The grape leaf hopper Is an I'M
portant pest of the grape and during
the past two years it has been on the
increase In some sections. In many
vineyards the necessity for efficient
methods of control has been apparent.
The insect weakens the vines by pierc-
Ing the epidermis of the under side OF
the leaf and sucking the cell sap, thus
in1uring the cells and exposing them
to the drying action of the air. This
injury results in a decrease In the
amount of wood, and 1t also affects
the quantity and quality of the fruit.
Fruit from badly infested vines Is
poorly ripened
The leaf hopper is a sucking insect
and lives on the under sides of the
grape leaves. Eggs are laid during
June by the overwintering adults, and
by the beginning Of July the young
nymphs are on the vines in abundance.
These nymphs pass through five stages
or instars before becoming adults.
Nymphs of the first brood mature dur
Ing the latter part of July and early
part of August, and during normal
seasons many Of them lay eggs from
which develops a partial second
brood. During 1911 complete second
brood was observed. Young nymphs
Of the first instar were found as late
as October /. Most of these nymphs
become adults before the leaves drop
from the grape vine. The adults hi
bernate among rubbish, grass, weeds
and fallen leaves. They are active
during the warmer days of the hiber-
mating period and feed on various
grasses, preferring the leaves Of bush
fruits during the spring before return
ing to the young foliage of the grape
vines.
During the summer the adults are
Of yellowish appearance, being COW
cred with darker yellow lines. These
darker areas turn salmon before the
insects leave the vines in the fall and
they become dark red when the in
sects are in their winter quarters. AS
soon as they have fed again upon
grape foliage in the spring these areas
become yellow.
Experiments have proven that a
spray containing 2-100 of one per
cent. nicotine is the most effective and
safest contact insecticide for the con-
troll OF the grape leaf hopper. This
must be directed against the nymphs,
which are hit by applying the spray
to the under sides of the leaves.
The application Of the spray for this
insect can be done by the usual hand
spraying with trailing hose or by an
automatic leaf hopper sprayer.
The grape hopper, being q suck
ing insect, secures it's food by insert
ing it's proboscis or beak through the
epidermis or skin of the leaf, piercing
the underlying tissue and sucking up
the cell sap. Having satisfied its hun
ger it withGraws its beak and wanders
about the leaf. With the withdrawal
, of the proboscis the injured leaf tissue
Is exposed to the drying action of the
air, which not only completes the de-
struction of the injured cells but dries
out the surrounding cells, thus causing
a small portion Of the leaf to die. This
area is small but the accumulative eff
feet is of Importance in the economy
Of the plant. These injured parts
turn yellow and, as the injuries In
crease by the feeding OF the insects

CHAPTER xxIll-(continued).

Mrs. Wellington glanced the same
way, and a shrek of understanding
burst from her II sent the porter
into spasm OF yah-yahs till he
caught Ashton's eyes and saw murder
in them. The porter fed to the plat
form and held the door fast. expect
ing TO be lynched.
But Ashton dashed away in search
of concealment and soap.
The porter remained on the plat
form for some time, planning to leap
overheard and take his chances rather
than fall into Ashton's hands, but at
length, finding himself unpursued, he
peered into the car and, seeing that
Ashton had gone, he returned to his
duties. He kept a close watch on
Ashton, but on soberer thoughts Ash
ton had decided that the incident
would best be consigned to silence
and oblivion. But for all the rest OF
that day he kept rubbing his lips
with his handkerchief
The porter, noting that the train
had swept into a granite gorge like
an enormously magnified aisle in a
made-up sleeping Sar, recognized the
presence of Echo Canyon, and with
1t the entrance into Utah. He fastened
to impart the tidings to Mr. Fosdick
and held out his hand as he extended
the information
Fosdick could hardly believe that
his twelve-hundred-mil exile was
over.
Were in Utah?" he exclaimed.
"Yassah," and the porter showed
his palm into view. Fosdick filed it
with all his loose change, then
whirled to his wife and cried:
Edith We are in Utah now! En-,
brace met"
She flung herself into his arms with
a gurgle of bliss. The other passen-
gers gasped with amazement. This
sort of thing was permissible enough
in a tunnel, but in the full light OF
day!
Fosdick, noting the sensation he
had created, waved his hand reas-
suringly and called across his wife's
shoulder:
ION De dldi Hitu, lduleS ana gen
tlemen. She's my wife," He added
in whisper meant for her ear alone
AT least till we get to Nevada"
Then she whispered something In
his ear and they hurried from the car.
They left behind them a bewilder-
ment that eclipsed the wonder OF the
Mallories. That couple spoke to each
other at least during the day time.
Here was a married pair that did not
speak at all for two days and two
nights and then made a sudden and
public rush to each others arms!
DR.. Temple summed up the general
feeling when he said:
81 don't believe in witches, but n 1
did. I'd believe that this train is be-
witched."
Later he decided that Fosdick was a
Mormon elder aud that Mrs. Fosdick
was probably twelfth or thirteenth
spouse he was smuggling in from the
east. The theory was not entirely
false, for Fosdick was one OF the
many victims of the crazy-quilt OF
American divorce codes, though he
was The most unwilling of polygamists.
And Or. Temple gave up his theory in
despair the next morning when he
found the Fosdicks still on the train.
