June of the following year, when they

1t is evident that if the beetle can
be promptly exterminated the injury

subsequent much greater damage to
the roots by larvae will be avoided.
The first effort therefore should be to
effect the killing of the beetles, which
may be done by the use of an arsenical

THE GRAPEVINE FlDIA.

Injuries the Leaves, but Does It's
Worst Work ON the Roots.
The grape root worm is doing dam
age in both Ohio and New York by
gnawing the bark from large roots and
feeding on the rootlets OF vines. This
il the larva of the grapevine fidia, and
it's work has only recently become very
noticeable.
During midsummer the leaves of the
grape are frequently riddled with ;r-
regular holes by the attacks of little
beetle which when disturbed falls to
the ground with it's legs folded up
against it's body, feigning death or
playing sDossum." The beetle is about
a quarter Of an inch long, rather ro-
bust and of brown color, somewhat
whitened by a dense covering of yell
lowish white hairs. Following the in

expected, if the beetles have been

The tents are drawn up from the bot

ends of the gaffs and in position to

let down as far as they will settle.
The smaller the tree the lower they

men can easily handle the apparatus.
The tents are made of light sailcloth,

oil and dried. They are II feet in di-
ameter and IA feet high. AT the top
of the tent is a three-quarter inch gas
pipe to keep the tent expanded the full

of the tent is three-eighths inch steel

A single mast is mOrtised into bed
piece, firmly attached to frame, sled
like in form, or it may be fixed to
wagon, and guyed with wire to the
corners of the sled. These guy ropes
are attached to the top of the mast
and are tied to trees, two ahead and
one behind.
Two gaffs are fastened to the mast
and are each long enough to reach the
center of the tents, pulleys are at

for lifting the tents and placing them

Level Cultivation For Corn.

In cultivating / do not hill up corn
as was done when l was boy. The
manner of cultivation then required a
hill and the manure in the hill, for the
farmer would cultivate so deep he
would cut off the roots, SO the plant
was confined to a piece of ground
about as large as the hill. use level
cultivation and just stir the top of the
ground to keep down weeds. After
corn is planted / find the ground is all
full of corn roots, even running from
one hill to another, says Maine COR
respondent of American Agriculturist
The best time to work the ground is
before the corn is planted, using the
spring tooth and disk harrow. This
can be done to perfection if we go over
the land times enough. always in an
opposite direction from the last time

tomary strength of one pound to $50
gallons of water. The feeding of the
beetles on the upper surface of the
leaves makes them especially easy to
control by this means. If this be de-
ferred until it is unsafe to apply an
arsenical to the vines, the beetles may
be collected and destroyed in the same
manner as rose chafers. An effective
remedy, if applied before the larvae
have scattered, is to wet the soil about
the vines with solution of kesosene
emulsion. The emulsion should be di-
luted nine times and gallon or two
of the mixture poured in a basin ex-
cavated about the base of the vine.

CLEAN SUMMER TlLLAGE.
Recent Practice on Irrigated Land
lis Toward Deeper Cultivation.

Recent Practice ON Irrigated Land
Is Toward Deeper Cultivation.
Clean summer tillage is almost uni
versal practice in the fruit regions of
the Pacific coast. Tillage, particular
ly during the dry season of the year,
under some conditions directly deter
mines the need of irrigation and is to
a certain extent, as the popular phrase
goes, substitute for irrigation. In
der all conditions surface tillage, by
promoting conservation of soil mOis-
ture, is determinative of the actual
duty of water, whether it be from rain
fall or irrigation. The effect Of fire.
quent surface tillage has been accu-
rately determined by investigation and
experiment, both in humid and arid
regions.
These experiments fully support the
view taught by the experience of about
half a century in California, in ac-
cordance with which thorough winter
and summer tillage has been SO wide
ly practiced in the arid section as an
essential to successful fruit growing.
There are, however, some conditions in
which clean cultivation during the sea-
son of highest heat may not be the
best practice.
The relations of tillage to soil mois-
ture include both reception and conser-
walton. For the reception Of moisture
deep work with the pillow and some
times with the subsOiler also is almost
INDISPENSABLE To retain this moisture
and to prevent as far as possible its
escape into the thirsty air of the arid
region by surface evaporation less
depth and more thorough surface pull
verization are required.
Recent practice has been tending to-
ward deeper summer cultivation so
that five or six inches of loose, finely
divided soil is now obtained where
formerly half that depth was consid-
cred adequate. 1t has also been shown
that frequent stirring of this fine sur
face layer checks evaporation, even
when no water is applied to compact
the surface or where no weeds grow
to draw upon the soil moisture
In a word, the aim of tillage in the
arid region, SO far as it relates to mois-
ture supply in the soil, consists in open
ing the soil to rain or to irrigation and
in subsequently closing it to evapora-
ton.

Red Ton For Forage.

Red top (Agrostis alba, already es-
tablished in places in northern Nevada
and southern Oregon, could without
doubt be more extensively introduced
in many of the moister bottom lands.
Instances have been cited where it
was making good crop. and it will
without doubt grow well on TIE low
lands wherever the native clovers
abound 1t is pronounced by experts
one of the most promising plants for
the Improvement of portions of the
bottom lands. No finer quality of hay
could be desired than that which is
furnished in localities at the present
by this grass and the native clovers.

Rev. Theo. Taylor, who is well
known in this valley and at the pres
ent time pastor of the Methodist
Church at Susanville, Cal, with his
people, is rejoicing over the dedication
of their new church. Two years ago a
fire swept out a large portion of the
town and the church was among the
buildings destroyed. The pastor and
people at once determined to rebuild.
This time beautiful brick structure,
fire proof and costing about S., 500 was
erected. The dedication was long de-
layed in order to secure the services of
Bishop Hamilton, the resident Bishop
of California. A debt of 81 600 was
hanging over the building and it was
hoped this could be raised at the dedi-
cation. On July 9th Bishop Hamilton
met with the people, preaching morn
ing and evening and at the two SER
vices 1900 was secured by contribu-
tions. The church was dedicated free
of debt and the people and pastor are
happy.
