STREETS ARE NO.
LONGER LIGHTED WITH
THE OLD STYLE ARCS

Grand Forks streets in the residen-
tial district no longer are lighted
with the ld-fashioned arc light. The
street lighting department this week
completed the installation of large in
candescent electric lights Throughout
the residential district.
The incandescent light. made es-
pecially for street lighting, has been
adopted in many cities. 1t gives a
much better light and is more eco
nomical, local officials say.

tufts of grass, leaves. or rubbish on
or about the trees present ideal hid
ing places for the insects.
The rough bark not only provides
a shelter for the psyllas during the
winter but 1t also constitutes the chief
obstacle to thorough spraying during
the dormant season to kill the hiber-
mating flies. It's removal Is desirable
for two reasons: first, to render the
trees less attractive for the purposes
of Attenuation during late fall, win
ter and early spring; and, second, to
facilitate a o thorough spraying
Of the trunks and lower portions Of
the larger limbs. The loose bark
should be removed by a dull hoe or
door scraper, preferably during a
wei period, as the bark Is then more
easily detached. Care should be taken
not to cut into the live tissues as the
wounds may become infested with
disease. The bark should be collect

which are attached TO the scrapings.

In all types Of fruit self-sterile varie-
ties are more or less numerous. Such
need to receive pollination from some
other sort. Recently we have begun
to realize the importance Of certain
fruits of group sterility-groups OF
varieties which are sterile one to the
other and which must receive pollen
from sorts outside the group. To what
extent this may hold in the apple we
do not know.

while the tree may seem, from casual
observation, to be in full blossom,
with abundant promise of a bountiful
harvest, the Indictment weather has al
ready doomed the fruit. With most
varieties fruit will not set to any ex-
tent without the visitation of those In
sects which carry pollen from blossom
to- blossom and insure fertilization.
Cold rain or high winds may so inter-
fere with these insects as materially
to cut down the crop. Pollen Is easily
destroyed by rain, and when this Is
accompanied by cold, it is many hours
after the storm is ove before q new
supply of .viable pollen is available.
