Oil In Louisiana.

The Plcayune of Tuesday in an
editorial under the above title re-
marks as follows:
The picayune has never doubted
from the first finding of oil at
Beaumont, Tex, that there is an
extensive oil district in Louisiana
Of course, the world demands q
gushing well to establish the fact
that a great oilregion exists in the
State, and all the indications are
that this demand will be realized
in few days.
There is good reason to believe
that oil will be found over all ex-
tenslye tract of country III the
parishes of Calcasieu, Acadia,
Lafayette, st. Martin and, per
haps, all the way to the Mississippi
River. Coal underlies the entire
region in Missouri, Arkansas, the
Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska and
Wyoming, and the oil Which from
those vast subterranean coal fields
has found it's way southwark,
through such channels as were
available to the Gulf coast.
There Is no reason to believe that
there is only SINGLE stream of oil:
but, on the contrary, there Is vast
flow which fills many subterraneau
conduits branching out under LOUIS
lana, as well as Texas. and the fact
will be demonstrated sooner or
later. The lnoIcatons are tina,
| gushers Will be struck IN a few DAYS
at or near Welsh and Jennings, not
to mention other localities where
prospecting is g,ing on.
Southwe tern Louisiana is re.
markable region geologically and
mlneraloglcalIy, with its extraordi-
nary mines of salt and sulphur.
Soon oil will be added TO them, and
conditions of activity like those on
the Russian shores Of the Caspian
Sea Will be created on the Gulf
coast of Louisiana.

too. when no permanent injury is ap-
parent, as in the case OF the Seeding
apples on the ground of the Ohio Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. who
can say that this unnatural retarda-
tion may not, after the first applica-
ton, prove to be menace to the life
or general vigor of the tree? 1t is
well known that, in nature, these re-
tardations sometimes occur, but nature
seldom. if ever, covers the bark of
tree or shrub, and then only in part,
with vegetable growths like Hchens,
and even these are known to be detri-
mental, a smooth, clean bark being al
ways desirable. In the use of refined
petroleum, one of the most perplex-
ing phenomenon observed was the fact
that, equally careful applications, made
by the same person, with the same
grade of oil, would give almost op-
posite results. Here recommendation
of the refined product for general use
has. in many cases, resulted disas-
trously and brought no little disrepute
to the chronological fraternity of this
country The most that can now be
said for the refined product is that a
ten to twenty per cent mixture with
water constitutes a fairly successful
summer wash and destroys the young
scale, thereby checking the increase
and spread until applications of whale
oil soap mixtures can be made.-Prof
F. M. Webster.

Use of Crude Petroleum in Orchards
The varying and sometimes disas-
trous results obtained from the use of
refined petroleum, on growing trees. as
an insecticide, and especially against
the San Jose scale. have led to the sus-
picion that the crude product might
be less variable and drastic in its ef-
fects- But SO far as it has been used
it would appear that we have yet
much to learn, before we can, with
safety, recommend the application of
the crude product to the different vari-
eties of fruit trees That it is efficient
in destroying the San Jose scale if it
is brought in contract with this insect.
seems now quite probable But the
hundreds of dead trees that mark the
areas where it has been indiscriminate-
" used. point very clearly to the fact
that great caution is necessary. and no
one Is, a. yet. sble~ to say just where
safety ceases and danger begins Then,

Tbe PIum Curculio.

Prof. E. c. Green-The plum curcullo
comes forth from winter quarters
usually in May. The egg-laying mark
of this insect is SO characteristic that
this curculio is commonly known as
the little Turk. The snout is used in
cutting the deep crescent mark, while
the spot representing the star of the
Turkish emblem is partly made by the
ovipositor. The egg matches and the
small, footless maggot begins feeding
on the plum under the tiny wilted flap
which formerly protected the egg. AS
the larva grows it eats its way to the
pit of the young plum and there it sets
up irritation which eventually
causes the immature fruit to drop. The
larva soon leaves the fruit and enters
the ground to pupate, emerging in
few weeks as an adult beetle. 1t is re-
ported by growers of European plums
that the curculio can be controlled oy
the use of arsenical sprays alone, the
success of the operation depending en-
tirely upon the thoroughness of the ap-
plication. 1t is advised. by way of
preparation, to prune the plum tree so
that no cross or parallel branches re-
main. The tree must be sufficiently
open to allow the nozzles to be used
1reely IN All paIIS OF Cne uedu- nc
plums must hang free from the
branches. Shortly after the blossoms
fall a very thorough spray of Paris
green should be thrown from the in
side of the tree outward, as well as
from the outside inward. In case of
rain the poison must be renewed.
When the mark of the little Turk is
noticed the strength of the spray
should be doubled and sufficient lime
added to protect the foliage. This mix
ture should be put on the plums them
selves, drenching them thoroughly. the
object being to fill the incisions made
by the insect in the egg-laying process.
/ am assured that if this is done care
fully the larva is usually killed short
ly after Matching, the wound gradually
grows together and the fruit develops
perfectly.

1t has been evident for good many
years that the quality of ranch horses
is improving The introduction onto
the range of high-bred stations has
had a marked effect. The ranch owners
a dozen years ago saw the need of i'm
proving the quality of their stock and
recognized the ease with which it could
be done A few PercherOn and Clyde
sires were introduced on different
ranches and the range sires were sent
to market. In year or two after that
the colts were noticed to be of a su-
perior type. Now the products of such
matings are competing with Eastern
bred horses in our own and in the Ca
a good many of these range colts have
been disposed of at auction. At one
sale forty-two colts were sold, the
prices received varying from $40 to
1920 These prices were low and at
them the animals went quickly.
Systematic protection of the forests

Fruit Bark Beetle.

Another pest discussed at some
length in a recent New York bulletin is
the fruit bark-beetle. This was es-
pecially prevalent last season and did
much damage in peach orchards in
Western New York, and in some scat
tered plum and cherry plantations. On
peaches its principal injury was due
to punctures of the bark on the trunk
and larger limbs, through which the
sap oozed and formed gummy excres-
cences. On plum and cherry, however,
more injury was done by punctures in
the twigs, causing death of the foliage
The natural home of this insect is in
dead bark, SO all brush piles and deao
trees should be removed from the or
chards. Caustic washes upon trunks
and branches serve as preventive
measure, and cutting of and burning
the infested twigs destroys many of the
beetles.
The cause of the wilt disease of
cotton, which has been more or less
destructive during the past two or
three seasons, is a fungus which at
tacks the plant from the soil. 1t first
enters the small roots and subsequent
ly grows into the tap, or stem. The
result is that the supply of food and
moisture carried up from the roots
is greatly decreased w. A. Orton of
the division of vegetable physiology
and pathology. United States depart
ment of agriculture, says that land
once infected with this disease has
never been freed from it.
The fruit grower must understand
his business. A novice should not
venture into the field of horticulture
recklessly- To be successful he must
determine to know the laws that gov
ern the growing of fruits, and most of
these laws he can understand only as
he comes into contact with them. It
is therefore necessary that he go into
the business only on small scale, and
increase as he learns

for all time and all eternity. The
earthly weighman counterpoises on
metallic balances the iron, the coal,
the articles of human food, the solids
of earthly merchandise, but he cannot
test or announce the amount of things
