TRAINING TOMATOES.
Method by Which the Fruit Can Be
Kept from Rotting.

The best method I ever tried is to
train them to stake. This is a safe
guard against rot, as it keeps the fruit
off the ground. cut stakes from sap
lings 21a inches in diameter and five
to six feet long, choosing those with
small branches all the way up. The
branches are left about four inches
long.
Stake the plants as you have time
after they are set out. When they are
one foot tall tie them to the stakes
with good, strong twine, and With
some assistance later on they will find
support and cling to the branches. DC.
casionally, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, some will not take
hold, and you will have to tie them
higher on the stake.
This plan could not be followed in
field cultivation, but in a small family
garden it works like a charm They
should be given continuous cultivation
all through the season if you want
plenty of fruit

PLANT THE RIGHT TREE.
Write and Get Information from the
Agricultural Department.

In every region of the United States
there is at least one forest tree, and
generally there are several forest
trees which can be planted with a
complete assurance of commercial sue
cess if the plantation is properly es-
tablished and given proper care. The
government has made very careful
study of most of the forest plantations
in the United States. Its publications
on tree planting may be had free OF
charge upon application to the forest
service United States department OF
agriculture, Washington. The studies
on which they were based were made
especially for the benefit of farmers
and other land owners, and to prevent
the waste of thousands of dollars an
nually lost by planting the wrong trees
or by improper care of plantations.
From the manner in which our nat
ural timber has been cut it is clear
that each region will have to be made
as nearly self-supporting in timber
growth as possible. The lesson Of the
past is that the right forest trees
grown in the right way will bring a
big profit.

PLUM GOU0ER.
Why the Fruit Falls to the Ground
When Half Grown.

Every season in this western coun-
try large numbers of plums are lost
by the fruit falling to the ground in
the half-grown state. An examination
of this fruit will show that it is in
tested with white grubs, which eat
into the kernel and cause it to drop.
The work is yer similar to the plum
curculio, which is such a serious pest
in the eastern states
This insect, however, is native
western form and finds its way into
our plum orchards from the patches
of wild plums which grow along al
most every creek.
1t is a very difficult insect to COM
bat, because the work is done inside
the fruit, and poisons cannot be ap-
piled for the larval forms of the in
sect. The adult insect can sometimes
be killed by spraying the plum trees
with arsenate of lead or other poisons
of a similar nature in the same way
that apple trees are sprayed. The
adult beetles eat the young leaves or
cut off the stems of the young fruit,
are likely to prove helpful remedies.
The adult beetles may be caught by
jarring the trees. The insect plays
possum" when a limb is Jared and
drops to the ground. If the ground is
covered with sheets, the insects may
be gathered in them and destroyed
This is best done early in the day and
chnl11d hn h. kho
plum trees are in blossom until the
first of June.
The insects are reddish brown snout
beetles about a quarter of an inch ip
length. They are quite easily recog-
nized, and if present, some will be
found usually each morning. A few
Earrings of the tree will Indicate
whether or not the insects are nu-
merous and whether this remedy
should be continued. Probably this
remedy is the most useful one in the
home orchard or garden.
1t is good plan to permit chickens
to run around about the trees, since
they often pick up the weevils or the
larvae that have come to the ground.
During the summer all plums which
fall from the trees and even those
which show the marks while tn, - are
still on the trees should be taken aud
destroyed. BY destroying we mean
burning or some other method which
will make sure that the insect inside
the plum is killed.-S. Arthur Johnson,
Associate Professor of Entomology,
Colorado Agricultural College.

CHERRY TREE SLUG.
How 1t Can Be Easily Killed by Poison
Sprays.

The Colorado station gives this ad-
vice for treating the cherry and pear
tree slug: THE slugs feed so freely
upon the surface of the leaves that
they are very easily killed by any of
the arsenical poisons, such as arsenate
Of lead, arsenite of lime, or paris
green applied in moderate strength.
One pound of the arsenate of lead to
each % gallons Of water, or one pound
of the paris green to 100 gallons of
water, will make a preparation of suf
ficient strength to promptly destroy
this insect. Sometimes it is necessary
to make an application when cherries
or plums are nearly grown when it is
not advisable to cover the fruit with
an arsenical poison. In this case one
the proportion Of one ounce to three
gallons. II the hellebore is used it is
a little better to apply towards eve
ming. Try to distribute the spray as
evenly and thoroughly as possible to
all the leaves Of the tree without using
enough to cause it to run off TO any
great extent. Where only a few trees
are to be treated, one may use air
Stacked lime or fine road dust, throw
ing the dust very freely over the sur
face Of the leaves. This remedy is moi
quite so effectual as the preceding
but can often be used with entire sat
isfaction."
