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 IL 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 20 the forest
service, United States department OF
agriculture. Washington. The studies
on which they we're 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
OF 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
big profit.

Why the Fruit Falls 10 the Ground
When Halt 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 u IL In
tested with white grubs. which eat
into the kernel and cause II 60 drop
The work is very similar 10 the plum
curcullo, which Is such a serious pest
In the eastern states.
This insect. however, Is a native
western form and finds its way into
our plum orchards from the patches
Of Wild plums which grow along al.
most every creek.
II is 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 similar nature in the same way
that apple trees are sprayed. The
adult beetles eat the young leaves or
cut on 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
Earring the trees. The insect plays
possum" when a 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 tho
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 II 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.
II is a good plan to permit chickens
10 run around about the trees, since
they often pick up the weev,ls 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.
