Early spring is the time to get in
effective work against the aphis and
bark lice OF various kinds. These are
safely housed underneath the scales
to be found adhering to the bark of
fruit trees.
An effective way OF getting rid of
these is to wash the trunk and larger
branches with n strong solution of lye
or soapsuds. The application must be
made before the buds begin to swell,
or the trees will be injured by such
strong washes.
This is the time, too, to apply the
remedies for the scab of the apple and
curl leaf of the peach. Spray thor
oughly with copper sulphate while the
wood is dormant, using one pound OF
sulphate to 10 gallons of water for the
apple and one pound to 20 gallons for
the peach. 1t is absolutely necessary
that these applications be made be-
fore there is any swelling of the buds
In the case of the scab, subsequent
sprayings with the bordeaux will be
found necessary; the first to be APP

leaves and before the blossoms open,
the second after the blossoms fall.
Two or three more applications at
intervals of two or three weeks may
be necessary. Arsenites for leaf-eat-
ing insects and for the apple worm
may be applied with the Bordeaux.
Going at a fruit tree with saw and
AK. hammer-and-tong fashion, Ia de-
cldedly wrong. The removal of large
amount of top at any one time throws
the top and root system out of bal
ance Nature seeks to remedy this
condition by sending out numerous
water sprouts.
1t is better to remove small
amount of growth each season. The
tree will then be able to maintain an
even balance between its top and root
system. and large share of the en-
ergy that is wasted in the large limbs

II Is none the less true, also, that
yields from strawberry culture will
vary with the seasons in greater ex-
tremes than any OF the other small
fruits. II is not every variety OF
strawberry that is equally at home on
all soils and under every condition.
The variety that is best adapted to the
soil OF my farm may not be the best
variety for my neighbours farm. In
this respect the strawberry is a par
