HABITS OF ORCHARD PESTS
No Definite Rule With Reference to
Time Insects Deposit Their Eggs
or Work Damage.

There is no definite rule that can be
laid down with reference to the time
at which winged insect pests Of the
orchard deposit their eggs. Some are
night flying insects and deposit their
eggs at night; others are active only
during the day, and deposit their eggs
during that time. The cooling moth
is one of the night flying insects and
begin to deposit eggs late in the
evening, just about dusk, and continu-
ues most active throughout the early
part of the night. The curculio on
the other hand, is most active during
the day, remaining inactive at night.
The same holds true with reference to
the general activity of insects. AS a
rule the moths fly only at night, while
some of the beetles are most active at
night and others during the day.

oak and other woods. They exist in
all kinds of trees, but in many, as, for
example, the chestnut, they are so fine
as hardly to be seen with the naked
eye.
1t is correct to speak of the rings Of
growth as annual rings" for as long
as the tree is growing healthily ring
is formed each year. 1t is true that
two false rings may appear in one
year, but they are caused whenever
the growth of the tree is interrupted.
This happens when the foliage is de-
stroyed by caterpillars and grows
again in the same season, or when a
severe drought in early summer stops
growth for time, after late frosts,
and in similar cases.
An annual ring once formed does
not change in size or place during the
healthy life of the tree, except that it
Is covered in time by other younger
layers.

CHAPTER VIl!.-Continued.

Then the grin died away, and his
face grew bleak and serious. Leav-
ing out his interests in the several
Western reclamation projects (Which
were still assessing heavily, he was a
ruined man. But harder hit than this
was his pride. He had been so easy.
They had gOld-bricked him, and he
had nothing to show for it. The sim
plest farmer would have had docu-
ments, while he hau nothing but a
gentieman's agreement, and a verbal
one at that. Gentleman's agreement.
He snorted over it. John Dowsett's
voice. just as he had heard it in the
telephone receiver, sounded in his
ears the words, Con my honor as a
gentleman" They were sneak-thieves
and swindlers, that was what they
were, and they had given him the
double-cross. The newspapers were
right. He had come to New York to
be trimmed, and Messrs. Dowsett, Let
ton and Guggenhammer had done it..
He was a little fish, and they had
played with him ten days-ample time
in which to swallow him, along with
his eleven millions. OF course, they
had been unloading on him all the
time, and now they were buying Ward
Valley back for a song ere the mar
ket righted itself
And Daylight sat and consumed
cocktails and saw back in his life to
Alaska, and lived over the grim years
in which he had battled for his eleven
millions For awhile murder ate
at his heart, and wild ideas and
sketchy plans of killing his betrayers
flashed through his wind. Daylight I'M

PEACH SCAB AND BROWN ROT
Best Funoicide Known at Present
Time Is SeIf-8oiIed Lime and
Sulphur Mixture.

The self-boiled lime and sulphur
mixture is the best fungicide known
at the present time for the control OF
peach scab and brown rot. Three ap-
plications are considered necessary
for good results where peach scab is
likely to occur. The first application
is to be made just as the calyx is be-
ing shed from the fruits.
The second application to be made
three weeks after the first. The third
application should be made about
three weeks after the second. The
self-boiled lime and sulphur mixture
should not be applied to the fruit
within four weeks of the ripening
time, as the mixture may give the
fruit a whitewashed appearance when
ready for market

New Type Of Spray Nozzle.

take the spray as it comes out Of the
one-eighth-inch nozzle under high
pressure and break it up into a fine
mist, and with the pressure which We
used it is capable of throwing the
mist 20 or Is feet. This is sufficient
to reach, from a ladder, most of the
foliage on a large elm tree. In case
adjustment is thrown out sof the CEN
ter and the spray goes directly
through the one-eighth-inch aperture.
By this means a greater distance and
carrying power are secured, although
not SO fine spray.
In the drawing the nozzle is shown
surrounded by shield, C, which was
for the purpose of protecting the
point, c. The nozzle as originally con-
structed was not provided with a
shield, being used for some days with
out it, but with the hard usage which
it received lit wasl found that the
adjustment was likely to be injured.
The nozzle was used in connection
with machine giving ESQ pounds
pressure, and the spraying mixture
was carried through one-inch hose.
This nozzle was used in
spraying over 1000 trees having an
average diameter of about % inches.
Careful estimates made showed that
the average amount of arsenate Of
lead per tree was IT pounds, or about
II gallons of arsenate of lead solu-
ton. The cost of spraying each tree,
including the labor, gasoline and lead,
was IS cents.
The spraying was just as thorough
and the cost was about one-third Of
that by the ordinary method, using
Vermorel and other fine-mist nozzles.

The United States forest service is

that the Klondiker was playing. But
