There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be ineurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
uounced it a local disease and preserib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney &

tional cure on the maraket. 1t lis taken

conditions reign, and where
life is going on just us 1t has for the
last 1000 years, unmoved by what Is
passing over 1t, writes Montgomery
Schuyler to the New York Times.
Not easy of access to foreigners at any
time, Russian Turkestan. since the be-
ginning Of the war, has been terra
incognita to the traveller, and SO far as
[ am aware i was the first to visit it
since that time. The country is always
under military rule and since its an
nexation by the Russian empire has
been administered as military ter
ritory by the war office. Through the
necessary official channels I obtained
permission to visit Turkestan, accom-
panied by my wife, and started off
from Petrograd In the middle of a
snowstorm with intense cold and every
evidence of midwinter.
We arrived after some FIVE and n
hnlf days steady travelling at Tash-
kent, the administrative capital of Rus
sian Turkestan.
This Is new city built by the Rus
sians after the occupation of the neigh
boring districts between 1865 and 1868.

ter in the eggs on apple trees, especial
ly on the young twigs. Many Of these
will be killed by the spraying. though
1t is often necessary to spray for them
second time. after the leaves come
out In the spring. Fortunately, the
spring treatment can be given with u
very weak mixture which will not In.
jure the leaves. Where the winters
are mild. the wool apple louse often
lives on the trees through the winter.
especially around wounds where the
thin bark is exposed, but are killed by
the lime-sulphur.
Other Sprays Needed.
While this lime-sulphur spray, mp
piled in the fall or early winter, is
more effective than is any other one
treatment, still 1t does not kill all In
sects which affect the orchard. It has
little effect on the terrapin scale Of
the peach. which should be sprayed
with strong kerosene emulsion. and,
as mentioned above. u spring spraying
is often needed for the plant lice
which attnck the apple.
Other Work Needed.
There is other work besides spray
ing which should be looked after
during the winter while there are no
leaves on the trees. The codllng moth,
the cause Of wormy apples, passes the
winter In silken cocoons under tcales
Of bar, In crevices md In knotholes
In the trunk. and trees having rough
bark should be scraped with duh hoe
to destroy the hiding places. The tent
caterpillar passes the winter In clus.
ters Of eggs on the smaller limbs
where they are easily seen, and are
very easily seen while pruning. This
fall web-worm. which was such n pest
last summer. spends Its winter on
apple and other trees, and the flimsy
cocoon is easily recognized from the
hairs Of the caterpillar mixed In with
the silk.
Look After Borers.
Peach and apple borers should be
looked after at once, us their presence
is quickly recognized by the borIngs
which they throw out Of their holes.
Several grape insects winter among
the fallen leaves. which should be
raked and burned.
A little work In the orchard between
now and the end of December Will
make great difference In the crop Of
next year.
The state herald., 1916-10-13

From now until the end of Decem-
Der Is the best time for killing insects
In orchards. though the work may be
continued during mild weather until
the buds begin to swell in the spring.
Many destructive insects are held In
check only by spraying during the
Time when trees are dormant, us
stronger washes may be used then
than when the trees are in leaf. Many
insects spend the winter on the trees
In the egg. larval or pupal stage, and
. are more easily destroyed then than
at any other time. All necessary
pruning should be done before the
spraying Is begun, as the removal Of
the surplus limbs and twigs makes the
spraying much easier, besides saving
material. OF course. the parts pruned
from the trees should be gathered and
burned ut once, SO rs to destroy what
ever insects may happen to. be on
them.
Lime. Sulphur Spray.
The spray which Is now most widely
used for killing orchard insects is the
iime-sulphur combination. Full direc-
lions for making 1t can be secured
from every experiment station, and
where It is to be used in large guam
titles It is better to make 1t ut home.
rbut where only small quantity is
wanted for use on home orchard 1t
Is usually better to buy 1t, as 1t is now
sold by nearly all seed dealers. The
work requires spray pump, and these
may now be had In almost any size
from the so-called bucket pump suit
able for work on n few trees to the
large gasoline outfits employed In large
commercial orchards. The work must
be thorough to be effective. us 1t is
accessory to spray all parts OF the
tree. the smaller limbs and branches
as well us the mnin trunk.
Effective Treatment.
The lime-sulphur spray is very ef-
tective In destroying most scale In
sects. and one application will usually
be sufficient. though the San Jose
sometimes requires several treatments.
The common oyster shell scale, the
cherry scale and several others are
easily held In check by u single treat
mcnt. The treatment Is also effective
against the pear-leaf blister mite,
which Is usually present on pears and
which IN often serious pest on ap-
pies. Several kinds Of plant lice win.
