The Cherry Tree Slug Again.

A few weeks ago | warned the peo-
pie not to allow the cherry slug to de-
foliate their trees during the late sum-
mer. Now, the second brood is at
work, and judging from the number of
slugs that appeared during July and
August. it seems probable that very
serious injury will be done to the trees
in September unless the slugs are
promptly destroyed.
This may be done at little expense
by spraying the leaves rather thor
oughly with fine spray containing
Paris green or arsenate of lead as a
poison. If the Paris green is used,
apply in the proportion of about one
pound to one hundred gallons of water.
If arsenate of lead is used. apply in
the proportion of one pound of the poi
son to each twenty gallons of water.
Do not continue the spraying after the
leaves begin to drip. Where the infes-
tation is rather light, the slugs may be
removed by thorough dusting of the
foliage with air-slacked lime, ashes. OF
fine road dust.

Making Hens MouH.

One of the difficulties in poultry rails
ing is to get the hens to moult early so
that they will be ready to lay early in
the fall when eggs are high.
Left to themselves, hens will take a
long time to moult, and will not finish
until cold weather sets in. They will
not then lay much until January first
and all the profits for October, Novem-
Der and December are lost.
At the Poultry Institute held in Den
yer by the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, j. R. Wilson, a poultryman of
long experience in Colorado, gave his
method of controlling the moulting of
hens.
Mr.. Wilson turns his hens for three
weeks in July on Alfalfa, feeding them
IN addition dry bran only. Under this
treatment they get thin. The first of
August he starts feeding them a mixed
ration of grains and meat, giving a
light feed in the morning and all they
will eat at noon and at night.
Under this treatment they finish
moulting quickly, get new feathers and
begin laying the first of September.
by October first they are in full laying
and make profit through the fall
months.

Black Leaf Dip.

have recently visited many of the
orchardists on the Western Slope, in
Colorado, and find that there is a grow
ing tendency to use Black Leaf dip for
the destruction of both the green and
the wolly plant lice upon the orchard
tree. The orchardis-s using it in near
ly every case are reporting excellent
success, and they seem to prefer it to
the oil preparations which they have
formerly used. In the proportion of one
part of the dip to about seventy parts
Of water it seems very efficient when
thoroughly applied, and l did not hear
of any instance where injury had been
done to the trees even when the treat
ment was very thorough. In my ex-
perience | have found that this dip in
the strength above indicated would kill
any of the plant lice to which | have
applied it.

The Outlook for Peach
CroDi1g in CoLorodo


The possibility of an over production
OF peaches in Colorado is always being
considered by thoughtful growers. If
would seem at first thought that with
such perishable product and the dis
tance to markets the business might
easily be overdone. but there is another
side to the question. In former ar
tlcle the over-production of apples in
Colorado was considered, and the con-
clusion was reached that, so long as we
are comparatively free from most of
the apple pests, the perfection of our
apples will always find for them a place
IN the markets. The same line of rea-
soning appears to hold equally well tor
the peach.
In the first place the localities where
peaches can be grown at profit are
few and the areas are comparatively
small. There are but few insects and
diseases to bother, consequently our
fruit goes on the market without a
blemish. In contrast to this we were
interested in inspecting some peaches
from an eastern state on the Denver
market. These were packed in an un-
attractive basket, but what is more
important, the appearance of every
peach was marred by blotches of
fungous growth. The eastern and par
ticularly the southern growers are
practically at the mercy of brown rot,
fungus which attacks the ripening
fruits. There is yet no practical rem
edy for this disease, and it is RESPONSE
BILE for the loss of much fruit each
year. The loss this season was heavy,
due to damp weather at ripening time.
Then there are numerous other pests
which not only destroy the fruit but
attack the trees as well. Last winter
great many acres of peach trees in
the northeastern states were killed by
frost All these things are discourage
ing, and the result will undoubtedly be
that fruit growers wlll be conservative
about extending their plantations.
In the meantime the markets are be-
ing extended as population increases
and fruit is becoming more and more OF
a necessity. Business methods are also
improving and railroad facilities, so far
as Colorado is concerned, must soon be
put upon a basis that will compare
with other sections of the United
States. One need not be alarmed by
the reports of vast tracts of orchards
being planted in the northwest. Much
of this territory is but little above
sea level, where the orchard pests OF
the East have already appeared. Then,
too, pest experiences have proved that
for various reasons comparatively
small per cent. Of trees planted ever
develop into paying orchards.
When we consider the above facts il
would appear that those growers who
are careful in selecting good locations
need have no fear fer the general fu-
ture of their business.

