We wish this devout Young minister
abundant success in his labours in
his Masters vineyard
We again are called on in casual
way out of respect to an old friend
and cOmrade to mention the sad and
unexpected death of Mrs. NJ. V.
Grimm made doubly sad from the
fact that Just one week before the
death of Mrs. Grimm, her eldest son
Edward lost his young wife tof which
mention was made in your last issue)
and now the mother of this bereaved
son is called in one short week. She
died at her temporary home at bod
son on Thursday last (23d inst and
was brought to her home at this
place on Saturdays accommodation
train and after services by her pastor.
Rev. f. Manages, she was LAID to rest
( in the Deer Park cemetery in "A lot
next to her daughter-in-law who as
stated had preceded her to the spirit
world one week before Mrs. Grimm
was the second oldest daughter of the
late Samuel W. Friend and his widow,
Mrs. Sarah Friend, of our town. also
sister of Mrs. Alex C. Mason of your
city, and has several brothers and
sisters in this place and leaves num-
Der of daughters both married and
single.
Miss Mamie Steinhart, of Keyser,
w. Va, is spending some weeks at
her aunt's, Mrs. Henneu. and NAV re-
main until this kind family move
back to their former home Miss
Steinhart has frequently visited our
place, and with her quiet, gentle dis,
position has drawn around her young
life many true and loving friends.
And nov, Mr. Editor of you will
not allow the chief of savage tribe
of a certain town in Garrett county,
only a small space, and if you protect
me as well as yourself, | will close
with a sweet trip of some OF Deer
Parks fair daughters, chaperoned by
three of its most cultured matrons.
We noticed this morning an elegant
span of horses .harnessed to a hay
wagon all decorated in the latest
style mud with Mr.. John Haines
handnng the ribbons, and as this
prancing team dashed by with its
feminine load we inquired what it all
meant and found out it was a select
party going to Kearney to visit the
sugar camp of our old friend Mr..
Samue! Steyer to enjoy the sweets
of maple sugar This evening we
gathered that Il most delightful
day had been spent and all the wax
and maple sugar that eight hungry
ladies and driver could devour was
consumed to keep them sweet until
certain clerical official from Baltimore
pays his weekly visit and contributes
his interesting letters to your con-
temporary paper. But to personate
we caught the names of all eight of
of this jolly hay ride, sugar fed party,
viz: Misses Gertrude S. and Amelia
Thrasher, Grace aud Lulu Marley,
and Miss Nevins, together with Mrs.
q. w. Haulenbeek, Mrs. Elmer Haul
enbeek and Mrs. Charles Schoolman
of Philadelphia, as chaperones, for
this sweet, sweeter, sweesest of all
spring time mud or hay ride parties.
Pardon so much space; good night.

Where Our Wealth Goes.

This from the Mt. Airy News:
"All the year round we ship ap-
Piles from this market to all parts of
the country, and at the same time
Nicholson Bros, of this city, are
shipping apples from New York to
this market. They do this because
there is demand here for fine
large apple and our people have not
yet learned to grade and pack the
fruit so that it is as salable as the
apples grown in New York"
And the following, published in a
paper in the trucking section in
Eastern North Carolina, illustrates
the same point:
fENo doubt a lot of Irish potatoes
shipped here from the North as
Northern seed potatoes, were grown
on Southern soil. Several years ago
it is said that Southern farmer
was growing Irish potatoes on a
large scale. He packed them into
barrels and sold them to Northern
dealers. One fall, while packing his
.retst1rttess de 1dst' his pocket knife.
The next spring he ordered his seed
potatoes from the North, because
he liked that kind best. When they
arrived he was surprised to find in
one of the barrels that very identical
pocket knife which he had lost in
the fall while packing those pota-
toes. That was an object lesson and
he repudiated the kind of economy
that man uses when he pays freight
two ways on stuff just to get shreWd
Northern business man to take care
of it for him during the winter"
This is Characteristic of our folks.

