sons were especially serious. Every apple tree in the neighborhood' was hung thick with their nests. They turned the wild cherry bushes in ne gleCted hedge rows into filthy bedrag elements of ragged nests and leafless stems. Even the cherry trees in the forests were festooned with the un tidy tents of the vile worms Last season I had my own orchards thoroughly sprayed against them with a power sprayer, and cut and burned all the cherry trees and bushes grow ing in my pastures. This year there hasn't been tent" visible on the farm. At first l congratulated my self on this as the result of my own work last summer. But I notice that there ave none of the worms on the fOres, trees. either; nor are they mo- fceahle on any of my neighbors' or Chards not even on those where they Were neither sprayed nor burned out.
 The truth seems to be that last season the worms reached their limit and died out of their own Over-fe- rundity. Tha- was the crest of the worm wave: now we are in the trough Of it's recession.

sTREAKS IN LIFE WITH THE FARMER

(Written Specially for The BUlletin)
 Things go in streaks in the farmers world as well as any other
 Of course you've all noticed it. There are spells" of weather, and 'hOt waves" and alternate streaks of fat and lean in good bacon. Nothing seems to endure as a fixed thing, ex cept the stars. And they, we are told, are really whOoping it up through space at rates of anywhere from a hundred to a thousand miles a sec ond Only they are so far away from us that we can't notice a little move nlent of ten or twenty million miles, unless we measure it with high pow cred telescopes and bolOmeters and spectroscopes and few such other instruments.
 So far as things which we can see and touch and which tickle us or prick us are concerned, everything seems to be shifting and flowing, us ually running in successive waves, like the rollers of the ocean.
