A SeedIeSS

The latest sensation in the seedless
fruit line reported at Washington is
a seedless persimmon. The officials
of the Department of Agriculture the
other day received a visit from Mr..
John H. Drury, who brought with him
a specimen of seedless native persim-
mons from his place near the national
capital.
The general impression is that the
seedlesS persimmon is either non-ex-
istent or nearly so in this country. A
seedless variety of this fall luxury is
not, however, a new thing, but, on the
other hand, a number of trees are scat
tered throughout the South bearing
seedless persimmons. Seedless speci-
mems are occasionally found in the big
Japanese variety and they are rather
rar and the flavor is nothing to be
compared to the native sort.
A number of instances are known by
the officials of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry of solitary persimmon trees
bearing seedless fruit, but when pollen
from other persimmon trees in the
neighborhood is brought in contact
with the flowers of the seedless sort
the resultant fruit will be full of seed.
The fruit brought to the Department
of Agriculture by Mr.. Drury proves to
be a little smaller than the average
native persimmon. The specimens
when cut across were absolutely seed
less and while the fruit was COMPARE
lively small it had really more meat

Farmers of the United States in ad-
dition to county, State and national
taxes, probably pay a much heavier
toll than they do to all three of the
above. The tax collector in this latter
cast is one which is merciless and
overbearing, paying no attention what
ever to the necessities or obligations OF
the agriculturist each year, calling for
his dues unremittingly, and gloating
over the misfortunes of his tenant.
The tax collector in this case, however,
is the insect. The losses resulting
from the ~depredations of insects on
all plant products of the soil, both in
their growing and in their stored state,
together with those on livestock, ex-
coed the entire expenditures of the Ma
tional Government, including the pen
sion roll, and the maintenance of the
army and the navy. Enormous as is
the total value of all farm products of
this country it often would be much
greater were it not for the injurious
work of insects. According to figures
compiled by the Department of Agri-
culture the estimate is made that the
total value of farm products during the
last year amounted to S. 5000, 900, 900.
The Bureau of Entomology, of the
Department of Agriculture, being IA
miliar with the work of the important
insect pests, estimates the probable
shortage due to insect damage at a
minimum of 10 per cent, while in

THE FIRE ENGINE DRYER.
There May be Better Drivers on
Earth, but if There Are, Where
Are Thew

Is there a better driver in the world
than the man who drives the fire en-
CINE? If there is, he is yet to be dis
covered.
Here was an engine coming along
a cross street, to turn up an inter
secting avenue. Under the edge of the
roundabout corner where the machine
was to turn there was a sewer opening,
with the street pavement sloping down
smoothly toward it all around from the
higher general level of the street.
If the driver, coming as he was at a
dead gallop, should make a broad turn
around this corner, out where the
swing more or less, thus checking the
horses speed, and there would be a
second or two lost before they could
get the load Strengthened and get under
full Roadway with it once more, up
the avenue. But if the driver could
make that corner with the two wheels
on the inner side of the curve down
in that sloping depression leading to
the sewer opening close by the curb,
and the two outside wheels on the
higher level nearer the middle of the
street, the higher level here would be
for the engine what the banked up
outer rail is for the locomotive round
ing a curve, making it so he wouldn't
lose an inch. And that's the way he
did make it.
Before he knew it a man who had
been standing at the edge of this cor
ner, waiting to see the engine go by,
saw it SO near to him and pushing in
so close to him that he could have
touched it. The driver, aloft in his
high seat leaning inwards as he was,
too, actually hanging over him as the
engine passed, with whistle screaming
and steam Kissing, and that driver, as
he flung EN- in this fashion round this
curve, was talking low to his horses
and calling on EN- each by name-a
man absorbed if there ever was one.

TO FUMIGATE AN ORANGE TREE.

years of excessive insect damage the
shortage may amount to so per cent.
Tie annual shortage of 10 per cent. is
a low estimate, which is more often
exceeded than fallen below, and indi-
Gates at current farm prices a money
loss of $780, 900, 000-the minimum
yearly tax which insects lay on the
products of the farm. This estimate,
however, does not include the damage
caused to farm products in storage,
such as cereals and forage crops and
to natural forests and forest products,
assigning at least 500, 600, 900 to each
of these two items. The total annual
tax then chargeable to insects is
500, 000, 900 annually.
The item of loss from insect damage
not only includes the actual destruc-
ton or injury to crops, but the esti-
mate must also include a very import
ant item-the amount of money de-
voted to insect control. This amounts
to a very considerable percentage of
the value of the crop in the case of
orchard fruits, truck crops n such
field crops as cotton and tobacco. For
instance in estimating the losses due to
the cooling moth it has been shown by
figures of the Department of Agricul-
ture hat over SIS, 900 900 a year is ex-
pended in spraying apple trees, allow
ing a cost of only 5 cents per tree.
The cost of gassing and spraying citrus
fruit trees ranges from 5 cents to $3.50
per tree. Another source of loss is
that oc~casioned by a diminution of GER
tain crops such as wheat or cotton.

the leafworm, while many other in
sects iniict minor damage. Without
counting the losses due to the latter
class Of d~epredators we have a total
loss of more than SAC, 900, 900 charge
able to the three important insect
pests of cotton.
Vegetable and other truck crops are
especially subject to insect injury. and
furthermore in the case of these crops
there is always a large expenditure
for the control of insects. The orchard
and smaller fruits suffer heavier loss
from insect pests, both directly and be-
cause of the expensive methods of
treatment necessary to prevent still
greater losses. There are several hum
dred insects which d~epredate on the
roots, trunk, foliage and fruit of the
apple. The important pests are the
woolly aphis, injuring the roots; the
trunk and limb borers, the leafworms,
canker-worms and tent caterpillars,
and the various scale insect pests, in
Guiding the San Jose scale. Injuring
the fruit are the codling moth, the
cuculio, and the apple maggot.
The insect losses to other deciduouS
fruits are quite as heavy as in the
case of the apple and especially when
the treatments for the San Jose scale
and other scale pests are considered;
and in the case of citrus fruits the cost
of treatment is much greater and the
actual losses again heavier.
Forests-especially planted forests OF
artifcially wooded rea on farms

THE ARTIFICIAL LIFE.
Consists In Part In Eating Adulter-
ated and Injurious Foods.

