How to Kill Tree Caterpillars.

The following letter from Mr..
Green, State Horticulturist, an.
swering an inquiry of Mr.. A. p.
Aspinwall of Harrison, will be OF
interest to those who dread the
ravages of the ''tree worm.'' It
would of course be out of Ques.
ton to spray a large forest, but
any particularly valuable grove
could by, this means be saved.
The photograph referred too it,
the letter we. have at our office
where any one interested may
call and see it: =

~ May 18th, 1895.
4. p. Aspinwall, Esq,
Harrison, Mimi. f.. T.. :.
DEAR SIR Replying to yours
of the 18th. The remedy for the
forest tree caterpillar is to spray
the foliage of the trees with Paris
green and water in the proper
tion Of one pound to 100 gallons
of water. OF course the method
which you uggest ais q remedy
i. e. crushing the 1caterpillars
where they are collected iii
punches on the trunks Of the
trees, lis very bod and should be
persist ently followed no matter
what other remedy is used They
will. general be found collected
inssuch places early in the 3. ID.

'Phe matter Of a spray pump for
applying the poison is not q
difficult one to handle. Any
force pump will'answer providing
a piece Of hose may be ATTACHED
to it. The pump should be
mounted on a good barrel. The
most important thing is the noz-
zle, which should be SO made as
to show a fine mist like spray
We use a nozzle called the BOr-
deaux nozzle, manufactured by
the Deming company OF Salem,
Ohio. Mr.. f. Splittstoser of
North Branch, Mimi, manufac-
lures a very good nozzle which
would do very we'll for this pur.
pose. 1 cannot recall the price OF
the Deming Co.'S nozzle, nor do |
know whether Mr.. S. sells his noz-
zles separate from the machines.
Another important matter is to
have some way OF keeping the
poison stirred up in the barrel.
This may be done by a wide piece
of thin iron that is kept suspend
ed in the water by rope attach
ed to the handle OF the pump, \
inch hose is the best size to use.
There are many concerns that
manufacture spray pump outfits
complete but these are generally
quite expensive and it would not
pay you to buy them unless you
have considerable work. to do.
In using a barrel spray pump
such as ! have described it should
be carr led around in a wagon.
lnclose photograph OF a home
made spraying apparatus made
and used here attached t. a light
stone boat. You will note the
pump is on stone boat. 1t is
simple, cheaper and just as we'll
to attach pump to head OF bar
rel. The currant leaf enclosed is
affected by lice which cause the
reddish blisters on them. They
are rather difficult to reach but
Kerosene emulsion is the proper
remedy. Tobacco water, the
color OF strong tea is also good.

Lake Lillian Ditch.

x .
ditch undertaking in the south
ern part OF the county, learned
in an interview with County
Auditor Nasset, may be OF in
terest to the readers of the Tri-
bune.
The work of viewing and sur
veying the proposed ditch is be-
ing rushed through as fast as
possible. AS has been published
the ditch has been divided into
sections to facilitate the work.
The section from the Meeker
county line to Lake Lillian is
already in shape for the graders,
and the section from Dog Lake
to Lake Elizabeth has been view
ed and located. 1t is the pur-
pose to complete the whole ditch
this summer and fall if possible,
as the work can now be pushed
under very favorable cream
stances. The succession of dry
seasons have drained the country
so we'll that nearly twice as much
work can be done now as when
the water is at it's normal stage
for the same money. When
asked whether continuing the
drain merely to the Meeker Co.,,
line would have any detrimental
effect on the lands in Meeker Co.,
the auditor stated that it would
not, as the natural channel of
the drain there is good and there
is a fall a short distance over
che line. In fact there is but
little ditching to do for about 4
OF a mile on this side of the line.
A little extra trouble will be ex-
perienced at the outlet of Lake
Lillian to keep the channel in
proper condition, as during high
water the sandy banks are very
unruly. There is a popularity
about this lake, III that during
spring foods the surface of the
water often gets to be higher
than the surrounding country,
being held in by the sand banks
pushed up by the ice, When
then the bank gives way the
whole surrounding country is
flooded. The banks OF the out
let being sandy the water cuts
them away easily. The auditor
cited an instance when the town
supervisors stopped a lot OF
people going to church one Sun
day to help fill in a breach in the
bank that had assumed threaten
ing proportions. Plans have
been made to remedy this freaky
outlet with walls of masonry.
Auditor Nasset and Commits
sioner Lofgren were out collect
ing capital land rents during the
latter part of last week, with
which expense of the work is to
he paved. They were successful
in collecting about 81, 200. 1t is
estimated that there will be
about $4,000 available for the
work.
In this way those capitallands,
which have long been a drawback
to the taxpayers of those south
ern towns, will be made 20 con-
tribute money for the welfare
of the towns. When properly
drained the country there will be
the richest and most productive
in the county. .:.:~~:.:.
