sale clearing and destruction of the
original forests. the removal Of the
natural food supply and home Of these
pests and with the increase of planting
of fruit trees and flowers the insects
were driven from their home to find
new pasture. Many Of these pests
were Obliged to change their habit and
feed on plants which they had not fed
on before our fruit plantations offer

have not been slow to occupy. From this
cause alone II great number Of our most

Of tie country and from foreign land
a large number of foreign species Of

The increase and damage caused by

COVER CROPS.

Grain Crops Tested In an Orchard.


Grain Crops Tested In an Orchard.
In 1902 cover crop experiment was
begun at the Michigan agricultural col
lege to test the relative value Of sever
al varieties of eowpeas, sand vetch,
velvet beans, Canada peas, crimson,
mammoth and June cloyers, oats, rye,
buck wheat. rape and HAT turnips.
The orchard which was selected for
the test contained apple trees which
range from ton to fourteen years old.
The land was thoroughly cultivated
during the first part of the season,
keeping it clean and covered with a
dust mulch On Aug 1 it was laid off
in plots Of one=quarter acre and sOwn
to the crops mentioned above. The
cowpeas We're sOwn broadcast on one
section and in drills on another. The
other crops were all sown broadcast,
the amount Of seed used ranging from
four to sixteen quarts of the coarser
seed. while two quarts of the clover
seed, one-half pound of the fat turnip
and one pound Of rape We're used. The
plots We're divided and one-half of
each WAS sown with oats to test their
valne az nurse cron The seeds all
made a good start, but the season was
cold and wet, and the coWpeas and
velvet beans made but n short growth
and We're killed by the first frost. They
should be sown in June and require
a warm season The sand yptch made

There was very little difference in
