Nets ON Apple Trees.

AT recent convention reported by
the Farmers Review, Prot. Webster OF
the Ohio Experiment Station reported
the results of some experiments car
ried out by him in netting apple trees
to keep OF the coddling moths. A
number of trees were covered with
nets to keep out the moths, and be-
side them We're number OF check
trees left uncovered. When the apples
were harvested II was found that 10
per cent We're wormy on the covered
trees and over 20 per cent wormy on
the uncovered trees. II will be no
tlced that even the apples on the COW
cred trees were affected to almost one
fifth OF all. Just how valuable the ex-
pertinent is We cannot say. especially
as we do not know how near the COW
cred trees were TO the uncovered. 1t
seems to the writer that one very i'm
portant part has not been reported
We wish to ask: Did not the moths
that tried to get onto covered tree
turn away from that and go onto an
uncovered tree, thus making the num-
Der OF wormy apples there very much
larger than 1t would have been under
ordinary circumstances? II such were
the case the relative value of the COW
ering would be lessened for actual use
Also, did the covered tree bear as much
fruit as the uncovered one? We ask
this. as the netting that kept out the
moths might also keep out the in
sects that assist the cross-fertilization
OF the blossoms, it having been quite
fairly demonstrated that even our ap-
ole trees benefit by this cross-fertliiza-

water In Cereal ProductIon.

A wheat-raiser says that subsoillng
will Increase the yield of wheat in his
vicinity, but that the amount OF water
used in the production of the crop is
greater. That is most certainly so and
It is no argument against sub-soiling.
Every Increase in the crop of any
thing means very large increase in
the amount of water used. No other
condition is possible. II takes cer-
tain amount OF water to convey the
food to the grain OF the plant, and
the amount of water used is hundreds
of times the bulk Of the food carried.
This water Is not used over and over
again, so far as we know, but after
acting as a conveyer is thrown off from
the foliage of plants in the form of
vapor Experiments have shown that
for every pound of dry wheat created
there is used 453 pounds of water. 1t
will thus be seen that to increase the
yield of wheat by one bushel means
the added use of 271S0 pounds of
water This Is over 13 tons. Anent
this subject 1t may be interesting to
NuoAS Nht SOhCiublOuS arrived at Dy
Professor King OF Wisconsin rs to
the amount Of water used in the pro-
duction of the leading grains. To elab-
crate one pound of dry matter the re-
quirements are as follows: Barley, 461
pounds; oats, 503 pounds; corn, 27O
pounds; clover, 576 pounds; peas. Az
pounds; potatoes, SS5 pounds. These
hgures present an interesting study.
The low demands of corn show that
1t is crop adapted to limited water
supply and point to ito origin and de-
velopment in a country semi-arid in
nature. II will explain why the corn
crop comes through drouths that de-
stroy other crops. AS to subsoiling
for the increase of water supply 1t
must be remembered that that is the
prime reason for the process, as 1t in
creases the water reservoir OF the
soil.

Spraying Fruit Trees In bloom.

There is at present much contro-
versy whether or not fruit trees should
be sprayed when in bloom. In the state
OF New York law has been passed
making 1t a misdemeanor to spray fruit
trees when in bloom, on account OF
the danger to bees. II is without doubt
true that some bees are killed by the
poison in the spray. In one case re-
ported a whole hive Of bees were
killed. and an examination showed ar
senic in the digestive apparatus Of the
bees.
1t has also been discovered that the
poison is equally destructive to the life
of the pollen, even when the amount
of poison is only 8 to 100 parts In 1O,-
900. Even two parts in 10000 has been
frequently found fatal to the pollen.
The danger to the pollen is, however,
greatly lessened by the fact that the
blossoms do not all open at once, but
the process extends over several days
In a clump of five apple blossoms the
central one opens first, and spraying
at that time kills the pollen in only
those open blossoms.

nutritious of all the legumes, but its
havor Is pronounced and to some per-
sons not as agreeable as that of the
pea and bear. II has sometimes been
claimed that indigestion and other bad
eHects followed the eating of lentlls
but this impression is known in some
cases to be traceable to the use of GER
tain poisonous vetches, whose seed
much resembles the lentil. There is
every reason to consider the lentil a
wholesome food. Until recent years
the lentil was little known in the Unit
ed States, but with the growth OF the
Foreign population its use has steadily
Increased. The lentils found In our
markets are all imported. but the cul-
ture of this legume with European
seeds Is being tried in our southwest
ern territories and elsewhere. There
is already grown in New Mexico and
Arizona, as well as In Mexico, a small
variety OF lentil. the seed of which
was doubtless brought from Spain CEN
turies ago by the ancestors OF the
present mixed race living there. The
sandy soil of moderate fertility seems
adapted to II; IL has become accli-
mated, is hardy and prolific.

