TREE INSECTS ARE NUMEROUS
Over 10000 Species on Record of
Which Over 400 Are Known to
Affect the Apple Tree.
By e. M. PATCH.)

VI. H.
There are very many different spe-
cies Of insects ranging In size from
less than one-fiftieth of an inch to
about eight inches in length. From
the United States alone over 10000
species have been recorded of which
over 400 are known to affect in greater
or less degree the apple tree or its
fruit. Though there are many that
are, it must not be supposed that all
insects are injurious, for by far the
larger number are either harmless or
actually beneficial. Ruthless destruc-
ton of insects by means of trap Ian
terms and the like is to be deprecated
since these methods are as apt to
capture the beneficial and the harm
less as the injurious. Poisons, traps,
and other repressive measures must
be used with caution, and at the right
time and place in order to be most
effective
Before it is possible to combat an
insect pest intelligently we must learn
something of it's habits and of its

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture).
The alfalfa-seed destroyer, known as
the chalcis-fiy, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according to the
United States department of agricul-
lures specialist who has personally
seen the widespread devastation of
this pest. BY harvesting severely in
tested crops, by cleaning fence lines
and ditch banks, and by winter Guilt
walton the grower of alfalfa seed may
help to control this insect. A new
Farmers Bulletin, (No. 6S6) entitled
1.-THE Chalcis-Fly in Alfalfa Seed"
gives the details of these methods
of control, and may be had free of
charge on application to the depart
ment.
The chalcis-fy under the microscope
is a formidable-looking insect but
when seen in the field it is frequently
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over alfalfa-seed shocks and swarm
| ing over the sickle bar when the al
falfa is being cut. The eggs are so
small as to be invisible to the naked
eye and are deposited through the
soft, green seed pods directly into
the soft seeds when the pods are about
half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats its. way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, then through the green pods.
Large portions of the seeds are hol-
lowed out in this manner, when they
are still green and growing.
The infected seeds which still con
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color Some of the infested seeds
however, retain their natural color
but they always lack the glossy ap
pearance of normal seeds. The ex
tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent
owing to the minuteness of the insect
and because its destructive work IL
accomplished within the growing
seeds. The alfalfa-seed grower car
only estimate the percentage of hil
crop destroyed by opening a large
number of the seed pods and observ
ing the infested seeds.
Harvesting Infested Crops
An alfalfa field is frequently fount
with such a severe infestation b,
chalcis-fies that the grower considers
1t of insufficient value to be harvested
and simply drives in a herd of cow
to pasture the crop. With regard tt
the control Of the chalcis-fiy for tn,
protection of future seed production
this Is a costly mistake. Obervationi
show that many of the pods burs
open, while others are trampled Il

infested seeds offer favorable condi

If you are beginner in the poultry
business, you must not expect to sell
your breeding birds for what you gave
for them.
The man you bought from, his repu-
tation, the prizes he has won, the ad-
vertising he does, must. count against
you until you have won out as he has
won.
If you have paid $40 for your breed

enough for the beginner to ask. II

cis-fiy larvae. These, as mature flies,
will infest the seed crops the follow
ing spring. Under such circumstances
the crop should be moved, removed
from the field, and staked. 1t may
then be used as rough fodder; and
If the remaining straw is burned in
early spring the alternating larvae
will be destroyed.
Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch Banks.
The following facts emphasize the
importance of cutting the alfalfa along
ditch banks and fence lines, as well
as in the fields:
1. The earliest seed pods are found
to develop on the isolated and yigor-
Gus growing plants found in such
places.
| 2. The earliest pods have an espec-
tally large percentage of the seeds
infested with chalcis-fiy larvae.
| 8. The chalcis-fly larvae are able
to pass completely through the first
generation in the earliest pods before
the regular seed fields are sufficiently
advanced for oviposition.
This cutting should be done with
the harvesting of each hay crop, be-
fore the seed crop is grown.
It is sometimes necessary to have
two or more irrigation bitches run
ming parallel, making 1t impracticable
to cut the alfalfa between them. In
such cases it is economy to fence
the bitches and use this land as a
small summer pasture, thus prevent
ing the development of alfalfa seed
pods and the chalcis-flies.
/ Winter Cultivation.
In the process of harvesting the
seed crop many pods containing In
tested seeds fan to the ground. Here
they remain until the following spring
when the alternating insects emerge,
although cultivation with an alfalfa
cultivator, at some time late in the
fall or in early winter, will sufficiently
cover such pods and will prevent the
emergence of most of the adults when
the warm weather arrives.
Destroying the Screenings.
After the alfalfa Is thrashed the
great mass of screenings which is left
frequently contains large numbers Of
seeds infested with alternating larvae.
If the chaff, together with the screen
ings, is placed in compost pile for
three or four months, SO that it will
become heated and decay. most of the
insect life will be destroyed. Unless
it is possible to treat the screenings
In this manner they should be burned
before the growing season opens in
the spring.
J Many of the alfalfa seed pods
along check ridges and fence lines
may be destroyed by burning off the
weeds and alfalfa. This should be
done either in the fall or early spring.
In purchasing alfalfa seed, farmers
should insist upon having seed which

