BETTER FRUIT 



August 



This Hood River Apple Storage House 

 IS INSULATED WITH 



Cabot's Insulating "Quilt" 



at the lowest cost and with the greatest efficiency and permanence. Quilt is made 

 of eel-grass, the fiber that will not rot. will not burn, will not harbor insects or ver- 

 min. It make a thick cushion of dead air spaces that keeps out heat better than 

 other insulators that cost much more and that are not permanent, sanitary or safe. 

 One layer of Quilt is equal in insulating power (by actual test) to forty or fifty 

 layers of common building paper. It is easy to apply, low priced and never goes to 

 pieces in the work. 



Send for sample of Quilt, with catalog and prices, to

 efficient than any other Insulator, including cork board.

CORNER FIRST AND OAK STREETS

because they will breed in decaying 

 vegetable matter or in the droppings of 



animals in the pastures. However, these 

 will be almost negligible. (3) Fly traps 

 are essential. They catch the flics com- 

 ing from breeding places and thus pre- 

 vent their migrating to the house. (1) 

 Enlist the co-operation of all dealers in 

 food supplies. Show them the danger 

 from Hies and what may result from 

 unsanitary surroundings of their prem- 

 ises, tf necessary, patronize only those 

 dealers who keep their premises and 

 their products properly screened. They 

 will soon clean their premises and 

 eliminate flies if the campaign is 

 brought to them in this financial light. 

 (5) Endeavor to obtain community co- 

 operation in the fly campaign. Do not 

 be discouraged if a few people cannot 

 be induced to clean up their premises. 

 As soon as they see that the campaign 

 is effective they will readily co-operate. 



Garden Plan Saves Labor. 

 A little time spent in planning a gar- 

 den will save a great deal of subsequent 

 labor. C. G. Carpenter of the Missouri 

 College of Agriculture suggests that the 

 rows of vegetables run north and 

 south, so that one side will receive sun- 

 light in the morning and the other in 

 the afternoon. This is the best arrange- 

 ment wherever it is possible. The slope 

 of the garden, if it is on a hillside, may 

 prevent running the rows north and 

 south. It is also advisable to space the 

 rows so that horse-drawn implements 

 can be used. Sometimes it pays to ar- 

 range even such small plants as lettuce 

 and radishes so that they may be culti- 

 vated with labor-saving implements. In 

 general, planting should be begun on 

 one side of the garden and continued to 

 the other. This will enable the gar- 

 dener to keep the weeds down on the 

 implanted area with minimum labor. 

 Vegetables planted at the same time and 

 requiring similar cultivation should be 

 grouped in adjacent rows. However, 

 the time of planting is more important 

 than the kind of cultivation required. 

 Rhubarb, horseradish, asparagus, win- 

 ter onions and other plants which oc- 

 cupy the ground longer than a year 

 should be set apart. Parsnips, saisify 

 and similar crops should be placed near 

 the perennials. Vegetables which re- 

 quire only a short growing season, such 

 as onions, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, 

 peas and beets, and second plantings of 

 these crops may follow in order as 

 planting proceeds across the garden.
