CAUSE OF CHESTNUT BLIGHT
Whitening of Trees Is Result of Bor-
Ing by Insect Between Outer
and Inner Bark.

Thomas Davy Candy of Langhorne,
near Philadelphia, declares that he
has discovered the cause of the blight
which is whitening chestnut trees in
the middle and south Atlantic states.
A boring beetle, one-sixteenth OF an
inch long, black in color, which lays
it's eggs between the outer and the
inner barks, Is the primary cause, he
says. Grubs are Matched from the
eggs, and these penetrate the soft in
ner bark, following its course around
the tree trunk. Above the patch OF
the borer occurs the blighted appear
ance Myriads of the tiny worms were
found upon single tree upon Mr..
Candy's land, and the total result of
their depredations was 80 extensive
that the tree, he says, appears to have
been scorched by fire. The blight has
become SO serious In Pennsylvania
that the legislature appropriated
$275,000 to commission appointed
by the governor to investigate the
cause of the disease and to devise
ways for exterminating 1t.

The shelves are each eight inches
wide and three inches deep. The top
one is three feet long, the middle two

two feet long. These shelves should
be covered with a couple of inches OF
sand, In which the pots are to be
plunged. If this sand is kept moist it
will prevent unusual drying of the
soil in the pots. The whole frame
work should be mounted on casters,
preferably of iron, and braces should
be placed at the back and across the
bottom, as shown in the drawing.

FOR KILLING PLUM CURCULIO
Earring Method Can Be Advantage
ously Practiced-AlI Ladybugs
Should Be Liberated.

"The plum curculio winters in the
adult stage, emerging in the spring
just as the fruit buds begin to swell"
says Prof. j. G. Sanders, head of the
economic entomology department of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Immediately,
1t begins to feed on the young foliage
and fruit buds and should be treated
with strong spray of lead arsenate,
as this is the only stage at which an
arsenical poison is effective in controll-
ing The pest.
The curculio is distinguished from
the plum gOuger in that it never pene-
trates the fruit stone. The female
curculio deposits her eggs in crescent
shaped cuts, which she makes on the
surface Of the fruit Seven to ten days
later, the larvae emerge and about
two weeks after this they leave the
fruit, crawl into the ground, where
they spin cocoon and pupate. In
this stage of the life cycle the insect
can be killed by intensive cultivation

method of control is advantageously
practiced," continued Prof. Sanders.
This system involves the use of a
