The COOLING MOTHS.
Autumn and Winter Habits Of This
Troublesome Enemy OF the Orchard.

An examination of the fruit in the
fall Will show how important a late
spraying for the apple orchard is. The
cooling moth begins early and thins
out the fruit by means OF its first
brood. This fruit is out OF the way
early. II drops OF when less than half
grown. These early larvae enter the
apple at the calyx. as is well known.
Later comes the moth for the second
brood She lays her eggs largely on
leaves, where they do not damage. but
some of them are laid on the green
apples, and the larvae that hatch out
enter the fruit wherever II is most
convenient. So the scientists have
told us, and a little observation will
prove IT, These worms are caught by
the late July spraying. a film Of
poison on the apple will put an end
TO the worm before It can co any in
jury.
Much has been learned about the
oodling moth within recent years. but
there is still room for further re-
search. Phe worms that hatch on the
leaves eat the under side. and have
been known TO burrow along the mid
rib. There is reason to suppose that
they can develop in the leaf. Is It
often that they do this? That may
explain why the insects are plentiful.
even after a year in which there have
been scarcely any apples Not having
fruit 70 live in. they have grown UP
in leaves. II this should prove 10 be
the fact, il will be as important to
spray in or years as when there is
fruit perhaps more so. as the larvae
can be killed better on foliage than
on the apples. This Is an interesting
question. and one which owners OF or
chards can assist 20 answer.
Not only are there two broods Of the
cooling moth during the year. but II
is now considered possible that there
might be three. though that many have
not been actually reported But the
development OF the pest differs so
much in the length Of time required
that there are mature insects from the
beginning 20 the end os It's season.
We can get along quite well without
a third brood.
The cooling moth larvae hides away
somewhere In the fall. or as soon as II
leaves the apple. then spins a cocoon.

SPADE DEEPLY FOR TREES.
Ground Should BE Well Prepared for
the New Tree.

When new tree is to be set out the
ground should be well prepared for It.
When large plantations are to be put
in, a pillow may be used in the prep.
aration OF the ground. More often
however. the spade is used for pre-.
pairing the ground in which trees are
TO be set. The depth OF the spade IS
about ten inches. which is about four
inches more than the depth of or.
binary blowing. The depth OF the
spade. says the Farmers Review
should be the measure used In turn.
ing over the ground for trees The
space so prepared should be ten feet
or more In diameter. and this. pre-.
pared space should be increased as
the tree grows. The object Of the en-.
largement OF the space is to prevent
the forming OF a natural water-tight
basin IL which water would accumu-
late to the detriment OF the tree.

LABOR NEEDED IN MEXICO
Men Who Can Cultivate Land Are
In Great Demand in That
Republic.

Mexico Is agitated over the subject
of immigration. The newspapers deal
with the matter quite generally, and
many public men have discussed It,
It is argued that immigrants from
cities are not desirable, as what Mex
leo needs is men to cultivate the land
1t is said the cities in Mexico. like
those in other countries, have super
abundance of the element which
would be contributed by immigrants
from foreign cities.
A year ago big Japanese company
brought 1000 men from Japanese cit
les to Boleo for mining purposes. AS
the japanese had no experience In
mining they were of no use, and had
to be shipped home at the expense
of the steamship company, which ex
pertinent, the Mexican Investor says
cost the company about 100000. An
other Japanese immigration company
shipped q large number of Japanese
laborers from towns to the isthmus
of Tehuantepec to work for the plant
ers there, but they proved a failure
and had to be shipped home. Fol
that reason Mexicans say they do not
want men from cities.
