PLUM !! ] ! J 1ER.
T--- 1-
Why the Fruit Falis 70 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 1t to drop.
The work is very similar to the plum
curculio, which Is such 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.
It 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 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,
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 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
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 quarter of an inch in
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.
It 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 EntOmOlOpv
Colorado Agricultural College.

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. It's 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.

shelves have either small grooves
plowed in them or small half rounds
nailed on the rear portion of them for
holding the plates in an upright posi-

hooks for the cups, etc., are placed
where desired, also the shelves, and
the size of the plates must regulate

INDUCING FRUITFULNEss.
Judicious Pruning Will Increase the
Fruit Buds.

Horticulturists have for many years
practiced various methods to induce
fruitfulness and with. some degree Of
success. All these methods, as grid
ling the trunk, root pruning and sum-
mer pruning of the branches tempo
rarily check the growth of the tree,
and the consequent slow growth in
duces the formation of fruit buds,
says w. Paddock. It is we'll known that
the buds which produce fruit in any
particular season were formed the
season before, and their formation is
believed to begin early in the grow
ing season. This being true, the time
is now at hand for such work; if put
off much later in the season, it will be
too late, as the time for the forma-
tion of fruit buds for next years crop
will soon be passed.
BY root pruning Is meant that a
small portion Of the roots are cut OF,
and the operation may be performed
with spade or in any way which is
best suited to individual needs.
Summer pruning takes the place Of
the annual winter pruning, and is the
same in most respects except that it
is done in June instead of winter OR
early spring.
Girdling or ringing consists in re-
moving ring of bark from the trunk
or larger limbs. This ring is some
times two inches or more in width;
all the bark within this space is re-
moved, thus exposing the wood. This
method of checking growth, though
often employed, is rather drastic, and
should be used with caution. A more
rational method is to girdle the branch
or trunk by cutting through to the
wood by making one continuous cut
and not removing any of the bark.
Some authorities state that the prop.
er time to check the growth of tree
In order to induce the formation of
fruit buds is at the time when the
bark begins to set on the new growth
