WHAT ABOUT BEEF ok4rLE.

Interest in beef cattle has. been re- viving inA New England during the past few years as is attested by cor resnondence received at the aericul- tiiral colleges. Some herds of ptfree hred beef cattle hay" been started in the expectation that there is going to be q demand for foundation stock.
 While 1t has not been considered advisable to urge beef production on now being profitably conducted, it is pointed out that there are farms hare well adapted to growing beef. That there will be continued desrand fof heef at good prices is pointed out by the American Hereford Cattle Breed. ers' Association in a recent Dublica- tion. Quoting from this authority:

It's natural history and habits, means of distribution, food plants, natural enc mics and, most important of all. ways of controlling it Attacking, as it does, practically all deciduous fruit trees, this minute insect is one of the most generally dreaded pests with which the fraft grower has to contend.
 The bulletin says that the insect can be kept, well in check by thorough annual treatment during the period when the plants arc dormant, and full instructions are given as to how treat- ment should De applied. The various washes are discussed and conditions outlined under which one may be pref eralble to the others.

PEACH TREES.

Peach growers of this section are being urged by horticultural advisers to look over their trees and see if the severe cold of last week injured the buds. It is known that In many sec tions Of the state the peach bids were injured badly by the severe cold snap in December, and it is feared that the greater cold of last week might have still further danaged the prospects for q 1920 crop. However as peaches will stand 20 degrees below zero in January better than 16 below in December, simply because they are more, com nleetly dormant it is hoped that the last severe snap may not have irl- cre4sed the damage.
 Of course there is nothing that can he done about the crop for 1920. but there is considerable advantage in knowing what the situation is. and acting accordingly. If it is found tat 10 per cent. or more of the, buds are still alive, there is a prospect for q crop. But if fhe percentage falls be- low this, it will be better to abandon all hones this year and to take advan- tage- of the epportunitv to cut the trees back for the crop in 1921.
 Peaches are borne on the wood grown in the previous year, not on the older wood. Pruning back stimula tss the growth of new wood and woiild make an Abundance of vigorous bear. ing wood for the next years crop.
