ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Summer Cultivation Necessary to Pro-
ducs Fruit Profitably.

Summer Cultivation Necessary to Pro-
ducs Fruit ProfitabIy.
Summer cultivation of the orchard is
necessary If profit Is to be made. In
the opinion of f. s. Merrill, assistant
professor of horticulture in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Three methods may be practiced In
the cultivation of an orchard. The
first of these is the sod mulch system.
This is practiced on bottom land or
land high In fertility. Orchards on fer
tile land are likely to produce heavy
growth of wood which prevents the
formation of fruit buds. In order to
overcome this q grass crop should be
sowed in the orchard. The grass crop
is moved when necessary and allowed
to remain on the ground.
The second method often used con-
sists of sowing grass crop in the or
chard and harvesting the hay. This
system Is injurious to the trees and
reduces the size and value Of the fruit.
Where the topography and slope of
the land will permit clean cultivation
Is advisable. 1t kills the weeds and
conserves the moisture. Orchards cul-
tivated in this manner will produce
larger fruit than under other systems
of cultivation.
Clean cultivation will keep down in
sect pests by destroying their hiber-
mating places and food supply. The
buffalo tree hopper Is less injurious in
clean cultivated orchards because it re-
moves their food supply.

KILL CABBAGE WORMS.
Spraying or busting With insecticides
Will Save the Crop.

WIN cave TIC SToP.
Cabbage worms. the most destruc-
tive insect enemies of cabbage. cauli-
flower and related crops, begin deprc-
dations in early spring and continue
till the crop is harvested. Spraying
with either paris green or arsCnate of
lead or busting with pyrethruln after
the heads form is recommended by the
Chic agricultural experiment station
to control such pests
Spraying with pound OF paris

(half as much powdeT) in lfty gallons
of water, along with two pounds of

err, will kill the several species OF
worms on cabbage. This should be
used whenever the caterrillars are nu-
merous up to the time heads are half
formed.
After heading begins one part of
pyrethrum to four parts of fine lime
or -four is preferable. This may be
busted over infested plants once n
week when the leaves are wet with
dew or rain. A fine material like road
dust. lime or flour stops the breathing
pores of cabbage worms and often is
used alone as means of control
against these pests.
Heading is often delayed several
weeks, and frequently plants are made
nearly worthless by cabbage worms.

To Check Celery Blight.

Spraying with bordeaux mixture and
destroying diseased parts will check
the spread of celery blight. Bordeaux
is made with four pounds of copper
sulphate, four pounds of quicklime and
fifty gallons of water. The use of this
spray material is advised by the Ohio
agricultural experiment station on
young seedlings before transplanting
and afterward as needed. For best re-
suits the leaves must be well covered
with the spray in plant beds. Burning
diseased plants and leaves aids in con-

To reiterate what was said in the

make it desirable to take advantage of
