipment in the best work- ing order should always be available. While every grower cannot be an en- tomologist, it would seem just com- mon sense that people who spend time and money to grow vegetables should take the time to become acquainted with the most common insects which attack garden crops, in order to be able to fight them most successfully and economically. When seeding or transplanting on- ions, cabbage or cauliflower, treat the seed or dust the roots of the plants with calomel, against maggots. Leaf-eating insects, such as beetles, are generally controlled by spraying or dusting the plants with poisoned Bordeau Mixture. Sucking insects, such as aphids, can be controlled by the application of a nicotine spray or dust. Insects, such as cutworms, can be controlled by the use of a poisoned bran mash bait, spread thinly on the ground in the evening. To harvest good carrots for the winter supply free from insect injury, seed should be sown as late as the end of June. If this is done carrots that are well developed and free from damage by the carrot rust fly will be produced. More detailed information on the control of garden insects can be ob- tained from the nearest Experimental Station; the Dominion Entomological Laboratory, St. Jean, P.Q., or the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
