1t was not determined whether the
wounds of the apple weevil alone are
sufficient to cause the apple 10 drop or
whether the species is dependent upon
assistance from fungous diseases and
other insects In causing the apples to

The beetles make two kinds

wounds In the fruit. One of these is
made by the female to receive the
egg and the other Is made by both
sexes in feeding. Both forms of
wounds are in the shape of minute
punctures through the skin which ex-
tend to depth of about .04 of an inch
into the flesh of the apple. On the
surface Of the fruit the average sized
opening is slightly less than OF of an
inch across but beneath the skin it is
enlarged considerably. Externally
the egg punctures may be distin-
guished from the others by the small
mass of glue-like excrement with
which the opening through the skin Is
sealed. The feeding punctures are left
open. The wounds are so small that
in making careful examination the
aid of magnifying lens is necessary.
The fruit may be attacked at any
point on the surface but the pune
lures are found usually most numer-
Gus about the calyx and stem. So far
as could be determined, nearly all the
wounds that are made In sound fruit
occur when the apples are quite small.
The feeding punctures, In cases where
decay does not set In, usually heal
over so that they show only as minute
scars In the ripe fruit. The same Is
true of the egg punctures where the
eggs fail to hatch or where the larvae
die soon after beginning to feed, as is
often the case. The wounds made by
the weevils are sometimes found and
enlarged by plum curculios and pos
sibly By other insects that feed on
apples. The wounds also form CEN
ters for the spread of decay.

In making observations on the ex-
tent of injury that was being done to
apples by the plum and apple cur
culios. during the spring and summer
OF 1909. II was noticed that another
small snout beetle was present on the
trees and was doing considerable dam
age to the young fruit. The insect
was not recognized at first and speci-
mems were forwarded to the special
lists IN Washington who identified them
as belonging to the species whose
technical name is given above.
TheNspecies does not appear to have
attracted attention previously as an
enemy of apples but according to OBJ
servations made by the writer the
habit of breeding In this fruit seems
SO we'll fixed that the common name
apple weevir' is suggested as being
suitable.
The first instance that came under
our notice, In which apples were at
tackled by this insect, was In June,
1907, when Mr.. w. Il. Rumsey saw
one of the beetles lay its egg in an
apple growing on the Experiment Sta
ton farm at Morgantown. In the
spring of 1909 Mr.. Rumsey also saw
numerous punctures in young apples
In Berkeley county which he at.
tributed to this species. At French
Creek, in Upshur county, the beetles
were abundant on apple trees during
the past summer (1909). and In some
cases almost every fruit on unsprayed
trees showed the punctures of the In,
sect.

Spring Party for Children.

It all depends upon the weather
how much of this party may be car
ried out in the open. 1t is all practical
for the house though, should showers
spill from bright blue sky.
First, tell the children they are to
go out after game and give each one
little denim hunting bag for the
trophies, which are animal crackers
hidden in every conceivable place, the
crackers to be eaten or taken home,
and to the one who bags the most
animals prize of toy animal may
be given.
Then give each guest card with
numbers from to 15 on and place a
blackboard where all can see it. The
leader or the hostess selects a child
to draw picture, whispering to him
the animal he is to draw; the guests
write beside the number the name of
the animal they think he is trying to
portray. When Is animals have been
drawn and guessed collect the cards,
and to the one who has correctly
guessed the most Noah's ark is
given.
Next have this bird-guessing con-
test: / think 1t appeared in the

Living In The Past

Could man, were he given the op-
portunity, really live In any age widely
remote from his own? Modern phi
ilosophy tells us that life is then at it's
highest and best when the organism
is perfectly adapted to its environ
ment. If this be SO. then 1t is clear
that any large, sudden and abrupt
change in the environment must i'm
pair the vitality of the organism and
might even destroy 1t altogether.
There are many worthy people who
delight to call themselves old-fash-
toned and are always longing, so they
pretend, to live In some other and bet.
ter age than their own. II is vain
aspiration and those who entertain 1t
only succeed, so far as they succeed
at all. IN getting hopelessly out of
touch with their own age. We have
no other age than our own TO live In
and the true wisdom of life Is frankly
to live in our own age and to make
the best of 1t, neither bewailing the
epast, of which, having no personal ex-
perience, we make to ourselves an

A ShInlnu Nose,

Summer is sorry time for the
woman with nose shine. She usually
resorts to powder, which coarsens
the pores, or she mops with alcohol,
which dries up the skin.
Instead of these, try bathing the
nose with hot water. in which a tea
spoonful of powdered borax has been
dissolved to each pint.
Wiping the surface of nose with a
soft flannel or piece of silk keeps
down the shine. Do not rub hard or
