The Canker Worm

The Canker worm, more com
,monlv known as the measur.
ing worm. is quite abundant in
many parts of the state. 1t
matches from eggs that were
laid upon twigs last fall. These
eggs were laid in clusters of
thirty or forty, and are easily
seen with the naked eye. The
eggs hatch into very minute
caterpillars, from a vellowish
green to greenish brown in
color. They eventually grow
to a length of about an inch
and half They were very
numerous all over the western
part of the state last year: in
some instances defoliating all
of the trees over large areas.
1t will be recalled that these
insects appeared in great mum
bers about twelve years ago, in
Fargo, at which time many
shade trees and forest trees
along the river were killed,
The remedy for these insects
at this time of the year is either
Paris Green or Arsenate of
Lead. Paris Green is applied
at the rate of one half pound to
fifty gallons of water. and Ar
senate of Lead, when used in
the powdered form at about the
same strength. When used in
the paste form, in which it
sometimes comes, about two
or three pounds should be'us-
ed to fifty gallons of water. 1t
is important to get these pois-
Ons upon the trees as soon as
possible after the insects hatch.
Very little is accomplished if
one waits until the leaves are
nearly eaten off.
The canker worm is the lar
val form of a moth. the female
of which is wingless. On that
account che has to climb up
the trees in order to lay her
eggs. For this reason, a me-
chanical obstruction of some
kind placed about the trunk of
the trees in the fall will pre-
vent egg laying upon the
twigs. This obstruction may
consist of a tar paper collar
tackled around the body of the
tree in such manner that it
flares outward. Or it may con-
sist of some sticky substance
applied to a band of paper
which is tackled directly around
the body of the tree. One of
the substances used for this
purpose is Dendrolene.
There is no object in apply
ing the bands until about the
first of September. If trees
are infested with the canker
worm, one should not wait for
this remedy but should apply
the poison at once.-C. B.

These Foods Not Used Enough.

There is small reason to doubt that
the proper development of tree crops
would greatly enrich and cheaper the
food supply of the American people
and their domestic animals. The chief
trouble seems to be that we have not
thought about it. Most Of the crop
trees of value of Europe have been in
troduced into this country, such as the
olive. fig, date. the acorn and cork oak,
the walnut, pistache and almond. Our
native trees, such as the pecan. shag-
bark. mulberry. honey locust, mesquite
and persimmon, offer great promise If
properly selected, propagated. improv-
ed by plant breeding and tested by ex-
pertinent. All this requires scientific
work Now that we have spent quar-
ter of century developing the equip.
ment for the promotion of agricultural
science the time has probably come
when attention can be turned in part
from the herb of the field to the more
productive tree that has long made the
oriental garden so productive. Rus

EarIv Use of Tin.

The tin used in the composition of
bronzes from Assyria was probably
obtained from Phoenicia, and it is be-
lieved that this was exported 5000
years ago from the British isles.
The Assyrians appear to have made
an extensive use of this metal, and
the degree of perfection which the
making of bronze had then reached
clearly shows that they must have
been long experienced in the use OF it.
They appear to have received what
they used from the Phoenicians. Some
think the Celtic tribes were acquaint-
ed with this metal previously to the
arrival of the Phoenicians upon those
shores.
1t is said that the Phoenicians were
indebted to the Tyrian Hercules for
their trade in in.-Philadelphia In
