A. L. Melander of the zoology de-
partment of the state college of
Washington, has just published a
bulletin on The Wormy Apple"
Last year 1900 carloads of apples,
valued at 100000, were carried by
rail from the Inland Empire and this
was less than one-half of the amount
grown. Those not shipped were wor-
my and were left to rot or to be con-
sumed at home. 1t is figured that
the farmer lost 100000 to the worms
on last years crop.
The codling moth is the cause of
the wormy apples though not many
fruitgrowers are willing to believe it.
The borer which destroys the apple
moth. Wherever the apple can grow
the codling moth can live also,
The apple is essentially the food of
the codling worm. In some sections
of the state two generations of worms
occur each season. The worm of the
first brood is Matched from tiny flat
egg laid by the mother on or near the
young apple. When it matches it
| seeks shelter in the calyx of the apple.
Now it proceeds to burrow into the
apple feeding as it goes, remaining
there for two or three weeks, or till
it is grown, then it emerges and
seeks another hiding place.
When a suitable place is found it
spins a cocoon and in this it pupates,
that is, it changes to the brownish,
legless worm. After two weeks it is
again transformed to the moth.
Now eggs of the second brood are
laid on the apples and when Matched
the worms burrow through the skins
of the apples. Again this second
brood cocoon and remain over winter
as larvae.
Spraying. if done at the proper
time, is the effectual remedy for get
ting rid of these pests. The time for
the first spraying is just after the
blossoms have fallen and before the
calyx cup has closed; but as the
blossoms fall about two weeks be-
fore the majority of the worms enter
the apple, it is necessary to spray a
second time two weeks after the first
treatment.
These two sprayings usually prove
Jan effectual campaign against tht
first brood; however, if a spraying /!
needed for the second brood it should
take place about a week after the
moths appear to allow for the incu
baton period of the egg. Even &
fourth spraying may be necessary
two weeks later. 1t is essential tC
spray we'll and at the proper time.
The formula for spraying solution

Colonel William H. Crook, who I'm

guard to President Lincoln, and who
is now the disbursing officer at the

A GIRLS NATURE.
Little signs That, 1t Is Said, Reveal
Phases of Character,

k-nhbob OI NhhFhcNSrt
Much of a girls nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing a speck
off mans coat. If she picks off the
thread or imaginary bit Of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger it is an indisputable sign that
she is a woman of very practical and
executive character.
On the other hand, If girl should
brush the coat lapel of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger of her hand in her en-
deayor to remove an invisible speck it
is sure sign that she is more senti,
mental than practical The man who
marries her will live in a continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping.
There is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck off a mans
coat with a broad sweep of the hand
IN which all the fingers and thumb play
a part. She is in all probability an
athletic girl who eXcels at tennis, golf
and the links and who will prove a
high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower in a mans coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips of her
fingers is sure to be something Of a
coquette. while the maid who gives
you only the tips of her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room OF
public street is probably an ambitious
