FIGHTING WHITE GRUB PEST
Strawberry Growers Find This Insect
Most Destructive and Very Diff
cult to Deal With.
Bx W. II. BURKEO

CBy W. II. BURKE)
Strawberry growers find the white
grubs one of the most persistent enc
mics of that line of horticulture. How
to deal with them is one of the most
perplexfng problems the grower is
compelled to solve.
The man who for the last quarter
of century has taken the most
prizes for Strawberries at one of New
EngIand's famous horticultural shows
has written me letter in which he
described his methods of handling this
that It may be of assistance to others
who have been troubled by the white
grub. This famous grower says:
The majority of strawberry grow
ers have not had the experience that
some of us older growers have II have

tury). and the first thing they know
about the white grub is their vision of
dying plants. which, upon examina-
ton. reveal the fact that the grub has
eaten off the roots of the plants.
My method of dealing with them is
radical one-but it is effective. and
that is the thing desired When 7
find the grub is working at the roots
of my plants take up each plant with
fork. earth and all, turn up its roots
and pick out all the grubs can find.
and before setting them back I dig
out the row where they grew and
carefully inspect every plant. as well
as the earth in which the plants are
growing.
Before setting the affected plants
back I sprinkle tobacco dust literally
in the dirt about the roots of the plant
and then put into the bottom of the
row some air-slaked lime. Lot of
work? Yes; but it appears to do the
business to the queens taste. In ad-
dition to this pillow between the rows
after the plants are reset, run through
them with cultivator. picking up all
the grubs this method has brought to
the surface"
So much for dealing with the grub
after he has arrived. Great care
should be taken that he never gets

note before setting out plants in iand
that has previously been given up to

The most effective way to get rid
OF the grub under these circumstances
is to let hogs or poultry or both fol-

They will do more clearing out of
the grub in given space Of time than
anything else with which we are IA

TREES FOR FARM WOOD LOT
For Irrigated Sections List 10 Quite
Long one-White Willow 10
Most Useful.

(By B. o. LoNGYEAR. COLORADO AZ
RICULTURAL COLLEGEJ
The kinds of trees to recommend
depend upon the location, the soil and
the water supply. For the irrigated
sections. with altitude and climate
similar to that of Denver. the list of
trees that can be grown is quite q
large one. But for fuel and posts
those species only are desirable
which make a rapid growth and are
durable.
The white willow is one Of the
most useful for starting a wood lot,
as 1t grows quickly. stands drought
well. and makes a good light fuel.
This tree may well form the outer
two or three rows along the north and
west sides of the los, and will furnish
shelter for the less hardy sorts. Next
may come the ash. either white or
green; the black and honey 10
Gusts and hardy catalpa. The last
three species are very desirable for
posts. as the timber is durable. Fol-
lowing these the white elm. Eastwood,
succeed. the last being of slow growth
but possessing strong, hard wood.
In case the white willow cannot be
obtained. the outermost rows may be
of Russian olive with few rows OF
Rydberg's cottonwood. also called
lance-leaf cottonwood. All these trees
may be set in rows 6 by feet apart
except the Russian olive, which should
be four feet apart in the row. Use
