FOREST PLANTING.

For Timber, Windbreaks, Etc.-Ca-
talpa. Pine and Eucalyptus.
The great bulk Of the forest planting
has been done in the states west of the
Mississippi river. In the eastern
states, except in few instances, the
planting has been on very small
scale and usually as an experiment.
In eastern Massachusetts, however, not
less than 10000 acres have been arti-
icially restocked with forest trees.
In most sections east of the Missis-
sippi the natural reproduction of the
forest is so abundant that planting has

Irrixation In the Ea.t

The rapid extension of irrigation in
the west and the attention which it
has attracted has caused the irriga-

overlooked. A considerable area in
the eastern part of the country is now
being artifcially watered. For market
gardening and growing Of high priced
products irrigation has proved highly

THE cHlNcH BUG.
How to Fight 1t In the Corn-No REM
edy For Wheatflelds, Etc.


With millions of bugs in his field or
swarming from out Of an adjoining
field either of his own or his neighbors
what is a farmer to do? If the bugs
are gathered on the outer rows of corn,
as is usual in the larger portion cf
Ohio, they having left the wheatfelds
for the corn as soon as the grain was
harvested, follow the directions given
by Professor Forbes, state entomolo-
gist of Illinois, as follows:
dissolve one-half pound of hard or
soft soap in a gallon of water and heat
to the boiling point. Remove from
stove and add two gallons Of coal oil,
churning the mixture with a good
force pump for Is minutes. When the
emulsion is formed, it will look like
buttermilk
ITO each quart of this emulsion add
10 quarts of water and apply to the
corn in a spray. preferably before 10
a. m. or after 8 p. m. The bugs should
be washed off SO that they will float
in the emulsion at the base of the
plant. A teacupful is generally suffi-
cient, but the quantity must vary
with the number of bugs infesting the
corn"
That the above is effective and OF
practical value we know from personal
experience
II the bugs have taken possession Of
more than one of the outer rows OF
corn, put in the pillow and turn under
strip along the edge where the, bugs
were congregated, promptly harrow it
down smooth and roll or pack the sur
face Of the ground with clod crusher.
Bury chinch bug under three or four
inches of soil and it will not crawl out,
as have learned by actual experiment
in the field. This applies to corn.
There is no way Of treating the pest in
the wheatfeld or meadows.
In case migration is in progress
from wheatfeld to cornfield, if
about three deep burrows are plowed
as closely side by side as possible, the
invasion may be stopped. A few bugs
will get in and climb out Of the first
furrow, but less will succeed in pass
ing the second, while the third will
stop about all Of these. If there are
SO many that they seem to be escaping
after few days fill up the trenches
with plank clod crusher or scraper,
level off and roll, making new burrows
where the ridges were between the
old burrows and you have a new Sc

was to SOW the seed in hills four feet
apart and to put from three to five
seeds in each hill.
The most extensive planting in Penn
sylvanfa has been done near Potts
vile. In 1881 about $50 acres were
fenced and surrounded and crosscut
by fire lines wherever there existed
no roads adapted for that purpose.
The trees used were white pine, Scotch
pine, European larch and white oak.
The cost of planting varied from SIS

oaks.-Henry s. Graves.
