THEY CAN BE FOUGHT IN FALL
AND WINTER so AS TO RE.
DUcE THEIR RAvAGEs.
HARBoRED BY RUBBISH
FALL AND WINTER CULTIVATION
DESTROYS CHRISTOPHER
EGGS AND cUTWoRMs.
By S Arthur Johnson. Colorado Agri.

cultural College, Fort Collins.
Insects live over in almost all stages
and the fall and winter furnish q
good season for reducing their raw.
ages the following year. 1t will be
well to bear the following points in
mind to aid in this work:
Dispose of all rubbish. Many in.
sects which hibernate in the adult
stage seek rubbish of all kinds. Here
they are protected from the severe
change in the weather which is so
detrimental to their constitution and
escape the prying eyes of their bird
enemies. All rubbish should he con.
signed to the compost heap or plowed
under TO furnish humus for the soil.
Stuff that cannot be used in this way
should be burned.
Clean out the ditch banks and fence
corners. Cut close and rake up all
these places.
Fall and winter cultivation of the
ground will help TO dispose of grass.
hopper eggs and cutworms. If the
ground is kept fallow during the fall
cutworms will disappear before the
spring crops come up.
Disc the alfalfa. 1t will break up
or bury the pods of grasshopper eggs
and be a help TO the plants. 1t will
be well TO disc all dry exposed places
where the grasshoppers have been
abundant during the fall.
Make an examination of the spray
ing apparatus and, II necessary,
give the orchard winter treatment.
At any rate. be ready for the spring
work.
Examine the seed peas. II they
are weeviled. put them in tight
box and fumigate with carbou-bisul-
fid at the rate of four ounces to each
bushel OF peas. The fluid should be
put in n shallow dish over the peas
so that the fumes will flow down over
the mass.
Clean out around the apple trees and
scrape off the rough bark to get rid OF
alternating insects.
Examine the chicken roosts and pour
kerosene oil over them II the mites are
troublesome. This should be repeated
at intervals of every few weeks until
cold weather sets In.
