These applications are usually suffi-

is picked. One or two additional ap-

sweet varieties in order to guard as

DISEASES AND PESTS OF CHERRY TREES

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cherries are subject to q number of
insect tests and fungous diseases that
occur more or less commonly in most
regions. The timely and systematic
use of insecticides and fungicides will
usually prevent serious loss. Some
varieties Of sweet cherries crack bad
ly, however, if weather conditions are
unfavorable, and when cracking does
occur it is difficult or even impossible
to prevent losses from decay.
Among the commoner insect of eco
nomic Importance in cherry growing
may be mentioned the cherry aphis,
curculio, and slug. The San Jose scale
often attacks sweet cherry trees, but
rarely occurs SO abundantly on sour
varieties as to require spraying.

USE ELECTRIC SHEEP sHEARING OUTFIT


In England use is made of portable
electric sheep shearing outfit of a type
shown in the drawing. A small gaso-
line engine mounted on a light truck
drives a dynamo which sends current
out over the improvised transmission
line. At regular intervals motors are
operated from this line, each motor
driving flexible shaft carrying On the
end set of clippers or shears. A very
high speed must be maintained by
these motors-2,S00 and 5000 revolu-

ter the leaves appear they can be ap-
piled to the trunk and main limbs with
a brush. The best and cheapest rem
edy is prevention by keeping all trees
vigorous.
In the case Of apple, pear, and other
trees which do not exude gum to any
extent, it is a question of judgment
whether it will be possible to save
trees attacked by this insect If the
infestation is rather severe, it usually
indicates that the tree is beyond hope
Of saving. Individual branches on
trees may often show attack by this
insect and should be promptly re-
moved and burned to prevent further

London, June 13.-In a swift and
deadly raid on the city of London to-
day German aeroplanes took a heavy
toll of killed 0nd wounded. Other
places were attacked. but so far as IL
known at present by far the heaviest
losses occurred in London itself. At
a late hour tonight the casualties az
officially announced numbered 534,
including 81 killed and 437 wound
ed. Fifty-fve men met death and
223 men were wounded. Sixteen
women and 26 children were killed
and 1873 women and "a children
were wounded.
The German squadron consisted Of
about fifteen machines, and the down
town section of London was their
chief object. Many bombs fell in the
East End. where buildings were de-.
struyed and others badly damaged
and scores of persons fell victims to,
the explosions. In one instance alone
ten children were killed I'M q school
and fifty injured.
British airpianes assembled imme-
diately the signal was given that hos
tile machines were coming. but the
Germans remained at a great height
and few swiftly and evidently the
British fighters had difficulty in pur-
suit, for the loss OF only one Ger
man machine has been recorded.
Others are reported to have been
brought down, but there is no Of
ficiak confirmation of this. The an
ti-sircraft guns OF London seeming
ly were unable to reach the Ger
mans.
