prevail on the Rocky mountain plateau
attended by showery conditions in
Arizona, New Mexico. Utah and Col

harvest festival is one of the best ever
shown in this part of the state in point
of variety and quality as well. Nege-

those of apples and corn. showing that
these crops are the best of the year,

included apples weighing more than a

of dwarfinR fruit trees. This prevails
to quite an extent in Europe and to
some extent in America. These
dwarfs are not so diminutive in size
as are the Chinese and Japanese
dwarfs. This class of dwarfs is in
vogue where it is important to econo-
mize in the use of space. In many
parts of Europe dwarf trees are grown
where there is not room for the
standard trees. sometimes the trees
are trained so as to be spread out
against the wall of a house or are
trained on frames erected for that
purpose. A good deal of fruit can be
raised in that way where none could
be secured without the use of dwarfs.
Dwarf trees bear younger than stand
ard trees, but are shorter lived.
Where a person is not cramped for
space, which is generally the case in
the country, there is no good reason
for growing dwarfs. If the grower is
limited for space or is in hurry to
force his trees into bearing. he may
profitably resort to dwarfs, but he
must know that in the long run the
dwarf trees can not compete with
the standards.
Root pruning is rarely resorted to
in America. Ii dwarfs are desired in
this country this end is reached by
using the Paradise or Doucin stocks
for dwarf apples and ounce stocks
for pears. These being slow growing
varieties there is no need of root
pruning. The tops in such cases must
be heavily pruned so as to keep up
the balance between the roots and
tops There is a semi dwarting secur
ed by heavy top-pruning. But we
must not forget that in all these

cases we are waging war against
nature.
1t is pleasant, and to some extent
profitable thing, to experiment with
the various methods of dwarfing trees.
By experimenting we learn some of
our best lessons in horticulture. But
these experiments should always be
on small scale until we become sure
of the ground on which we stand.
When we are experimenting we must
not forget the sound philosophy Of
Robert Burns when he says:

Gang oft agley,
And leave us naught but grief and

still have something upon which you

curcuIio we must bear in mind that
this insect belongs to the chewers
and not to the suckers. Ii we spray
with arsenate of lead, and cover the
fruit with that preparation, these
insects in eating into the fruit will
eat some Of the poison and will be
killed. But as the curculio does not
eat any leaves and only digs its way
into the fruit, it does not get much
of the poison. The most effectual
way to combat this insect is by what
is called the earring process. :" To
accomplish this, sheets are spread
under the trees and they are Jared
by being hit with a cushioned maui
when most of the insects will drop on
the sheets and can be gathered up
and destroyed with fire or hot water.
In this way j. Fl. Hale, the peach
king, destroyed these insects in his
great peach orchard in Georgia.
These sheets were not spread on the
ground but were tackled on to frames
in such a manner as to be easily and
quickly placed under the trees. One
thing that greatly helps in this jar
ring process is the fact that the
curculio "plays possum' when shaken
onto the sheets. What we mean by
"playing possum" is that these in
sects, when they are shaken on to the

ABOUT CURCULlO.

II. W. West of Okanogan county,
WASH, writes as follows under date
of August %:
"Under separate cover send you
specimens of Italian prunes that have
been ''stung" apparently by insects.
Very few prunes or plums in this
vicinity have escaped this pest this
season, although heretofore there has
been no trouble of this kind here. 1t
stops the growth of fruit which
shrivels and drops off. Will you
kindly tell the cause of the trouble
and how best to guard against it in
the future?"
| confess that this is case that
puzzles me. The prunes sent by
friend West very clearly show the
stings of some insect. The marks on
the fruit resemble the work of the
curculio and | would pronounce it to
be the stings of that insect but for
one thing, and that is, l have not
seen nor heard of the curculio being
found in the state of Washington. l
know that it is possible to have this
very dangerous insect imported into
the Northwest at any time and when
it is once introduced it will most
likely be a serious pest. 1t is true
that the curculio and many other
families of the coleoptera, 1.-THE
beetles), do the most of their damage
in the warm climates, but the climate
of Washington is not too cold, unless
l am mistaken, for this insect to do
much harm. In such climates as we
find in the state of Georgia this beetle
does immense damage. So great was
it's damage to the peach crop in
Georgia that the United States
Government sent specialists there a
few years ago to study its ravages. l
have access to the report of this COM
mission which shows that 40 per cent
of the peach crop in some years has
been ruined by the ravages of these
"little Turks" In j. III. Hale's
great peach orchards gang of men,
women and children are annually
employed at heavy expense to fight
this pest and where this is done only
loss of per cent is sustained. j.
II. Hale is called the "peach king of
America" and the gang that he
employs to fight this pest amounts to
60 persons each summer. Labor is
very cheap in Georgia, or was when
this report was made some Is years
ago, for Mr.. Hale had to pay 60
persons, but s25 in the aggregate for
each days work. Such a company
of workers could not be hired in
Washington for 800 per day.

stroyed. Where but few trees are

McAleer Says He Will Defer
to Connie Mack's
Wishes.
WHOLE SERIES is
MERELY TENTATIVE
Long Coming Tonight and May
Be in Lineup To-
morrow. 3:
BY SENATOR"

"If Connie Mack insists that the ALL
Stars-Athletics post-season series be
played in Baltimore, Washington, and
Philadelphia, why. / suppose that's the
way it will be played" said Manager
McAleer today, concerning the report
from Philadelphia that Connie Mack
declined to allow his team to play any
Of the games in Richmond.
MY agreement with DR.. Bagby, Of
Richmond, is. of course, contingent up
on the acceptance by Mack of the plan
to have one or two games played in
the Virginia city.
'"The whole series is merely tentative,
anyway. We don't know just how
many games we may be able to play
or the exact date Of their starting. l
shall have further talks with Manager
Mack before the series opens and we
shall agree before it gets under way"
Wants Home Game.
Connie Mack is willing to have the
opening game played in Baltimore. Sun
day, October 8, but he wants the other
games to be scheduled for Washington
and Philadelphia.
McAleer spoke in good faith when he
promised DR.. George F. Bagby that
Richmond would see one, and possibly
two of the post-season games, but the
promise may have to be rescinded IL
Connie Mack holJs to his present in
tention of playing some OF the games
In Philadelphia.
Outfelder Long, Of Gadsden, Ala, is
expected in this city tonight or tomor-
row morning. Manager McAleer has
received a wire from him to this effect
and Is planning on playing him in right
field tomorrow against the Boston Red
SoX.
''From all have heard Of this young
ster," says McAleer, hes the goods.
Not only does he land on the ball, but
he steals a couple of bases in every
game. Minor league batting averages
ming anywhere, and when a lad can
run right along, stealing two and eycn
three bases in almost every game-why,
he must be fast. ..-..
To Play Long 20 p.-
'T shall play Long as soon As he gets
here, and that ought to be tomorrow.
1t won't hurt him to face a major
league team, and the experience he gets
here for the rest Of the season, backed
by a home crowd, will come in handy
next season.
Walter johnson is expected to pitch the
opening game against the Red Sox to-
the hill, and the Bostonians will find
him one of the hardest nuts they have
had to crack in many moon.
NThe Red Sox team arrived today from
PhffIdSlphia and will be in excellent
condition for tomorrows battle.
