IN THE GARDEN
Still Plenty of Time
Spring opened unusually early In
anlany parts of Canada this year, but
as generally happens after a warm
spell, the weather turned cold again,
and some enthusiasts who rushed
their gardening operations probably
regretted later.
A:dtmittedly, there is a thrill in get-
ting garden planted weeks earlier
than usual, and if all goes well
there is also a thrill in picking the
firth Rowers or sampling the first
vegetables weeks ahead of the
neighbors. But, as the experts point
out, there is solid satisfaction at
least in having the garden harvest
last weeks longer than is possible
when everything is Planted on a
single afternoon.
The beginner almost invariabiY
suffers from an overdose of Spring
fever and plants too soon. There
is no harm in planting a portion of
the garden veny early, but for maxi-
mums results all plantings, and this
especially applies to vegetables,
should be spread out. This prolongs
the harvesting season of reallY
fresh vegetables, eases the work of
cultivation and planting, and makes
for more even reswlts.
In most parts of the Dominion
there is still plenty of time to plant
all vegetables, and of the tender and
semi -tender .sorts, it is not advisable
to consider the main planting until
now.

Representing
pounkl of Cure, is yet as applicable
to war against garden insects and
diseases as it is to general health.
The proper treatment, jut as soon
as the first damage shows or Is ex-
pected, will win the battle. It is
amazing the injury disease or in-
sects can cause in a few hours once
they are well established.
Available almost everywhere in
Canada are cheap and effective com-
mercial sprays and powders. which
will handle such pests as fungus,
,aphids. rust, wilt, cut worms, potato
bug, etc. In some cases these dusts
or eprays, are made of a comhiation
of materials to cope with a varie•y

should be applied when the plants
are dry and the dusts stick better

An ounce of prevention is worth a

with rain or a dew:

Generally speaking, alt plant en-
emies are divided into three types—
tangos, that mildew or wilt the fol -
liege; stitching insects which pro-
duce the same results; and the eat-
ing kinds whichliterally devour the
foliage. Burning or drying sprays
ad. dusts wiljl handle the first two,
while the "eaten" should be des
trayed with a poison.
