cANKER WORMS AND TENT CATERPIL-
LARS.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Complaints of damage to peach and
apple orchards by canker worms and
tent caterpillars are coming to the
State Department of Agriculture.
These are very dangerous insects I'M
less promptly dealt with. The pres
emit cool and backward spring has
greatly favored the increase of these
pests, which belong naturally to a
cooler climate than ours.
The canker worm is a small dark
celOred looping or measuring worm,
which when disturbed let's itself fall
by a thread of silk which it spins. 1t
attacks the apple by preference. It
eats the buds and young leaves,
eEectually running the seasons crop
of fruit unless promptly dealt with.
The remedy is to spray with four
ounce of Paris green and 1 pound of
lime in water, or better, add the
Paris green to a barrel of Bordeaux
mixture. See the Department Bull
lebn, December 1899, for formulas
and spraying apparatus.
The tent caterpillar more common
~ attacks the peach and plum trees.
1t is larger than the canker worm
and does not loop when walking. 1t
lives in tents or webs it spins in a
crotch of tree or at the end of a limb.
Remedy: Twist the tents around Il
stick OF pole and bury in the ground
or throw into kerosene oil. Spray
trees as directed for canker worm.
Where only a few trees are at
tackled and the owner has no sprayer,
fair results may be obtained by mix
ing 1 pound of Paris green to 60

GREAT STRAWBERRY SEASON.
Truckers in the East Delighted Over Fair
Prices and Good Crops.

Mr.. H. l.. Stevens, of Warsaw,
who was a visitor in Raleigh last
week, reports that the strawberry
season in Eastern Carolina is a great
success.
The people in my section are
happy as Il result of the unusually
fine berry season." Mr.. Stevens re-
marked. THE strawberry crop is a
large one, and good prices are being
commanded in Northern markets for
shipments. Truckers in our section
began to ship April 30, and 1 learn
that Norfolk truckers winno be able
to put their crop on the market
until the 18th. This gives US an advan-
tage of some twenty-five days. The
railroads have given a perfectly sat
isfactOry service this year. Refrig-
orator cars are being used for the
transportation of berries, and ice
stations have been established at a
number of places in the eastern part

THE SUMMER LAMBS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The hardest season for yOung
lambs is through the hot part of Oul
dry summers, and the mortality
among them is sometimes quite great
The heat of midsummer is debilitat,
ing enough to the older animals, and
special precautions must be taken tc
carry the lambs through this period.
The safest way is to have the lambs
dropped early enough in the spring
so they can be weaned and put on
grain before hot weather. When
Young lambs have to nurse through
the hot weather the drain on the
ewes is very hard, and some never
permanently recover from it. More
over, there is no advantage to the
lamb in being nursed through hot
weather. This was believed to be
the case at one time, and it was a
common practice to have the sum
mer lambs nursed through the hot
weather and then put on grain in the
early autumn. just the reverse IS
now found to be more satisfactory.
Wean the lambs before hot weather,
and get them started on the grain
diet before July.
The grain diet should begin early
and while the lambs are still nursing.
This grain fed in connection with the
ewes milk will be easily digested,
and it will produce more actual fat
to the pound than any other period
of the lambs life. The lambs take
kindly to the grain when it is prop
erly prepared and fed to them, but
it should not be given to excess. The
danger of their O~ver-eating is eve
present in hot weather, and the
owner must use good Judgment in
preventing any stomach disorder
from Over-eating. The tape worm,
which is apt to be present in hot
weather to cause sickness, can be
successfully cOmbated if the stomach
condition as the lambs is kept per
feet. If the worms appear in spite
of all some remedy should be applied
at once. An administration Of gasO-
line in sweet milk in time will
usually save the life of the lamb.
The only danger from this is that of
strangling, but this car be avoided
with a little care. Tape and stomach
worms are frequently due to turning
the lambs on old pastures and keep
ing them there steadily. They are
more lei in old pastures than
new, and the lambs are pretty sure
to contract some Of them if turned
out continually on the same old pas
lures. It is better to shift them DC
casionally even if the pastures are
all old ones. The sheep and lambs
appreciate d change Of location, and
the change always benefits them.

pounds of air slaked lime and 10
pounds of flour or white middlings.
Dust the trees with this powder. If
the worms are not killed by the spray
or powder within three days, re-
peat it.
Remember these insects will de-
stroy the fruit buds of any trees
within ten days unless they are
themselves destroyed. The trees
will put out leaves again, but no
buds, so there will be no fruit.

