OLIVE CROP.
Sudden Appearance of a Scourge which
Threatens the Industry.

The agricultural authorities of Italy
are at loss to account for the sudden
appearance of what has become in Il
short period a scourge of a disastrous
nature to certain parts of the country
and one which bids fair to ruin a large
number of the agricultural inhabitants.
This is the "mosca Olearia," or "oil fly
which insect is working havoc in the
olive groves that form so important
feature in Italy's agricultural indus
tries.
This comparatively unknown insect
has invaded the fertile Provinces of
Puglia, and the terrible destruction
it is causing there has induced the
Italian Ministry of Agriculture to its
utmost efforts toward the discovery
Of some means of protecting the olive
trees from it's ravages. No method is
at present known to eradicate the
scourge and although rewards of many
thousands of francs are offered for the
discovery of a means of destroying the
insect or preserving the trees, no one
has yet claimed the proffered prizes.
According to the Hon. Signor Mawry
Deputy for Puglia, and one of the lead
ing authorities on the subject, the coil
fly" derives it's being from an egg which
is deposited in the trees during Win
ter. The eggs opens in the Spring, pro-
ducing larvae and butterflies with mar
vellous rapidity. The insects are
Matched in immense swarms, and in
short time destroy the pulp of the
olives. The only cure known at pre-
sent is very cold weather, a heavy snow
storm or a strong frost being the only
means by which the eggs are destroyed
before Matching.
The infection appeared for the first
time last year in the province of Leece,
and has since developed to a greater
of less degree in all the live-growlng
districts of Southern Italy, the des-
truction being heaviest in the district
of Puglia, where the Winters are so
mild as to leave the eggs unframed.
In Puglia the olive is the principal
object of cultivation, and the making
of the new oil forms one of the chief
occupations of the inhabitants. Even
the poorest and richest ground, inca
pable of producing other vegetation
of any value, possesses a sufficiency Of
soil for the olive tree, which further
more, requires as a rule, but little

THE PUMPKIN.
An Illinois Editor Who is Fond OF
That Fruit"

We like pumpkins. The finest fruit
that grows in the farmers orchards in
North Illinois is the pumpkin. And
pumpkin pies will soon be ripe. How
our mouth waters in anticipation of the
luscious pumpkin pies! Glory and fame
to the poet who wrote of the happiest
time of all the year on the farm, when
the frost is on the pumpkin and the
folders in the shock" What happy
memories of our boyhood days on the
farm when we went out into the ORCH
ard in the fall of the year and climbed
the pumpkin trees, and picked the nice
ripe pumpkins.
Sometimes people think that the
pumpkin is a vegetable. What a mis-
take! That the pumpkin belongs to the
fruit family, and is not a vegetable, Is
proved by the following: A Hoosier
stood on the banks of the Wabash,
when solitary raft came floating down
stream. The Hoosier on shore hailed
the Hoosler on the raft with Hello,
stranger" And the reply came, Hello,
yourself" "Where do you hail from?"
"Posey County, Indiana" Where are
you bound for?" New Orleans"
what are you loaded WITH" Fruit
and lumber" What kind of fruit and
what kind of lumber?" "Hoop-poles
and pumpkins" Who can now doubt
that the pumpkin is fruit, and not a
vegetable?

when pumpkin pies will be ripe!-Free-
