DISCOURAGE PSYLLA
BY CLEAN CULTURE
Removal and Destruction of
Rough Bark Leaves Insect
Little Hiding Chance.

The pear psylla passes the winter
as an adult or fly, and lays its eggs In
early spring. The practice of clean
culture and the removal and destruc-
ton of rough bark leaves the flies few
opportunities to escape from spray APP
plications that kill by contact. The
best means Of killing the flies is to
spray during a period of warm wealth
er in March or early April.
The most satisfactory mixture to use
is three-quarters Of a pint of tobacco
extract Gao per cent nicotine) in 100
gallons water, to which are added from
three to five pounds of dissolved soap.
Eggs which are about to hatch, and
the newly emerged nymphs are easily
destroyed by the lime-sulphur solu-
ton.
If the dormant spray is made when
the blossom cluster buds begin to sep
arate at the tips, it is very effective
against the eggs. For this purpose
spray with one gallon concentrated
hme-sulphur solution to eight gallons
water.

with that of the other. Small nails
may be driven through the tops of the
trees into the trunk, to hold the parts
firmly together. The wounds incident
to joining the tops of the small trees
to the trunk of the large one should
be well covered with wax, to prevent
drying out. Sometimes cord is tied
around the trunk to aid in holding the
tops of the young trees in proper po-
sitiOn.
While bridge grating is seldom used
on shade or other ornamental trees, w.
f. Fletcher, the author of a most in
structive bulletin on Bridge Grating
(No. 710), which has been recently
issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, writes that this
method of grating would probably
prove successful in overcoming certain
types of injuries to them. 1t is GER
tainly we'll worth trying.

WINTER PRUNING is
GENERAL PRACTICE
Exercise Care in Making Cuts
Close to Main Trunk-Mod-
crate Work Is Favored.

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards,
says w. G. Brierley of the division of
horticulture at University of Mime
sofa. Results at University Farm show
little or no difference of the wood
where pruning has been done any time
between November and May.
If the usual care is taken to make
the cuts close to the main trunk or
branches, no stubs will be left to die
and decay, though the covering OF
wounds with a white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency of cold molasses
will give added protection
Moderate pruning Is better thar
heavy pruning.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN LONDON
STARTS NEW INDUSTRY WITH
SPLENDID RESULTS.
THOUSANDS KEPT FROM POOR
HOUSE THROUGH It.
Systematic Buying Enables Workers
to Live on Small Salary-Produet
Has Wide Sale-Many Articles Made
for Suffering Belgium

London, Spril 9.-After two year
duel with poverty, Mrs. Charlotte Jen-
kins, member of pioneer Minneapolis
family, has managed to skewer the
lean Spectre of want to the old rell-
able knitting needle.
The war relief knitting factory
which struggled into being as a re-
suit of her initiative has become self
supporting Hereafter it will essay TO
toddle along on it's own financial sup
port. though random donations will
not be discouraged. Guaranteed aid
from the economic relief committee
has been withdrawn.
To appreciate what Mrs. Jenkins
has done 1t is necessary first to un-
derstand Islington, the poorest OF
London's boroughs, where an Ameri-
can woman has created an institution
solely to keep out of the poor house
poor but respectable old women. Thus
the knitting factory can hardly be
called an infant industry.
Islingtons directory used to con
tain a liberal sprinkling of noble
lords and such. Their mansions are
still there, decayed and long since
deprived of their earlier grandeur
For many years Islington has beer
the home of poor working people
Nearly all its women worked in neigh
borhood factories making non-essen
tial wares. These closed when wa
began.
Mrs. Jenkins knew these women in

troubles in the poor house unless
someone did something.
She asked for $3.50 from the Amer
lean Womens War Relief Committee
and got it, Investigation showed d
vigorous demand for knit goods. With
in a week the knitting factory began
in one room, with handful OF feeble,
underfed old women making socks for
soldiers.
Today the visitor finds the factory
occupying an old mansion in one of
those gloomy little sidestreets.
The Minneapolis poverty strafer
sits at a desk with card indexes
climbing the walls behind her. These
records, she explains are merely a
formality because she knows the par
ticular grief of every worker.
Upstairs in the workroom knitting
machines hum and clatter on rush

ers and refugees partial to t he old
