Egg clusters laid In summer hatch
the following spring. and the caterpil-
lars become fully grown about the first
Of July. They then go into protected
places and transform to the pupa
stage. From ten to fourteen days Ia
ter the adults emerge.
The female Is a large-bodied whitish
moth. with Widespread of more than
two inches; she cannot fly but lays on
tree, fence. wall or building. masses
containing 400 or more giobular eggs.
The male is smaller and darker in col.
or and flies about. The mature cater
pillars are between two and three
inches long. dark gray or brown. and
hairy. A narrow light stripe extends
along the back with row Of tubercles
on each side. Each tubercle bears
light brown hair. From the head back
ward the first five pairs of tubercles
are blue and the remaining six pairs
brick-red. The chrysalis is naked
brown pupa fastened loosely by a few
strands of silk.
Natural Enemies.
Native birds such as cuckoos, orioie,
robin, vireos, etc. feed upon the cater
pillars. There are several predcceous
insects, including the large ground bee
ties and the soldier bugs" which de-
stroy limited numbers. A few native
two-winged and four-winged flies are
parasites. but all of these agencies to-
gether do not keep the pest In check.
All insect enemies of thu. gypsy moth
that can be found throughout its
range have been brought from the Old
World TO New England. OF these, a
large ground beetle CalosOma sycO-
phanta, a Tachinid fly Compsilura

site flies Apanteles lacteicoior and

CHANGES NEEDED IN
SCHEDULE OF SPRAYS
Plan That Should Meet Condi.
tons in Most Parts Given by
Professor Merrill.

Fruit growers who wish the best re-
suits from their spraying must make
some changes in the schedule of sprays
and the materials used, according to F.
s. Merrill. assistant professor Of horti.
culture In the Kansas State Agricul.
tural college.
A spraying schedule that should
meet the conditions in most parts Il
given by Professor Merrill.
l. The cluster cup spray, to be ap-
piled when the blossom buds are just
beginning to show pink. This spray
should be composed Of 34-SO bordeaux
mixture to which has been added two
pounds Of arsenate Of lead. This IS o
most efficient spray for controlling
scab and curculio.
2. The petal fall spray should be ap-
piled when two-thirds Of the petals
have fallen and should be composed
Of III gallons Of concentrated lime-sul.
phur and two pounds Of arsenate Of
lead. This is the most valuable spray
for controlling the codlIng moth. Par
ticular care should be taken to force
the spray into the calyx cup Of the
apple.
8. The blotch spray should be ap-
piled Is days after the petal fall spray.
This spray should be composed of 81
50 bordeaux and two pounds Of ar
senate of lead. This II the most efYec-
tive spray for controlling the apple
blotch.
4. The fourth spray should be ap-
piled two or three weeks after the
blotch spray and should be composed
Of the same material - the blotch
spray. 1t should be applied to trees
that are particularly susceptible to
blotch or to orchards that have been
seriously affected with this disease for
several years.
s. The secoud-brood eodling moth
spray should Be applied eight or ten
weeks after the petal fan spray.
The application Of sixth spray may
be necessary In order to control lats
brood Of codling moth. II should b
composed Of two pounds Of arsenats at
Lad to 80 GALLONS q water.

CROWN GALL FOUND
IN NURSERY STOCK
Young Trees Are More Suscepti-
BILE to Disease Than Older
OneS-contr0l Difficult.

By J. NJ MANN. New Mexico Agricui-
turul Experiment station)
Crown gall Is a bacterial disease
which attacks such plants as the stone
fruits. apples, pears, ounces, walnuts,
chestnuts, poplars, willows, grapes,
raspbefT1es, blackberries, roses, tOma-
to, tobacco. beets, hops, carnationsi
etc.
The disease is caused BY Q specific
bacterium and produces characteristic
gals or knots on the roots Of its
host. The knot or enlargement Is
often Just at the crown of the roots,
but also occurs on the smaller roots or
IN some instances above the ground.
The presence Of the disease does not
ordinarily kill the host rapidly but rs
the 4rowth of the disease continues II
gradually shuts of the water supply
Of the plant attacked and death
eventually follows.
Young trees are much more serious
" injured By the disease than older
ones.
The greatest spread Of the disease
takes place In the shipping Of infected
nursery stock. but the organism caus-
ing the disease can be scattered BY
Irritation water or any way that In
fected soil may be Transferred from
one field to another.
Mechanical injuries occurring at the
dime of cultivation make open wounds
through which the organism attacks
the host.
The coutrol Of the disease b very
dimcult, ~ the removal Of the gall
does not insure the eradication Of the
trouble from the plant affected.
Young trees In the nursery are more
susceptible to crown gall than older
oues, and for this reason the disease
csu almost always be detected at the
tfme Of transplanting. An diseased
trees should b rejected

GYPSY MOTH PEST
Appearance and SpreAd Of Insect
In United States.
INTRODUCED HERE N 1869
Massachusetts, Scientist Brought Cat
srpiilars From France for Expert
mentine-chIef Control Meas
ures Are Given.

by W. e. BRITTON. Connecticut State
Entomologist)
According to the best obtainabie in
formation. the gypsy moth was first
brought into this country in 1869, or
Whereabouts, by Mr.. l. Trouvelot, an
artist and astronomer who was inter-
ested In silk culture. In order to over
come a wilt disease or 'facherie"
then playing havoc In silk worm es-
tablishments, he tried to cross the silk
worm with certain other species to OBJ
tain a harder or more resistant race
OF silk worms. Among other silk spin
ming caterpillars In their various
stages which he imported from France
for this purpose were some egg-mssses
OF the gypsy moth. Some of the cater
pillars escaped accidentally from the
breeding cages at his home, Medford,
Mass. and though he searched for them
and published a notice at the time, tho
affair was soon forgotten. The insect
was not seen for years. but by 1889
had become a serious pest In this same
locality.
Methods Of Spread.
Gypsy moths are spread as follows:
Egg-clusters are transported in many
ways; caterpillars carried on vehicles !:
newly Matched caterpillars are blown
in a strong wind. The former method
accounts for most Of the isolated colo
MES, and the latter may explain the in
crease in the area Of long-standing in
festations.

SHORTAGE OF FISH
DELAYS THE MAIL
Scarcity Causes CurtaiIment Of
Motive Power by Which
Mail Is Carried in Alaska.

Shortage of fish is interfering with
the mail in Alaska. On account of
their scarcity, the motive power by
which the mail is carried In that cold
territory is curtailed. An abundance
of fish, according to a report to the
post Office department, Is essential to
the prompt delivery across the region
of ice and snow, and necessary sup
ply is not to be had.
The mail carrier out from Anchor
age, Alaska. wrote to the department
under the date of March %, 1918:
'Your letter of February q, 1918,
Is at hand, and I notice the late ar
rivals of mail as indicated in same,
The whole trouble is on account of
my dogs. l was unable, and still am,
to get fish for them as it Is not to be
obtained in the country. The dogs
use on this mail are wolf dogs that
have been worked ON fish all their
lives. 1t is almost impossible to change
from a fish diet to cooked feed and
work them. l have done the best l
could to keep this mail moving and
have had to stop and rest my dogs sew
eral times while the mail was In trans

All of the late mails were caused on
that account. l have man

ard-Anchorage) running on schedule

going somehow. The mail is
moving now better. Our dogs are get
