entomologists are already admonishing
farmers TO prepare for the coming, next
year, of the seveDteen-year locust. The
directions, if followed, may keep the
ravsges of the pests down to the mini
mum, To avoid injuries growers are
advised not to set out young orchards.
either this fall or In the spring. Ifthey
DO, they should leave as many shoots
aud branches as possible on which the
insects may lay sgys without harm to
the tree itself. Inc branches may be
trimmed out early in July, when sll
danger is passed. Fruit and shrub trees
should be trimmed as little as possible,
aud 1t will be better not to trim them
at all. No budding or grating should
be done either 10 the fall of 1901 or next
spring, as growing buds and gratis are
especially apt to be injured.
