CBy h. r. SMITH.

This insect derives its name from its
intense black color and smooth,
shining appearance. A great deal Of
the injury done by this insect is not
recognized by the grower, who may
charge it TO 'yellows, to applications
made during the winter for other
purposes, or to climatic causes. Where
the insects are numerous on the roots
the tree simply looks sick. The
foliage is thin, imperfectly developed
and light in color. The lice are es-
pecially destructive TO nursery trees
and to orchards just planted or in the
second year.
Nursery trees, especially on light
land, are often infested. If such trees
are set ont without treatment, the in
sects may multiply without causing
much or any perceptible injury the

HANDLING OF ORCHARD SOILS
Combination Of Clean Cultivation With
Cover Crops Is Best Scheme,
Says Ohio Expert.

BY PROF. WENDELL. PADDOCK, ONO
College of Agriculture)
Probably the best scheme ever de
vised for handling the majority of or
chard soils, where the lay Of the land
will permit, is combination Of clean
cultivation with cover crops. This
Raethod includes the blowing of the
land as early in the season as the
weather will permit, The pillow is fol-
lowed, at intervals, by the harrow, in
order that the surface of the soil may
be kept mellow throughout the grow
ing season. Usually in the latter part
OF July or the first of August, at the
close of the growing season for trees,
a crop Of some kind 10 planted and
this is allowed TO occupy the land
until the next spring The land is
plowed again as early as possible. and
this is followed by clean cultivation

All peach trees should be carefully
fumigated by the nurseryman as d
matter of precaution and, il properly
done, this is entirely safe.
Where the trees have not been so
treated they should be very carefully
inspected before setting, and if any
signs Of plant lice are noted, the roots
should be washed so as to free
them of most of the dirt and then
dipped in strong tobacco detection.
The dipping should be thorough and
should be done just before setting.
