APPLE TREE INSECTS
Can Best Be Attacked Just Before Open
ing of Leaf Buds.

The Importance of the few weeks Just
previous to the opening of the leaf buds
on apple trees as period for effective
insect control is urged by the commits
sioner of agriculture.
The bark of all trees infested by scale
| insects and which were not sprayed last
fall should be thoroughly covered with
| lime sulphur, or a substitute material OF
recognized worth, at this time. The
Connecticut river valley towns of Wind
ham county stand in greatest need of
this spraying owing to the presence of
San Jose scale; but the prevalence OF
oyster shell scale and European fruit
scale in great many orchards through
out the state demands the treatment
Trees which have been infested by the
spring canker worm in the past two or
three wears should be banded with tree
tanglefoot or other sticky substance,
non-iniurious to the bark, as early as
possible in April. The adult moths OF
these dark colored ''inch' or measuring"
worms transform from the pupa stage
in the ground. The females, being wing
less, are obliged to crawl mp the tree
trunks in order to deposit eggs Band
ing. therefore, affords high degree OF
protection. Severe infestations Of this
insect cover but small sections, but such
sections have been literally distributed
about the state in recent years, especial
" in Addison. Rutland, Bennington and
Windsor counties.
Although comparatively scarce in most
sections, the egg masses of the tent ca
terpillar should be searched for and
picked from the twigs before the middle
of April. At the same time care should
be taken to remove all other egg masses,
such as those of the tussock moths, and
all cocoons or webs which may be found.
In all such work careful watch should
be kept for the presence of gypsy moth
egg masses or the brown-tail moth nests.
The known infestation OF these insects
in the state is limited to the eastern
border. Should the brown tail be locat
ed elsewhere or the gypsy moth be dis
covered or suspected at any point imme
date notice should be given the commits
sioner of agriculture.
Specimens of all stages of the gypsy |
moth may be seen in the public librar- |

NORWICH STUDENTS READY,
Nearly All of Them Would Serve Their
Country in War.

Norwich university is probably the
first institution in the United States tC
offer it's facilities to the government fol
the training of officers in event OF wal
after the break with Germany came
Immediately following the canceling OF
diplomatic relations, the president OF the
university wired the adjutant general
offering every facility of the institution
to the government in event of war. This
wire was later followed by letter and
due acknowledgment has been received
by the university authorities.
There has probably been less outward
demonstration of activity in preparation
for war at Norwich university than in
any other educational institution, for the
simple reason that all the cadets lead a
military life and are constantly under
training. Their mental attitude is much
more likely to be that of soldier who
simply awaits orders without any mani
festation of concern. Norwich univer-
sity is cavalry unit of the United
States reserve officers training corps
and will no doubt be called upon TO sup
ply officers for cavalry regiments. The
cadets are not legally bound for service,
but it is known that practically every
man in the institution of legal age and
physical qualifications is ready to re-
spond.
Norwich university is making a can
vass of its alumni and past cadets to de-
termine the availability for service in
event of war. A committee of the fac
ulty is tabulating the returns, giving
NH ystoaI nonAitioY, nd cial
ifications. From tabulations already in,
it is safe to estimate that Norwich uni
ersity could at this time efficiently officer
between $4,000 and 10000 men. A large
number of trained Norwich men avail
able would be particularly well equipped
as officers of engineers, signal service,
field artillery and cavalry.
Everybody conversant with military
matters knows that the spirit of the
Norwich man when there is call to
arms is dominated by that of service
and no other institution in the United
States has ever turned out more officers
in proportion TO its numbers, excepting
West Point The present international
crisis, however, has developed new

was that when she returned to the house
one day she found her husband gone and
also the trunk in which they both kept
their clothes, so that she was left with
