MOSQUITO BITES

No one is especially fond of mos.
quito bites, or at least We have not
learned of such person. In fact, the
irritation from mosquito bites is
often intense. The pain may be re-
lieved by wetting the affected area
with diluted ammonia, the ordinary
household ammonia" answering the
purpose very we'll. But why the
continued annual torment Of mosqui-
toes? These pests do not fly from
their birth place which is some col
lection of stagnant water. This need
not be in a pond or swamp, in fact,
il is more often in rain barrels, open
cisterns, tin cans, broken crockery.
small pools, depressions in caves, or
any other place where a few "wrig-
glers" may exist for few days. 1t
is far more satisfactory to prevent
the mosquitoes from breeding around
the home than to be everlastingly
fighting mosquitoes and doctoring
their bites.
Fish, if kept in any small pond
about the premises, will keep them
free from mosquitoes. Tin cans and
other rubbish should be cleaned up,
wet, damp places drained rain bar
rels and cisterns covered, and pools
covered with a film of kerosene. A
very small quantity of kerosene is
to kill the mosquitoes.
Those interested in mosquitoes
and other insects should write to J.
E. McClintock, College of Agricul
ture, Columbus, and ask for extern
sion Bulletin Ten Common House

FRuIT TRREs DYING

This Is the season Of the year when
stone-fruit trees may begin to show
signs Of decline, II is not at all
uncommon for cherry peach, and
plum trees to blossom and TO come
out In leaf only TO begin TO wlther
and die. Death comes on very
quickly. and so the cause is apt to be
puzzling to the novice, Such symp-
toms are usually the signs Of winter
injury In some form. Not infre-
quently the bark will be found to
split and peal from the stem easily.
In other cases this symptom VIII not
be present In any event, there is,
of course. no remedy for such trees,
butin handling orchars in the future
one should see to Il that moisture
and plant food are not too availible,
In other words, trees should ripen
their growth thoroughly before cold
weather comes on. Nature can be
assisted in this process by restricting
the supply both OF plant food and
moisture The moisture supply can
be controlled to certain extent by
the use of non-leguminous cover
crops and the plant-food supply can
be somewhat controlled by the judi
cious use Of fertilizers and manures.
