It has been taken for granted that
the habits Of most of our beetles are
su6iciently known to permit the fruit
grower to determine whether certain
bsetle 10 a friend or foe. But we have
much to learn about the habits of
different insects with which we are
presumably we'll acquainted. Only
this season two beetles, Harpalus cali
sinosus and Harpalus Pennsylvanicus,
nave been found eating strawberries.
In fact, in some fields they became a
pest. All indications point to the the
ory that these beetles attacked the
strawberries for the seeds. Previous
to this time the beetles have fed on
enemies Of the farmer and was be-
lieved to eat only rag-weed seeds
among the vegetables.
A horticultural writer asserts that
Georgia will lose her peach acreage
On account of the San Jose scale. We
doubt the truth of that assertion.
While we do not wish to underestimate
the destroying qualities of the San
Jose scale, we do not believe it is be-
yond control in any Of our states. Ger
tainly such peach growers as Mr.. Hale
will not permit the scale to drive
them out Of peach growing in Georgia.
1t may be that some of the careless
unscientiSlc growers in the back dis
tricts will permit their orchards to be
annihilated, but that will only make
room for men that are willing to raise
fruit in thoroughly scientific man
ner.

Apple Prospects In Missouri.

L. A. Goodman, Secretary Of the

dition Of the apple prospect in that
state. He has compiled answers from
500 correspondents in "a counties.
Under date Of August 10, he says:

usual SO as to get as late report as
possible. Rains have been abundant
in most localities and the apples have
made fine gro 9TH, many apples being

the state will average about one-half
and that will mean a good many ap
pies. Orchards have been injured in
some localities by canker worms. by
grasshoppers, by drouth, or from the
effects Of the cold February OF 1899.
We can safely count on only one-half
Of the crop to be merchantable ap-
pies. and hence we may expect fair
prices for them.
