Horticultural inspectors Institute.

Horticultural inspectors Institute.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture, a law was enacted that pro-
yided for a Horticultural Inspec-
tors Institute to be held each year
at the Agricultural College. All of
the county inspectors are required
to attend these Institutes. In re-
Spouse to this, State horticultural
Commissioner A. Van Holderbeke,
the county inspectors, and num-
Der of prominent orchardists of the
state were gathered here during the
latter part of last week for four
days institute.
They assembled at 2 p. m. We'd
nesday in Science Hall. After a
short address by President Bryan,
the regular lectures began. The
general topics discussed were Cor
chard Problems" "Some FUNGUS
Diseases and Insect Pests and Meth
DDS of Combating Them" and "Soi1
Texture" The lecturers from the
Experiment Station staff were Prof
essors Booth, Beattie, Severance,
Lawrence, and Melander. They
were assisted by two we'll known
orchardists of the state, Mr.. F.
Walden and Mr.. LaFollette. Much
interest was taken in these lectures,
and many of them were followed by
animated discussions.
On Thursday evening a recep-
ton was given them by the mem
bers of the faculty in the parlors of
Stevens Hall, A majority of the
inspectors and members of the fac
ulty were present. After an hours
chat, the college quartette sang a
couple of songs, and Prof. Kim
brough favored the party with
couple of selections on the piano.
Refreshments were then served by
four of the young ladies of Stevens
Hall.
In order that the inspectors might
not 60 away without seeing our in
stitution a two hours trip was TAX
en- at the conclusion of the lectures
Friday afternoon through the diff
ferent buildings. On Saturday
morning trip was taken to the
college farm and orchards. They
all seemed to be well pleased with
their visit. 1t is needless to say
that we were glad to have them
with us, and we hope that their
visits in the future will be as pleas
ant as the one just concluded.

the entomologist, tells us that the aphis of the apple
tree produces one hundred young in a single genera
ton, and that each one of these brings forth a brood
just as numerous, so that by the tenth generation,
which takes place just before winter. the number of
births amounts to one decillion, a modest sum that
requires thirty-four figures to express and of which it
is simply impossible to form any definite idea. Even
the sixth generation, provided that all the insects born
survive, must weigh more than many elephants.
This parthenogenesis or power of propagation on
the part of one sex alone, the agent that the aphis
uses to protect its race from rapid and complete ami
hilation, is a most effective means of accomplishing
The purpose. However rapid and ruthless the de-
struction of individuals of groups or of whole COM
munities, the rate of increase, spreading like a grow
ing conflagration in every direction. equals and sur
passes the progress of any and all devastating agencies.
The advantage of being able to multiply to intinity in
a short time is overwhelming.

Japanese:

you are more intelligent, better armed, disciplined
and commanded. Drawer and better sailors and SOL
diers than we are, what does it all amount to.

ing mass of tiny insects, interspersed with others of a
larger size. The smaller, which are of a delicate, light
gray color, are the offspring, the larger clad in green
are the parents.
there are millions upon millions of millions of the little
animals in the hop field. The vines are past hope,
past remedy. They have the blight of plant lice
of the aphis, upon them.
The aphis is a peaceful creature. soft-bodied and
succulent. 1t neither stings, bites, gives off offensive
odors nor assumes ugly and threatening attitudes to
frighten away foes and intruders. 1t is as defenseless
as a newly born babe, with no power of limb or of
wing sufficient to escape threatened danger, or skill
at Disgusting itself or of hiding from an enemy. Its
speedy extinction as a race would seem inevitable
for hosts of formidable foes prey upon its generations
except for one gift that nature has bestowed upon
it-only one: but it is enough.
Bonnet, a Frenchman, found out about it. He
put a single aphis upon a plant where nothing could
get at it, and watched. Morning, noon and night he
had that aphis under observation, with the whole plant
to itself and nothing to disturb it. 1t thrived, grew
apace, molted, and cast its skin no less than four times
in eight days. On the eleventh day something extra
ordinary happened: it brought into the world a living
duplicate of itself. This was the first of no less than
ninety-five offspring, which were all born within
twenty-one days of the first.
As all properly constituted insects were supposed,
on attaining maturity, to take to themselves a mate
and make more or less extensive preparations for egg
laying, this unprecedented method of obtaining a family
interested Bonnet. He wanted to see how far the
InlnS COulQ De ar11eu DO ne separated IL u Tie
second generation from the others, gave it a plant to
itself, and put it under observation. The same thing
happened to the second as to the first aphis: within
about the same period of time aphis No. ? gave birth
to ninety-five young.
Not yet satisfied, the Frenchman tried it a third, a
fourth, a fifth and many times more, no less than
nineteen in all, and every time the interesting little
family history was repeated.
At the end of these nineteen generations, fully de-
veloped males and females were produced, which
mated. A few eggs were laid: they Matched, and the
wonderful cycle of generations began over again. The
number of successive generations between the advent
of males and egg-laving females can, under suitable
conditions, be indefinitely extended.
Professor Huxley says: assuming each aphis to
weigh the ore-thousandth part of a grain, and a man
to weigh two million grains, the tenth brood Of one
single aphis would weigh as much as five hundred
millions of men. or more than the whole population of
China
am GID that Huxley said this: 1.-The whole popu-
lation of China" 1t could hardly be hoped that the
readers of The Sunday Magazine would accept such a
statement on any less authority. But you can, If YOU

To farmers and gardeners
the aphididG are an unmiti-
gated nuisance and a pest.
Their regular attacks upon
cultivated plants year by
year are deplorable, and it
sometimes happens after a
mild, dry winter that the
whole air is filled with dense
swarms of the winged v4rie-
ties, and that entire crops of
vegetables and cereals are
destroyed by Their combined
assaults.
To the naturalist dphidide
are among the most worthy
of investigation Of the insect
tribes. Their physiology.
their habits of life and their
classification all present in
teresting problems which he
finds delight in endeavoring
to solve.
But to only one class of
individuals are they of any
economic value, and these
individuals are ants. Ants
regard them as cattle, care
for, pasture and milk them
as cattle, and shelter and pro-
tect them as such. Any
one may see for himself the
attention paid to these little
creatures by ants. They
