PLANT THE RIGHT TREE.
Write and Get Information from tho
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 1t 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 GoUoER.
Why the Fruit Falls to the Ground
When Half Grown.

Every season in this western coun-
by the fruit falling to the ground in
the half-grown state. An examination
OF this fruit will show that 1t is in
tested with =, lite grubs. which eat
into the kernel and cause It to drop.
The work is very 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 very difiicult 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 similar nature in the same way
that apple trees are sprayed. The
adult beetles eat the young leaves or
cut OF the stems of the young fruit,
and poisons placed in these localities
are likely to prove helpful remedies.
The adult beetles may be caught by
jarring the trees. The insect plays
possum" when limb is Jared and
drops to the ground. II the ground is
covered with sheets, the insects may
be gathered in them and destroyed.
This is best done early in the day and
should be continued from the time the
plum trees are in blossom until the
first of June.
The insects are reddish brown snout
beetles about a quarter of an inch in
length. They are quite easily recog-
nized, and If present, some will be
found usually each mornings 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.
II 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 they are
still on the trees should be taken and
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 II 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 25 gallons of water, or one pound
of the paris green to 100 gallons of
water, will make preparation Of suf-
flcient 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
can use white hellebore in water in
the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons. If the hellebore Is used, 1t Is
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 of 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

Florence was thrown into state uf
intense excitement Saturday night by A
report which emanated from one of the

hundred people assembled on the
banks of the river, carriages were
driven to the residences in the lower
bottoms and preparations were made
to move the people out, but the report
terminated in myth and the excite
ment was subdued.
The river rose only about six inches.
Reports of damage entailed by the
flood reached Florence in more detalI
Saturday. The Chandler branch of the
Rio Grande was washed out and dam
aged its full length and several bridges
were carried away. On account of this
the Chandler coal mine and the Ere
mont mine will be idle for ten days
The new double track of the Denver
& Rio Grande between Florence and
Canon City was damaged extensively
The roadbed being new and soft made
it easy for the flood waters to wash lr
out to depth of eight and nine feet
in some places, causing the rails 10
drop to the bottom of the freshly made
pits.
This road will be abandoned for
about thirty days and meantime trains
will use the old track, maintaining the
former slow time schedule
The Rockvale branch of the Santa Fe
railroad was washed out in one place
for 1900 feet and in other places from
100 to 500 feet. All the bridges were
carried out. The Rockvale and Inde
pendence mines. depending upon this
railroad, will be idle for probably ,.
month. More than 1000 feet of tracE
of the Florence G. Cripple Creek rail-
road was washed off the roadbed by
the flood and carried against house
occupied by Swan Broberg. which

which led to the indictments. The