There are many things about the
physics of soils that remain to be ex-
planned. One of them is the movement
OF soil moisture, both as relates to the
water table and to tho moisture pres
ent by capillary attraction. Thus we
notice that in some experiments made
in North Dakota 1t was determined
that the water table falls during the
winter season, but there is little or no
loss of soil moisture and there is an
actual gain of moisture in the surface
soil, which is not due to rain or
snow" A possible explanation is that
the cold earth, even in its frozen state,
may act as a condenser OF the moisture
in the air, on days when the sempera-
ture of the air is above the freezing
point. Another explanation may ba
that the air in the soil actually circu,
lates toward the colder surface soil,
and deposits its moisture there by
condensation, just as is the case with
the air above the soil. However,
further investigation of the subject
may show the main causes of such
concentration of the water supply and
its advantage to agriculture.

tion. II may yet pay well TO protect
some of our fruit trees with nets.



Professor Waite OF the Department
of Agriculture has been investigating
the work OF the bee relative to its car
rying OF disease germs from flower to
Hover, and expresses the opinion that
the bee is largely responsible for the
distribution OF the peach rot fungus.
The bee himself does not puncture the
peach, but gets to work on the peach
after the wasp and the soldier bug
pear blight Pear trees do not usually
show much blight till they bloom and
begin to bear fruit. The pear blight
virus Is gummy and can't be blown by
the wind; IL must be carried by in
sects. II the virus dries II dies in a
few days. A twig that has died of
blight is no longer a menace, because
the virus that killed the twig is dead
also. II is therefore evident that the
germs are spread by insects, especially
bees.
On the other hand the bee is q great
increaser OF our crops through his
work of cross -pollenization. Many of
our plums and apples are sterile to
their own pollen, but such Is not true
of the peach and ounce. The pear is
not OF the type that produces pollen
that is borne by the wind. From the
biological standpoint the bees are do
ing their natural work in visiting
blossoms, and in spite Of what harm
they do they are necessary to the best
results In our orchards.

Fertilization Of Flower.

Insects are necessary to the fertili-
zatlon of most flowers; and were II
not for insects, especially honey bees,
many of the crops we now have would
be wanting. There are a good many
flowers that produce pollen that has
no means of getting from flower to
flower except by the medium of in
sects. On the other hand some plants
throw off great quantities of pollen
without the help of the insects. Prof
James Fletcher relates that when in
British Columbia some people came to
him and asked him to explain show
er OF sulphur that had apparently fal-
len during the preceding night. He
assured them that there had been no
shower of sulphur, but that what
looked like sulphur was in reality the
pollen OF pine trees.

Campbell Method q, Soil culture.


Some years ago the Campbell method
of soil culture made a considerable stir
in agricultural circles. Recently little
has been heard of it, The only refer
ence made to IL this year is in an ex-
pertinent station bulletin, which says:
"The Campbell method has yielded
small crops of wheat, and has given no
appreciable saving of soil moisture"
AS some of our readers will remember
Mr.. Campbell, the inventor Of the tools
used in this process, claimed that the
stirring up of the ground was not an
advantage to crops, and that where the
soil was plowed 1t should be again
compacted as firmly as 1t had been at
first. If that we're possible. He said
that the ordinary roller only COM
pacted the first two inches of earth,
but that below that crust the soil was
light and loose. The roller he invented
was arranged to penetrate the soil and
compact the earth down to the depth
of the plowing. while at the same time
a dust mulch was left on the surface.
At one time some of the experiment
station men looked quite favorably on
the scheme. Results, however, have
shown it of no value.
