localities. On account Of their habits
they cannot be reached by poisonous
sprays, and nostrums placed about the
roots. as sometimes recommended, are
utterly useless. The most efficient
means Of preventing damage from
these pests is by annual inspection OF
the trees and removal of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife. Various
protective measures are also used
One of the most effective is to paint
the lower part OF the stem In late win
ter or early spring with fairly thick
paints for this purpose. since others
may contain injurious substances.
Wood veneer strips and wire gauze
are sometimes used to prevent the
eggs from being laid on the trunks of
the trees, but white lead paint is sim
pier and cheaper
Black rot is fungous disease which
attacks the fruit. foliage, old bark and
branches OF apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other forms. Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk
and the limbs develop so rapidly as to
endanger the life of the trees, but this
is seldom the case except where spray
ing is wholly neglected. The fruit Is
rarely seriously injured. though out
breaks in this form may sometimes
be quite severe.

MOVE BIG TREES IN WINTER
They May Be Transplanted When the
Ground Is Not Too Much
Frozen-Good Method.

Large trees and shrubs may be
moved from one part of the place to
another when the ground is not too
much frozen The trees to be moved
should have trench dug about three
feet out from the trunk all around,
cutting the roots at the sides and also
underneath the ball Of earth II soil
is dry. pour on enough water to make
earth stick to the roots.
Have holes dug and as soon as the
ground around the roots is frozen, pull
the tree over with pair OF horses.

tie the tree to the dray; then haul to
place. Puddle the earth in bottom of
hole, set the tree in see that II is
the right depth and top plumb; press
the fine black earth round the sides.
ramming It In hard; tie the tree to
stout stakes. spread six or eight large
forkfuls of coarse manure around the
tree; then put on top of manure and
close up to the trunk several large
stones. The manure will keep the
soil cool and moist. and the stones
VIII prevent the roots from DelnS sha-
ken loose by severe winds.
Evergreens 10 to 20 feet in height
may be moved by this method. and II
we'll done not one tree need be lost.
Deciduous trees. owing to their
roots spreading out so far and going
so deep are much more difficult to
move. Trees to feet in height may
be moved. but large trees can seldom
be moved with success.
Flowering shrubs and large rose
bushes may be moved in the same
way. Always plant In good earth and
upon well-drained land. II soil is san,
dy or rocky make large holes; fill in
with good earth before planting,
The owner should attend to the
transplanting, as the work cannot be
left to hired help.

VALUE OF PROPER DRAINAGE

CBy PROF. f. r. JoNEs)

No farmer should dodge the wet
spots in his fields. A few dollars
spent in drainage will make these
spots yield valuable crops, and will
make the cultivation of the whole
field more convenient.
Don't wait for nature to drain the
wet lands without assistance. Ma
ture alone did not remove the stumps
and stones from the wooded, stony
lands
p Don't let the damaging water get
on to land. II 1t can be prevented. An

Don't let the waste banks OF bitches

late hour today shows 81 per cent
of votes cast in favor of backing up
the officers of the federation in their

Demands OF the organization
backed by this vote will be laid be-
fore Illinois Central officials in Chi

here declare that strike will be

Federation officers here say they
will make every effort to have the
road recognize the federation of the
ten unions involved.

The Fear of Exposure.

Cedar Falls Record: Newspapers
are often called upon to print items
of news that are not to the liking
of some of it's friends. 1t is not a
pleasant task and were it not Tor
the fact that the publisher feels
that his duty to his constituents as
a whole is paramount to the feel
ings of an individual, the line of
least resistance would be followed
in many cases, to the detriment of
the news service and the public
generally. When anybody gets into
trouble their first thought is to sup
press the newspaper item. Many
people who are not afraid of the po-
lice court, fear the white light of
publicity. This often acts as much
stronger deterrent than arrest and a
fine. This newspaper does not court
this kind of news, but will publish
it whenever in it's judgment it be-
lieves it to be for the best.