FIGHTING THE STRAWBERRY WEEVIL.


quite fully discussed in The Pro
gressive Farmer for June %, 1904,
and also in a special circular from
this office issued last October, and
which was sent to some $500 berry
growers In the eastern part of the
State.
As the weevil is again very de-
structive this year, however. it seems
advisable again to point out the
main features of it's habits and life
history and especially to emphasize
the methods which may be employed
against it.
Life History and Habits.
The adult weevils evidently pass
the winter mostly in the woods
whence they come forth during the
last day of March, when the earliest
varieties of strawberries are in
bloom. For a few days they feed
upon the pollen of the blossoms, then
mating and egg-laying begins. In
feeding the insects frequently
thrust the snout through an unopen-
ed bud to get at the pollen within.
When this flower opens later it
shows the small holes through sew
eral of the petals. The females pune
ture the buds containing pollen, and
in the punctures the eggs are placed.
Then they deliberately proceed to
cut the budd-stalk so that the bud
willis, drooFs over, and finally falls
to the ground. The egg within the
bud matches into a tiny white grub,
called the larva. 1t lives within the
bud in which it is Matched. feeding
on the pollen. As the severed bud
dries out, and falls to the ground
sufficient moisture is absorbed to
keep the larva from perishing. AS
the larva attains full growth it
changes to a pupa, still insinde the
same bud. The pupa stage lasts a
week or so, when the fully develop
ed beetle cuts it's way out of the
bud. These adult beetles emerge
from the cut buds on the ground dur
ing the latter part of May, and
Immediately take to the woods where
they feed on the pollen of the wild
magnolia, gall-berry and other plants
which are then in bloom. These
same adults which mature in May
and June in the fields pass the win
ter and come out in the psring again
to lay eggs and cut buds. There AZ
only that one brood, at lest so far
as is known, ..s'ed.clia brood, COM
p1slng thousand of weevils, comes
out soon after the picking ceases.
Can something be done to kill them
before they mature? We will see a
little later.
Main Food is Pollen.
Bear in mind that the main food
of the insects, both in the adult and
larval stae, is pollen. Hence those
varieties which do not bear pollen,
such as the Duff, Profit and Dixie
Belle, are not so much attacked as
those which do bear pollen. Some
buds will be cut, 10 be sure, but not
to compare with The number cut on
the pollen-bearing varieties.
The insects lay eggs and cut the
buds on a number of wild plants.
Blackberry, dewberry, rose, and ap-
pie are all attacked, to my certain
knowledge. Growers tell me (and I
believe the statement is accurate)
that they also cut buds of the rasp-
berry and huckleberry. Whether or
not the larvae can mature in the
buds of all the plants is not certain,
but it seems certain that they do in

