average The Same story comes from all di
rcctions- promising condition and good
growth till the middle of June, and from that
time forward series of calamitics which
have resulted in the most disastrous
failure ever known to growers. Tic
first enemy encountered was the Aphi.,
or plant louise, which made its appear
ance during June in unprecedented nunu'rs
and severity Tho usual remedies for this
pest were tried, but with little apparent
effect, and the plants attacked made but
sicldy progress, Following rs the result of
this attack of plant lice tAphidcsl there has
been widespread damage from honey dow. In
some yards this substance Ia, been found in
quantities sufficient to produce miniature
shower, blackcning the ground beneath the
vines. No section of the state has apparently
escaped this attack, and i'll some the cniccblcd
plants have been visited by mildcw AMI other
blghts, so that it is estimated that II per
cent. damage has been done the roots of the
vines.
According to commercial authorities the
crop of the state last year was from $50 OOO
to 10000 bales Of lSOpounds each, of superior
quality, while estimates of the crop of this
year range from 5000 to 5000 bales of very
inferior quality. Since the irleparable dam
age to the new crop has become apparent
prices have already risen from ) to Is cents
to p and 30 cents per pound.
MIR. Emmct Wells, of New York, an aI-
thorty ON the hicrt, says: "Thc crop in

Old Time Way of Keeping Appies.

At Il recent meeting of the Kentucky State
Horticultural society an old member told how
forty years ago tho farmers used TO keep
apple, fresh and crisp until June Their
moie was to put the fruit up in banks. just Is

At time of harvest a spot of high, wen

the apples. Here was scoopcd out sort Of
saucer shaped bottom, upon which, after
covering with AN inch or 50 of straw, WIS
piled the apples, covering the same with some
six or eight inches Of straw, and then with
enough earth TO keep out the frost not unfre-
