Biting and sucking insects often occur in a way to permit their destruction by poisoning the air which they breathe, as with hydrocyanic-aciLas or carbon disulphide, but in many cases the expense and danger make this method Impracticable. Summer spraying is directed against g bud, leaf, and insects, and for these arsenicals chiefly are used. Dilute contact Insecticides are also employed in. the control of certain insects, such as aphids, red bugs root-infesti- s, d fruit-eatin- s, etc. the soil for Irish potatoes must not only be rich but it must be rich in plant food of certain kinds. Land that was well manured the previous season, and which contains plenty of organic matter is best.

In most sections the early potatoes can be followed by a late crop of sweet corn planted between the rows of potatoes about two weeks before the potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants can be set between the rows of potatoes, then the soil worked about the cabbage plants when the potatoes are dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast on the land after early potatoes.

BIG VIRTUE OF SANDY SOILS Roots of Plants Pass Through It Read- ily, But It Dries Out Quickly Clay Holds Water. The chief virtue of sandy soil Is that the roots of plants can pass through it readily; its chief fault is that it dries out too quickly. Clay soil holds water well, but it tends to pack and harden. Both types of soil need stable manure it loosens up clay and helps sand to hold moisture. Lessen Work of Cultivation.
