Beware of Invasion Jitters 
When the army of insects starts on 
your planting, it is time to go after it 
with both guns—the dust gun and the 
Spray gun. There are two armies we 
must fight—the chewing and the suck- 
ing. The use of insecticides is absolutely 
necessary to keep your garden free of 
these two armies. The first, or chew- 
ing type, can only be kept under con- 
trol with the use of a stomach poison 
such as lead arsenate, calcium arsenate, 
pyrethrum, nicotine, sulphate, or other 
poisons. This is best accomplished with 
a good strong spray gun. 
The second, or sucking type, must be 
controlled with a contact spray or dust, 
as these insects breathe mostly through 
the pores of the body and must be hit 
to make a kill. A good dust is preferred 
by most gardeners. Dusting must be 
thorough and carefully done, covering 
all the plant as well as the ground 
around it, for if the pests are not hit 
no kill will result. If you have a dust 
gun, we have the dust that work.

A Suggestion 
For. our gardeners who grow rhodo- 
dendrons, azaleas and other acid-loving 
plants, here is a tip to be used in the 
absence of acid fertilizer which at pres-. 
ent is out. 
Mulch well with peat or well rotted 
alder sawdust or both combined. Begin 
at the trunk or stem and continue out 
several inches beyond the branches. 
Work a little into the top three inches 
at the outside branches. Three or four 
applications of buttermilk during early 
spring will help give an acid condition. 
Next July water well, for it is then 
that the buds are forming for next sea- 
son’s blooms. This will in many cases 
prevent bud drop and give you better 
flowers. 5 
CORN EARWORM OIL is a success- 
ful prevention for that dreaded worm 
that eats the tips of our corn and well 
down the ear. Full directions on bottle
