A farmer of one of the central countries wrote to State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Harrlsburg, about soaking corn In either coal tnr or dilute carbolic acid to keep crows from pulling up nowly-planted corn. He said that he suffered much dam- age In past years through the depre- datlons of crows, and wnnts to get i ahead of them this year. ! Professor Surfnce's answer to this letter contained tho following: "It is commonly reported thnt corn should be soaKeci a row minutes in water containing a solution of coal tar or gas tar, and then spread and allowed to dry. This will make tho corn so bitter that the crows will be suspicious of It and will not cat it for fear of being poisoned. I pre sumo dilute carbolic acid would servo the same purpose, but I am not certain nbout this. Different devices have been recom- mended to keep tho crows from pull- ing corn, one of which is strings stretched around and across the corn Held. It is also recommended to sow corn on top of the ground nbout the time it commences to shoot through the soil, in order to feed the crows at this time, so they will not pull the grain that Is plant ed. It Is best for a person to try one or more methods nnd make a practice of that which he finds best." TIIH CHERRY APHIS. The advice of Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, was asked by a resident of the Cumberland Valley a sto what to do for his cherry trees, which every spring for the last two years have been badly damaged by black lice destroying the young shoots as well as the stems bearing the cherries. The reply of Professor Surface was as follows: "The Insect Injuring your cherry tree Is the blnck plant louse, often called the cherry aphis. One of the best remedies is to spray with one pound of whale oil soap In five gal lons of water, just after the leaf buds open, but before the leaves are expanded, and, of course, before the flowers come. The spraying" should not be done If the young lice are not seen to be present. It should be held for immediate application when you do see them. Watch for them on tho leaves, and when they come, give them a spraying before the leaves curl. One Important point is to redch them before they curl In the leaves. After the leaves have curled the material will not come into direct contact with them, and they will not scribed In the Monthly Bulletin of the Division of Zoology, of the Pennsylvania Department of Agri culture, Harrlsburg, for June, 1909." THE FRUIT HARK BEETLE. A Chambersburg lawyer sent to Professor H. A. Surface, State Zoo logist, Harrlsburg, a portion of a limb of a five-year-old apple tree, which he described as "full of punc tures cnused by some kind of an Insect, and by .carefully cutting away the outer edge you will find a miniature worm, to my eye (looking through a glass) largely represent ing the apple tree borer." Tho correspondent continued by i saying: "All tho fruit growers in this section, as well as myself, are at a loss to know who our new found enemy is, how ho arrived, and what we can do to protect ourselves against his ravages," and then ask ed the following questions: 1. In your opinion was this tree killed by the Insect sent you? 2. Wns tho death of tho tree caus ed solely by the apple tree borer? 3. Is this miniature Insect an off spring the apple tree borer?

Docs this Insect work upon llvo trees or only upon tho wood nnd sap wood under tho bark or dead trees? C.-Is this Insect likely to develop Into a moth and In that way perpetuato Its species, and what remedy would you sug gest? State Zoologist Surfaco found the Insect to bo tho Fruit Bark Beetle (Scolytus rugulosus), and said: "In orchards of thrifty trees this would be a new pest, but In old, declining and dying orchards, It Is 'an ola tlmer." He then answered the above queries, as follows: j nmi 2. I believe tho primary cause of the death of your young apple tree was tho borer, and that this Insect was secondnry, or followed in the wake of the borer. I mean to say that it attacks trees that are already de clining, or dying, rather than those that are thrifty. -It is not the young or offspring of tho apple borer, but will transform Into a small dark beetle about the size of No. 3.- 4 shot. 4.Thls Insect attacks the tree only after It has been Injur ed by some other cause. 5. It works upon trees that are In a declining, run-down or dy ing condition, and does not multiply In them after they are dead, excepting to com plete its life history. The channels which you note were cut by the larva or grub which transforms Into a beetle. If you will cut off a section of the injured wood and put it in a fruit Jar with a screen cloth over it; you will be able to obtain the pests in the mature rorm next summer. G. It Is not liable to develop Into a moth, but into a small beetle, as mentioned above "Spraying, especially with lime sulphur wash, which leaves a sedi ment like a thin paint on the bark, helps to prevent it. There is no euro after the adult has bored Into the hark and laid the eggs from which the grubs come. Cutting back a tree, and fertilizing and cul tivating to invigorate It, will prove useful."
