CONTROL OF THE GYPSY MOTH
Severity of Infestation Important Fac
tor in Determining Which Method
Should Be Used.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Gypsy moth in orchards can be con-
trolled by a number of methods, the
severity of infestation being an impor-
tant factor in which method should be
used. If only a few egg clusters are
present in the orchard, early spraying
such as is applied for the codling moth
after the blossoms have fallen, will be
found useful, providing the amount Of
poison used is increased to ten pounds
to 100 gallons of water. If the infesta-
ton is more serious, a second spraying
early in June, using similar amount
of poison, will be found very satisfac-
tory. In cases where the infestation
i3 severe it probably will be necessary
to creosote egg clusters in the winter
and spray in the spring If the insect is
to be controlled. In any case, thor
oughness is a prime essential If good
results are to be secured.
All poor or hollow trees should be
removed, and if badly infested wood
land is nearby the orchard trees
should be banded with the sticky sub
stance previously mentioned or with
tree-banding material. Orchard in
festations can be managed by follow
ing up these methods, and it will not
require much additional expense or
great deal of extra work to protect the
trees. In making this statement it is
assumed that the orchard Is being
cared for by up-to-date methods for
protection from the codling moth and
other injurious insects and diseases,
and it is improbable that these results
can be brought about in neglected or
chards or where the owners do not
practice the best horticultural methods
in handling their growing trees.

Ginghams, either plain or in small
plaids and checks, and percales, plain
and In narrow stripes, make up the
prettiest of practical everyday dresses
for the very little girl. In any case these
materials are nearly always a combi-
nation Of one color with white and are
made up with white cotton goods of
some other weave, as dotted swiss or
pique or kindergarten cloth, or any eff
fective cotton goods that will wear
well.
Plaids and checks expanded in size
and in more intricate color combina-
tons, are used for girls progressing to-
ward the ''flapper" age; having arrived
there the young miss glories in all sorts
of gay ginghams. Grown-ups go in for
big plaids, stripes, checks and plain
ginghams in quieter color combna-
lions and those with narrow black
cross-bars woven in the plaids and
stripes have made a great success.

The new presentment of new

silk or dull patterned gauze. while the
surrounding motifs take the form, in
this case, of leaves made up of tInv
black and white feathers studded with

have a good effect. A white beover

vet straps fringed with silk is decided
ly distinctive. This hat will be seen

best, perhaps, with touch Of block

riety. Hens Will lay little or no eggs
during the fall and early winter, while
they are NOTING. Well-matured pull
lets, however, should lay fairly well
during this period, so that an imme-
date return is realized from the in
vestment. The purchasing of pullets
In the fall is preferable in most cases
to purchasing day-old chicks or to
Matching chicks In the spring. Usual
ly there Is little space available for
the raising Of chicks, and, moreover,
many city jewellers have had no expert
ence in raising them. Under these
conditions the results are apt to be
also necessitates broody hens for this
purpose, or else investing money in
artificial apparatus such as incubators
and breeders. Such an investment is
often too great to prove profitable with
the average small flock. If chicks are
raised, they must be fed throughout
the summer and no return will be OBJ
tanned until the pullets begin to lay in
the fall, except that the males can be
eaten or sold.
Buying New Stock.
When pullets are to be purchased, 1t
Is well If possible to go to some farm
er or poultryman who may be known
to the prospective purchaser. In some
cases 1t may pay to make arrange
ments with the farmer to raise the de-
sired number Of pullets at an agreed
price. Where the householder does not
have an opportunity to go into the
country for his pullets, he can often
pick them out among the live poultry
shipped into the city to be marketed
The advice Of some one who knows
poultry should be sought in making
such purchase. to make sure that pull
lets or young hens are obtained, and
that the stock Is healthy. Often the
local poultry associations are glad to
help the prospective poultry keeper to
get stock by putting him in communi-
cation with some of its members hay
ing stock for sale. Sometimes the
local board of trade or chamber OF
commerce Is glad to help to bring to-
gether the prospective purchaser and
the poultry raiser.

When Applying Your Valance.

There Is always an easier and more
practical way of doing things than the
way you are doing them. TaNe, for in
stance, the applying of the valance TO
your window draperies. If you are do
ing 1t in the ordinary way you, no
doubt, nail the valance in place. Then
when 1T comes time to take it off for
cleaning purposes you have the trouble
of pulling out the nails and oftener
than not the material is torn in the
process. The easier and more practical
way is to substitute clasps for the
nails. Sew the pockets of the clasps to
strong tape and nail this to the
board. Attach the snaps to the val
ance at the proper places and your
problem is solved.
