A NEW CABBAGE PEST.

The cabbage maggot, the larval form
of a fly, anthOnayja 6raSSicOe, is the
most destructive pest of the cabbage
in Europe, where it some times destroys
whole fields Of young plants. It has
been occasionally troublesome in the
United States since 1846 It has the
past spring appeared in alarming num-
bers in portion of the trucking sec
ton of this State.
The fly is slender and gray colored,
rather smaller than the common. house
fly. The female lays her eggs in early
spring on the roots or stem of young
plants, both in the s9edbed and field.
The eggs hatch out in about five days.
The maggots eat off the young rOotlets,
producing what is often called Club
foot;" they also bore into the larger
roots and stems, causing the plants to
turn yellow and soon after die, or re-
main as stunted plants which refuse to
head. The flies continue to breed all
the summer and pass the winter as
dormant pupa in the hollow stems of
cabbage and stumps if left in the field.
Some of the winged insects als0 hide
away in cellars and places where cab
bage is stored, but the greater portion
of the frat brood of fl es come from the
dormant pupa in the field. The mag
gots feed by preference upon the roots
of cabbage and other cruciferous plants
-collards, kale, caulifoWer, radish,
mustard, etc but they breed also in
stable manure piles, human excrement
and rotten fish.
REMEDIES
The first and most essential remedy
is to clean cabbage flies thoroughly of
stumps Either plow these under at
least six inches deep and then roll the
graoud, or rather the stumps and com
post them with lime. Never follow
cabbage by the same crop on any fald.
If the maggots appear on plants In the
seed bed, apply a good dressing Of lime
or muriate of potash to the soil, or suff
cient kerosene emulsion to wet the
ground one inch deep. If plants in the
field are attacked, take dibbler or
sharp stick and make hole near each
plant as deep as the roots OF the plant
and about one inch in diameter. Fill
this hole with kerosene emulsion. II
the emulsion does not wet soil on all
sides of the plant, make and fill another

FLOWERS FOR THE SICK.
Branch of the National Fruit and
Flower Guild Organized


Some Of the society folks have recently
organized branch of the National Fruit
and Flower Guild. The object OF this
beautiful charity is TO supply flowers and
fruit for the sick i'll public institutions and
at their homes The gifts are, Of course,
intended principally for the poor.
AT the meeting for the organization Of
the Washington Guild, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst
was elected president. and Miss Florence
Harding secretary. There is member
ship in The organization which will ms ure
its complete success and wide range Of
good works.
Ii is proposed to begin the active work
this week. Arrangements have already
been made with the railroads ana the
express companies, whereby fruit and flow
ers from the villages and country viii he
transported free uf charge. in which re-
spect these agencies are lso contributing
materially 10 The object Of the guild.
There will be q practical illustration of
the working and methods Of the guild
today. A great many of the flowers
which were used al the wedding ceremony
and reception of Mr.. and Mrs. Harding last
night have been placed at tie disposal of
the guild. and they will be used today for
the first distribution. a great many
homes w!h lie frightened thus by souvenirs
Of this happy event, as the flowers other
wise would have served only The single
sentimental purpose of decorations.
There win be no lack o: flowers or fruits,
ii is believed. as soon as the public is
aware OF the object OF this society. Guilds
elsewhere have been given very warm
support. not only by the city people
where they have been established. but by
the farmers and gardeners in the villag gcs
and rural districts, who willingly gave the
ladies fruits and flowers, which would
have been available for no other purpose
