shouId be set one and half or TWO
feet apart, spreading the roots out hor'
izontally and they should be covered
with but two or three inches OF hne
soil at first. AS the new shoots grow
the burrows should be gradually hlled
with soil until by midsummer the held
is practically level.
The edible parts Of the asparagus
plant are the young shoots, several OF
which are sent up from each crown.
These are cut when they reach the de-
sired height, which depends upon
whether white or green shoots are de-
sired. If the former, 1t becomes acc
essary to ridge the rows, the shoots
being cut below the surface with a
knife made especially for the purpose;
II the latter, the shoots are broken or
cut at the surface Of the ground. Only
eight cuttings shoulC be made the Sec
ond season from planting. The third
cutting season may last for three or
four weeks, and thereafter eight to
ten weeks each year
After cutting ceases, the bed should
be gone over in both directions lightly
with the harrow. About ten tons OF
stable manure should be broadcasted
between the rows or liberal applica-
ton of a $50 commercial fertilizer
given instead. Cultivation should be
given until the tops cover the ground
and prevent further growth of weeds.
The most serious disease affecting
the asparagus Is the rust. One of the
most practical means Of controlling
this is to cut and burn the tops as soon
as the berries have turned red. The
asparagus beetle causes considerable
injury at times by eating the young
shoots and the tops Of the plants.
Cutting and burning the tops and all
other trash on the field In the fall de-
stroys the alternating places Of the
insects and helps In their control.
busting air slaked lime on the young
shoots while the dew is on them, also
aids in their control.

What camper has not wished, upon
leaving camp for the day, with the
meat, beans, and other slow cooking
camp foods just coming to a boil,

similar to one holding two five-gallon
cans of oil. made stout with extra

MAKING BERRY JUICE.

The following simple and effective
way of bottling berry juices was en-
ployed by Prof. G. 1. Lewis in the
laboratory of the Oregon Agricultural
College, and is a sure way of saving
loganberries at a good profit: Heat
the berries to as nearly the boiling
point as possible and strain out the
juice. Mix juice with oDe-third its
measure of sugar, heat as before,
pour into sterilized soft drink bottles,
shove the cork about two inches with
in the neck of the bottle and pour
melted paratfine onto the top. This
process preserves the fiavors and

its measurement of water it IS a de-
licious drink.

line it with packed excelsior covered
with cloth. Or pillow or cushion
may be used under the lid, which is
made as nearly air tight as possible.
The top padding should be thick
enough to make it difficult to close
the lid, which is held down by hasp
and hinges, or leather hinges with

cool and will not mix with water
readily. Usually however, the paste
is used as it is prepared, and over
cooking is not disadvantage.
"When mixed in the spray tank
-four paste has tendency to settle,
and in order to do satisfactory work
agitation is necessary. This is but a
slight disadvantage, and is necessary
with most materials.
''Flour paste appear to be a very
effective reader for lime-sulphur and
nicotine-sulphate sprays. Cheap flour
can be purchased for less than half
the cost of whale-oil soap. 1t is al
ways obtainable, and having no odor
it is less offensive to use than whale
oil and tish-oil soaps. When used
alone at the rate of gallons e pounds
four) to 100 gallons of water it is
effective against several leaf feeding
mites and some very delicate aphides.
The possibility of its use as spreader
for nme-sulphur sprays for scale in
scots and fungi, and as 'sticker"
for arsenicals has not yet been work
ed out, but from observations during
the past four months 1T is believed
that it may have some value along
these lines"
THE CHERRY AND PEAR SLUG.
This common orchard and nursery
pest is again making its appearance
on our fruit trees and many questions
have lately come to me regarding it.
The insect passes the winter in the
pupa state under the ground, appear
ing in spring as glossy black, four
winged fly about one fifth of an inch
long. The female fly lays her eggs
early in June under the epidermis or
outer layer of the leaf. The eggs
are oval, almost colorless, and at
tached on one side. The newly
Matched slug is at first white in color
and shaped great deal like tad
pole. Later it becomes Shiny with an
olive colored coating which has a
sickening odor. 1t begins to feed on
the foliage soon after it is Matched,
leaving only the veining of the leave
and leaf stems on badly infested
tree. After changing it's skin several
times the slug appears free from slime
and of a yellowish color. 1t then soon
leaves the tree and buries itself in
the ground, where it builds an earthen
cell and changes to chrysalis, ap-
pearing in couple of weeks as fly.
Late in July the fly lays her eggs and
in August the second brood appears.
The slug Is not hard to kill, but if
neglected can do great deal of dam
age to the foliage. A spray OF arse

sprays we're suggested, one OF which
was taken from the monthly bulletin
VOL II, Nos. 1 and 2, of the State
Commission of Horticulture of Cali
fornia. This formula contained water
200 gallons, flour paste eight pounds
flour in eight gallons of water), sub
lined sulphur 10 pounds, lime sulphur
solution two and one-half gallons.
Last month Mr.. w. B. Parker, an
entomologist in the employ of the De-
partment of Agriculture, visited
several of our berry fields, some of
which had been injured by the red
spider. Mr.. Parker has been working
with the red spider of hops in Cali
fornia and has recently published
Bulletin No. 1T and Circular No. 166
on his work with that mite. While
here he suggested that our growers
try some of the formulas similar to
those used in his work with hops.
These formulas include the -four
paste alone "a pounds to 100 gallons of
water), and -four paste in combina-
tion with either lime sulphur solution
Il part to 125 parts water) or "Black-
leaf 40" Il part to 1900 or 1000 parts
water). In combination with the
lime sulphur or "Blackleaf 40" sprays
the -four paste is used more dilute
than when used alone.
The -four paste alone proved very
efficient and cheap in Mr.. Parker's
California work. It pasted the ma
ture mites to the leaves and later
peeled off, carrying the dead mites to
the ground. Eggs of the red spider
we're not killed, but later spraying
seven to ten days after the first, kill
ed the mites that Matched in the
meantime. Circular No. 166 UNITED

lowing advice in the preparation of
flour paste:
