The Army Worm.

Further reports bring in confirma.
tion of the devastation by the army
worm at the Reinert vineyard, which
was visited yesterday, and where the
vines, few days since. were covered
with young foliage and were setting
fruit, there is nothing but the bare
stalks, without leaf or bud, the only
signs of life being the myriads of
crawling worms, says the San Bernar-
dino Sun.
In the Los Angeles Times CORES
pondent makes the following sugges-
ton against the army worm to check
its devastation. He writes. I'm this
mornings paper ] notice an article on
the devastation by the army worms in
San Bernardino county. Some three
years ago l acted ON a suggestion
printed by the California Fruit Grower
Of San Francisco for the destruction of
army worms, and which has proved
the salvation of our trees; also of
some neighboring orchards every year.
We saved our young trees only ten
days ago by this means. Let me ex.
plain. so that you may be able TO
notify your readers quickly, and then
they will save their trees, surely.

Thinning Fruit.


1t is astonishing how much green
fruit has to be picked from some fruit
trees in order to make room for the
balance, or that which is left on the
tree, that it may mature and come to
u proper size, says the Oakland En-
quirer. The writer visited Judge
Smith at San Leandro and found him
with his men busily engaged in thinning
out his apricots. The Judge was up
tree picking the green fruit (not in
baskets) and the ground underneath
the tree was completely covered.
For this apparent waste of fruit
there are three good reasons: First. the
trees must be relieved of some of the
fruit or they will break down under
their load and in that way soon destroy
themselves. Fruit trees may be great
ly improved by properly cutting off
limbs, but for limbs to break and split
from the tree is ruinous, as the tree is
sure to rot after being thus injured.
Consequently, for this first reason it is
important to protect the tree by pick
ing off part of the fruit.
In the second place, it is required
by the cannery that all fruit shall be
above certain size. In no case will
cannery buy apricots where it takes
more than nine for a pound. This
accounts for the nice large slices that
are found in canned apricots, which
are put up in this country, and in the
East you will always hear it remark ed
that California canned goods are so
large and beautiful. Ali of this de-
ponds on the grower and requires great
care as we'll as skill in properly thin.
ming.
A third reason may at first seem of
little consequence, but when the buyer
has to be suited, it starts in at the
thinning point, just as it does in the
other two cases. II the fruit grows in
punches, then each fruit would de-
velop i'll shape according to the space
allotted it, and the result would be, in
stead Of each apricot being properly
formed, it would be mangled and out
of shape. We are more apt to no tice
this when selecting plate of fruit for
our own table, and as we depend ON
the orchardist for our fruit, we just as
truly make him responsible for its
shape and beauty.
These three reasons, not any one of
them, but all of them, make it neces-
sary for the fruit grower to pick from
two.thirds to three-fourths, and, in
some cases. five-sixths, Of the fruit
from the tree and throw it on the
ground to rot.

California olives Criticised.

The following criticism of our olive
oil is from the New York Grocery
World. 1t says: The Grocery World
has received sample of California
olives. The sample is in the shape OF
small bottle, such as sells at retail in
the East at 10 cents. 1t cost Is cents.
A close exam ination and investigation
of its contents we believe justify the
fair conclusion that the Spanish and
California olives are two separate and
distinct products. neither interfering
with the other.
To begin with, the California olives
are badly packed. If the California
people ever want to reach point Of
Importance in the East, they must take
more pains with the appearance of
their goods, for the Eastern olive trade
absolutely demands properly packed
bottles. The bottle received by us was
filled with olives of all shapes, sizes
and colors. Some were white. like
ox-heart cherries, some a delicate
green, and others deep brown. Some
were the size of a cranberry and others
that of a small plum. They were not
packed in the bottle neatly, as the
Spanish olives. but were apparently
dumped in regardless of everything but
the fact of getting the receptacle full.
California olives are invariably picked
ripe. That is one radical point of
difference between them and the
Spanish fruit, which is picked green.
California olives are mushy, and IN
the consistency of their pulp greatly
resemble a plum. There is faint
olive flavor, there, but in the samples
tasted this was nowhere near as pro.
nounced as in the Spanish fruit. We
are informed that in California 5.
gallon keg may be secured for $1.95,
which is much lower than the Spanish
fruit.
The examination of these samples
fully bears out the statements made
to busy practical olive handlers; tina
the California olive is of an entirely
different species than the Spanish.
While it may become popular in {
measure for what it is, it is doubtful
that it can ever replace or displace tn,
Spanish olive.

