GROW SOUND APPLES;

Destroy the Cooling Moth and Insure
Sound Fruit.
r. 3. SYMONS.

Maryland Agricultural College.
The Cooling Moth ID the insect
which makes your apples wormy and
UNFIT for storage. This pest can be 20
efficiently controlled that 1t is utter
folly for the fruit grower to fail to
take the precautions necessary to in
sure 30 per cent. sound fruit
The eggs OF the Cooling Moth are
laid On the tWigg early ia the spring.
Al soon as these hatch, the young
larvae crawl to the blossom clusters,
and enter the calyx end of the little
apple. Poison introduced into the
blossoms at this time will destroy most
OF these larvae before they have q
chance to tnjure the fruit This can
BE- done by spraying the trees with
the following mixture when tho petals
have nearly ell fallen:
Mixture No. /.
Concentrated Lime Sulphur, / gallon.
Water, 40 gallons
Arsenate of Lead, to pounds.
Mixture No. (BordoauK).
Copper Sulphate, pounds.
Lime (Burned), 8 pounds.
Water, DO gallons.
Arsenate of Lead, z to pounds.
Either mixture will do the work re-
CURED. Mixture No. z showing better
results with later sprayinga Thess
materials should be thoroughly mixed
and applied first as the petals fall and
again, ten days later, before tho calYx

By vetoing the Hammond Bill which
was passed by the Legislature setting
back the date for a general registra-
ton for two years, the Governor has
made it encumbent upon every man
in Maryland q years old to go to the
Registration Office this year and get
registered again. The vetoing OF this
Bill means that every voter in Carroll
county must get registered this year,
if he expects to vote at the election
next November. The task is a stu
pendous one and will cost the counties
a great deal.

HUMUS PUTS

We should DO planning for tina i'm.
proVement Of our poorer sofia and the
keeping Of our better fields In high
productive condition Nothing viii
help more In this improvement than
filing the soil with humu6 or organic
matter by tho us@ OF manure, turning
under green crops, or growing IN heavy
sod.
Let u see what this humus or
organic matter viii do Tor the NoiI.
Humus improves the physical condt
ton Of the soil 1t makes It Lehtsr
or puts what we call life into IL.
This makes it easier to work Eumus
acts like sponge In holding soil
water, storing great deal OK Ii and
letting the balance run or VERY slowly.
Humus also makes O. warmer BoIl since
soils containing Ii are darker fin color
and warmer Just as q dark suit OF
clothes is warmer to wear than a
lighter colored one.
This humus or organic matter also
furnishes food for tho soil bacteria.
These bacteria are what break up
plant food DO 1t can be used by the
crop They thrive best II GoiI1 having
plenty or this organic matter The
hard bare spots on which nothing will
grow that we sometimes nnd in fields
lack humus and bacterial life. The
decaying bacteria in the humus also
build up the nitrogen supply in the
soil.
Besides storing up plant foods, the
humus BY making this bacterial life
possible, causes soil acids To form
These In turn free the plant food
locked up in the soil SO that the crops
use 1t. Since humus Is so much need
ed in the soil, we are safe In saying
that before we can expect much of
crop Of any kind from unproductive
land, We must provide organic matter
either in the form OF stable manure Oh
green manure crops.
