DESTROYING SQUASH BUGS 
“The squash bugs, like chickens, come home 
to roost. I found that in the early morning a 
very small area contained millions of them, 
so I hit on the plan of killing them with a 
blue flame gasoline torch, such as electricians 
use for soldering. In about an hour I killed 
about 98 per cent of all I had and have not 
seen a colony in years, and scarcely ever see a 
single bug. There was no damage to the 
plants, as the bugs fall on the ground as soon 
as they feel heat and hear noise."—H. J. 
Baldwin, Minnesota.

Swiss Chard 
SWISS CHARD —Alias Spinach Beet, Aspara¬ 
gus Beet, “Chicken’s Delight.” Leaves may 
be cooked for “greens” like spinach. The 
stalks may be cut lengthwise and crosswise, 
the quartered pieces then boiled and served 
in butter or milk dressing like asparagus. 
Grow plenty and feed surplus to the chick¬ 
ens. They like Swiss Chard and thrive on 
it. Don’t dig up the root or cut off all the 
top. Pull off the outside stalks. Others will 
keep forming from heart of plant. Grows in 
hot weather when spinach lies down on the 
job. Stands a lot of freezing in fall and 
still keeps growing. Really a wonderful 
vegetable. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb 
90c, prepaid.
