FALL CARE OF ORCHARDS IS
 MEANS OF ELIMINATING PESTS
 OF SCALES AND MANY INSECTS
Spraying Other Operations Are Invaluable in Pre- venting Harmful Effects of Scourges Common to Fruit Trees-Detailed Instructions of Especial In terest to Those Engaged in Husbandry.

Valuable work in the control of or chard insect pests may be accomplish ed during the fall, winter, and early springsACertain destructive insects are held in check only by spraying dur ing the dormant period of trees when stronger washes may be used than
 when the trees are in foliage. Many in- sects spend the winter on the trees in the egg, larval, or pupal stage, and their destruction in the course of pruning or other orchard work is practically and is of much importance in keeping them reduced.
 Spraying Dormant Trees for Scale In- sects and Plant Lice.
 Orchard scale insects as class are best treated after the foliage has dropped from the trees This work
 may be done in late fall, during the winter when the temperature is above freezing, or in the spring before the buds spring. to any extent, Spraying of apple, peach, pear and other trees tor the San Jose scale with strong Hnne-sulphur. or other suitable wash is nov. very generally practtced by prchardists, and many persons owning but a small number of small fruit trees in the yard and also, regularly. spraying the tree for the control of this Serious insect pest. Iime-sul- phur concentrate is used in spraying
 
 chased of manufacturers or may be made at home The commercial ar ticIe usually has a, density of <32 to 34 as regerstered on a Baume hydro meter and in preparing the concen- trate at home efforts should be made to get a wash about this density. Such a concentrate is used at the rate of one part to 8 or g parts of water. Only one treatment each winter is necessary to hold these pests in subjection, but the application must be very thorough, coa-ing all parts of the tWigs, limbs and branches. This work requires a spray pump, and these may be obtain edfor work at almost any scale, and range in size from the So-called buck ct pump suitable for work on a. few trees in the yard to the large gasoline power outfits employed in extensive orchard. More specific information of the San Jose scale and the prepara- ton at home of lime-sulphur concen- trate will be found in Farmers Bull letin $50.
 Certain other scale-insect pests which may be present on the trees, as the cherry scale, oyster shell scale etc., are also pretty we'll held in check by this annual treatment with lime su1- phur wash. The treatment is also eff fective against the pear-leaf blister mite, which is universally present on pears and in some localities is a, very serious apple pest. Certain destructive apple plant lice winter in the egg stage on the egg, especially on the newer growth, an through Hme-sul- phur spraying for the San Jose scale undoubtedly results in the destruction ot many of these eggs. though the treatment is not always sufficient to obviate spraying after the insects

5CGTlZENS' LEAGUE REPORTS SURPLUS
 AFTER CAMpAIGt,
Has S4OO Left and It Will B Devoted to Leagues
 Propaganda.

l Something unique in the political
 history of Bridgeport is presented in
 the fact that the Citizens league has paid it's campaign expenses and has 1 S4OO Ieftain it's treasury. The Re
 publican committee treasurer. Will l liam E. Seeley, reports a deficit of
 $1,6O0 and all of the Democratic | campaign fund was expended. The l Citizens ticket was the only tndepen- 1 dent ticket ever placed before the voters at a municipal election and al- | though most of its candidates failed 1 of election the number of votes they attracted, more than A4,000, is .consid- cred remarkable
 The ticket was named by the Com mission Form of Government league and according to it's campaign fund treasurer. Harry H. DeLosss the money will be placed in the treasury of the league and will be used to con tinue it's work. Speaking of the cam paign work Treasurer peLoss said day:
 The differencey5 between the Citi4 zens' party and other parties is that we tried to handle our campaign fund in a manner that would bring the best results for our cadse. We could easily have spent what we have left and more besides, but we could not see where it was necessary. The Citizens ticket was nominated by the Commission Form of Governme league. There is much more educa- tionaI work to be done to procure commission form of government and we shall need the $4oO and more be- sides in order to carry on this work
 Personally I believe the money should be turned into the league treasury and more added to it in orr der to attain our object, but that will be a matter for the members to de- eide at our next meeting. President James A. Marr will call the meeting when he gets the opinion of the ex- ecutive committee on the most advan- tageous date to hold it. Tt is evident that our. esteemed friend John T. King, is not for com mission government nor. is the Re- publican party. At the last election about 1000 votes were cast in favor of commission form of government and this number isa slightly less than the number of votes cast for Henry Lee.
 'If we are to have commission government there is still much work to be done The league will remain in existence and continue work te bring about the object of it's organ ization.'' sNf
 Through misunderstanding it was stated in the Farmer@yesterday that the Citizens party had "a. deficit i1 the return of it's campaign expenses

 In regions. where the seventeen-yeaE locust has been abundant, young or chards especially are severely injured During pruning operations in winter particular attention should be given to cutting out the injured branches, since they are usually Weakened that they will not support any considerable crop Of fruit.
 Burn Trash to Destroy Grape Insects
 Several grape insects winter among the fallen grape leaves in trash in vine yards and much may be done 10 des- frov them if the trash be raked to- gether and burned Such work wall be of value against the grape-berry Tnotft and the grape leaf-folders which hibernate in the spupaI condition Of the fallen grape. leaves. The grapeylne flea-beetle and the grape leafhopper spend the winter as adults under trash of all kinds in and about vineyards and the destruction of trash as tndt- cated will expose them to adverse ei1- rnatic conditions.

