N-‘VUKA- iivl’idt "it PROTECTION F OR SQUASH. ‘Two Practical and Inexpensive Plans to Prevent Ravages of Borers. The most difficult matter about sgrowing squashes is to protect the wines from the various insects that jprey upon them. This is especially :true in the home garden and small ‘piots near buildings or near where :squashes or other vine crops were .grown the previous year, because the insects hibernate in the buildings and I in the ground near the vines they fed - nit The one that represents a complete letting d0wn of price cut them iâ€"â€"You must not miss it iâ€"You will find bargains here you ! ~Look through your wardrobe, see what you need. for months t Remember the dateâ€"Saturday, August 7th, and following days.

These pictures were taken ,early in April, and the ink bottle had to do duty in place of the plants. Another advantage of this style is that the protectors may be nested together and stored easily WIRE PLANT PBOTEUI‘OB. upon for the winter. For the striped cucumber beetle there is no poison or repellent that will prove effective and satisfactory at all times. The box plant protector shown in the cut is 12 by 12 inches and six inches high, cover- «ed with wire screen, which is set over the bill when the seeds are planted and left on until the plants get too large. Protectors of this type may be made of old pine boxes or other odds and ends. and they need not cost over 5 cents apiece, even if the lumber must be purchased. Another style, in the BOX PLANT PROTECTOR second cut. is made entirely of wire screen. The one shown was made by cutting a circular piece of wire Screen twenty-four inches in diameter and then folding over a section. amounting 'to one-fourth to one-third of the cir- cumference, and fastening with short pieces of small wire pushed through the meshes and the ends twisted to gether. It gives a good idea as to how these protectors are made. At re- tail prices' the protectors made this way will coat 8 cents each. but they have this iidvantage over the box mienâ€"the light and air have full go- when no longer needed. If given a ‘coating of coal tar or some weather proof paint occasionally these protect- ors should last for years. Some of the smallest beetles can crawl through the meshes of wire screen, but one can easily kill the very few that get inside. The bush or summer squashes if taken when tender and cooked like eggplant are much superior to that well known vegetable. or course where'the bush squashes are about mature and before the borers leave the stem to hibernate in the soil the vines should be pulled and destroyed to kill 'the borer. This should be done about Aug. 1; the time varies with the latitude. Spraying the first four or five joints of the squash vine (not the leaves) with kerosene emulsion is a good plan, as also are catching and kill- ing the adult moth. which is very con- spicuous and easily found when once known. However. the trap crop plan will be found to be the most practical and satisfactory method of dealing with the squash borer. In using the above described screen protectors it is well to remember that the soil should be drawn up about the edges of the box or wire screen and firmed down so as to be sure. that none of the bags can crawl under the sides. ._.â€".â€" i Goats Clear Underbrush.

More than thirty years ago the Swed- ish professor Lemstrom proved that the rapid growth of plants in the polar ' regions was attributable to the strong - electricity of the air found in those parts. Generally speaking, the first at- tempt to-increase fertility by spanning a net charged with electricity across the fields was carried out by a Dr. Pringshelm on his property at Kry~ schanowitz. near Breslau. He succeed- cd in obtaining an increased produc« tion of 128 peil cent from strawberries, 120 to 140 per cent from beet root and 32 per cent in the case of beans and barley. But the necessity for always having to remove a net which was stretched across the ground at a very low height before the usual agricul- tural work could be proceeded with made the process too expensive for practical utility. The electrical engi- neer Neumann then tried a net with strong alternating currents, which still pmcd effective when erected at the height of five meters train the ground, in this ’manner 'no longer hindering the harvesters at their work. Experience so'on'showed that an equally sure re- sult could be obtained by erecting iso- lated masts at intervals of ten meters and attached to one another by thin wire. Sir Oliver Lodge was able to prove that by this system an increased production of from 30 to 40 per cent of wheat apd barley could be obtained. the proportion of glutinous flour in'the grains being a higher one, so that the market price of the electrically fertiâ€" lized wheat. inbreased by 7% pcr cent. The latest experiments, which have been carried.out on a larger scale by Dr. B‘re'slauer. were intended to con- vince the German farmers of the prac- ticakutiuty of. this process.
