A Xcw Insect Injuring Apples.
A prominent member of the
Beaver County Fruit Growers' Asso
ciation writes to State Zoologist Sur
face, and sends a box of small ap
ples that have been gnawed 1iy an
insect. Ho says: "The injury caused
by this pest consists of a largo part
of the surface of the fruit eaten, or
a hole from one-eighth to one
fourth inch in size eaten diorctly In
to the fruit as far as tho seeds. The
caterpillar was light greou In color,
with smooth body, and light stripes
extending along it length-wise." The
writer adds that he will have a full
crop of apples this year in his or
chard, which has been for the past
three years one of the State's De
monstration Orchards. He also says,
"My success Is due entirely to the
suggestions and information given by
your ed'partment."
Prof. Surface has found from re
ports from various parts of tho state
that this Injury by larve gnawing
In applos is unusually common this
year. Ho has received it from most
of the counties of Pennsylvania.
Therefore, this reply will be of gen
eral interest. It is as follows:
The worm which you mention Is
probably the rose leaf slug. At any
rate it can be destroyed by spraying
with an ounce of arsenate of lead
in each gallon of water, or uy dust
ing ttio leaves wnen damp with dew,
strength. Iloth arsenato of load and
Paris green should, after being
weighed, bo mixed with a small
amount of water till they aro an
even creamy mass, and then washed
Into tho spray barrel. Then before
beginning to spray this whole mix
ture should bo thoroughly agitated.
A test repeated ror nmr years at
tho New York agricultural experi
ment station, Geneva, shows a decid
ed gain in yield by growing tomato
plants from seed produced by cross
ing two varieties. Tho first genera
tion of crossed plants outylelded the
parents In every case, tho average
gain being about three and one-half
tons of tomatoes to the acre. The
advantage was greatly less in plants
of the second generation, and disap
peared entirely in subsequent genera
tions. The station horticulturists be
lieve that tho growing of this first
generaton crossed seed is a commer
cially profitable undertaking. The
details of tho work aro given In bul
letin 340, which may be obtained
from tho station without charge.
Chlckweed Is a great nuisance in
the garden, and in grass lands. It
chokes out smaller and weaker
plants, including seedlings of all
classes. It grows perpetually, and
the common chlckweed, stcllaria
media, flowers all the year round ex
cept when there is frost, so that it is
perpetually seeding. Constant work
witn tne hoe is the only way to sub-
either late In the evening or early in duo it; infested grass land should
Vl rt imn Inn .t I f V. A a - n I ' 1 . . 1 t i . i
the morning, with one part of Paris
green mixed with fifty parts of flour.
Unmixed Paris green will not do
this. It is too strong and will kill
the leaves. Tho Hour is used both
to dilute tho Paris green and make
it stick well on damp leaves. It can
be safely used around the. yard with
out injury to animals or persons.
You can use powdered or dry arsen
ate of lead In preferenco to 'Paris
green if you wish. Tho larva or
worm boring into tho rose buds can
be killed by the same materials. The
arsenate of lead spray is especially
to be recommended for this.
The small, dark green insect
about the size of the head of a pin
is no doubt the rose Aphis or plant
lice. It clusters mostly around the
tips of the growing shoots and the
Inids Tho treatment named above
for the chewing insects will not de
stroy this as it is a sucking inset.
Among the remedies for this are the
following:
"1. Spray or wash with one pound
of whalo oil soap in fivo or six gal
lons of water.
"2. Give same treatment using a
strong tabacco decoction made by
steeping a pound of tobacco in a gal
lon of water for two hours.
'"3 Use eight or ten per cent,
kerosene emulsion.
. '4. I'so one pound of ground
laundry soap in about three gallons
of water Dissolve this in hot water
then let it cool before using it as a
wash or spray.
"Any one of the above should give
relief.
"The insect in the roso while in
bloom can be destroyed by tho arsen
ato of lead spray which will not dis
color leaf or flower. However, as a
rule I avoid spraying blossoms of
all kinds because of tho danger of
killing bees and other beneficial in
sects which visit them and are valu
able In pollenizing."
I'or .Summer Treatment of Itllghtotl
Twigs.
A prominent fruit grower In Penn
syhania writes to Professor H. A.
Surfaco, State Zoologist, at Harrls
biirg, and states. I just finished thin
ning my apples, etc., and find a
number of short twigs with blos
soms that aro dead, looking as
though they had been burned. May
this not Tie Twig blight, as described
in tho Bulletin of January, 1911;
nnd to savo the trees muBt they be
taken off and tho cut painted? Tho
reply of Professor Surfaco Is as fol
lows, and may prove useful to overy
grower of applo. pear and quince
trees, all of which aro subject to
Twig blight during the summer:
' Tho short twigs with dead blos
soms wero doubtless killed 1y a
blight known as fire blight, twig
Wight pear Wight, black blight,
black flag, otc. This often starts In
the way you describe and thero is
very little else to be done for It than
to cut out the blighted parts below
the point of Injury. Where a short
nis in uimmeu uacK to a larger
branch it is best to just take a sharp
knife and cut out tho bllplitmi
of twig and paint over the freshly cut
bo broken up, and treated to a
short rotation. Several of the chick
weeds are a great nuisance to green
house men, both outside in tho gar
den, and under glass when 'bought
inside in the compost.