BRIDGEPORT AID IS
 GREAT ITEM IN THE
 TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT

That Bridgeport residents with New Haveners are leading the state in the fight against tuberculosis. through the Red Cross, is shown by the records of the State Tuberculosis Commission, which record that Bridgeport has or dered 5O0,OO0 Red Cross seals.
 This is the greatest number or dered by any city in the state with the exception of New Haven which has asked for 100000. Hartford and Greenwich want an equal number of 25O, ,00O- The orders from other towns are: New London. 50,OOO; Nor walk 25, 900; Stamford 5O,0O0; Tor rington 10000; Waterbury 3oO.OoO.

 especially around wounds where the i thinner bark is exposed The spraying l for the San Jose scale aid in the des- 1 troying of these colonies. Spring spray 1 ing of peach as the buds are swelling. 1 in addition to it's destructive action 1 on the scale insects mentioned, is all 1 so a very effective check to the so- l called peach twig-borer, or peach ] worm, which is very destructive in I California and numerous arid valleys 1 in the West. This spring application 1 of Hne-suIphur to peach. is practical

 very serious pest to pears. The adults l hibernate in crevices and cracks of trees, resuning activity with the first
 warm days of spring. Spring spraying I for the San Jose scale has in addition a very marked value if checking the

 The so-caIled terrapin scale or peach as well as Locaniurn scales in general. are not satisfactorily controlled by the
 1ime-sulphur spray, but should be treated with strong kerosene emul- sion, or with niscible (Inixture) oil.
 This latter is a general term applied to several commercial preparations which is used at the rate of one part to eighteen or twenty parts of water. Destroy Wintering Stages of Cod11ng Moth and Leaf Feeding CaterpiIlars In addition to routine dormant-tree 1 spraying much good work may be cone in the control of orchard insects by operations during the leafless peri cd. The codHng moth. the cause of | wor1l1ye apples, passes the, winter in SiIken[ cocoons under scales Of bark,
 in crevices and in knot holes in the trunks and larger limbs of the apple.
 Old trees especially should be scraped with a dull hoe or similar instrument to destroy the hibernating codlfng-
 moth larvae.
 The, apple tree tent caterpillar
 winters in the egg stage on various or
 and especially on wild cherries grow
 ing along side fences or on waste land.
 The eggs are placed in rather con-
 spicuous dark-colored belts or bands
 around the smaller twigs These are readily observed and may be collected hand destroyed without much trouble
 during the work of pruning or at other times. Very effective work In the collection of egg masses has al-
 req dy been accomplished in regions where the Insect has been excessively abundant. Tn some instances it will be possible to enlist the interest of school children, as was done In Michigan dur ing the winter of 1913-14. Prizes were
 offered for the greatest number of egg masses obtained, and the total col 1ected in this work amounted to sev-
 eral million.

THE NATIONAL CONvENTIONs

It has been said that .'God must have a sense of humor, or he never would have made a. monkey. One might similarly argue that the Lord must smile as he watches the incoH- gruotls eccentricities tolerated by the American people
 Arrangem ents are now being made for next summers national political convention. The location will prob ably be decided on the basis of the most favorable offers made by be tels and others for accomne eeia-tio1 of delegates. The matter or get ting a really favorable meeting placa for historic deliberative body will no doubt be disregarded this year as in the past.
 These quadrennial gatherings ara the most important business and pos slitical assemblages in the country On the wisdom there displayed the pEos- perlty and welfare of the United States depend. They should be con ducted so as to secure quiet aeltb- eration and interchange of thought
 Instead of that, these conventions always are held in big halls, where an orator needs leather lungs to make himself heard. A yelling mob is per mitted to be present. The attempt is tolerated to Stampede the conVere ton by the length, of time. by which the sh cutters can yell for their candt- date. As the 1oudest and most peT= sistent howlers can be hired for cents an hour, this is no measure ot the fitness or even the popularity of candidate,
 The conventions ought to be held in a room sufficient only for the dele gates and alternates, with liberal room for newspaper reporters. A great meeting of business. statecraft and national policy should not be tuEped into a beer garden. But the eustonn is firmly imbedded in our political habits, and can't be overturned.
 The real deliberations take placC in hotel Hobbies. The floor debatQ is stage play. But there are erisia moments. when the voice Of the lead. CTS should be heard in quiet and ses cluston hy every dslegata
