BY ROBERT MANSFIELD.

When Sheriff Jameson
came onto the new job at
the county Jail yesterday
he found among the pris-
oners a young man whom
he remembered having seen
before.
This fellow-citizen was a
young man whom he had
seen at the theater occa-
sionally, once in a while at
some fashionable function,
or at those places where
the prosperous business and
professional men frequent
ly meet each other.
A glance at the record

of the young mamie was

to orchards and to shade trees and or
namental shrubs in cities, parks and
cemeteries have occasioned q great
deal Of loss In the past three or four
years.
The bagworm Is easy to control, at
least upon trees of moderate size.
There are two methods of destroying
the pest, by collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. II the
bagworm Is restricted to only few
trees, one can easily collect all OF the
bags In the winter when the leaves
are OF. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective. II care

on evergreens and. Of course, Is out
OF the question In very large orchards
or groves. In such cases 1t is neces-
sary to spray when the young cater
pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
in the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest Is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The
first regular application of poison for
the cooling moth, just after the bios
SONS fall In the spring, will also con-
troll the bagworm In orchards. One
careful application of poison before
the first Of June will usually control
the pest either upon fruit, evergreen
or shade trees.

Potatoes intended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter and this can be done only by
keeping them 90 cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part OF the starch that Is stored up in
them and manufacture 1t into living
cells. This energy is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled on.
Some farmers make It a point to
"sprout" their potatoes once or twice
during the winter. this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
OF energy thus lost Is considerable,
and the loss increases as the winter
draws to a close.
