TOO LITTLE DEBATE.
Senator Green's Opinion of the sery-
ices Held in an Episcopal
Church.

Senator Benton, of Missouri, one of the
most conspicuous figures OF the century in
either house Of congress, had a formidable
antagonist in Senator James Stephen Green.
Congressman Hit, according to the Chicago
Chronicle, relates this anecdote OF the two
gladlators:
Senator Green was not only a man Of
splendid genius, but OF charming manner
He boarded at the National hotel. where he
was popular with men and women The
latter found out that the senator was not
much of churchgoer and insisted that he
should mend his ways in that regard One
Sunday he was late for dinner. The women

punctures are shown at Il.
gust and September, it appears in each
case that the trees were grown at that
time in weeds and grass, cultivation
having been suspended for one cause
or another, and the orchard weeds al
lowed to grow unchecked. Inquiry
from the same reporters as to the
amount of injury in orchards where cul-
tivation was not thus suspended shows
in such an almost entire immunity from
the work of the pest. The inference is
too plain to need argument. Clean cul-
ture during the late summer, to keep
the ground free from the weeds on
which the young hoppers feed, will
protect the young orchard from attack.
When the trees are already badly
punctured the only thing that can be
done is to cultivate generously the com
ing season. to keep the injured trees in
the best of thrift and so assist them
in outgrowing the injury. It has been
suggested by some that the injured
branches should be pruned out and
burned, 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 re-
moval of entire trees, no part of the
small tree being exempt from attack.
The eggs which are laid in August in
the wounds in the bark hatch the next
May or June, and it is suggested that
at the time when observation shows
the insects to be emerging it viii be
possible to destroy most of the tender
young by a spray of Kerosene emul-
sion at moderate strength. So much
reliance may be placed upon clean cul-
ture, however that this spraying is not
considered necessary, though prac
teal method of destruction if done at
the right time.
