He has no saw, no plane. no square

in a dead tree as you could with a
two-inch augur. He simply pecks and

hard and SO sharp that it cuts right
into the wood.
Sometimes woodpecker will pound

insects that live in dead wood, and

he can tell whether or not there are
any insecs in the wood. The tattoo
Is to stir 'em up. When he is actual.

TO GET RID
~ OF CHB-
BhGE HPHIS

Week before last our Silverton
correspondent asked for some
remedy to get rid Of insects on
cabbage, We took the matter
up with the Agricultural Col
lege, and have received as a re-
ply an article on the Cabbage
Aphis, which we believe will be
of value to our readers, and pub
lish the article for their benefit in
full:
The cabbage aphis or louise is
one of the worst pests the grower
of this crop has to contend with
in New Mexico, The aphis is a
sucking insect and must be
combated with a contact spray.
1t is of a bluish-gray color, or an
oval shape, being little larger
than the head of a common pin.
They make their appearance IN
early summer on the plant, and
are usually found on the under
surface of the leaves, Their
presence on the plant may be
easily detected by the edge of
the infested leaf curling up.
The aphides live in colonies,
and multiply very rapidly. I'm
less checked they soon spread
over the entire plant and either
kill it or cause it to head very
poorly.
: Remedies, There are quite a
number of remedies recommend
ed for use against the aphls. The
horticultural Department OF the
New Mexico Experiment Station
has used several of these rene
dies, and has found some of
them to be both practical and
effective. They are made and
used as follows;
