CurculO---Stung Fruit.

The owner of a plum orchard
at Dover, in York county, wrote
to Prof. Surface, Harrisburg, in
regard to a beetle which he stated
had stung the fruit. He wanted
TO know whether strong disin-
fectant put at different places IN
the trees would keep the beetle
away. The professor replied:
''The insect singing your plum
Is the Curcullo. This Injuries all
the stone fruits, or the plums,
peaches and cherries. 1t is now
too late to do anything toward pro
tecting this years crop. If,
shortly after the blossoms fell,
you had sprayed with two pounds
Of arsenate of lead in each fifty
gallons of water, you would have
protected the fruit. | do not
think there is anything that will
repel the beetle by it's odors; and
besides, the fruits are now injur
ed, and there Is nothing to do but
to pull off those that are damaged
and destroy them. Be very sure
that all fallen fruits are destroyed
promptly by burning or feeding
the pigs. This is the best means
of helping to insure freedom from
injury to next years crop. Pre-
pare to spray next year either
with arsenate of lead or Paris
green, shortly after the blossoms
tall, and again IN about three
weeks from that date"

"WOrked" the North American.

Some one of the few liars still
running at large, worked Tues
days North American for the fol
lowing:
"Fulton county, where they
haven't had real corn crop for
three years, will be lucky to get
quarter crop again this year.
The buckwheat belt has been as
dry as powder, 1t is reported, anG
in many sections the corn is past
saving. Discouragement is the
tune everywhere. Pas ture fields
are brown and in many places
wells have gone dry. Fine cattle
were sold publicly last week as
low as $40 and $12 a head, farm
ers refusing TO buy because they
had no feed"
The truth is, that not In many
years has Fulton county had as
fine crops as last year; and those
gathered this season up to this
time, are much above the average.
The corn crop this year, with few
exceptions, on light land, is ex-
cellent. The hay crop is unusual
ly good and housed in perfect con
ditlon. The statement about cat
tie selling at a low price on ac-
count of a scarcity of feed, is in
keeping with the rest of the para
graph.

APPLE CROP SMALL.
So Says State Official at Harrisburg
After His Investigation.

Unlike the wheat, oats and hay
crop, which have been phenomen
al this year, the apple crop will
be small.
Taking the whole state in con.
sideration," said Economic Zoo
loglst Surface recently, there
will probably not be more than
half a crop of apples this year.
Last year the crop was better,
but because of the smaller crop
this year and the utilization of I'm.
proved orchard methods the prlc
es to be obtained will be higher
than those that prevailed last fall.
'The apples in the eastern part
Of the state are very much more
abundant than in the western
part OF the State. The frosts of
the late spring injured the trees
in the western and northern parts
of the commonwealth. Few trees
were effected by the frost IN
Dauphln or surrounding coun-
ties.
''rhe dry weather of the past
few months will have considera.
BILE to do with the cause of the
smaller crop, but this Is not en-
entirely to blame. Orchard own
ers all over the state are begin
nlng to learn that apples grow
better IN alternate years. Last
year the crop was good, although
not full crop, this year 1t is small.
er and all things beng equal,
next year the apple crop will be
good again.
"The owners of orchards are
learning through the DIVISIONS
experimental orchards how to
take care of their trees and re-
ports from all the orchards un-
der the supervision of that follow
ed our directions show that the
apples are dong very well.
'One strange thing about the
apples this year is that on healthy
trees that have been sprayed,
there are limbs that are near the
breaking point with fruit while
other limbs on the same tree are
practically bare. In some Or
chards that have been properly
looked after there are also some
trees that are full while right
next to them are trees with very
little fruit on them.
Pennsylvania Is becoming one
of the best apple states IN the
country. The demand for Penn.
sylvanla apples is forging right
ahead. l am almost daily in re-
ceipt of letters asking about the
crop this year, and there are
many dealers who never came IN
to Pennsylvania before, who dur.
ing the past few years now buy
their apples here. While Penn.
sylvania cannot compete with Ar
kansas and Missouri IN raising
Ben Davis apples, it can raise
some apples better than any 9th.
er state in the Union. No place
can such perfect York Imperlals
be raised as right here IN Penn
sylvania.