Wooly Aphis Of ibe Apple Tree.

The writer has recently made trip
into the orchards of the Western Slope
of thus State, and finds that this insect.
which was rather abundant during June
and July, has almost completely disap-
peared from the tree tops so that the
orchardists are not much concerned
about its injuries to the apple crop this
year. In Delta comfy it seemed evil
dent that the spraying which had been
done quite generally throughout the
county had reduced the lice sufficiently
to enable their enemies, the lady beetles,
and the lace winged flies especially. to
destroy the rest of the lice. In the
Grand valley the apple orchards are
free from this insect, so that it is
almost impossible to find any specimens
without digging about the roots.
1t is very probable that the lice may
make some showing upon the branches
before the cold weather comes on. In
this case it would be well to give the
trees thorough spraying, either late
this fall or some time during the winter
or very early spring. with view or
killing any of the over-winter lice which
remain upon the trees in protected
places to start the round of develop
ment another season. Such spray
The Delta independent., 1908-09-18

should be thoroughly applied and the
ground about the crown of the tree
should also be well drenched Black
Leaf dip in the proportion of one part
to each sixty to seventy parts of water,
or good kerosene emulsion may be
successfully used for this purpose.

TUBERCULAR INSTITUTION COM
PLFTED,

The new sanitarium which the state
is building about four miles north of
Iowa City for the treatment of tuber-
cular patients is nearing completion.
Work on the hospital has been delay
ed little. but it will be ready for
occupancy very soon after the first of
the year The final work is being
done on the administration building
and small frame buildings or shacks
in which the patients are. to be
housed.
DR.. Kirscher. the superintendent of
the sanitarium has been there recently
and then went to Des Moines short
time ago to consult with the board of
control which is to have jurisdiction
over the institution. He will be
ready to devote his entire time to the
to the institution.
Under the law the institution is
supposed to take only the lncipient
cases. but anyone can see how hare
that will be. People in the very early
stages of the disease will not believe
they have tuberculosis although so ad.
vised by their physicians. The sup.
erintendant says he has seen some
cases we'll advanced do quite we'll ii
sanitariums. and others in which the
disease had just started could not bs

Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoffman who
recently moved to this city from
Ricketts, had the heretofore unrealiz-
ed experience on Christmas day of
having all their family together. The
older children had grown up and left
home before some of the younger
children were born and so at no time
had the family been together. al
though not widely separated. So
Christmas 1907 was a notable day.
Living at Denison are F. L. Hoffman

of the grandchildren. Mr.. Hoffman
and wife are to be congratulated or
the joyous occasion of this family re-
union.

TESTING SEED corn.
Crawford County Presents Re
suits of Seasons Work
AN ACRE PLOT WAS TESTED.
Each Row Planted from Different
Ear. Valuable Results

When we stop to consider that 80
bushels per acre is considered a full
crop of corn and that many farmers
raise 40 to 70 bushels or more per
acre. there must be some very poor
corn raised to make the average yield
so low. So we can easily see that
there is much room for improvement.
Every farmer should be interested in
improving his corn. How can we
increase the yield? Some will say by
better cultivation. others by seeding
to clover or hauling more manure.
which is all very true. but there are
ether things to be taken into consid-
Grafton. Since Prof. Holden's tour
through the country with his corn
trains. | have been taking more IN
terest in seed corn and for what little
know am indebted to him. There
is much to learn about corn. 1t is
something like astronomy. no limit to
it.
Having read about planting indi-
vidual ears. that is every row a
different ear to find out the BEST yield
ing ears and then save the best yield
ing rows for seed. | resovled to run
an experiment station of my own.
The results and experience | received
were very gratifying. am novice
as yet, but still l am convened that
the yield of corn can be greatly in
creased by following up that method.
I measured off one acre 8x2O rods
in the S. W. corner of a field of
spring blowing having first run over
the field with disk. The ground
was in first class condition but no
extra manure was used. There was
g. and { rows IN the plot. Each row
planted by a different ear. 1t was
cultivated 3 times the same as the
balance of the field. The following
table gives the result of the plot.
the number of the row. the missing
hills in each row the number of suck
ers and farrow stalks. the yield per
row in pounds. and the per acre yield
per row.