One of the admirable treatises en-
special topics that have emanated
from the Georgia experiment station
within a year past, is one of 1.-The
Cultivated Blackberries and Dewber-
ries," by Hugh N. Starnes, horticul-
turist of the station. Below are two
selections:
With the blackberry pruning is a
simple process. Its object is to force
the plant TO assume strong, stocky
form that will be self supporting, re-
quiring no artificial assistance from
trellises or stakes, and also to cause
vigorous lateral shoots to put forth, on
which the crop is mainly set. There
fore, as soon as the suckers have
reached the proper height in early
summer, after the fruit is off, it is
the practice to top them back. but the
proper height itself is still an unset
tied question. Many growers top at
two feet, larger number at two feet
and half, some at three feet, and a
few at still greater height. In this
section it is probable advisable to top
at two and half feet. All shoots
coming up in the proper position along
the row should be topped as they reach
this height, until an average of some
five or six canes to the yard has been
secured, after which all others should
be treated as weeds and cut out, un-
less required for propagation. Where
young shoots, however. are observed to
be affected with either orange rust or
anthracnose, they should be taken up
bodily and burned, no matter how ugly
gap in the row such destruction may
leave. and the grower would do we'll
to thin his canes with an eye more to
the eradication of these two maladies
than to the production and mainten-
ance of symmetrical and slightly row.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
AErieuItuTist.-Item That May
Benefit our Readers.
Fruits m General.


By most persons fruits are considered
wholesome, but the reason of the
wholesomeness is not as generally
known as it should be. Fruits, as a
class, have no great food value. They
nevertheless are very wholesome, and
from the very fact that they contain but
little nutriment they may be eaten,
usually. in considerable quantities.
OF course reference is here made to per-
fectly ripe fruit-ripe, and not over
ripe. Practically all the cultivated
fruits, including the strawberry, the
raspberry, the blackberry, the apple,
the plum, the peach and the orange,
contain large quantities of water.
with but a small percentage of nutri-
tive substance. Such nutritive matter
as they do contain, however, supplies
admirably one element of a perfect
diet, namely, the carbohydrates.
The flavor of fruits which gives them
a pleasant taste, says the Youths Com
panion. is due TO certain oils and to
the acids which they contain. Sugar
is found in fruits in varying proper
tions. and is the chief substance which
is changed during the fermentation of
their juices. The substance which
gives firmness to fruit, and which,
upon boiling. yields the different fruit
jellies, is called pectose. Vegetable
fiber is found in varying proportions
in different fruits. The quantity of
oil, albumen and mineral salts in fruits
is small, but doubtless they have some
slight food value 1t will thus be seen
that fruits are chiefly valuable for the
water they contain and for their appe-
tiZing nature. Almost all ripe fruits
may be freely allowed to conval escents,
their action ON the liver and kidneys
being favorable rather than otherwise.
Raspberries and strawberries have
been especially recommended for bill
iousness and govt; plums for govt and
articular rheumatism. Dyspeptics
should avoid eating hard skin, seeds
and hard-fbered fruits. The best fruits
for constipation are fresh apples, figs
prunes, oranges, peaches and berries
OF all fruits, the most nutritious arr
bananas dates, figs, prunes and grapes
In general, then, we may conclude
that fruits are useful for the nutrimen
they contain; for the water which the,
furnish to the system; for the variou
salts and acids which react favorabl,
upon the blood and the secretions; ant
also for stimulating the appetite, i'm
proving digestion and giving variet,
to the diet.

Lieutenant Chittenden, the Govern
ment engineer detailed to choose a site
for the proposed Government reservoir
in Colorado and Wyoming. has selected
the great natural basin near Laramie
as the Wyoming site. This basin is in
the heart Of the Rocky Mountains, and
is ten miles long by two wide. Its
maximum depth is 100 feet, and the
Government engineer estimates that
it will hold 10000, 900. 900 cubic feet
of water. The walls of the basin are
without a break and the bottom is of
rock impervious to water. The Big
and Little Laramie Rivers will be
tapped. and it will take between five
and six years to fill the basin. Water
can be stored to keep the entire eastern
part of Wyoming and Western Me-
braska supplied during the dry season.
