mental trees, ETC., various species OF plant
lice and scale insects indeed it may be
said that generally, as regards insect pests,
matters have not perceptibly improved
since January l. 1884
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE.
Are the insect pests come to stay; and
if so, what will be the effect on the fruit
growing industries of the State? These in
quiries are frequently made by persons
wishing to buy lands for orchard and vine
yard purposes.
Also very generally the additional in
curry Is fruit-growing going to be over
done in this State? In reply to the first
portion OF the inquiry, " Have the insect
pests come to stay?" there need be no hes
Itatlon in giving unqualified reply, as fol-
lows: Unless effective measures be taken
for their determination, they will remain
as long as the trees and fruit infested can
give them such sustenance as is agreeable
to their taste. In reply to the second por-
hon OF the inquiry as to what will be the
e11ect on the frult-growing industries of the
State would say that from the present
outlook, there will be produced less than
80 per cent. of fruit of choice quality and
variety; about so per cent. of second quail
lty and the balance of the crop worthless
Tor market purposes, and nearly SO for any
other, and is exceedingly dangerous as
nursery for the spread of insect pests and
tungoid diseases of fruits, to infest the en-
tire neighborhoods in which such fruits are
grown.
Is FRUIT-GRoWING GOING TO BE OVERCOME
IN THIS STATE?
Taking it for granted that fruit of choice
quality and selected variety, that can be
grown to pay good profit to the producer,
is intended, the reply would certainly be in
the negative. The reasons are that at the
present time very large part of the acreage
OF fruit trees in this State is owned by per-
sons who are not willing to expend the
necessary funds to eradicate from their
premises such pests and fungoid diseases,
and also by persons that are not horticult-
wrists, and who have to depend upon others
for their success in the new occupation
Many of the large orchards are paying
handsome profits, but it is the result of in
telligent work, directed by men who thor
oughly understand their business There
are also many orchards, say of twenty
acres, that give handsome returns to their
owners. Yet the amount of fruit wasted
each year from lack of proper care in exter-
minating and guarding against the various
pests is simply enormous; and until this
fact is overcome by improved husbandry,
there can be no overproduction in choice
qualities OF fruits.

4 TURN IN ENGLISH SpoRrING-.tn
English writer complains that since the
custom Of rearing handled pheasants for
shooting has become general, half the
woodlands of England have become closed
to the people. The painter, the botanist,
the student Of nature, as well as the ordi
nary wayfarer, are shut out, they are made
treSpasserS and obnoxious to the law The
experience Of naturalist is recorded who
found that in one district thevery nightin-
gales are shot and their eggs destroyed be-
cause their song at night disturbs the
phcasants, The fern owl also, which utters
a harsh sound in the evening, is killed,
and its eggs, which lie upon the ground,
are trodden upon FOR the same reason. To
cultivate form of sport which true sports
men despise, the woods are made sacred
Enclosures which only the keepers foot
may tread and the song birds are silenccd.

DR.. Anders, Of Philadelphia, has Just
concluded some valuable experiments with
house plants. lie inclosed dozen potted
fowering-plants in an air-tight glass case
and placed them in the bay window of a
sitting-room facing the east. Ozone test
papers were hung in the case before it was
closed. Observations were made for four
hours daily during eighteen DAYS, with
results showing the presence of ozone in
the air of the case. \ second series of tests
was made with odorous towering plants
carnations, heliotropes etc, with stronger
indications of ozone. 4 third series in
Guided foliage plant ferns, dracenas,
e-c.-with less positive results. Further
experiments with plants in flower were
made with the case in the outdoor air.
In these it was found that negative results
came on rainy days, thus indicating that
bright sunshine is needed 10 develop
ozone. The experiments showed that
the floral organs are specially de-
legated to the important function
Of developing ozone. This peculiarly
active form of oxygen is produced during
the formation of the seed, in connection
with the phoSphorous compounds there ac-
cumul3ted. Flowers of various kinds have
been known to exhibit phosphorescent
light in warm evenings. Ozone is a most
Wholesome element in the atmosphere,

Plants in flower are therefore to be placed
in the front rank as hygienic agents.
Ozone IS of special value in living rooms,
where the air, according 10 the best author
ity, is usually foul 4 bay window, filled
with towering plants will doubtless fur
nish ozone enough to have decidedly
hcalthfuI effect upon the air of the room.
1t is gratifying to have further proof that
the old-time prejudice against house plants
is ill-founded. Instead of communicating

health Of the inmates they render it

In addition TO the above interesting and
valuable article by Professor Wiley, the fol-
| lowing facts relating to the growing of
sorghum sugar-cane, and the manufacture
of sorghum sugar, were obtained for the
RECORD UNION from DIR. H. Latham, for
merly United States ice-Consul- General
at Shanghai China, and for some years
resident of Japan:
The growing of the sorghum or Chinese
sugar-cane, and the manufacture of sor-
ghum sugar, is rs old as the written history
of Asiatic civilization. The sugar from
this plant is the only kind used by more
than 50o,000,000 people, who inhabit the
great alluvial plains of Eastern Asia. The
exeent of its production and consumption
is simply enormous. In Japan, in 1880,
5l2o00,000 pounds were made In China
this plant furnished the sugar for
the entire population of that empire, which,
by the official census of 1875, was 435 ,000,-
coo people. In addition to the home con-
sumption, the export of sorghum sugar
annually amounts to hundreds of millions
of pounds. In all those vast regions the
production of this sugar is not attended
with any of the difficulties which have
proven insurInountable thus far in the
United States. So simple and easy is the
process of manufacture pursued in those
Oriental countries, that every farm cooiie
with a boiling apparatus, which costs not
to exceed ten Mexican dollars, makes every
grade of brown sugars, as well as white
granulated. Almost every farmer has his
