r~0 Grapefruit, Showing Citrus cank Infections

Prepsred by the United States Depart
 ment of AgricultureD
 Citrus canker can be completely eradicated from this country If ener- getic work is continued for a sufficient length of time. In an article in the 1916 yearbook of the department, Dr. K. F. kellerman points out that the inspection and eradication work which has been in progress for the last two years, while expensive in itself. has yielded encouraging results. and that this disease is so serious menace that the cost of combating it is small erty to be saved.
 Citrus canker is described by Doctor Kelierman as the most contagious of all known plant diseases and the most destructive of commercial values. More drastic precautions have been found necessary in fighting it than are required by any other plant disease. Not only are infected trees destroyed by burning, but the ground under the tree is sprayed with a formaiin soiu- ton, and It Is also advisable to do this with apparently healthy trees in the neighborhood of those infected. The inspectors who do this work are re- quired to wear costume which can be thoroughly disinfected before and after visiting each citrus orchard. All the apparatus taken into citrus groves, such as oil cans and pumps. must also be disinfected.
 Work of this character Is now being carried on comparatively by the Unit ed States department of agriculture and the states of Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.

cermans' Giant Periscope.

One of the most interesting of the !evices which have been produced dur
 ing the war to amplify the range of human vision Is a giant periscope which the French captured from the Germans. says Popular Mechanics Magazine. With this equipment an ob- server need not seek out some tall free or high tower from which to spy on the enemy, for this collapsible steel mast can be reared at any desired point in a few minutes. At It's upper snd are a conical tube and lenses by which horizontal light rays are defect ,d downward to the observer stationed below. The apparatus is strongly built and the carriage Is sr made as 10 form a wide spreading Uase. Sup ported by the carriage alone. the mast ,an be raised to a height of 5O feet. When 1t is extended to It's full length. which is 30 feet, guy ropes are required to steady 1t.

SPRAY FOR CURCULIO
WeeviI Does Considerable Dam.
 age to Peach and Plum.
H Fallen Fruits Are Destroyed and Ground Under Trees Cultivated Most of Grubs Will Be Killed
 Cut Out Dead Wood.

The cIrculio damage plums and peaches considerably in Florida. It is a small weevil and, like all mem- bers of the family, has long snout with which 1t punctures the young fruits. According to J. R. Watson, en- tomologist to the University of Flor ida station, 1t makes two kinds of punctures, one for feeding and one for eggs The feeding puncture shows merely a small hole in the skin, but may be large cavity beneath the sur face.
 The egg puncture is a slit-like pit large enough to receive the eggs. Im- mediateIy under this pit Is a small crescent-shaped slit which projects slightly inward and under the eggs.
 The injured fruit soon drops. Aft CT a period of development the grubs. which have matched from the eggs. leave the fruit and enter the ground for pupation. If the fallen fruits are destroyed and the ground under the trees Is cultivated. most of the grubs will be killed. They do not burrow deeply and deep cultivation is not nee essary. In Florida the land should be worked until July.
 Adults winter in trash under the trees, hence this should be destroyed. Trees should be pruned. All dead wood should be taken out and the tree bead be opened to admi. sunlight.

Curculio may be controlled by spraying. Mix two pounds of lead arsenate paste in 50 gallons of water. Add to this the milk obtained from two pounds of fresh lime. The first application should be made when the calyxes are first shed from the bios- sons. In about three weeks a second application should be made. If 1t Is necessary to spray for brown rot the lead arsenate should be mixed with each 90 gallons of the self-boiIed lime sulphur.
 If one has only few trees and does not want to provide spraying equip ment. the curculio may be jarred from the trees in the early morning when they are sluggish. Spread a sheet be- heath the tree and strike the trunk with padded mallet. The insects can be collected from the sheet and trans ferred to a dish of kerosene.

