from destruction by insects--an &C
complishment quite within our power.
Among the many insects damaging
the apple crop there are two which
stand out prominently as the most
destructive. These are the curculio,
The old offender commonly known as
the plum curculio, and the we'll
known codling moth. The damage
done to apples alone in the state of
Missouri by these two insects in
year when an average crop is borne
runs into millions of dollars.
In controlling these and other in
sects, apple growers should apply
their arsenical sprays at times when
they will be of the greatest possible
service. There is a limit to the mum
Der of sprays which can be probably
applied, especially since in many cases
it is also necessary to give separate
spraying fungicides at times when
an insecticide is required, or vice
versa
Spraying is the chief method of
control of curculio and codling moth
in apple orchards, but there are a
number of other natural or artificial
checks against both insects which de-
serve mention.
Banding of the trees to capture the
descending worms OF codling moths
as they search for a place for pupa-
ton was a practice even before
IN ooth haf
1t has been shown that they will
sometimes capture as high as 40 per
cent of the worms upon the tree, but
1t cannot be considered a practical op-
Grafton when such far better results
can be accomplished by spraying.
When bands are used they must be
looked after every ten days and the
worms destroyed. to prevent the
moth from maturing and making its
escape II this is not done they will
only offer safer hiding places and do
more harm than good. They are
sometimes useful in trapping the first
emerging worms in the summer in or
der to forecast the date of appear
ance OF second generation worms.
Cultivation of orchards IS one OF the
best of procedures for curculio de-
struction. It keeps the orchard free
from many of the desirable hiberna-
tion places for the adult, and 1t I'M
questionably destroys high per cent
Of the insects in the ground
There are many useful natural in
sect parasites and other enemies OF
both curculio and codling moth which

stages and assist very materially in

of Persons 20 Carry Out Plans
of Spraying.
CBy p. P. TAYIOR)

There are comparatively few or
chardists at the present time who
doubt the value of spraying apples
for the curculio and the cooling
moth. On the other hand, there are
many who are, in reality, not protect
ing their orchards from these two car

Bile or, indeed, practicable,
1t is unnecessary to go into de-
tail in explaining all the reasons why
fruit. stung from the cooling moth
or stung and deformed by the curculio,
is permitted. Suffice to say that in
many cases there is no reasonable ex-
cuse, except the failure OF persons to
carry out plans of spraying which are
already we'll known to be effective
There is a strong tendency, how
ever noted recently among many
fruit growers to do more careful and
intelligent spraying so that higher
percentage of first-class apples may
be produced. A few years OF par
tial fruit failures from adverse and
uncomfortable weather conditions
makes it even more necessary that in
the other years we save our crops

ENTIRELY A STATE OF MIND
So Just Feel Sure You Have the So
eret of Longevity and the Years
Are Yours.

Centenarians all know why they
have been blessed with long years. It
is because they never drank. or be-
cause they did drink: because they
never smoked. swore, quarreled, wor-
ried, sat up late of nights. or because
they did all these things. yet counter
acted the evil effects with diets OF
milk. mush. cornbread or an apple a
day Neighbors and relatives and doc
tors may wonder why tho tooth Of
time has proved incapable But the
subjects Of their wonder have never
any doubts They know exactly why
they and death keep apart
An intimate study of the character
OF centenarians might reveal the true
formula for long life These tenacious
old folk all have one thing in COM
mon, and that is perfect confidence
They are never troubled with misgiv-
ings, never afflicted with self-ques-
tioning. If a person is absolutely GER
tain that he is going to defeat time.
perhaps that is as effectual as it is
with the man who is absolutely GER
tain that he is going to defeat a case
OF typhoid. Confidence may be a
good anodyne for sleeplessness. a
worthy aid to digestion. a protector
against accident
The records indicate that It does
not matter so greatly that the can
didate for a hundred be abstemious
or moderately indulgent. careful with
his food or reckless, as that he feel
sure that he has the secret of lon
gevity. So It would seem, the first
duty OF aspirants is to cultivate a
dogmatic set of opinions.-Toledo
