NEW FRUIT VARIETIES.
Those Who Develop Them Should Al.
ways Put Their Names on Trial
Packages They Send Out.

Every fruit grower should be on the
constant outlook for new varieties
during the fruiting season The fact
that not one seeding in 10000 is better
than our standard varieties makes it
exceedingly difficult to originate them
in a systematic way.
It requires years of selection and
testing on different soils and locations
to determine their true value. Occa-
sionally we find one in some out OF the
way place which has survived its fell
lows and attracted attention by its SUI

should be carefully tran splanteG 10 the
most favorable environments where its
est qualities may be developed and

BUFFALO TREE HOPPER.
Apple Growers Are jus, beginning e
Realize the Extent of Damage
Caused by This Insect.

Prof. a. +. Popenoe. of the Kansas
bulletin Gs in which he has the follow
ing to say on the Buffalo tree hopper:
Numerous inquiries received by the
chronological department of the Kan
sas experiment station from different
parts of this and nei ghboring states,
accompanied by specimens of apple
twigs and branches showing the work
of the Buffalo tree-hopper. lead us to
believe that the apple growing public

dance of this orchard insect, though
not aware of the method OF avoiding
the injury of its numerous punctures.
The facts brought forward by corre-
spondence with those who report the
damage confirm the previously pub
lished deductions of this station, where
the true nature of these in iuries was
first made known. Upon inquiry as to
the condition of the injured trees DUR
ing the previous August and Septeln-
Der, it appears in each case that the
trees were grown at that time in weeds
and grass, cultivation having been sus-
pended, for one cause or another, and
the orchard weeds allowed to grow UNI
checked. Inquiry from the same re-
porters as to the amount of injury in
orchards where cultivation was not
thus suspended shows in such an al
most entire immunity from the work of
the pest. The inference is too plain TO
need special argument Clean culture
during the late summer, to keep the
grounds free from weeds on which the
young hoppers feed, will protect the
young orchard from attack. When
the trees are already badly punc.ured.
the only thing that can be done is to
cultivate generously the coming sea-
son, to keep the injured trees in the best
of thrift, and to assist them in out
growing the injury. 1t has been sug-

gested by some that the njured branch

thus reducing the number of the pests
the next season, but if such plan were
to be put in practice. it would result in
many cases in the removal of entire
trees, no part Of the small tree being
exempt from attack The eggs which
are laid in August in the wounGs in the
bark, hatch the next May or June, and
it is suggested by this station that at
the time when observation shows the
insect TO be emerging. it will be possible
to destroy most of the tender young by
a spray of kerosene emu sion at q moo

be paced upon clean culture. however.
that this spraying is not considered as
necessary, though a practical method
