GREEN BUGS IN KANSAS.
They Are Causing Great Damage 70
Oats and Wheat.

They Arc Causing Great Damage 70
Oats and Wheat.
Southern Kansas farmers in districts
where green bugs have invaded the
fields and the oats have been ruined
are urged to starve out the pests by
pasturing, and subsequently plant
fields to feterita or Sudan grass.
L. E. Call, professor Of agronOmy in
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
who has investigated conditions, re-
ports that the ravages by the insects
have been severe in Sumner, Harper,
to some extent In Cowley county and
in north central Oklahoma. Oats prac-
tically have been destroyed in the por-
ton Of Oklahoma mentioned and in
the eastern and southern parts Of Sum-
ner county.
Wheat has been damaged, but not
destroyed. Even the corn has been
attacked and by sufficient number Of
bugs to ruin the crop. The insects
were found as far north as Salina, but
not in large enough numbers to cause
alarm. Serious infestation' is not eX-
pected to become general in Kansas
unless dry weather should prevail.
Heavy rains in southern Kansas would
tend to destroy the bugs and benefit
the crops.
"Replanting now is simply adding
feed for the green bugs" says Profess
sOr Call. "Where oats have been DAM
aged beyond recovery pasture the
fields and thus reduce the available
food supply for the pests. After this is
done the ground either should be plow-
ed or listed, depending upon the crop
to be planted later. 1t is preferable to
plow, as this will turn under green
bugs and will leave no food for addi-
| tiOnal insects.
"The ground should be kept in good
condition, but no crop should be plant
ed until the bugs have been starved
out or have been brought under con-
troll by the parasitic insects that usu-
ally hold the green bugs In check.
When the bugs have disappeared it
/ will be too late to plant corn or such
late maturing sorghums as Kaffir. 1t
probably will be advisable to depend
upon early maturing crops, such as fe-
terita for grain and Sudan grass for
hay.
"Feterita could be planted safely as
late as the middle Of June and mature
a crop Of grain in normal season.
Sudan grass could be planted July or
even two weeks later. Plant as soon
as possible after the disappearance OF
the green bug"

especially susceptible to attack. This
insect resembles somewhat a long mar
row oyster SHE'LL under which the eggs
are concealed. These hatch at varying
times, but usually through the months
of April, May and June.
The scurfy scale is especially COM
mon on apple, pear, cherry and peach
trees. 1t is less widely distributed
than the oyster shell and is regarded
as less harmful.
Where orchards are pruned and
sprayed regularly for the San Jose
scale during the dormant period no ad-
ditional measures for protection against
the oyster shell and scurfy scale are
usually necessary. Additional spray
ing, however, may be needed If an
abundance of young scales hatch In the
spring. These may be killed by kero-
sene emulsion or other contact sprays.
Infested trees should be carefully
watched during the spring and early
summer in order to discover, the insects
as soon as they hatch and to apply the
spray at once.
Following are directions for making
the kerosene emulsion and the lime
sulphur mixture used for spraying for
San Jose scale, as well as for the oys-
ter shell and scurfy scale.
Kerosene emulsion Is made after the
following formula Kerosene Goal oil,
lamp oily, two gallons; fish oil or laun-
dry soap Tor a quart Of soft soap, half
pound; water, one gallon.
First dissolve the soap in boiling wa
ter, then remove the vessel from the
fire. Immediately add the kerosene
and thoroughly agitate the mixture
until creamy solution results. The
stock emulsion may be more convent
emily made by pouring the mixture
into the tank Of spray pump and
pumping the liquid through the nozzle
back into the tank for some minutes.
The stock solution, If well made, will
keep for some months and is to be
diluted before use. TO make 10 per
cent spray the strength for trees In
foliage) add to each gallon of the stock
solution about five and twO-thirGs gal
Ions of water. For 20 and 25 per cent
emulsions (for use on dormant trees
and plants, use respectively about
two and a third and and one and two
thirds gallons of water for each gallon
of stock emulsion. Agitate the mix
ture in all cases, after adding the wa
ter The preparation Of the emulsion
will be simplified by the use Of naph-
tina soap. No heat will be required,
as the kerosene will combine readily
with the naphtha soap in water when
thoroughly agitated. Double the guam
tity Of naphtha soap given in the above
formula. however, will be required,
and soft or rain water should be used
in making the emulsion. In regions
where the water Is "hard" this should
first be broken with a little caustic
potash or soda. as common I've, before
use for dilutiOn to prevent the soap
from combining with the lime or mag
nesia present. thus liberating some Of
the kerosene. or rainwater may be en-
ployed.
A good lime-sulphur wash may be
made for immediate use by the follow
ing formula:
Stone lime, 20 pounds; sulphur flour
or flowers), Is pounds; water to make
80 gallons.

