cURRANT IS EASILY GROWN
Hellebore busted Over Bushes Is Sure
Remedy for Worms-Not Much
Care 10 Required. !,

Some of US remember the long rows
Of currant bushes which always bor-
dered grandmother's garden. Some Of
Of US, too, remember the delicious des-
serts of scarlet and white fruit, cooled
with dash Of spring water, and
served with sugar.
Rarely is the fruit offered now and
the following seems the most plausi-
BILE explanation:
The appearance of the currant worm
stripped the bushes of leaves and soon
destroyed their vitality. They became
an eyesore rather than a source Of de-
light and were destroyed.
While 1t has been known for years
that hellebore busted over the bushes
when wet with dew is sure remedy,
the next generation have failed to re-
new the currant vows, and, as re-
suit, the far-famed currant jelly, one
of the most delicious Of relishes, has
been almost forgotten.
The currant is easily grown, comes
into bearing speedily, and requires
less care than most Of the small fruit.
Cuttings should be made in Septem-
Der and October, and planted in rows.
These may have some slight protec-
ton during the winter, though 1t is
not absolutely necessary.
In the spring there will be as re.
suit q fine bed Of rooted cuttings,
which may be left for year undis-
turbed, or then transplanted to the

If paris green is used it should be at
the rate Of from six to eight ounces

spraying should be repeated in about
ten days. Where the second brood Of

tudes similar to northern Indiana, in

After years Of the most forcible OBJ

orchards and irregular yields and no
profits from unsprayed orchards, the
fact still remains that many owners Of

be doubted, on the other hand, that
many possessors Of orchards realize

expensive, The work is not complex
and, considering the results which fol

pays. Every owner Of fruit trees
