foliage in midsummer. Trees are often
killed as a result of repeated defolia-
ton. A short crop of fruit follows a
severe attack by this insect, on account
Of the weakened condition Of the tree.
Tie slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. In central Iowa
the slugs appear, first, about the mid
die of June; second. about the third
week in July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting it over
the leaves. Hellebore may be used
either in a dry or a liquid form. 1t
must be fresh for effective use. For
q dry application use hellebore, one

''De Re Rustica" when he said:
"What is the first principle of

What is the second? To pillow

"Plan to have a big compost

manure. When it is hauled out
see that it is well rotted and

And to the farmer who had no
stock he said:
"You can make manure out of
