Our War Month.

We think OF April as a month OF
showers but. for this country, 1t has
been signalized by its entrance into
various wars. That is curious
fact. Six wars in which this coun-

lows:
The War OF the Revolution bssna
in April, 1775.
The Black Hawk War began in
April, 1881.
The War with Mexico began in
April, 1846.
The War Between the States be-
gan in April, 1861.
The War with Spain began in
April, 1898.
The War with Germany begins In
April. 1917.
The only other really important
war In which this country engaged,
that of 1912 with England. began in
June of that year.--Greenville Pied

WATCH FOR CATERPILLARs.
Keep Them Out of the Orchard, County
Agent Urges.

The following should be of interest to
persons noticing strange caterpillars in
their orchards.
An unusually large numer of late
feeding caterpillars are attacking the
foliage of apple trees throughout the
state Those most in evidence are the
red bumped apple tree caterpillars, the
yellow necked caterpillar and the hickory
tussock caterpillars.
The red bumped caterpillar is easily
identified by means of the red ring,
prominent on the back, near the head.
The rest of the body is slate colored
with fine dots and stripes of gray. These
are very plenty The yellow necked
caterpillars are also most easily identi
fed by the yellow band around the
neck. These have not been noticed in
such abundance The tussock caterpil-
lars are of very light gray, uniformly
colored throughout.
While these need cause no great alarm,
and should not be confused with the
gypsy and browntailed moths, the Yer
mont department of agriculture points
out that some control measures should
be carried out by orchardists not only
to protect this years foliage but to
prevent a still greater infestation of the
insects another year.
The insects may be killed by spraying
with arsenate of lead three pounds to
IS gallons water Also, since the red
bumped and yellow neeked caterpillars
feed in groups, control may be effected
BY clipping off the infested portions
If the branches with tree primer, and
rushing the masses of insects.

County Agricultural Agent.