put the land in peas, corn, cotton OF

some crop.
Young beds, which are to bear
next year. must be burned over more
carefully. Practical growers do not
seem to be certain as to the effect on
the vines for next year. Therefore
it will be well to burn hghtly-rak-
ing off and saving some OF the straw
perhaps, and burning the remainder.
IF your soil is very light burning IS
more likely to penetrate to the roots
and do injury than in case your SOIL
is compact.
The point to be emphasized here
is: Burn as much and as severely as
YOU can with safety, and, by all
means. get it done quickly after the
last picking. IF it be delayed it is
almost useless for the insects will
have matured and gone to the
woods.
Burning the edges of ditch-banks,
etc., at this same time, or even dur
ing the picking season, will kill many
of the insects on the dewberry and
other plants growing wild in such
places. A running fire through the
gall-berry bushes early in June. while
I the weevils are thick on the bios
SONS, will also help, but here care
must be used that the fire shall not
get beyond control, nor should valua
BILE timber be sacrificed. | believe
that burning the woods in winter
will have little or no effect.
uI.-Clean Culture.
Our berry growers already fully
appreciate the necessity for keeping
fields free from all weeds. We wish
here especially to emphasize the need
of keeping down all growth of black
berry and dewberry vines near the
berry feld-unless they be left for
the direct purpose of attracting
weevils and are then burned.
Iv.-Trap Crop.
The borders of the fields may be
allowed to grow blackberry and dew
berry vines for the special purpose
of inducing the weevils to attack
them, and then the whole may be
burned to kill the developing larvae
in the buds. A few rows of an es-
pecially early variety like Excelsior
and Mckinley, might be planted
along the border of a berry field next
to- the woods and deliberately sacri-
feed to the fire as soar ass -vtas- de- |
oofne thoroughly infested.
The trap crop, however, is always |
a more or less risky method of deal |
ing with insects. If it be neglected |
the insects mature and escape, max
ing matters just so much worse than |
ever. Also the burning may not be |
thoroughly done. IF the method is |
to be employed care must be exer- |
cised to follow it up and destroy the
trap.
V.-Spraying.
We have already stated that we
have not been able to find any rem
edy which can be applied directly to
the plants with satisfactory results
upon the weevil. However, the
strawberry is attacked by several
other leaf-eating insects and several |
fungous diseases, and for these the |
Bordeaux Mixture and Paris green
acts as good remedy and preven-
tative. l believe, therefore, that it |
is a good plan to spray the fields at |
least twice each season with this ma
terlal. First application should be |
made as soon as foliage is well ex-

remedy which when applied in the
infested fields, would kill or drive
away the weevils. Not to go into de-
tail, suffice to say that our conclu-
sion was that no such remedy is to be
had at economical cost-at least, we
could not find it then, and we have
not yet.
Persons who are familiar with the
character of the injury done by the
cotton boil weevil may get some idea
of the injury by this pest when it is
said that it is close kin to the cotton
boil weevil, is much like it in struc-
ture, habits, character of injury, and
the remedial measures are along
similar lines.
Six Ways of Fighting the Pest.
AS has been stated, no direct and
satisfactory remedy is yet known,
and we must depend upon what may
well be called cultural methods"
consisting in the selection of varie-
ties least attacked, burning where
practicable, good cultivation, etc.
Let us consider these methods more
carefully.
I.-Varieties.
The varieties that bear pollen suf-
fer most; those that do not produce
pollen suffer least. Here is the first,
best, and most important means of
avoiding injury. The Duff, Dixie
Belle and Profit are good varieties
which have already won their way
into favor and which do not bear
pollen. They may be planted for the
main crop. To fertilize them some
profuse bloomer like Excelsior. Su
perior or Thompson may be used.
These latter will be cut considerably
by weevil but will usually produce
sufficient pollen to fertilize the 9TH
ers.
H.-Burning.
Here we must use care and iudg-
ment, but fire may surely be used to
good advantage if taken at the
proper time. We have seen that at
the close of the picking season thercI
are countless thousand or cut buds
on the pra1nu' each of which (unless
l-vo1dent has prevented) contains a
larva, pupa, or adult weevil. We
also know Cor feel reasonably sure)
that these very same individual
weevils now developing in the buds
are the ones which will come back
to the field next year to cut the buds,
hence every one that we can kill will
mean just so many less for next
year. Also we know that within two
weeks after we finish picking these
weevils will be issuing from these
buds and going to the woods. Now,
therefore, we see the wisdom of
using fire as freely as possible just
as soon as the last picking is made
if delayed, the weevils will escape
and the burning will be useless.
Old beds. which have been picked
for the last time, should be burned
over as severely as possible so as to
bake every weevil in a bud or the
ground. The mulch of pine-straw
will aid the burning. If you can
run mower over the beds as soon
as the last picking is over, let the
cutting dry day or two and then
burn, vines, pine-straw and all,
good job will be done. "Can't spare
the humus." do you say?. Very well,
then you better not complain of
weevils,-this is a case where it is
worth while to get the humus in
some other way and take no unnec-
