LATE WORK WITH
STRAWBERRY PLANT
Cultivation Should Be Continued
Until Compelled to Stop
by Cold Weather.
CBy M. n. EDGERToN.)

We should still continue to keep the
cultivators going In the strawberry
bed. In fact we discontinue tillage
only when compelled to do so by rains
or freezing weather.
We consider this work OF special
Importance IL the fall season be in any
wise dry. Not only Is this tillage ncc.
essary In order that proper moisture
conditions be preserved, but the sur.
face should be kept loose, so that air
may be freely admitted, conserving
those conditions favorable to the pro-
cesses of soil life which change the
elements of plant food from an insolu'
BILE to a soluble form, that Is to say

assimilated by the plants.
There are many who fail to recog
nize the importance OF this late tillage,

put their knowledge into practice
Having started in well we believe In
running well to the end.
Stray weeds should be kept out
also. They are a nuisance. Even un'
der the best OF culture they will creep
in, seeming like "Jonah's gourd" to
grow UP in night.

there Is no time quite so favorable as

the work.
There Ia another task In connection
with strawberry growing that should
not be neglected at this time OF the
year: surplus runners should be re
moved. An unnecessary plant Is as
much out Of place In strawberry bee
az q weed.
All of this work and care calls fol

(By WIN. sTUART.)


The codling moth, which is by far
the worst apple pest, may be quite
effectively comhatted by thorough
spraying with some arsenical poison
just after the blossoms fall. Arsenate
OF lead used at the rate OF two pounds
to fifty gallons of water is giving bet
ter satisfaction than paris green be-
cause It adheres better and does not
injure the foliage.
The moths emerge early and the
female soon begins to lay Its eggs.
These are not as has been commonly
supposed upon the fruit, but largely
on the under side OF the leaves. Care
full studies have shown that about
Observation-Disclosures OF the eggs are
deposited upon the leaves, the balance
being upon the bark and fruit The
earliest deposited eggs hatch in about
ten days. While the later ones take
only about half as long. AS soon as
the larva matches It begins to MI
crate toward the fruit, and having
reached II usually enters at the point
OF least resistance, which In it's imma-
ture stage of development is through
the calyx opening. A knowledge of
the life history OF this pest enables
the orchardist to spray his trees In.
diligently. He knows that the weak
point Of resistance is in the calyx or
blow end OF the fruit. Here then Is
the point of attack. II he can fill the
calyx end OF each apple upon the tree
with poisonous spray, the most OF
the larvae will be destroyed before
they have an opportunity to gain ac-
cess to the interior structure OF the
apple. Hence he should spray within
the first week or ten days after the
blossoms fall or before the calyx
closes up and the apple begins to
point downward. The nozzle used
should throw the liquid with enough
force to drive the spray liquid into the
end Of each apple. One thorough
spraying at this time has been found
to give over 80 per cent. of worm free
apples. A second spraying three or
four weeks later is recommended. The
fret spraying for cooling moth can be
combined with the second for apple
scab, by adding the arsenicai poison
to the bordeaux mixture.
The curculio and apple maggot are
much more difficult pests to combat.
Frequent and thorough sprayings has
demonstrated the possibility OF very
largely controlling the injury caused
by the apple and plum curculio. Till
age and sunlight are two effective aids
In the suppression of the curcullo, as
is also the destruction OF all fallen
fruit.
There is no known remedy for the
apple maggot. Preventive measures
such as the destruction OF all fallen
fruit are the only means OF suppress
sion that can be employed. or course
good tillage and judicious pruning and
spraying materially aid in lessening
the injury to the fruit. Arsenical
poisons are not effective.

be, until the borer is encountered; In
this way much cutting and conse-