Generally speaking the egg-eating
hen is not as much to blame as is
the poultryman. Hens crave animal
food. If this is not to be had, it is
only natural that tho hen's craving
for this form of food should lead it
astray. Nine times out of ten the
egg-eating habit, as well as tho
feather-pulling vice, is caused by a
lack of animal protein in tho ration.
In attempting to control the habit,
then, it is well to see that all temp
tation Is rpmnvpd hr lnrlnHlnir n
sufficient quantity of animal protein
in ine ieeu.
If one is raising any considerable
number of chicks, fpprllnir
almost a necessity. Either wooden
crates made of lath so nailed that
only the little chickens can get
through tho cracks, or pens inclosed
with small mesh wire netting will
answer the purpose. Thus the little
chicks will have a chance to eat in
quiet Instead of being pecked and
knocked around by the big ones. The
big chicks can be fed outside tho
pens, or, if there aro hens around to
worry them, pens can bo provided in
to which to throw their feed.
The department of agriculture has
just received a report from the New
York agricultural experiment station
of tests made to determine the in
fluence of crossing in increasing the
yield of tho tomato. The infusion of
new blood obtained Iby crossing some
what closely related varieties, Bays
the report, has been found, in many
plants, to increase tho vigor and
yield of fruits to a very marked de
gree. Among tho common commer
cial crops, corn, oean and tomato
have been proved experimentally to
be greatly benefited liy such crossing.
With this idea in view, the experi
ments were begun as far back as
1907 In order to determino whether
crossing increased the yield of toma
toes, and, If so, how much?' For
this purpose tho 'Livingston Stone
and tho Dwarf Aristocrat varieties
wero selected. Their fruit Is Identi
cal in color and quite similar in
shape, but tho vines, however, aro
very distinct in stature, ono being a
standard and the other a dwarf.

your choice of any one of the famous booklets, "Money-making:
Secrets," which other people have bought by the hundred thousand.
Just note what the information given in one of these booklets, "The
Million Eg-g-Farm," did for Robert Liddle, a clerk of Scranton, Pa.
In May, 1910, Robert bought 2300 day-old chicks. He snent iust one ""'"far more important,
week studying the methods now given in this book, his only preparation for the business.
Result this ' greenhorn" raised 95 per cent, of all his chicks, and 1350 of them were pullets.
( Poultry Secrets" tells you this secret.) In less than seven months he was getting 425
eggs daily, and selling them at 58 cents a dozen. His feed cost averaged $4.00 a day, leaving
him OVER $17.00 A DAY PROFIT, and this before all his pullets had begun laying.
Isn't "Money-making Secrets" a good name for such booklets?
Read what people say of the other booklets, and of the Farm Journal itself:
D
"I find your Egg-Book worth untold dollars," says
Roy Chancy. Illinois. "What it tt Hi would take a beeinner years
to learn."
"I am much pleased with the Butter Book," writes
F. J. Dickson, Illinois, "and would like to know how I could
secure 300 couics, one (or each patron of our creamery."
"Duck Dollars is the best book I ever had on
duck-raisinc," says I. M, Warnock, 1'enna.
"If your other booklets contain as much valuable
information as the KgK'lJook, I would consider them cheap at
double the price," says I7. W. Mansfuld, New York.
T. F. McCrea, a missionary in China, writes, "I
found Garden Gold a creat help in my garden this summer. I
lost my health in the creat famine, tryiriL' to save the starvinc
Chinese, and 1 am tryine to net it back by Kcttine near to the
soil. After a lone tussle with the Chinese language and mission
problems, it is a' creat rest to set out with the vegetables,
trees, chickens, etc. I am saving money and regaining n.y
health. My wife and I both find I''abu Journal indispensable.
"The Farm Journal beats them all," writes T. II.
Potter, I'enna. "Every issue has reminders and ideas worth a
year's subscription."
"One year I took another agricultural paper,"
says N. M. Gladwin, Washington, "and it took a whole column
to tell what Faru Journal tells in one paragraph."
"I was very greatly helped by your garden page,"
writes Mrs. Joe Lawrence. Saskatchewan. "I was never
successful in growing cabbage until last summer, when I tried
the Faru JoURNALjway. Now I have more than I need to use."
"Farm Journal was a regular visitor at my boy
hood home," writes Dr. William Davis, New Jersey When
the first copy came, it carried me back ten years, and I felt a boy
again, I shall never be without it again 1 want home to seem
like home. When it arrives, 1 feel the gladness jump right into
me. I begin on the first page and read to my wife until half.past

"Farm Journal is good for the man behind the
