The grape leaf hopper is an I'M
portant pest of the grape and during
Che past two years II 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 pierre
ing the epidermis Of the under side or
ne leaf and sucking the cell sap, thus
mturing the cells and exposing them
% the drying action of the air. This
INJURY results in a decrease in the
amount OF wood. and II also AFFECTS
Che quantity and quality OF the fruit.
Fruit from badly infested vines is
poorly ipened.
The leaf hopper is sucking insect
and lives on the under sides or the
grape leaves Eggs are laid during
June by the Overwhelming 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.
tNymphs 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
rs October l. Most of these nymphs
become adults before the leaves drop
from the grape vine. The adults hi
tbernate 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
Wines
During the summer the adults are
OF a 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
70 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 suck.
ing insect, secures its food by insert
ting its proboscis or beak through the
epidermis or skin of the leaf, piercing
the underlying tissue and sucking up

GRANGE FAVORS SUFFRAGE

One OF the most distinct Grange vic.

recently been accomplished In Michi.

casion Of 1t all. The pronounced atti-
tude taken by the Grange on this mat.

the leaves become dotted with spots
until by September these areas are
so numerous as TO cause the leaves
TO have decidedly yellow appearance
when contrasted with healthy foliage.
II is not unusual to find 100 leaf
hopper nymphs on a single leaf IL
each insect should feed only twice
each day and remain on the leaf for a
period of two months we would find
that there had accumulated on the
leaf 10000 injured areas. This would
be a moderate damage; for counts
show that leaves of average size. If
badly infested may have as many as
10000 such injured areas.
Thus there are two factors in the
work of the leaf hopper; the removal
OF the cell sap by the leaf hoppers as
food and the destruction of tissue
by the drying out and death of the
cells surrounding those pierced by the
insects The latter is the more i'm.
portant factor The death of these
cells means a lessening Of the growth
of wood and a decrease in the yield
of fruit
To obtain efficient results against
the leaf hopper it is necessary to OBJ
serve certain rules.
The spraying must be done at the
proper time. This time will vary with
the season, but the spraying must be
done when the maximum number Of
nymphs are present, thus killing the
largest number Of insects, will usually
confine the number Of sprayings to
one. One must judge the time by

second ball game from the Alumni
team last Saturday afternoon on the
school grounds, before a large gather
ing of both alumni and students. The
score at the end of the ninth inning
stood III in favor of the school team.
The Alumni nine had strong line
up, but in spite of this, the home team
showed speed and great hitting ability,
capturing ten hits off Lota's delivery.
Lota showed lack of practice, although
he steadied down after the sixth, but
all the damage had been done before
that time.
The score stood liz up to- the
eighth inning, but in that frame the
