cipally from within a certain radius and 

 that both mail and counter sales were 

 particularly good in certain suburbs 

 and adjacent towns. So he concen- 

 trated his advertising in the publica- 

 tions circulating principally in his ter- 

 ritory, cut his mailing list sharply and 

 used the books saved for almost house 

 to house distribution in his chosen lo- 

 calities. The concentration proved prof- 

 itable both for the mail order and 

 counter departments and solved the 

 problem of advertising for that seeds- 

 man until competition became keener 

 than when the plan was first tried.

SNAILS IN LETTUCE HOUSE. 



We are troubled with snails in our 

 lettuce house. They are the soft, black 

 ones. When they get onto a plant, 

 they completely destroy it. We have 

 tried sow bug poison and Slug Shot, 

 tod have scattered lime around the 

 wooden benches, but all to no avail. 

 We are now hand-picking them and we 

 get as many as 200 per night, which we 



Save put in kerosene oil, but after ten 

 ours they are still alive. About the 

 only remedy we have found for them 

 it to burn them. G. & G. 



Get a large quantity of air-slaked 

 lime and dust it on the top of the soil, 

 covering it all over until the ground is 

 Tfhite. It will not hurt the plants, but 

 will benefit the soil and help keep the 

 slugs down, as they will not crawl over 

 t^e lime. Then you can pick off a few 

 by hand. H. G.
