Time OF sowinx Tobacco seed.

There seems to be general rule for
sowing tobacco seed in each state with
reference to the frosts which are likely
to occur In the spring. Seed beds
should be planted from six weeks to
two months, according to the variety Of
the seed, before the latest date at
which killing frost has occurred In the
locality. This Ii for domestic seed.
Imported Cuban seed should be planted
a month later and imported Sumatra
six weeks later than acclimated seed.
Very vigorous varieties OF tobacco will
grow large enough to transplant In six
weeks. Other varieties viii take from
eight to ten weeks from the time of
sowing the seed.-Butterweck.

and that of leaflets folded by single
larvae in q recent report in which be
says:
The moths make their appearance In
the strawberry field during the first
half of May. In an ordinary season
they may be looked for almost any
time after May l. The eggs are pale
green In color. almost exactly like the
underside OF the strawberry leaf, and
are almost Invisible to any but most
careful examination. When the young
caterpillar matches, 1t must make a
journey from the underside of the leaf
on which Ii was born to the upper side
of the same or another leaf, and 1t
feeds for n day or two at least, prac-
tically exposed upon an open surface.
Moths may be found on the vines until
late in May or even in early June.
Then they disappear, and during the
first days of June the presence Of the
larvae becomes noticeable, increasingly
so as the month advances.
AS soon as Ii is hatched the little cat
erpillar makes its way to the upper side
rate leaflets are not yet fully expanded
and stretches itself along the midrib.
1t eats into the midrib or along the
side close to It, and very soon the up
per faces of the leaflet or lobe are
brought together and held in place by
numerous silken cords, while the insect
spins a partial tube or lining inside, in
;a, 10 tt.s.z, fnt 11nl In nf ftc
1t has been shown that just after 1t
Is hatched and while the larva is yet
very small 1t wanders from its place
of birth to the upper side of the leaf,
feeding here a-.d there, before settling
down. 1t must be the object of the
grower to poison the foliage so early
in the season that when the young
caterpillar starts feeding 1t can find
no foliage that 1t can safely eat.
Therefore as soon as moths are found
flying in fair numbers spray with paris
green or some other arsenite. AS the
plants grow rapidly and new leaves
are being constantly added, spray
again a week later and q third time
the week thereafter. This will catch
the great bulk of the caterpillars that
would become injurious In June.
A single spraying will do compara-
lively little good, because the moths
extend the egg laying period over so
long n time. The first larvR are al
most full grown before the last eggs
are Matched. The actual date of spray
ing depends upon the season and the
time of appearance Of the moths. When
the fruit Is well advanced, all poisons
must be of necessity kept off,
