gARLY SPRAYING FOR PEA LICE
Is NECESSARY.
Il. N. CORY.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The pea and melon lice are the most
serious aphids with which the trucker
has to deal. Pea Hoe live for approx
mately eight months Of the year on
clover preferably on crimson clover,
hence the first measure against the
pea louise should be to remove the
pea neld as far from clover as prac-
teal or II It is necessary that both be
close together, the clover should be
turned under early in the spring.
Careful watch should be made in
April for the flrst aphids. which are
light green and about one-eighth Of
an inch long. and spraying should
take place Immediately after they are
flrst observed.
A tractor sprayer with nozzles so
arranged a. to direct the spray over
the top and both sides is the best ma
chine to use. Four rows can be
sprayed at once with such machine.
Use "Black Leaf 4o." to $40 parts
OF water or 10 ounces to so gallons
plus 4 pounds Of hsh oil soap. Using
rs gallons per acre, one application
win cost approximately $3.50 per acre,
including labor of two men. team and
materials. The same mixture is ef-
fective on the melon aphis, a small
black aphis. but the cost win be high
or as the vines must be turned over
and back again, since the aphis clus-
nAer on the under side of the leaves.

ship Money.

Charles l. was badly in need of mon
ey, and his attorney general in the
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that In the dim ages Of the
past the crown had issued writs to the
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the royal
needs, and he suggested that this an
cient right might be brought into use
again. Instead of the actual vessels a
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax larger part of the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs
for ship money were accordingly is
sued, but the patriot John Hampden
declared that they were illegal and
raised such a protest against them
that they were practically nullified.

Making An Artesian Wei Pump
Itself.

The field men of the United States
Geological Survey, in their investiga-
tions Of the ground-water resources
of the Virginia Coastal Plain, have
observed that the flows from many
artesian wells in that region are
utilized to drive hydraulic rams for
the purpose of lifting the water to
higher levels. Along the lower
courses Of the Potomac and Rappa-
hammock and along the shores OF the
many inlets that run back from
Chesapeake Bay above the James
there are hundreds of artesian wells
that supply perennial flow of beau
tiful clear water which is, as a rule,
excellently adapted to all domestic
uses and is largely utilized by the
canning factories and other indus
trial establishments that abound in
that part of the country. Though
the pressure of the water from the
wells is ample at the shore level,
the head diminishes SO quickly with
increase in elevation that no flow
can be obtained along the higher
banks above the shores where the
water is most needed. One method
Of obtaining it at these higher levels
to use the force developed by tbs
.rtesian flow to operate hydrulfc
ans, which in turn raise the water
% the heights desired along the
bluffs above the river and inlets.
Thus it may be said that the artesian
wells pump themselves.

PREVENT INJURY FROM FRUIT
TREE BARK BEETLE.
T. B. sYMoNs
Maryland Agricultural College Exten-
sion Service.

Orchardists should be careful to see
that all dead wood is cut and removed
from the orchard. Such dead wood,
or diseased or sickly trees offer an
opportunity for infestation by the
Fruit Tree Bark Beetle or Shot Hole
Borer. While the attack Of this in.
sect is usually confined to such wood,
after becoming established in an or
chard it may attack perfectly healthy
trees.
The beetles bore into the bark and
sap wood, where they eat vertical gal
leries or brood chambers. into which
the females lay their eggs. The bored
holes are about the size Of a No. 9
shot.
The adult beetle is about one-tenth
inch long, by third as wide, and
uniformly black In color. Trees OF
parts Of trees seriously attacked by
the pest are usually hopeless. Gum
exudes from the holes Of the beetles
and as the young develop into adults
they eat their way out. Another in
iury by the insect is caused by theil
habit of attacking small twigs in early
spring by burrowing into the base Of
bud.

CONTROL THE COOLING
j MOTH BY SPRAYING
T. a sYMONs,
Maryland Agricultural College Exten'
sion Service.

Now that the dormant season spray
ing is over, orohaxdists must prepare
for the control Of the Codling Moth,
whieh causes wormy apples, by treat
ing their apple trees just as the bios
SONS fall.
The Codling Moth passes through
the winter as q full grown larva in a
small, white cocoon beneath or in
crevices Of the bark. About the time
that apples bloom. the larya trans
forms to the pupa. from which the
moth emerges.
The female lays from so to so eggs,
mostly upon the foliage. The eggs
hatch in from five to ten days. de-
pending upon the season and tempera-
ture. The young larva usually feeds
q little ON the tender parts of the
leaves before 1t crawls to the nearest
young apple. which it attacks by en-
ter1ng the calyx cup. Some will enter
the stem snd or on the side. The
Aarva continues to feed into the young
fruit, It's work being indicated by the
well known excreta thrown out from
the calyx. showing the worminess OF
the apple. The larva reaches maturity
"a from three TO four weeks and eats
Its way out usually through the side
Of the apple, and seeks a secluded
! spot, where It spins its cocoon for
Transforming to the adult. In this
region there Is a partial second brood
occurring about July 1st.
Controlling The Moth.
The Codiing Moth ID controlled by
spraying with an arsenical such as
Arsenate Of Lead, Paris Green, etc.
Usually combination spray Is ap-
piled, using concentrated lime-sulphur
solution, diluted ut the rate Of one and
OnehAN gallons to barrel Of water
sor diseases, to which 10 added the
asenical two pounds. Paste Arsenate
oe Lead, or about one-third pound
PARIS Geeen. Most growers use Ar
senate Of Lead. II the powdered Ar
senate Of Lead Is used-one pound to
The barrel % suflcient.
Many commercial firms are selling
Arssnsts Of Lime in place Of Arsen-
ate Of Lead. This Is q little cheaper
and there is no reason why it should
not be equally as effective on apple,
but shculd not be used ON peach and
similar tender foliage plants.
Apply Properly.
It 10 very Important In spraying for
the Cooling Moth that the work be
thorough, and that the spray be apA
Piled with good power. Power spray
ers are, OF course. most desirable for
this 40 well as other spraying. The
foliage should be covered with the
spray and special EFFORT made to lodge
the solution IN the calyx cup OF the
blossoms.
Through extended tests it has been
found that the Cooling Moth can be
usually controlled with one thorough
spray applied just before the calyx
cup closes, or al the blossoms fall.
with the high cost Of arsenicals
this season, we would recommend one
spraying for this pest this season. or
course. Il may be necessary to spray
Iatar on for tho control Of some dis
eases, such ~ Bitter Rot.
The above treatment for Cooling
Moth should also suflce to prevent
injury from the Curculio on Apple.
