passes into that wonderful sleep from which it
awakens perfect wasp. When the time comes for
to emerge from its prison. it bites round the cover

cocoon which cling about it. and crawls out to stretch
and dry its wings in the sun.
The first brood of wasps are all workers. and begin
to labor after leaving their cells. First the
home to be enlarged and they away parts of the
inside to make room. The cells are built in
tiers, each tier supported by strong paper columns
Over these platform is fashioned on which the
workers sleep at night and cold rainy days for
wasps seldom work unless the sun shines brightly
Now that her children have taken up the labor of
paper-inakng, the queen grows fat and lazy and sell
dom leaves her home. But fast the workers
finish new cells she deposits in each egg, and by
the middle of summer the tiny gray umbrella COW
ering the three four cells which the queen built in
the spring, has grown into large thriving city with
perhaps hundreds of busy wasps all working as fast
as they can from sunrise to sunset. They are very
neat housekeepers and the cells
Gated they cleaned and made ready for new
set of eggs. All rubbish is carried away, and rag
ged bits of paper torn from the nest IF any holes
are made in the home the wasps at once repair
them.
They are delighted at finding any bit of waste
paper, for it is easier to work up into pulp than
wood fiber, and if the curious observer will scatter
some coored paper wasps nest he will soon
find it carefully worked into the walls of their home.
AS the season advances, the worker wasps build
row of cells much larger than any they have made
before. From these the young queens and the
males, or drones, are 70 emerge Their appearance
betokens the beginning of the end of the colony.
When the young queens and drones come forth they
are carefully fed and attended by the workers, as
BELTS their high position. They to have
energy ambition to do anything for themselves but
fly out little on the brightest days.
After time the workers, like their queens lose
the power of making paper, and then they devote
themselves wholly to caring for the young. AS they
grow older they grow smaller, which is Just the OPP
posite from what should expect.
When they feel death approaching, the wasps drag
themselves away, seeming prefer to die in the
home where they have spent their short busy lives.
Soon all are dead, and only few young queens left
of all the industrious colony of the summer But as
each of these will start wasp city in the spring

Fruit Notaa


There are but few reports of injury
to early deciduous fruits in California
by frosts during the season thus far,
and no reports of serious damage.
Nearly all varieties were somewhat
late in blossoming. which is greatly in
favor of good crops, and unless heavy
frosts should occur within the next
few weeks these fruits may be consid-
cred safe for an unusually heavy yield.
Citrus fruits are in good condition.
Fruit prospects in West Virginia,
with the exception of peaches. which
are reported to be killed in some coun-
ties, are excellent.
Correspondents in few of the south
ern counties Of Missouri report that
peaches have not been greatly injured
and there will probably be few in
other sections. The early varieties are
now in bloom in the extreme southern
counties. Apples promise a good crop,
but it is believed that in most sections
small fruits will be light, owing to the
drouth last season.
Citrus trees in Florida have passed
through the winter in good condition.
A good bloom Is in evidence. and the
outlook is promising. Pineapples are
very satisfactory.

Cause of Oat Smut.

Smut is caused by fungus parasites
that grow within the grain plant.
eventually destroying the seed Of the
affected plant and communicating the
reed of the healthy plants by the scat
tering of spores largely during the
rlpening period Of the grain. The dust
like spores when dry are readily blown
to adjoining plants, or. coming in di-
rect contact with the healthy ones, In
oculate their neighbors. which in turn
continue to propagate the species. The
smut spores do not live over the win
ter in the ground. but are killed
through frost or inclemen. weather.
The smut affecting the crop lives dur
ing the winter as spores on the seed
grain, and begin their deadly work
shortly after the seed is sown. The
affected oat plant makes 4 sickly
growth and generally heads lower and
somewhat later in the season than the
healthy plants; therefore, the extent
OF the crop is not noticed by casual
observation. 1t Is largely due to these
facts that smut has been able to in
wade the oat fields unnoticed by the
farmer and has gained a strong foot
hold.-Bulletin 81, University Of Wis

Red Rnspberries-

Prof. L. n. Taft, of the Michigan
Experiment Station. reports on four
of the leading varieties of red rasp-
berries. n follows;
Miller-This is one of the first varie-
ties to ripen and for some localities In
Michigan It Is the best of the early
kinds. The, plants are vigorous and
quite productive. The fruit is sweet
and of good quality.
MarlboroeThe best early variety for
this section. Plant vigorous and pro-
ducuye. Fruit good in quality. Fruits
over long season.
Cuthbert-An old, well-known vari-
ETY. and ordinarily the most reliable
and profitable red raspberry grown
The fruit has vinous flavor. The
plants are vigorous and very produc-
tive. No other red raspberry in the
station collection has made 80 good
showing year after year as the Cuth-
bert
Golden Queen-A golden yellow var
iety belonging to the same species as
the red sorts. Very similar to Cuth-
bert in growth OF plant and in shape
and size OF fruit This berry is Of
very good quality and for home use
it is considered desirable. Should not
be planted for market.
