NEGLECT IN SPRAYING
BRINGS TROUBLE
The Fall Web Worm VIII Be More
Abundant This Year.

From present appearances there Is
no doubt but that the nests of the
fall web worm will be much more
abundant the coming season than they
were last year. In fact, in all sec
tions that we have visited during the
past week all the fruit trees, the wild
cherries, many of the elms and even
the alder bushes are covered with this
conspicuous web. 1t proved to be a
serious pest with us last year, es-
pecially in the young orchards. All
who are interested in the future of
our movement for better fruit should
at once lend hand in getting rid of
this pest as far as possible. Spraying
at this time will do no good; it Is too
late. The recommendation given
from the Department to spray during
the first week in July. IL followed out
would have completely destroyed the
young caterpillars as soon as they
hatched from the eggs and thus pre-
vented the unsightly nests that are
sure to follow. The caterpillars are
now concealed under the tent of their
own construction, and as they feed
they rapidly push this tent before
them SO that they are secure from
any intrusion either by birds (and
but few of these will touch them) or
the spraying material that might be
applied.
One should go over the trees thor
oughly and remove by the ordinary
pruning shears all twigs that are in
tested. In some cases the eggs are
just Matching and the leaves are be-
ing curled by the young caterpillars
for the web, 30 that careful inspec-
tion Is needed to secure them all. In
other cases the webs have already ex-
tended over large limbs. We saw one
tree recently that had eight sep
arate nests quite we'll developed. 1t is
we'll known fact that II these are
neglected they may destroy whole or

some can vouch for to their sorrow
Do not wait. even though the du-

GUS damage may have been done to
young trees. Be sure to remove
these nests and burn them, as no

AROOSTOOK SYSTEM IS
GOOD ELSEWHERE
Potato Growing In Central and South.
ern Maine.

In central and southern Maine,
where the land has been considered
unsuited to potato growing and Is
valued at from $25 to $40 an acre, in
contrast with the $50 and 500 land
of Aroostook County, the same meth
ods have been applied with equal sue
cess. One often hears of Aroostook
County farmers who have sold their
expensive land in the northern part
of the State and are buying cheaper
farms In the southern counties.
On the farm of w. j. Thompson, in
Kennebec county. Me-, 10 acres of
potatoes were grown according to the
Aroostook system In 1907, that meth
cd being followed throughout in cul-
ture, In the application OF fertilizer,
and in spraying. All the labor of
men and teams hired at current
prices The total cost of 10 acres for
labor, seed, fertilizer, and spraying
materials, including the hauling of
the potatoes to market, was 1854, of
which $144 was for transportation to
market The land used was old, run
out fields and pasture, and no barn
yard manure was applied. There was
a yield from 10 acres of 1900 bushels
of market potatoes, which sold at 72
cents. bringing $1,296. profit Of $542
on the 10 acres. This farm was To-
Gated some 200 miles nearer the large
markets than Is Aroostook County,
and accordingly the better price for
the crop made up for the lighter yield.
To raise 18 acres of oats, following
the potatoes of the previous year.
cost $216 for labor and seed, but with
no additional fertilizer. The oats
yielded 40h bushels per acre, or 730
bushels In all, which sold at the farm
for 60 cents a bushel, amounting to
$438, and 13 tons of straw, valued at
81 ton, giving a profit on the IS
acres of $274, or of 1922 on the grain
alone. A good stand o. clover was
also obtained that year and the pre-
vious year, the clover-mixed hay
yielding at least l n tons per acre in
1907, having been seeded with oats the
year before. These figures would in
dicate that on a good clover sod, such
as Is now becoming available on this
farm, as large yields of potatoes can
be obtained as are common in Aroos
took County.
