SPRAYING STRAWBERRIES

With some varieties it very serious

The strawberry leaf roller is a
moth that appears in the spring,
tdepositing eggs on the leaves.
Wien the eggs hatch, the larvae
feed. upon the leaves, folding the
leaves over and fastening them by
means of a silken thread. They
thus eat only On the inner side of
this folded leaf. They sometimes
serious injure the plants, causing
them to dry up. There are two
broods a year. The second brood
appears shortly after the straw
berries have been gathered.
The surest remedy for this insect
is to NOV down the plants and
weeds and burn the bed off shortly
after the strawberries have been
picked. Spraying when the berries
are about one-half grown with
arsenical poison will kill the insect,
but it is difficult to spray straw
berries as they are so soon ripe
after they set. The burning off pro-
cess recommended does not seem
to be entirely harmless to the
strawberry field, as occasionally
some plants will be killed and it
will thus be more difficult to secure
a good row for the next year.
The white grub that bothers us
in the garden sometimes may be
a fairly troublesome insect in the
strawberry field. The insect feeds
upon the roots Of some plants,
especially grasses. When the field
is plowed up, if they are numerous
they may feed upon the strawberry
root and do considerable harm.
The remedy is to grow some
other crop than grass or straw
berries on the land until they are
starved out.
The Crown Borer is a beetle
somewhat similar to the Plum Cur
culio. They deposit their eggs in
June or early July. The eggs
hatch into larvae that eat their wav
into the crown and there in feed
ing mine out the crown more or
less.
These. beetles do not migrate
very badly, SO the best remedy is
to rotate the crop, putting no
strawberries on land that has been
in strawberries during the previous
few years, provided these insects
are cart0i1c

Breeding 10 United States
Becomes Quite Extensive

Ohio Is noted as we'll for the d.
yersity as for the extensiveness of
her industries, and every little while
one hears that new industrial &C.

one pushed to remarkable degree.
It has just come to light that an
Ohio man has developed the most ex.

In the United States, says the Colum.
bus Evening Dispatch. He is Fred
Held and his place Of business is at
New London, little village in the
southeastern corner of Huron county.
The records of Held's business
show that the number of ferrets now
annually produced there and sold
reaches the high point of 10000. And
they go to all parts of the United
States and to foreign countries. The
demand not only continues, but is IN.

at the Held plant grows with It.
The peculiar industry was started

at 1t, but they did not grasp the pos.

he got the idea from them, has de-

dreamed OF by the Farnsworth men.

exclusively for killing rabbits. but

Wharves are always infested with
rats Of large species that live on the

water shipping districts of ports to
see rats going abroad by way OF the

Every vessel carries it's equipment

1t is not generally known that the
ferret's choice of food is horsenesh
That must be an acquired taste, for OF
course in his wild state and unaided
by man the ferret could never secure
such food. Many an ancient horse

The matter of providing food fol

WILSON THE GENTLEMAN
york, Penn, Gazette)

In addition to all his other excellent
attributes, Gov. Wilson is gentle
man at all times. The excitement and
turmoil OF a presidential campaign
are not sufficient to overthrow his
poise or to excite him to incorporate
language. He has been the target Of
enough Misrepresentation, extending
all the way from statements based
upon a misunderstanding OF his posi-
tion to malicious perversiOn OF facts
with intent to deceive. to make excusa
BILE some display OF temper. But he
has kept cool. Particularly CALLING
must have been the language Of the
Third Termer. But he has remained
unmoved.
"In his address before the New
York Press Club, Governor Wilson
took occasion to discuss the Roosevelt
party. Instead of the Incorporate
and at times insulting, manner in
which Roosevelt has treated him, the
governor paid a high tribute to the
really honest members of that party
that must make them hang their heads
in shame when comparing IL to the at
tacks made upon Wilson and Democ
racy by their leader and some of theil
organs. II Is a speech that ought tc
be read by all men. II is the message
to real men. IL Is not the hysterica
exclamation OF man with a grievance
which he exalts into a cause.
After paying a high tribute to those
who really believe In the Roosevelt
cause, Governor Wilson calmly and
carefully points out the very obvious
fact that, even II their candidate
should he elected. he could not at all
carry out the program which the
party has laid down. lie does not fee
called upon to denounce any man al
a liar or a crook or assert that any
one Is guilty Of false pretense. but con
tents himself with calling attention I,
the great mistake being made by
those who hope to accomplish any
thing through this movement.
In a gentlemanly wanner he tells
the public that the Democratic part,
has been progressive for sixteen years
and that through II, and IL alone. car
come the relief demanded, which Il
strictly true. Nor does he intimat,
that a man Is a crook or fool becaus,
he Is a real Republican. He lays thu
blame right where II belongs when h,
says that that party has been misle,
by it's leaders until now IL Is helpless
and hopeless. He lays no claim to di
vinity or infallibility on his part o
that of his party. but shows that o
all parties II Is the one best adapte'
10 the present needs OF the public
Is no wonder that he IL gainin
strength so rapidly. lie fully deserve
II all.

farm
Worth $4,000 Is Given To A
Licking Co. Woman
Newark Advocate)

Would you consent to leave COM
Portable farm near Black Hand to
journey two.thirds of the distance
across North America to take up your
residence on a $25,000 Colorado farm
that didn't cost you cent?
You don't know?
Well, It Is a serious problem. But
that is just the problem which is now
being faced by Mr.. and Mrs. w. l..
Hoy, of Black Hand. Like most of
us they will probably decide to sur
render rented farm for the Joy of
living on property Of their own.
Mrs. Hoy has a wealthy uncle in
Colorado whose name in John Nc.
Mutt. He is large owner of mining
and agricultural properties. He or
iginally owned this 200 acres $25,006
farm. which is now the property of
Mrs. Hoy.
Mrs. Hoy knew her uncle was very
! wealthy, but he had never intimated
/ that he intended to bestow any of
his property to her. She was much
surprised therefore week ago, when
a bulky letter was delivered to her
home by the rural carrier. 1t con-
tanned the deed to the Colorado farm
with letter from the uncle stating
that the parcel of land was located in
the richest agricultural district of
Colorado and was worth $10O to $125
per acre. 1t Is located near Glenwood
Springs, Colo.
At present Mr.. and Mrs. Hoy are
living on rented farm near Black
Hand. They have two children and
have lived on the present farm but
short time.
| They are now considering the ad
visibility of dsposing of their Lick
ing county interests and journeying
across the country to Colorado to
take up their new homestead. They
will possibly live on the Licking
county place until Spring, though
they may decide to leave before that
time.
