]. ]. Casey, a successful Southern
farmer and an able writer on industrial
and agricultural subjects. writes an in
teresting letter to the Inland Farmer
on the subject OF Home Canneries"
1t is a timely subject and one in
which Virginia and North Carolina
farmers are just now very much inter-
tsted. Mr. Casey says:
When the first large canning fac
tory was introduced in America many
years ago. they began using the TIN
cans instead OF the glass The nom
Gamers believed at this time that only
the large factories could put up fruit
and vegetables in tin cans. as they
supposed the art Of quick operate on
mechanically was necessary. This

OF the fruit or Vegetables

1911 proved that it would be destroyed
by a good wettlng with any Of the in

ever, that the adults very soon get into
the buds. where spray mixtures can
not reach them directly. Early recog-
milton of their presence and prompt.
thorough. quickly repeated applica-
tions are necessary for success.
The nicotine preparations are very
effective, especially when combined
with an oil emulsion which has a pen

Called Pear Thrips, but May Feed or
Work on Other Plants.
A recent surprise to entomologists is
the finding Of pear thrips In New York
state. says bulletin Of the state agrl-
cultural experiment station. This in
sect has been present in California in
destructive numbers for several years,
but it was unidentified in the east until
the spring of 1911.
In 1910, when the loss from the
thrips was greatest. pear growers in
the region about Germantown, n. T.,
found their Kieffer crops reduced from
one-third to nine-tenths or even more.
The mature thrips is a very minute
insect, only one-twentieth of an inch
long. 1t is dark brown in color, ap-
pearing almost black on casual view.
and bears four peculiar long, narrow,
feathery wings. which gave the thrips
its old name. fringe wings" The
wings are simple, and each consists
merely of single strong rib bordered
by closely set long hairs.
These adults come from resting cells
in the soil, where they have spent the
winter The date of emergence varies
with the season. but is apparently
timed to precede by few days the
swelling and opening of the pear buds.
While commonly called pear" thrips.
this pest may feed or work on quite
range of plants 1t was found in New
York during 1911 on apple. apricot,
cherry, peach, plum and ounce as well
as on pear. and in California it also
attacks almond, fig. grape and English
walnut. II 1t becomes established In
the east it may have to be fought on
the above fruits and probably others.
AS sucking insect the thrips can
not be reached by internal poisons. but
must be destroyed by contact insecti-
cides. 1t is not difficult to kill If reach

"If deacon wouldn't swear
II he sat plunk on a sharp tack
/ set up on his chair.
'T'd like to try his self control.
I'd like to have the chance
To drop just one live bumbebee
Into his Sunday pants"
Well. Trlxie had his chance that day.
For when we went TO swim
Who was a-swimming In the dam
But good old Deacon Priml
Then TrixIe found a hornets nest.
And when he had a chance
He gently slipped that redhot nest
Into the deacon's pants.
Did deacon swear when he came out
And jumped into those pants?
Did he tear up the atmosphere
And do a grizzly dance?
Well, say. OF all the languages
This world has ever spoke
The deacon swOre them ali TO rags.
And they went up in smoke

May seem the very best;
But, say, have you sat right plunk down
On a hot hornets nest?
