It is white or pinkish, has distinct
feet and "a dark brown head. The
apple maggOt or railroad worm is
much smaller, is shaped like maggot,
has no feet and no distinct head, and
makes tunnels here and there through
the pulp of the apple. Where these
tunnels run close beneath The skin
they are apt to show through on the
outside as irregular, dark, wandering
marks. 1t is these tracks that give
the pest it's name of railroad worm.
The railroad worm cannot be poi
soned by spraying as can the codling
worm. The latter is Matched from an
egg laid outside the apple, and must
eat its way into the fruit. Hence II
is readily killed by q poison spray,
such as paris green Dr arsenate OF
lead The railroad worm, on the other
hand, is Matched from an egg laid be-
meath the skin of the fruit The
young maggot does not enter from the
outside of the apple, but feeds from
beginning to end within the pulp of
the fruit Hence it cannot be poi
Boned by spraying.
The parent insect that lays the egg
from which the railroad worm
matches is a two-winged fly, about the
size of common house fly. 1t looks
like the house fly, except that its
wings have dark zig-zag marks on
them. 1t appears in the orchard
about the first of July and soon be-
gins laying eggs, especially in the
earlier fruit These flies live until
September, continuing to lay eggs all
the time.
The maggot that matches from the
eggs always feeds within the pulp OF
the apple until after the apple has
dropped from the tree. Then as soon
as the fruit has become mellow or
has begun to rot, the maggot bores
it's way out of the fruit, goes down
into the ground two or three inches,
and remains there throughout the fall
and winter. 1t does not move after 1t
enters the ground, but contracts and
becomes brown and hard, looking like
a fiaxseed. 1t is from these objects
that the adult flies emerge the follow
ing summer.
We thus see that the infested apple
must fall from the tree, and must be
come somewhat mellow. before any
maggots leave it and go into the
ground. Very early fruit will be
fairly mellow when it falls from the
tree and will soon begin to rot. From
such fruit maggots viii be emerging
within a few days after it drops from
the tree. From fall fruit maggots
will not come out in numbers for a
week or so. From winter fruit mag
COTS will not come out until the fruit
has been off the tree from two to
three weeks. Therefore, we may OBJ
serve the following schedule in keep
ing fruit picked up:
Early varieties should be picked up
twice week. Fall varieties should be
picked up once a week, and winter
apples should be picked up once ev-
cry two weeks.
Special attention should be given
the early varieties of fruit. These are
more apt to be infested and If allowed
to lie on the ground will quickly be-
come mellow, thus allowing the mag
COTS to mature and enter the ground,
where they will be ready for next
year.

CHAPTER X.-Continued.

GIOrIa's admiration of her fathers
powers did not lessen upon their bet
ter acquaintance. Strange IS it may
seem, her loyalty to him was strength
ened by each turn OF fortunes wheel
which thrust her back upon herself.
The frivolous veneer in her nature
was being worn away, and the real
Gloria was beginning to appear.
Kerr's was indeed a powerful person
atty, and Gloria was coming 20 see
why he was so successful. A woman's
intuition and not an understanding Of
the facts in the case was the girls tu-
tor She Rugged to her heart the COM
parison OF Joe Wright and her father.
In the younger man she saw some of
the traits which made her father a
power-magne reserve strength,
and logical mind. Wright had that
and more: he had all the social
graces. To her, however his great
est appeal was that he was youth,
eternal youth, and love.
What Gloria could not understand
was why Wright was avoiding her. In
her ears she could hear him whisper
as ne Dad that night:
Spring on the hills, Beloved
On the side OF a meadowed slope;
And Love in our hearts, Beloved.
Love. and Spring and Hope.
Now was spring here and hope and
the promise of love, but he did not
come. After her return from St
Louis she had waited In vain. Then
she had asked to have him invited to
dinner. When Mrs Gilbert telephoned
him he refused owing to press of
business, but asked to speak to Clio
ria. She came to the telephone and
they had a pleasant chat He told her
that he was busy finishing some mag
azine articles which the editor was
pressing him for, and that he was
working night and day. For the time
being Gloria accepted this explana-
ton. The day of their telephone CON
versation there came from him box
OF red roses at the dinner hour.
1t must not be thought that Clio
ria was entirely cut off from society.
1t was the society she craved, the in
innate association with certain ones
which she was not finding. To all the
formal functions Gloria was invited,
but she no longer cared for big balls
as formerly. Her dances were all
taken, but there was something in the
atmosphere which dampened her spir-
its. Although every one was superb.
cially pleasant, there was no cordial
ity in it at all. So she busted herself
more and more with remodeling her
country home.
One day at Locust Lawn a man en-
gagged in digging the foundation for
the new porch touched his hat and
called Mrs. Hayes by name. She
stopped to talk to him and betrayed
a knowledge of his family affairs
which astonished Gloria After they
had passed, the girl questioned her
