Asters Suffer From Black Beetle.
SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
By EBEN E. REXFORD.
Keep watch of your aBters, for ‘in
such an hour as you know not" the
maggot may attack them. It is bet
ter, however, to act on the belief that
this enemy is sure to come, and take
measures to head him ofT.
Work wood ashes into the soil about
the plants, and remove a little soil
immediately about the base of each
plant and scatter tobacco dust there
liberally. This will not injure the
plant, but it may discourage the pest
in its effort to get at the stalk of it.
Of late, many collections of asters
have been ruined by this grub.
The plant will look perfectly healthy
today; tomorrow it will have a with
ered appearance and the next day it
will be yellow, and if you take hold of
its top and give a slight pull, off it
will come close to the ground.
Examination will show that it has
been eaten into at that point. Wood
ashes are the best preventive of its at

Another aster trouble to guard
against the black beetle. This pest
comes suddenly, does its ruinous work
rapidly, and often injures your plants
beyond the prospect of recovery be
fore you are aware of its arrival. Here
is where the necessity of Keeping
watch of them comes in.
When the first beetle is discovered,
prepare an emulsion after the follow
ing formula: One-half pound of any
good, white soap, reduced to a liquid
by melting.
One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap, to which a little water
may be added while it is melting, come
to a boil,- then add the kerosene; re
move from the stove and stir vigorous
ly while the mixture is cooling. A sort
of jelly will result. Use a part of this
to ten parts of water. Stir well to
make sure that the emulsion unites
with the water and apply as a spray.
Use it liberally all over the plant, and
repeat the application frequently.
Prompt and persistent efforts are
needed to rout this voracious enemy.
Argentina which control a capital of
$600,000,000. Miss Pearson Is a very
pretty girl and attracted much atten
tion during her stay In Washington.

The two rehearsed the service and
with It engraved upon their hearts

Kneeling before an open fire they
united their physical, mental and spir

The strange ceremony took place in

Ridge road in Berkeley. The parents

dents of Toledo, O., were present. At
the conclusion of the service an or
