CONTROL GREEN PEACH APHIS
Insect Attacks Leaves Early in Sea-
son-spray Thoroughly With
"BIack Leaf 40"

by c. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins, Colo.(
The green aphis, which attacks the
peach leaves early in the season, and
which sometimes accumulates upon
the young peaches in sufficient num-
bers to destroy them, spends the win
ter in the egg stage upon the branches
Of the trees. The eggs hatch two or
three weeks before the blossom buds
open, so that the best time to control
this insect is after the eggs hatch and
before the buds open. This may be
done by thoroughly spraying the trees
with BLACK Leaf 49," one part In
about seven or eight hundred parts of
water, to which pound Of soap has
been added for each 80 gallons. Kero-
sene emulsion or one Of the miscible
oils may be used in place of the
BLACK Leaf 40" and be equally as eff
fectual.

Strengthening Young Trees.

nounced, 1t may prove necessary to at
tach a second forked stick Gas shown
by the dotted line). This one should
press against the curved side of the
tree; while the upper fork would pull
the top Of the tree over and straighten
the trunk. The fork may be nailed
or wired Tor both) securely to the
stake driven into the ground, and tied
to the tree with a soft cord or rag
string. At the point where it comes in
contact with the tree, it should be
wrapped well with some kind of soft
material to avoid rubbing the bark.
In Fig. 2 we have method which,
while requiring a little more time and
labor than in Fig. /, is more substan-
tial and effective. Three strong stakes
are driven in the ground near the tree.
A hoop from a barrel is nailed secure
ly to the stakes. A stiff stick is laid
across this hoop and fastened firmly to
a couple Of the stakes with nails. At
the point marked "X" in the illustra.
ton this stick is wrapped we'll with
some old cloth or paper, and the tree
tied securely to it. Another stick fas-
tened to the hoop crosswise to this
one, and tied to the tree at "X," would
prove still more substantial.
This device not only prevents the
tree from weaving about when the
wind blows, but it Is a fine arrange
ment for Strengthening and keeping
straight the young trees. Further, to
furnish ample protection from rabbits,
mice, etc., one has but to tack some
fine poultry netting on to the stakes.

Locating A Thunderstorm

From the Popular Science Monthly
When you see flash of light
ming count the seconds before II
thunders and you can tell how far
away the storm is. Since light
travels 1876, 900 miles a second, we
may for all practical purposes re
gard ourselves as seeing the light
ming the instant it flasher. But
sound travels only 1857 feet a
second.
Multiply 1857 by the number of
seconds during the interval be
tween the flash and thunder and
the result is the distance beween
you and the storm. As a rule,
from II to Is miles is the greatest
distance thunder can be heard.

in part follows:
"As the universal pastor OF souls
we could not, without failing in the

has entrusted US with, remain In
different to the direful conflict

1T is for this reason that at the

anguish which flied our heart In
the presence Of such an awful spec
tacle, We tried on several occasions,
through out exhortations and coun'

tions TO lay down their arms and
adjust their dissensions in way
compatible with human dignity, by
means Of an amicable entente.
