The Coming Season,
Outlook Is Good for Names
General Fruit Crop.
Lieut.. Butcher Is Pleased with His

Prof. z. F. Hitchings. former STATE
entomologist. who is at present at the
head of the horticultural department
of the University of Maine at orono,
was a visitor. Thursday. at the agri-
cultural department in the interests OF
three fruit exhibitions which are to be

England Fruit Show, member of the
executive committee of the Portland
Corn and Fruit Show, and a member
of the executive committee of me

hold its exhibitions in Augusta in the
middle of November.
In discussing these three fruit shows
with Journal reporter Prof. Hitch
ings said: The most important of the
three exhibitions is that of the New
England Fruit Show. which will be
held in Boston the last week of
October. Its exhibit this wear will
far exceed that of two years ago and

web worm is doing great deal of
damage at the present time. These
should be looked after at once, and
destroyed before they do any fur5her
damage. Especially is this true of he
young orchards. where they are doing
so much damage that the trees viii
be incapacitated from bearing if the
pests are not destroyed
Prof. Hitehings declares that the
fall web worm is a much worst pest to
the orchards then the brown tail moth.
which the orchardists so much dread.
He explains it in this way. The tent
of the web worm prevents the sue
cessful use of the spray. as in the case
of the brown-tail moth, and, il the
tents are destroyed. the worms escabe.
1t is necessary to go over the orchards
three or four times in order to get rid
of the fall web worm, while the winter
nests of the brown tails can he Sc
cured in the winter. thus preventing
the need of resorting to spraying in
the spring"

number of torpedo boat destroyers and
submarines soon to come from the
builders hands In the case of the
Oregon, which in full commission and
active service would require a crew
numbering about 700 from $50 to 200
men will suffice TO keep her in the
reserve fleet ready for action in case
of emergency the moment the neces-
sary number of sailors could be found
to fill other skeleton crews.
The reserve fleet viii not undertake
any cruise but will lie at their docks
or swing from their moorings the mon
