of spring as an old tree would be.
A spring planted tree, on the other
hand meets more or less opposite
conditions. The air is warm, the
buds burst open and the tree is soon
in full leaf. The ground is yet cold,
the roots have not calloused or sent
out root hairs. The roots are not yet
functioning, they are not drawing in
water and plant food The tree, how
ever, is in full leaf and is evaporating
moisture and using up plant food
every minute. Where is this food
and water coming from? The roots
are supplying as yet but a small por-
ton 1t is coming from the stored up
vitality in the tree. The tree is, in
fact, living upon itself. consuming its
own tissues. Do not Jump at the con-
clusion now that you will always set

winter, would greatly endanger the

FALL PLANTING OF FRUIT TREES
HAS ADVANTAGE OVER SPRING

the order well in advance, for first
come are first served. Many nursery
men have poor facilities for storing
their trees over winter, consequently
the trees come through in a dry and
shriveled condition. For this rea-
son it is often better to order in the
fall, even though you are going to
plant in the spring, as the trees will
keep turgid and fresh If properly
heeled in. For heeling in, we select
a suitable location, a well drained
spot, and dig trench east and west,
throwing the dirt to the north of
the trench, making sloping surface
upon which to lay the trees. Unpack
the trees and cut the bundles, and
lay each tree down firmly against
the ground with the roots in the
trench and the top lying to the north.
Another trench Is now dug to the
south of the one already made and
the dirt from it is used to cover, the
trees. This process may be repeated
until several layers of trees have
been laid in. The mound can then be
covered with straw and a trench
with an outlet dug entirely around 1t.
The two systems of planting in
general use today are the square
system and the triangular or hex
agonal system. Either may be ac-
companied by filters. In the square
plan the trees are set at the four

ing in contact with their bodies. For
this reason ordinary poisons are of
no value whatsoever. The solution
most effective in the control of this
pest is a preparation, containing a
quantity of nicotine. writes w. l..
Howard.
Some farmers prepare their own
solution at home by boiling one pound
of tobacco stems to two gallons of
water. This makes a fairly strong
solution and is quite effective. buf
there are a number of commercial
brands of nicotine preparations which
are so prepared that they contain a
very large quantity of soluble nico-
tine, and If one uses one of these he
can dilute with a great quantity of
water and secure much better results.
Fortunately, with the nicotine So
lutions the nicotine evaporates from
the solution and acts as a fumigating
agent or gas. This penetrates in
among the leaves and into the curled
plant lice.

Wonderful progress has been made
in planting apple trees since the time
of Timothy Jonathan and the early
pioneers who sowed seeds, brought
from the old home orchard, around
the dooryard of their new homes. In
these early times the trees were not
transplanted but allowed to grow
where they sprang up from the seed.
And years later when the tree be-
gan to bear fruit, if the fruit was of
good size and quality, the family re-
joiced. Today we have large nursery
concerns who make 1T their business
to propagate large numbers of the
different varieties. 1t becomes quite
important nowadays to know how to
handle the trees when they come from
the nurseryman.
Under suitable conditions fall plant
led trees will gain nearly a seasons
growth over spring planted trees.
THE reason for this is simple. We
have a condition in which the soil is
very much warmer than the air. The
roots at once callous over and root
hairs start to push out. The young
tree, in fact, is as ready to start Wig
lorous growth in the first warm days

WATCH FOR THE
TUSSOCK MOTH
Egg Masses of Caterpillar Pest
May Be Destroyed After the
Leaves Fall.
DAMAGES SHADE TREES

The caterpillar of the tussock moth,
which is noticeable because of three
long black tufts of hair protruding
from its yellow body, has done con-
siderable damage to many shade
trees in the vicinity of Washington
during the summer and fall. This In
sect, which extends through the east
ern United States. as far west as
Iowa, seems to prefer poplars, naples,
elms, aldersL birches and willows.
Besides injuring trees, it's barbed
hairs occasionally produce consider
able irritation on the skin of people
upon whom the caterpillars drop. To
control the ravages of this pest the
coming season the conspicuous white
egg masses laid by the moth should
be destroyed after the leaves have
fallen, when they may be very easily
noticed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture's entomologist considers
the above method preferable to that
of bending the trees after the egg
masses have already been laid. Dur
ing the past season a number of trees
in the city of Washington have been
Bonded to prevent the moths from
climbing up their trunks when there
were already egg masses above the
bands which Matched out caterpil-
lars. These caterpillars were pre-
vented from coming out of the trees
as much as others were prevented
from coming into them. OF course. II
the owner of a tree is sure that it is
absolutely free from egg masses
(Which are always conspicuous and
usually are found low down on the
trunk he may use a band to advan-
tage to keep out intruders. For this
purpose insect lime, of which there

WOOD ASHES FOR FERTILIZER
i. IF WAR KEEPS OUT POTASH

and other softwoods (conifers,
Ashes from oak, elm, maple and
hickory have more potash than those
from pine. The ashes of twigs Gag
gots, for example), are worth more
for agricultural purposes than the
ashes of hardwood taken from the
middle of an old tree. In general,
the smaller and younger the wood
burned the better ashes. The ashes
of coal do not contain enough pot
ash to make them valuable in this
connection,
Ordinary house ashes contain on
the average about eight or nine per
cent. of potash and two per cent. of
phosphorus acid. Investigators have
considered that there is enough pot
ash and phosphoric acid in a bushel
of ashes to make It worth twenty or
twenty-five cents Besides that,
some ten or fifteen cents additional
might be allowed for tho "alkali
power" OF the ashes This power is
that which enables ashes to rot
weeds and to ferment peat OF
course, prices vary with local condi-
tons.
If wood ashes are purchased the
farmer should assure himself that
they have neither been contaminated
with coal ashes nor adulterated with
leached ashes. These facts deter
mined that the place of burning has
no effect on the value of the ashes as
fertilizer. They are equally satisfac-
tory whether taken from a stove, a
fireplace or a bonfire.
Potash in the Ashes OF Cotton Seed HuIIs
The hulls of cotton seed, according
to specialists, yield ashes which con-
tain from eighteen to thirty per cent
Of potash and from five to ten per
cent. of phosphoric acid. Cotton
hull ashes, therefore, as fertilizer
are much more concentrated than or
binary wood ashes. AS a matter OF
fact, in the opinion of some investi-
gators, the ashes from cotton seed
bulls contain such a large proportion
of potash that they might do con-
siderable harm to crops if they were
used in large quantities.
These ashes have been used with
advantage for manuring tobacco
They have in times past brought as
much as $35 or $40 ton in New Eng
land. One objection to the use oil

uniformity is due to the fact thai
they are burned as fuel at the oil
factories in conjunction with wood
