New Jerseys EntomOlOEfst Warns
Farmers to Prepare for 1t.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Trenton. N. j., says:
State Entomologist John B. Smith pre-
diets plague of the seventeen-year locust
next year in this and adjacent states, and
has issued bulletin to the fruit growers
and farmers of New Jersey that it will be
unwise to put out any young fruit trees
this fall or next spring, because of the
danger of total destruction.
He describes it as the twenty-second
brood Of the periodical cicada, which made
It's last appearance in 1885 and did much
general damage, particularly affecting the
fruit-growing sections of Burlington, Cam
den. Mercer, Monmouth, Middlesex Pas
sale, Norris. Warren, Sussex, Somerset and
Hudson counties.
The locusts coming lay their eggs in Sits
made in the trunks. branches or twfgs of
the trees, and invariably cause serious in
jury to young trees. The growers are eau
TONED not to trim fruit trees too closely,
and, II 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 treat the SPAR
rows kindly because they will greatly re-
ouces the evil. for they feed on the Iarvea.
fhe Endorsement of the sparrow however,
leads to much. confusion In the farmer, 5
mind, Tor only short time ago a new edict
Tor the determination of the sparrow was
issued.
1t has been discovered that sparrows are
the carrier OF the San Jose scale, which Ia
SO much dreaded by the fruit growers.

- R& O

Sells & Gray's show, which ex-
hibited here on Wednesday of
last week. was pretty good one,
but the trick by which many were
fieeced out of ten cents in addi-
tion to the regular price of adj
mission was utterly reprehensible.
A man on the grounds began
selling tickets a half hour or more
before the door opened at sixty
cents, and many, supposing that
this was the regular price, paid
the sum demanded. Later, an
other man nearer the door sold
the. same tickets at fifty cents.
The same trick was played at
Lafayette some months ago, ut the
Wild West Show. Such practices
are a-disgrace to the managers who
permit them-and doubtless profit
by them-and the people should
