with his hands in his pockets.

gers as they came down the steps.
Two or three got out, but these were

splashed into meadows. They took

POTATO Outlook.

Without going into details, it is as re-
liable as anything that can be stated. to
say that Information from all sources
places the potato crop of the country
considerably short Of last year. Some
sections have shown a measure of rot,
but no one can tell at this time to what
extent the crop now in store will be re-
duced from this cause. In this state,
while some rot has caused damages in
occasional cases, yet it has BY no means
been general. ArOOstOok county pOta,
toes are free from rot, though the pei

the usual standard. From the present
outlook it is quite safe to look for ad'
vancing prices az the season goes on

Fall Flowing for Wireworms.

A very timely suggestion being sent
out by the Maine experiment station
ia that relative to fall plOwing to pre-
vent the depreciation of wireworms.
An unusually large number of COM
plants have been entered at the station
this year, and Prof. c. d. Woods makes
the following deductions:
Wireworms are slender grubs OF
yellowish white color and very hard
bodies. They are the young tlarv@) OF
click beetles, or swapping bugs, so called
from the fact that when placed upon
their backs they will suddenly bend the
body and, with sharp clicking sound,
throw themselves considerable dis
tance into the air. They are among the
most troublesome Of crop pests and as
thew live underground it is difficult to
combat them.
At the New York, Cornell, agricul-
tural experiment station, exhaustive ex-
periments covering a period OF three
years were made for the purpose OF
testing remedial measures. The state
ments here made are based largely up
on the results of those experiments.
Many methods that had previously been
recommended for the destruction of
these pests were found tn be inefficient.
To cite but one example; it was found
that the wireworms were still alive in
soil to which salt enough had been
applied to kill the vegetation.
One method was especially approved,
fall plowing. The explanation of the
beneficial results that follow fall plow-
ing is believed to be found in the follow
ing facts. Wireworms live for at least
three years in the worm or larval state.
When the worms are full grown they
change to soft white pupe during July.
The pupal st ge lasts only about three
weeks, the insect assuming the adult
form in August. But, strange to say,
although the adult state is reached at
this time, the insect remains in the cell
in the ground till the following April
or May, nearly year. This period OF
quiescence is apparently necessary to the
life of the beetle, for in every case where
the soil was disturbed after the insects
had transformed, the beetles perished.
By fall blowing We can destroy the
beetles in the soil and thus prevent
their depositing eggs the following sea-
son. After blowing (at least 8 inches
deep) the soil should be well pulverized
and kept stirred SO that the earthen calls
of the pupa and adults may be destroy
cd. 1t will usually require at least
three years to render the soil compara-
lively free from wireworms, as only the
pupa and adults are killed, the young
Larvae remaining uninjured.
