Tent Caterpillar.
Union City, Ga

The tent caterpillar is one Of the
most annoying of tree fruit pests.
Much Of the annoyance may be avoid
ed by collecting the eggs during the
winter. These are laid in masses on
twigs. They can be easily seen. Never
burn them. Place them where the
young worms cannot escape. but
where the parasites that are nearly
always present can fly away. These
parasites will take care of the cater
pillars that are missed when the eggs
were collected.

FARMERS LACK IN CAUTION

Caution Just an ordinary, eveGv

1t is the one thing farmers lack
above all other qualities. Caution they
have in plenty in certain directions,

should be applied.

sacrifices. | know, of course. 1t Is
due in a measure to the fact that his
bump of caution has become abnorm-

But, on the other hand, the wordy,
windy, promising politician seems
able to wipe out this bump OF eau
ton every election day. Fooled time

to accept and take hold Of move
