THE TOMATO FRUIT WORM
 By Geo. c. Becker, Entomologist.

The worm which bores into the young tomato fruits is the same in- sect as the corn ear worm and the cotton boil worm.
 On the tomato the eggs are laid on the leaves. The eggs hatch and the young Larvae or worms feed first upon the leaves and later on the stem. Finally when the young tomatoes be- gin to set they begin to attack them. Unfortunately they do not always eat up every tomato which they attack.
 Preventive Measures: When there are plenty of fruits the larvae spends most of it's life in them and out of the reach of poison. The use of Paris Green, arsenate of lead and other poisons cannot therefore be relied up- on to control the pest. Early in the season however, when the worm is feeding upon the leaves it can be poisoned with success. Arsenate of lead used at the rate of 2h lbs. to 30 gallons of water, or if it is necess- ary to spray for plant diseases the same amount may be used in the bor- deaux mixture. In place of arsen- ate of lead one may use Paris Green at the rate of about 1-3 lb. to 50 gal Ions of water. When using Paris Green an equal amount of lime should be slacked and added to the solution before spraying on the plants. Ar senate of lead powder or Paris Green may be dusted on the plants instead of spraying but this is not as satis- factory as spraying. Paris Green should be diluted with equal parts of cheap flour or air slacked lime before being dusted on.
 Although poisoning may help in the control of this insect it cannot be depended upon for reasons pre- viously indicatIl. The fondness of this insect for corn enables us to use corn as a trap crop. To every five rows of tomatoes plant two rows of sweet corn. The corn should be plant ed at such time that is will come .in- to silk at the time when the young to- matoes become attractive to the worms. If the corn is attacked by the worms when it Is only knee high it can be dusted with arsenate of lead. When the corn is at this height it is often attacked by this insect at which

"a lady friend of mine Is very envi. ous of this little ring of mine, and she has asked me to find out how much a duplicate would cost"

 Ernest was home, and Ernest would see him. Ernest saw him and would have embraced him, but this Is not French novel.
 Edgar came to the touching part of his story easily and soon. He needed but temporary loan to tide him over Two hundred dollars and he would be on his feet in a week
 Ernest wrote check and laid it in Edgar's trembling hand.
 Five hundred," gasped Walling. -Oh, this Is too good of you"
 An old pal" said Ernest.
 Walling murmuring, hurried to the elevator and soon was in the street. Then he groaned. It was 20 minutes of 12 by the clock in the corner drug store-and Saturday. The bank, five or six miles away would close at noon. He had no nickel.
 And then. miraculously. a nickel came along It was in the hand of Aggie Hobitzel, the little daughter of the janitor. Walling grabbed the nickel and ran for the subway only mite faster than Abel Kiviat could have run. To do him credit, he had never, In all his life, expected to rob a janitors child.
 The subway train went fast and true to Wall street Walling, out of breath, soon dashed into the Tararum bank and to the window of its polite and efficient paying teller. The teller scanned the check. Then he reached aside, plucked a rubber stamp which he properly linked and imprinted upon the check. He slid the check back to Walling The imprint read
 Payment stopped!"
 The interesting part of the story is that Rupert Hoblitzel, the obliging janitor of the Woofton, gave his little daughter Aggie a near-garnet ring the night before. completely reconcil- ing her to the loss of the nickel. T got 1t off Mrs. Golanthan up on the ninth floor yet" he told his wife