Easy to Make GOOD Rutt.r

The buttermaker should realize
that it is just as easy to make good
butter as 1t is to make poor butter.
The main secret is to keep the milk
utensils clean. Use only good salt.
This is an exceedingly important mat
ter. A good way to test 1t is to dis
solve some In hot water. If the salt
has bad favor it will be easily de-
tected. Sometimes a sediment will be

THE DEADLY TREATING
HABIT

All of the belligerent nations have re-
cognized in one way or another the fact
that the general use of alcoholic drinks
sensibly reduces their fighting power.
The most impressive thing any of them
have done was Russia S autocratic ban
on vodka. But Germany restricted the
production of beer, and France forbade
absinthe entirely.
England debated, but could not bring
herself to enforce extinction of the
liquor traffic. But the sending of liquor
to soldiers was forbidden, and public
sentiment condemned excessive drink
ing everywhere.
This, however, was not enough, and
the British Government has now, under
the broad powers granted it by Parlia-
ment, struck blow at the custom of
treating and the evils it engenders.
Throughout many large areas, including
London, it is now illegal to buy drink
for another.
Though the considerations that have
led to this action are not stated, they
may readily be inferred by Americans,
who know of the waste and the drunk
enness that are the chief products of
the treating habit. The American
custom of buying round after round of
undesired drinks, when a group of
friends, or even mere acquaintance,
happens to gather in front of bar.
grew out of hospitable and good-fellow
ship impulses. But its results have
been devastating. The larger the
group, the surer are the resultant
excuses of drunkenness.
The custom has been more popular in
England than on the continent, though
not without its practitioners every
where. The tendency of German cafe
life has been against it, despite the
beer tights of university students
and other social groups.
So the British authorities have deter
mined to stop as far as possible the
waste and the social degeneration that
springs from the treating habit. 1t is
. move that should arrest attention
here. Beyond question. the abolition
of treating in this country would at
one stroke do away with large share
of the drunkenness and its long train OF
attendant evils.
But customs are difficult, if not i'm
possible, to eradicate by law--except in
the presence of great and critical war
where autocracy is strengthened by the
emergency, or democracy is fain to
surrender its privileges. Minneapolis

BENEFITS FROM GOOD ROADS
Adjoining-correct Principles
Being Followed.

Slowly but sturdy farmers are
everywhere coming to the realization
that good roads increaoe the value OF
every acre adjoining or in proximity ia
them. and that the best OF land win
be hard to sell ii 1t can be reached
only through heavy, muddy roads the
greater portion of the year. In SO far
as our section northern Indiana) Ia
concerned, the progress in making
good roads has been quite marked
during the last five years, says
writer In Farmers Review. AS soon
as 1t was announced that the Lincoln
highway would have it's course through
our section, the value of farms lying
along and near this course increased
to quite degree, in some instances
az much as rs per cent.
1t is really astonishing how foolishly
the methods of road making were for
merly carried on. Farmers had fallen
into habit of working on the roads
in a very different way from what they
worked on their own farms. 1t often
locked as IL some feared they might
do more work than their neighbors--
hence they were determined to do less,
Sometimes, In fact nearly always, the
most incompetent man In the district
was chosen supervisor, and he often

the farmers to do enough work to en-,

commissioners.
Another matter quite noticeable In
those days was that in making roads,
all principles OF good road making
were as rule violated No effort was

simply thrown UP little higher than
the roadsides so that when the heavy

selves despised the roads heartily.
AS to materials for road making, IL
was the almost universal rule to take
that most convenient. IL it happened
to be good gravel, well and good, but
IL, as In a large majority of cases, it
happened to be sand. 1t was used just
the same.
But in these days such roads VIII

northern Indiana any number of good