PRUNING APPLE TREES.

Here are a few good general rules to
follow in tie pruning Of apple trees:
Always make cuts as close as posi-
BILE, leaving no stubs.
Remove all dead and badly cankered
branches.
Do not remove the fruit spurs.
Remove all water sprouts unless
needed to fill in open places.
Prune trees annually and distribute
pruning over entire tree.
Keep all parts of the tree open
enough to admit sunlight.
Prune during the dormant season,
preferably during the late winter and
early spring.
Paint all wounds two inches or lar
ger with white lead and raw linseed
oil. Avoid ready mixed paints.
Do not allow professional primer in
your orchard unless he can get rec
0mmendation from some absolutely re-
liable authority.-New Hampshire Sta

FOR POTATO scAB.
Tubsrs Should Be Sprayed With For
maidshyde or Corrosive SubIimate.


Prepared by New York station.l
Farmers who grow potatoes will find
that treating the seed tubers with for
maldehyde or with corrosive sublimate
is helpful in securing clean, smooth
potatoes. According to the State Col
Iege of Agriculture at Cornell, scab is
responsible to large extent for rough
looking and often unmarketable tu-
bers, and this disease is common
throughout New York state. Seed treat
ment, they say. will destroy the scab
organism on the tubers, and when
such treated tubers are planted on I'M
lined land that has not grown po-
tatoes for three or four years a clean
crop can be expected.
When formaldehyde is used the I'M
cut tubers should be soaked for two
hours In solution made by diluting II
pint Of standard strength Tornado
hyde in thirty gallons Of water. The
college authorities find that barrel is
the handiest container for treating tu-
bers. An inch hole should be bored at
the side near the bottom and plug
fitted to it that can be pulled out by
hand. The barrel should be set up on
a platform high enough so that the
solution may be drawn off into pail.
Further directions, as given by the
college, are as follows: FIJI the bar
rel with uncut tubers and then cover
them with the solution. When they
have been in two hours drain Off the
solution through the hole near the bot
tom, dumping. the potatoes on the
ground and filling the barrel again.
The formaldehyde solution can be
used again and again. renewing only
to replace that which is taken up by
the seed potatoes. If the treatment is
made when cutting is going forward
no time is wasted in looking after
changes Of treatment In larger oper
atoms one can expeditiously treat
large number Of potatoes by having
eight or ten barrels. Treatment can
be made at any time previous to cut
ting.
In using corrosive sublimate soak
tubers one and one-half hours in So
luton made by dissOlving four ounces
of the powdered sublimate in thirty
gallons of water. In the latter case
use only wooden vessels, as corrosive
sublimate loses strength when in con-
tact with metal. To two or three
quarts of hot water in a wooden pail
add four ounces of corrosive sublimate
and stir until dissolved. Then add this
to cold water in barrel to make thirty
gallons. This substance is very poison
Gus. 1t should be kept from children
and the treated tubers kept from stock.
Do not use the same solution more
than three times without renewing.
Formaldehyde is not as effective as
corrosive sublimate in controlling some
other diseases, but is just as effective
for scab, is much cheaper this year, is
ot>nearly as poisonous, can be used in
metal or wooden vessels and can be
used over and over again. These ad-
vantages probably outweigh its disad-
vantages. Plant disease experts at the
college Of agriculture say that farmers
will obtain satisfactory results with
either.

TROUBLESOME SCALES.

Oyster Shell and Security Scale Most
Disastrous Next to San Jose.
prepared by United States department Of

Next to the San Jose scale orchard
lists appear to be more troubled by the
oyster shell and the scurfy scale than
by any other insects Of this character
These two scales frequently kill indi-
vidual branches and stunt whole trees.
They winter in the egg stage under
their protecting scales and for this
reason are less susceptible to washes
than the San Jose scale. In most
cases, however, the treatment for the
latter will hold the oyster shell and
the scurfy scale in check as well.
The oyster shell is found in nearly
every state in the country. 1t attacks
apple, maple. horse chestnut, poplar,
willow, lilac and other trees. Shade
