them to drop quickly. A sheet Is

plums where hogs have the run Of the

practiced but few curculio will be
found after the first year. The few
plums that fall punctured by the cur
cullo which were not destroyed or
which have done their work before,
are eaten by the swine, which pre-
vents the exit of the larvae; and In
this way an orchard is almost i'm

FARM WORK DRAes.
Weather of the Past Reported as
UnfaVorabIe.


UnfaVorabIe.
The Wisconsin crop bulletin for the
week ending April %. says the
weather has not been favorable for
farm work and very little has been
accomplished. During the early part
of the week the temperature at night
was generally several degrees below
the freezing point at most interior
localities, causing the ground TO
freeze to the depth of an inch or more.
This condition prevented the son.
which is thoroughly saturated from
the melting of the snow that fell last
week, from drying out, and rendered
work on the land difficult
The alternate freezing and thawing
has been detrimental to winter wheat,
rye, and clover, and these crops are
generally considered in less promiS-
ing condition than last week. New
clover seedlings are considered gen
orally satisfactory but old clover is
badly damaged.
The latter part of the week was
much more favorable with regard to
temperature, Saturday being very
warm and spring-like. At Milwaukee
the temperature reached 66 degrees
Saturday evening. the highest re-
corded since October 29th, 1908. The
rains which were general over the
state Friday and Saturday, together
with the high temperature. gave
vegetation its first start for the sea-
son, but will prevent work on the land
for several days. Some blowing was
done on light, sandy soil during the
week and in a few localities in the
southern counties a small acreage of
oats was sown.
Apple trees appear to have with
stood the winter well and are con.
sidered in satisfactory condition.
Strawberries are reported in good
but plums, blackberries. and
were more or less injured
