SPRAYING GRAPE VINES,

have several plots of grapes that
have been treated for the grape root
worm by spraying. One lot was. not
sprayed at all and acted as check
on the other two. Two unsprayed vines
were badly marked and many clusters
of eggs We're found on them. On the
sections sprayed thoroughly about the
time the beetles emerged, there was
very little marking on the foliage and
few egg clusters. Still another lot
were sprayed about the same time and
a second time about eight days after.
ward, There was very little or no
marking visible and practically no egg
clusters on these. For spraying l use
four pounds arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons of water. 1 believe the grape
root beetle can be thoroughly handled
If the remedy is applied at the right
time.
Applying the remedy, however, is
only half the problem. The other half
lies in finding men who will apply
the spray thoroughly and at the pro-
per time. The leaves must be covered
with the spray to be protected and
must be there before the eggs are de-
posted. Fruit growers Of the Lake
Erie Valley have never before been
called upon to fight for the life Of
their plants with spray pump, and
as consequence very few of us
know what thorough spraying means.
1t is considerable more than they use
on potatoes for the beetles.-JOhn-D

An Anecdote Of Hugo.

The two volumes, "Premieres An
nees" and lie Soir de ma Vie," pub
lished by Jules Simon's sons after their
fathers death, are well worth care
full perusal. Among other anecdotes,
one is so peculiarly characteristic that
it may bear free translation. On the
memorable day Of the coup d'etat Jules
Simon, in company with deputy of
the Department de pIsere, was going
up the boulevards, when he was met
by Victor Hugo.
IF I were shot down and my body
carried through the streets, would not
the students rise en- masse" asked the
fury poet.
IT don't doubt It," answered Simon,
politely. This courteous confirmation
of his belief in himself was quite
enough for Hugo. He seized his friend
by the hand, pressed it hard, and then
rushed away by the Rue Vioienne to
expose his precious person to the bull
let's of the Prince Presidents myrmi-
dons. BY becoming martyr he hoped
to save the republic.
what have you doneT cried the
deputy, aghast.
'He is perfectly sincere" said Jules
Simon calmly; "but the Quarter Latin
is long way off,"
And, apparently, the heroic resolution
of the poet evaporated on the way, as
he not only survived the fatal second
of December, but had not scratch to
show after the encounter between the
troops and the people.
