Injury to the Apple Is Done In the
LarvaI Stage.
When at rest on the graylsh bark OF
an apple tree the color Of the moth so
harmonizes with Its surroundings that
1t Is not readily distinguished, and the
insect In this stage is perhaps but little
known to orchardlsts. 1t ls In the
larval or worm stage that Injury is
done to the apple.
Wormy apples are familiar to all
growers and consumers Of this fruit,
and many have seen upon cutting open
M apple the small, pinklsh larva,
about three-fourths OF an Inch long, the
cause Of Nil the mischief. The greater
part OF the life Of the larva Is spent
within the fruit, during which period
It feeds freely OF the substance OF the
apple. eating out a cavity or tunnel
and pushing out from the entrance
hole a considerable quantity OF pow
derry brown fruss. Most apples Injured
when small, as by larvae of the first
generation. drop from the trees. and
these often constitute a large percent.

ago: At that time but few vacations
were open t syouDg men or young wo-
men sufficiently qualified to teach
school and many Of them stayed in the
country and taught. And they taught
good schools. To-day conditions are
different. Many Of the brightest young
men and women are sought by bust.
ness firms and they are taken away
from the country districts. This often
results in the countryischool having a
very poorly prepared boy or girl as
teacher instead Of a well prepared in.
structor as in days gone by. Some
thing ought to be done for the
Try schools. II district supervision
will help, then It is certainly to, be
hoped that the Boards Of Education

not to enter the race. G. A. Laugh.

nounce their platforms.
While It Is n long time until the
next election. yet 1t is not too soon tc

The voters will want to know where
the candidates stand and then have
time to discuss the merits OF the dit

With rural free delivery nearly al
the voters Will make up the estimates
OF the candidates from the daily pa

clearly defined early in the campaign
so that they may canvass the situation
at their leisure. So far the county