Only very small proportion of the orchards in the South have been in- fected. and those in Arizona and Cali fornia have escaped completely. De- spite the cOntagiOusness of the dis ease. infected orchards can frequently be cleansed without the loss of very many trees. IL is essential, however, that eradication work should begin immediately after the discovery of the infection. Any owner who has reason to suspect that canker exists in his groves should close them to all visitors and should see that neither he nor his men visit other groves. Whenever pos sible, he should send for state spe- cialist to ascertain definitely whether the trouble is or is not canker. If no specialist is available, few infected leaves may be picked up, wrapped in paper. sealed in a heavy envelope and forwarded either to the state author ities or 10 the United States depart ment of agriculture. The owner should thoroughly wash his hands in a disin- fectant solution after picking these leaves.
 In a majority of cases the disease af- fleets first the leaves It causes red dish brown spots raised slightly above the level of the healthy surface and frequently surrounded by a rather in- distinct, narrow. yeilowish zone. Be fore breaking through the leaf surface, the cankers are smooth and almost waxy. but afterwards have a corky ap- pearance. Illustrations accompany the article in the yearbook already mentioned in order to assist owners in detecting the presence of the infec- tion.

Remove from the fire and when cold carefully remove the center and fill the space with cooked peas drained and seasoned. Pour French dressing over all. garnish with lettuce leaves and serve cold.
 Lemon Jelly and Cabbage Salad Take a package of lemon jelly, add two cupfuls of chopped or shredded cabbage, a little shredded onion, two green peppers and one red one, mix well ard mold. Serve with mayonnaise on lettuce.
 Apple Salad.-Arrange diced pine apple on lettuce leaves and in the cen ter put few shrimps, around this put circle of chopped apple and celery and garnish with mayonnaise made pink with paprika.
 Tomato and Cucumber SaIad.-While these vegetables are still expensive, two or three tomatoes with one cucum- Der will serve several people if care fully cut. A firm, ripe tomato, if small, may be cut in halves. thus serving two. or, if large cut in slices for three or four. Arrange these pieces of tomato on head lettuce and heap on each slice a spoon ful of finely diced cucumber mixed with finely minced southern onion. then serve with either French or may onnaise dressing.
 A few dates and raisins added to Waldorf salad makes a change and is liked. Take twice as much apples as celery and few nuts with handful of dates and raisins. mix well and serve with French dressing on lettuce or in nests of water cress which is especially good at this season.
 Poinscttia Saiad.-Small. bright, red tomatoes may be cut in sections like a flower. either six or eight petals, and the ceuter filled with yellow dress ing, served on lettuce or water cress, it makes a most attractive salad

TIPS ON HORTICULTURE

Frank B. Cross of the Okia- homa A. and NJ. college offers the following advice to farmers:
 Don't buy your fruits and veg etables-raise 'em.
 Don't neglect insects and dis eases. They are easily con- trolled by spraying.
 Don't forget to use fertilizers. They increase production won derfully.
 Don't prune too much. or too little-use judgment.
 An apple a day keeps the doc tor away"
 Bring satisfaction and good cheer to the home and folks by planting flowers and shrubs about the house and lawn.

There are any number of things that the forehanded woman does on days that are rainy and things are at a standstill in various ways. She may prepare pastry all ready for the adding of the water. put 1t in a glass jar and keep 1t in a cool place, when pie can be quickly prepared. Keep on this emergency shelf a jar of bread crumbs, some finely favored cheese. grated, several cans of soup. box of sardines, and salted codfish, as we'll as cans of salmon and tuna fish, bottle of olives. a box of salted crackers, few fruit cookies and gin gersnaps, can of cream, jars of ba- con and dried beef and other dainties which may appeal to the taste. These will all keep, except perhaps the crumbs and cheese. A can of boiled salad dressing is always a help in time of need; homemade pickles, catsup, preserves and jellies are always in or der, with Few nuts ready to use, the dishes one may prepare will be many, and the care Is all over when the shelf Is well supplied. It should be a rule never to use one of these things with out replacing 1t at the earliest oppor- tunity. Another fine arrangement for the hostess who Is apt to be disturbed at a sudden onslaught of company, Is to have a carefully prepared menu Cor three or four) with all the necessary recipes for preparing the dishes care fully written out on the sheet and hung where glance will tell how to go about the preparation.
