ninety million people in the United
States, and more than one-third OF
these are engaged in agricultural

There is no way to honestly put
out of sight the interdependence of
our people, and yet the one class that
could live absolutely without the ex-
istence of any of the other classes is
the farming community. In view
OF these self-eyident truths it does
seem that the industrial and mercan-

people, would be mindful of every

profitable and pleasant. The pres

means of reaching church houses and
school houses, and all that they have

1t should be matter of general pub
lie concern to have the highways in

never establish satisfactory systems
of roads, nor should they be expected
to. The cost of road construction
should be equitably distributed, and
this can only be done through national
aid.

side.
Nevertheless, after all is said there
are few people who do not like to ride
along the shady roadway; 1t is always
admired; few farmers are willing that
full grown, thrifty trees should be
sacrificed, and not infrequently the
farm itself will command a better price
per acre simply because the prospective
purchaser is pleased and delighted with
the stately, comfortable and wholesome
feeling that the shady roadside gives to
the farm.
A type of the shady roadside is shown
in our illustration. The trees are pines,
but pines need not be used unless de-
sired. They are frequently admired be-
cause of their evergreen appearance.
The oak and the elm are often much adj
mired, and may be grown successfully
in almost any northern climate.

In the south they are laid on the edges

When the eggs are laid, the surface of the
twig is first roughened by the jaws. The
eggs are then laid, one after another, the
successive ones being pushed for a
short distance in under the preceding.
The number laid by each female varies
from 100 to $50. In the spring the egg

THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.
Suggestion as to Effective Method of
Preventing Injury to
Plants.

The only effective way to prevent
injuries to asparagus by asparagus
beetle larvae is to destroy the eggs
before they hatch. says the Orange
(Ind.) Farmer. The first eggs ara
laid on the young shoots; later on
the grown plant. They are black,
about 1-16 inch long and set nearly
at right angles to the stem; So,
though small, they are fairly conspic.
uous. In few days they hatch into
Shiny, greenish slugn with black
heads, legs and dots on the body.
The simplest way to manage is to
leave a few inferior shoots for the
females to lay eggs on. When four
or five days old these shoots must
be cut and burned and others allowed
to replace them. To simplify this
cutting and to reduce to a minimum.
the chance of missing any plants,
those allowed to remain should be
all in certain parts of the field on
certain days. The field should be di-
vided into four or three equal parts,
depending on the frequency of cut.
ting. At the first cutting the trap
plants should be left in the first Sec
ton and so on. In each other section
every punky stalk should be cut with
the marketable ones and burned.
Every trap plant in any section must
be cut on the fourth or fifth day and
the plan continued through the cut
ting season. This will completely
protect the field from late attack and
reduce possible infestation the next
season, provided no asparagus is al
lowed to grow in fence rows and
waste places and provided neighbors
are as careful.