The State Board of Health of Massa-
chusetts has had chemical analyses
made of prepared foods and the report
of the Board shows what we really eat
in the course of everyday life. When
we use pepper, We also get ground
nutshell and fruit stones with a little
pepper mixed in. Mustard consists
chiefly of wheat flour and turmeric,
this latter is an East Indian saffron
colored root with an acrid and pungent
taste. When we use lime juice We get
a little of the juice with 40 to So per
cent. water, the whole preserved with
sulphurous, s~alicylic or benzoic acid.
Ale is preserved with salicylic acid,
also porter and likewise beer; pure
than cane syrup. Canned clans are
preserved with boric acid.
While this revelation of the Massa-
chusetts authorities is something aw-
full to contemplate, yet We are stag
gered by a further report of the Board
which shows that an e%nterprising
chemist has discovered that the odor
of spoiled eggs can be neutralized
through the addition of formaldehyde.
Since this discovery a number of es-
adjustments have entered into the
business of collecting bad eggs, treat
ing them with formaldehyde and sell
ing the mixture to bakers, who use it
in cake and other foods sold to the
public. While the addition Of formal
dehyde utterly destroys any bad door,
he process renders the eggs extremely
nurtful to the human system. Form
erly the mixture Of bad eggs was rold
to leather manufacturers, but cir &c
this later discovery the price of rixed
eggs has risen from 10 cents per case
to more than a dollar.

losses from depredations of this insect
on wheat in single States have ranged
between $40, 000, 900 and $40, 900, 900 in
one year. A very reasonable average
annual estimate Of loss, taking the
country as a whole, would indicate
about 500, 900, 900 a year c~hargeable to
this insect. While in some y .Ars the
damage caused by Hessian fl, is enor-
nous, taking the average of ten years,
the loss to the wheat crop caused by
this bug has a value of $40,0 900, 900, and
so on, numerous other insects and
pests lay toll on the wheat crop of the
farmer. Were it not for their destruc-
tive work the wheat crop of the coun-
try this year would be 20 per cent.

A ehQ tage of a finished product such

a corresponding loss to transportation
companies and to shippers. In other
words shortage in an important pro-

end of the chapter, the total amount
of which is quite beyond calculation or
estimate.
Cereals Damaged Most.
The cereals suffer most from insect
damage, the yearly amount of loss ag-
gregating 5000, 000, 900. The leading
cereal crop of the United States, of
course, is king corn, with a value last
year of 81, 216, 900, 900. While corn is
less subject to insect damage and
wheat next, the most important cereal.
which is the corn product, would be
considerably greater We're 1t not for
important insect pests. The corn root
worm auses an annual average loss
of at least 2 per cent. of the crop or
some 500, 600, 900. The next most i'm
portant insect pest of this cereal is
the bollworm or earworm. This In
sect, according to the Bureau of Ento-
mology, probably attacls from 80 to
100 per cent. of the e0 of sweet corn
throughout the country n the dam
age caused by this pest is probably
nearly as great as that caused by the
Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1906-01-27

The principal culprits are the ox-war-
BILE, and various biting flies and ticks.
Horses, sheep and other farm animals
are subject to attacks of similar para
sites and other insect enemies. II all
these be considered including, for ex-
ample, the buffalo gnats, often very
destructive in the South, the many
gadflies, BOTTLES, the screw-worm fly,
and such parasites as the ticks and lice,
a heavy percentage of loss must be
reckoned. A conservative estimate of
the Department of Agriculture of these
losses is $175.0 DOC, 900 a year.
Stored Products Preyed Upon.
While mention has been made of the
damage done to vegetable products dur
ing the growing and maturing season,
these crops after they have run the
gauntlet of insect enemies during their
entire period OF growth, are still sub
ject to the inroads Of insect depreda-
tors while in storage on the farm, in
elevators and mills, or again while in
transit especially in the case of long
shipments by sea. Food products in
the kitchen and house-storeroom suf-
fer from insect damage. Animal pro-
ducts are attacked by larder beetles,
etc, fruits by various fruit and vine
gar flies and the woolens and house,
hold furnishings by beetles, moths,
silver fish, etc. Cured tobacco is es-
pecially subject to insect attacks and
damage, the most important source of
injury being a minute insect known as
the cigarette beetle which not only
eats into cigarettes but all other forms
of cured tobacco. While an estimate
of $1O0, 000, 900 a year Is placed upon
the damage done to the store products,
this does not include the destruction to
products in the household or to tobacco.
A very considerable item which
might be c~hargeable to insects and yet
which cannot be estimated is that of
preventing insect damage. No one can
estimate how much is expended on
wire rec for the household to pre-
vent the ingress of flies, mosquitoes
and moths. nor can an estimate be
placed upon the amount of money ex-
pended to eradicate mosquitoes, but it
is believed that the estimate of $780,
000, 900 made by the officials of the
of Agriculture is far below
the actual annual loss. The problem
the. economic entomologist of the fu-
must solve is the lessening or pre-
vention of this loss.
