' The forehanded gardener who fortifies himself with sprays and dusters will save himself much disappointment and wasted effort. Plant diseases and insect pests can be controlled only if the mate rial is at hand when needed. Although many of the chemicals used in the past are scarce or are available only to commercial grow ers under certain restrictions, some of the standbys still are to be had and it is most important that plans be made early for this phase of gardening. It will be necessary to do some planning m order to obtain and use satisfactory substitute materials where the preferred ones are not procurable. However, as far as spray solutions are concerned, there seems to toe a fairly adequate se lection. Among the insecticides pyreth rum, nicotine, arsenicals and lime sulphur solution are still available for flowers and ornamental plants. There are excellent commercially prepared sprays combining several chemicals on the market that are easy to use and give very satis factory results. When it comes to fungicides, the supply is encouraging. There is plenty of sulphur which is one of the most effective agents for the control of black-spot and mildew. Copper sulfate and other copper containing materials are scarce but limited quantities may be avail able. Then there are the combination fungicides and insecticides that take care of both insects and plant diseases at one time. Some of these are available in both spray and dust form. Since most of us are busier than ever these days and it's almost im possible to get help we must con serve all the time we can in our gardens. So you may find dusting, rather than spraying more to your liking. Dusting is much quicker and helps solve the problem of proper timing of applications, so essential for effective controL Sat isfactory fungicides can be had in dust form as well as spray form. The Mexican bean beetle that has become such a pest on green beans in many localities can be controlled by dusting with a combination of pyrethrum with other chemicals. Be prepared to dust as soon as you see the first insect, being very careful to get the dust on both upper and lower sides of the leaves. Repeat during the growing season, every ten days or two weeks as needed. Tomatoes should be sprayed or dusted to prevent blight. When the plants are well established in the garden a dusting is beneficial Re peat in two weeks.