BLACKBERRY CULTIVATION.

In the cultivation of the black
berry, surface tillage should begin
early in the spring if we preserve the
water. If plowed early, a spring
toothed cultivatOr should be run
through the plants every week,
especially after Il rain, before the
soil bakes. After the crop is har-
vested one cultivation is given to
loosen up the ground, which has
been tramped down by the pickers
say, about the middle or last of Au-
gust. Frequent light CIVILIZATIONS
are the best, because the weeds never
get a chance to grow, and little hoe
ing is necessary. If a patch becomes
foul with thistles or other weeds, it
is best to NOV it over, pillow it up
thoroughly and crop with corn for a
season. Suckers will come upamOng
the corn stalks and along the rows,
and the next year the planting will
be completely renewed. Stable ma
nurc is the popular fertilizer, al
though if the tillage is good, nitro
gen will scarcely be needed, s. that
potash and phosphoric acid can be
applied. Yields and profits: The
year after the planting the yield
should pay the cost up to that time.
the third year should give Il large
crop, and since there seems t. be no
limit of the profitable age of a black
berry plantation, every good year
should give a good crop thereafter.
Of course, q plantation will not en-
dure when the land becomes hard
and foul or the plants full of dead
and diseased wood. A crop of 200
bushels IN acre year after year is
possible unless unfuvOrdble seasons
intervene. With good varieties well
cared for, the blackberry is n Of
the most profitable Of small fruits,
but the golden harvest only comes
to those who work for it and think
while they work.-Corncu Bulletin,
No. 80.

sTRAWBERRY POINTERs.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Remember it Is the fancy berries
that pay the profits when the season
is at its height. Early berries Of a
questionable quality pay sometimes,
too, but the fancy strawberries lead
the list every time. We cannot do
better than to strive to make every
quart of berries of more than aver
Q size and quality. Fancy berries
are graded in most city markets now
a sIarge, ripe, and we'll packed fruits.
Size counts a good deal more than
sweetness then comes color. Given
a berry with a high rich color and
YOU will find more purchasers for it
than the haIf-ripe looking fruit that
is superior in flavor and sweetness.
Berries tOreach the fancy trade must
not be picked too early. This is the
great fault with Southern berries in
Northern markets. They I picked
when half green, and when they are
sold they are sour and unpalatable
to the taste. This mistake has helped
to ruin the reputation Of Southern
berries more than a little. a great
deal depends upon the cleanliness Of
the berries and their packing. Very
choice fruit should be busted off ii
picked after a rain storm and the
sand can be removed in this way
without much difficulty and, without
injuring the fruit. The strawberries
that go to market sprinkled with
sand or dirt will be marked down all
the way from two to five cents a
quart. Tt does not pay.
Choice strawberries are obtained
only by having strong, vigorous
vines of good strains. Then the
early and continuous cultivation
must be given to make them do their
best. Forcing is better applied to
strawberries than to most other
fruits, for it is the forced fruit that
proves large, tender andfne in quail
ity. Forcing simply means another
word for high culture and rapid
growth. The faster you can make
the fruits grow the more delicious
they seem to be. The soil for straw
berries cannot be too rich in potash
and phosphoric acid, butitis possible
to have too much nitrogen in it.
This latter causes the vines to grow
rapidly and at the expense of the
berries. What nitrogen Is supplied
artifcially should be applied to the
soil in the fall or winter, and in the
spring potash and phOsphOric acid
should be the ingredients applied.
These will give the berries a better
growth, richer color and more de
licious flavor. Then the mOr pull
verized and cultivated the land can
be made the better will it be for the
fruit. Ahttle early preparation per
sistently followed will do wonders
toward producing fancy fruit for the
early market. G. E. MANNERS.

Girard point is a favorite rendezvous
for Philadelphia artists who paint
marine views. They say it reminds
them of Holland. One of the craft has
noticed that every time he goes down
there be loses a paint rag. although he
is usually alone and undsturhed by
spectators. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The other day he secured his rag
by driving his knife through II and Sc
cuely fastening it TO the plank on
which he was seated. Presently he
saw the knife trenble. and, looking
closer. he noticed The green head of a
frog which had seized the loose end of
the rag and was Juggling away at It.
The frog held ON until the artist re-
leased the rag and then pumped into
the water with it. AS the painter Is
fond Of vivid sunsets and uses great
deal of vermilion the mystery of where
his paint rags had gone was cleared up.
He remembered when he was boy he
used to catch frogs on fishhoo6s haited
with bits of red flannel.
