The Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station has just issued bulletin, No. So, by
Professor w. G. Johnson. State Entomolo-
gist,which embraces an illustrated account of

louise which is doing great damage to young
peach trees, planted this spring and last fall
in orchards, and to young shooting buds in
nurseries. In one instance this insect has
already damaged a hundred thousand trees
thousand. The same pest is also in the heart
of another block of young peach trees which
contains nearly fourteen hundred thousand
trees and is doing very serious damage. 1t
is also doing considerable damage to young
orchards in the mountain districts of Western
this insect with the remedies for its suppress
sion and control are given; kerosene emul-
sion properly diluted, having been found the
most economical and best remedy for its
destruction. The bulletin also contains an
account of cut worms which do very serious
damage to tobacco fields and trucking lands
of the State every year. A generalized his.
tory of the insects with illustrations are
given and most satisfactory remedy for
their destruction. A mash made of wheat

appended, passed by the last General Assem-.
bly,, for the suppression and control of insect
pests and plant diseases in Maryland is given.
This bulletin is the first of series issued in
accordance with the recently passed law and

A Fruit Exhibit.

The Peninsula Horticultural Society, at its
meetingin Snow Hill, last January, appointed
a committee 'to secure the cold storage Of
small packages of fruit to be placed on ex-
hibition Mt the next annual meeting of this
Society, the Society to pay charges of trans
portation and storage of such packages under
the regulations of the committee"
The committee, acting under this author
ity, has made arrangements with the .'Wil-
mington Abbattor and Cold Storage Com
pany," 216 and 23i Tatnall street, Whining
ton, Del, for the storage of such packages;
action, that fruit growers in all parts of the
Peninsula may begin at once to lay plans to
prepare to furnish such exhibits.
Growers who desire to make exhibits should
send notice without delay to the chairman of
the committee, stating what kinds and vare-
ties of fruits can be furnished. The COM
mittee suggests that several fruit growers in
a neighborhood may combine in making
arrangements for their shipments. All should
at once write the committee, and full direc
tons as to style of package, time and manner
of shipment and all other necessary particu-
lars, will be sent to the proposed exhibitors.
We greatly desire to make this exhibit an
object lesson, that will not be forgotten, of
great practical value to the fruit interests of
the Peninsula.
