Prof. John Il. Smith. the New Jersey
State entomOlogist. predicts plague of
lI-year loCuStS next year. and has issued
Il bulletin to the fruit growers and farm
crS of New Jersey and nearby States to
the effect that it will be unwiSe to put
ont any young fruit trees this fall or next
spring. because of the danger of total
destruction. He describes il Ms the 22n1
brood of tn" periodical cicndn. which
made its last appearance in 1883, and did
much general damage.
The locuStS coming lay their eggs in
Sits made in the trunks. branches or
twi@s of the trees. and invariably cause
serious injury to young trees. The grow
crS are cautioned not to trim fruit trees
too closely, and, if possible, to do no
trimming at all 1t is also considered
wise to do no budding or grating.
Farmers are urged to be good to the
troublesome English SparrowS. They
can be utilized to combat the predicted
plague. The growers are charged to
,rcat the Spnrrows kindly because they
will greatly reduce the evil for they
feed on the larvae. The Endorsement of
| The sparrow, however. leads to much
confusion in the farmers mind. for only

termination of the sparrow was issued.

At the Poor Farm.

A visit to the County farm with
Supervisor Wallace, Wednesday after
noon, gave us an opportunity to OBJ.
serve the condition of it's inmates, and
the general features about the premi-
ses. There are but seven persons
maintained at the farm by the county,
and each one has a room by himself,
kept in neat and tidy condition and
they are occupied by persons who are
happy and contented. Mr.. Shacklock
has his room artistically decorated
with pictures on the walls in the good
taste that was feature of his better
days. Every inmate of the. home is the
especial object of interest of Mr..
Printz and his family and made hap
py and contented in the condition
that circumstances have placed them
in, and are worthy objects of the pub
lie charge. An excellent bath room
is provided and is kept In good con.
dition. The entire premises are in as
fine condition as we ever saw them.
Mr.. Printz and his daughters are
worthy the place they have and none
could fill it better. The farm work
has been we'll conducted and the hay
and small grain are all harvested and
secured, and Wednesday the flax
was being harvested. The corn on the
farm is in as fine condition as any in
the county, having been properly
cultivated and with suitable
weather will be good crop. But fears
are entertained for much of the corn
in this locality lest the extreme heat
has destroyed the pollen to such an
extent that it will not be sufficiently
fertilized. We observed in many
places the tassels were completely
dead and entirely useless for their
purpose.
