WAR ON CANKERWORMS.
Directions For Fighting This Common
Enemy of Trees.

War has been declared. No, it is not
with shot and shell that the fight is to
be waged. but with sticky bands and
spraying solutions. The common en-
envy is the cankerworm.
"To assure success in the combat too
much emphasis cannot be laid upon the
necessity of beginning early" says
George A. Dean, professor of entomol-
Ogy in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
In the case of shade trees or of a few
fruit trees a simple method, and one
that gives excellent satisfaction, con-
sists in banding the trunk Of the tree
with n sticky substance to prevent the
ascent of the wingless female. The
best method is to smear the sticky
substance on bands of heavy paper,
such as building or tarred paper, bound
to the trunk OF the tree.
1.-THE paper bands should be put on in
the first warm days Of February or
early spring, and the sticky substance
renewed whenever the material har-
dens. In order to close all crevices be-
tween tree and band strip Of cotton
batting, cheapest grade. about two
inches wide should be placed around
the tree and covered with the band of
tarred paper The paper should be
drawn snugly enough to press the thick
band Of cotton into the crevices.
THE band can be easily fastened at
the end with three sharp pointed tacks
about three-fourths of an inch long. If
the paper band is much wider than the
narrow cotton one it will completely
cover it and thus avoid the unsightly
appearance of cotton either above or
below the edge of the paper"
A number Of substances of a sticky
nature are suggested by this authority.
Among them are pine tar, coal tar,
Among them are pine tar, coal tar and
printers ink. There are on the mar
ket effective preparations that remain
sticky for the entire season.
The caterpillars may be quickly de-
stroyed by spraying with arsenate of
lead, using from two to three pounds to
fifty gallons Of water. This method is
recommended for orchards and small
shade trees The first spraying should
be done as soon as the foliage is partly
expanded and before the trees bloom
and the second spraying as soon as the
blossoms fall.

FRUIT GROWING IN KANSAS.
Growers Realize There Are No Profits
In One Line System of Farming.


The evolution of fruit growing in
Kansas has been so rapid in the last
few years it amounts almost to a revo-
luton
1t has taken farm management sur
veys to show the general farmer that
there are no profits I'm a one line sys-
tenn Of farming
Cheap home storage will mean a
steadier and more even movement Of
fruits, especially the late fall varieties
Development of the home market
eliminates all charges for transporta-
ton and does away with the profits Of
the wholesaler and retailer.
These are some points brought out
by George o. Greene, lecturer on horti-
culture, division Of extension, Kansas
State Agricultural college, In discuss
ing questions pertaining to the future
Of fruit growing In Kansas.
Fruit growers have realized for
some time that there are no profits In
one line system Of farming, and al
most all the really successful growers
have been gradually working into some
additional line" says Mr.. Greene. 1.-THE
man who previously grew apples alone
Is putting In cherries or strawberries
or some other line of fruit in order
that he may make his factory work
more months In the year than previ-
ously. Some growers are even taking
care of their byproducts In order that
they may have an income in the slack
months"

WE'LL COOLER FOR BUTTER.

Of these pals are placed dinner plates
and somewhat smaller metal rings Tor
holding butter In fair sized quantities.
The other pail is for milk. When
filed the pals are lowered into the
well as Indicated. They may or may
not rest In the water. If desired the
pail used for solids may be made with
perforated bottom and top SO there
will be a free circulation Of cool air
around the butter or other material
inside.
These pals may be Of any convent
ent size. A good dimension Is ten OF
twelve inches in diameter and eight,
cen to twenty-four inches deep. The
collars should be at least an inch
smaller In diameter. Indeed. one and
a half inches will be found preferable
The box should be two feet high, two
feet wide and about eighteen inches
across. 1t should have a latch and a
paddock If there is danger Of Its being
visited by people who have no business
on the premises. Preferably the pals
should be hung on metal rods rather
than by cords or chains. This viii Ia

EARLY VEGETABLES.


Fully 90 per cent of the people who
start little vegetable garden with a
view to marketing their produce COM
plain that they are unable to get fair
price for their produce, says William
Galloway In Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
The reason is simple. Prices are regu-
lated by supply and demand.
When the average grower takes his
cabbage, tomatoes and cauliflower to
market he finds his neighbOrs are all
there with their produce too. The
market Is overstocked, and prices In
consequence OF competition are low.
The man making big money today with
vegetables Is the one who can get his
produce upon the market before his
neighbors. This is SO comparatively
easy that any one with the average
garden outfit can do 1t.
Buy your seeds early. Prepare your
hotbed and get them started. Maybe
you have no hotbed and perhaps do not
know how to prepare one. Let me tell
you. The best time TO prepare hot
bed is about the beginning OF March.
Get few loads of fresh stable ma
nure, sufficient to cover the space you
intend to build your frame upon to a
depth of not less than thirty inches;
pack down firmly, then place your
frame on the manure. The manure
should extend at least foot beyond
the sides Of the frame. Cover the ma
To- civ
of sifted soil. The frame will then be
ready for the seeding. Hotbed sashes
for covering can be bought for about
IS cents each and will last for years.
Now we come to the real secret Of
early vegetables. Everything depends
upon the system Of transplanting.
When the young plants are ready for
TRANSFORMING, prick them off into pots
or cans sufficiently large to allow of
good growth; have the tomato pots not
less than four inches across and the
cabbage and cauliflower and similar
plants not less than three inches
across. This will give them chance
to develop into fine big, healthy plants
by planting out time. Before planting
out water well so that the soil and
plant can be turned out of the pots
without disturbing the soil around the
roots. The best time to plant out is
after sunset, as at that time the plants
get no setback and continue to grow as
though never disturbed. If this plan
is adopted vegetables fit for market
can be produced at least two or three
weeks earlier than when grown in the
old way.
