According 10 bulletin issued by the U. $. Department of Agri- culture, 1t IS similar 10 Paris green Tn color and differs from 1t only in lacking acetic acid. In other words it is a simple arsen- ate of copper. IL IS much finer powder than Paris green and therefore more easily kept in sus- pension and is a much cheaper preparation. When properly washed and prepared by the man. ufacturers It IS less harmful to the foliage even than Paris green, IS quicker in effect and should supplant the latter as an insecticide. It IS used 1n the same way and at about the same strenth as Paris green.

FRUIT PROSPECTS IN
 NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
What a Representative of the
 Kansas City Packer Thinks.

A representative of the Kansas City Packer recently made trip through Washington and Benton Counties, and in writing of the prospects for apples in this sec ton he says. among other things:
 Even after thorough trip over the apple growing section of Northwestern Arkansas it IS im- possible 10 give anything like an exact estimate of=the probable yield of apples.
 However, nobody entertalns an idea that there will be more than 50 per cent of a normal crop, and but few think there will be less than 25 per cent. Most of the shippers, and others who are best informed, are inclined 10 think that the yield will come nearer being about 80 or s per cent. This is the estimate of men who have been over the apple section and who have made II point to visit the orchards and examine the trees.
 Prof. Ernest Walker of Fayette- vile has given close attention to the apple crop in both Washing tor and Benton counties and says the trees are generally ln highly healthfui condition, and that the fruit itself is unusually healthy, and in consequence he looks for very little dropping from no~ on. He says tie growers all over the two counties have pruned their trees more closely and sprayed more extensively and with great er care than ever before and as a result there IS the promise oi less falling of young apples. Prof. Walker attributes the heavy drop of fruit which IS experienced here some years to defects caused by insects and as where there is constant and systematic spraying there are few insects he thinks there IS no reason why there should be much drop from this time on.

The Springdale news., 1909-06-25

During the last few years an increasing injury has been done to many orchards throughout the fruit belt of this entire country by the cankerworm.
 The remedial measures to be used against an insect can best be understood when we know in detail the life history of the in- sect.
 This is particularly true of the cankerworm, because one of the practical methods of fighting 1t is dependent upon peculiar fact in it's life history.
 In brief summary the story of a canker-worm' life Is this: In early spring, about the time the leaves begin 10 push out from the buds, it matches from an egg previously laid upon the bark of twig or branch by small, wingless moth.
 The little cankerworm im- mediately begins to feed upon the green and succulent tissues of the young leaves, process which 1t continues from day to day for about a week. | Is then too large for the skin with which it was born, and so It moults or sheds it's skin, crawling out of the old one clothed in a new one that has been formed beneath the other.
 IL soon begins feeding again, eating more and more of the green tissues of the leaf as II grows larger.
 A bout d week later this moult- ing process IS agaln repeated, al ter which the eaterplllars con- tinae feeding as before.
 In the course of five or SIX weefs of such growth the eanker- worms become full grown as far as the caterpillar state is con- cerned. When full grown the cankerworms are green or brown. varying much in color, more or less striped, with longitudinal lines.
 On the under side of the body are ten legs, six just back of the head and four near tie hind end. In moving about, the middle ot the body is humped ID, and in consequence these insects are commonly called the s'looplng caterpillar" or measuring worm.
 When the branch upon which these insects are feeding or rest ing is jared, the cankerworms drop toward the ground, each spinning from irs mouth a silken thread, up which 1t crawls again when danger passes.
 Late in spr1ng or early in sum- mer the full grown cankerworms descend to the ground, where at or slightly beneath the soil sur face, they make slight silken CO., coons. Within these they change to ehrysalias or pupae, remain ing in this condition until the autumn or spring following, then they emerge as small, gray ish moths.
 There is remarkable differ ence in the appearance of the sexes of these moths. The males have small bodies and broad, well developed wings, The females have large bodies but no wings. While the former can fly freely, the latter can only crawl up the neighboring trees to deposit thelr eggs. The eggs hatch when the leaves begin to expand in the spring and the young worms be- gin their ruinous work.
 Those who have studied the cankerworms most carefully have found that there are two common species, the fall cankerworm and the spring worm. The moths ot the former SDpt1PS aDDpar and
The Springdale news., 1909-06-25

the worms.
 The success of the first is due 10 the fact that the egg laying female moth IS wingleSs and she becomes fully developed or or be- heath the surface of ground, con- sequently 10 lay her eggs upon the twlgs she must ascend the trunk of the tree. Various sub stances have been used in the past for this banding of the trees, printers ink being the most popu- lar of these.
 This banding method IS partic- ularly serviceable in the case of orchards that are likely to be badly infested because prevents the injury that is bound to occur before the cankerworm n such an orchard can be killed by spray ing. II also is especially useful in protecting large shade trees which are difficult to spray on ac- count of their height.
 If thoroughly applied, the bands being kept on throughout the entire season, during which the moths and caterpillars Of both species appear. From October until June thls banding method is easily applicable to orchard practice. In cases where the at tack the previous season was severe, # will generally pay to apply tie bands, even If the or chardi>t expects 10 spray his trees, for as intimated above, II has been the general experience that an orchard badly infested by eankerworms cannot De who'll ly freed from the pests tie first season before considerable dam- age IS done to the foliage. A good many orehardists prefer 10 fight the cankerworm by the banding method rather than by sDray1no. because their other work kept them busy during the spraying season,
 In this immediate section the banding method IS not generally used. But in general the or chardist will find Il profitable to spray because he can thas kill of the ca7kerworns and otf3er leaf eating insects, but the eoddling moth, as well, and fl he so de- sires he can in the same mixture, make warfare upon the apple scab bltter-rot and other fungous diseases. The spraying method ot fighting the worm aims 10 GOV CT tie leaves with minute parti- eles of poison so that the young worms will eat Il and be killed.
 When an orchard is infested by oanferworms it Is very desirable and necessary to spray onee be- fore the blossoms open.
 The insects begin matching early in the season. Ii trees are not sprayed until after the blos- sons fall considerable damage will be done before the worms are killed.
 One spraying IS the buds be- gin to swell will be of much ser vice. Another one should be given as soon as the blossoms fall and If the eankerworms are very numerous d third a week or ten days after the second will no doubt be effective.
 The spraying may be done with either arsenate of lead, Par IS green or Sheeles green. Ar senate of lead should be bought in the form of a paste and should be used at the rate of two to three pounds 10 fifty gallons of water. This poison possesses these advantages over Paris green. CD There is no danger of burning the foliage, hence it can be put on in stronger mix lures. @ It remains in sus- pension in water better. (S) It adhereS to the foliage more eVeu-
