Larger yields. Keeps trees healthier.
Cheap insurance for fruit. Farm in

Mr.. Guchner described the two or
chard pests that do much destruc-
ton: First the Cooling moth or ap-
pie worm which over winters in ca
coons on dead leans, brush, etc, and
in the spring comes out as codhng
moth. 1t deposits its eggs under
leans and upon Matching in week or
10 days looks for a hiding place and
crawls into the calyx cup and finally
into the apple. You can get one-half
fthe codling moths in the calyx cup
by filling with poison-spray.
If this moth is not killed it crawls
into apple and grows fat and then
crawls out and going into cocoon again
matches out in August and begins its
work again. Spray in August.
He also told of the apple scab-men-
ace, how it over winters in dead leans
and in the spring of the year the
scab spares grow and send out germs.
This pest is also ctntroled by spray
ing.
In the interesting discussion that
followed was brought out the choosing
of good varieties for home use: enough
to supply the demand from early fall
to the new crop. Choose few varieties
for market.
He said he would like to see on the
highways throughout our state, road
signs attractively made about 20 or
80 feet from each farmers driveway:
like this: Apples for sale. etc.
He added II at the farmers have not
as yet begun to 70 their share in the
market place.
With proper pruning, spraying, FER
tilizing and retaining of moisture " Is
consin farmers can raise just as de-
licious fruit as do the western states.
EAT more apples at least 400 a year"
An illustrated lecture by DR.. Walk
er of Madison was given on the dls
eases of cabbage that was most APP
propriate in this cabbage raising To-
cality and treating of the four dis
eases was most beneficial to the truck
growers.
DR.. Walker said: GAIL plants wheth-
er wild or cultivated are subject to dis
ease as we'll as human beings. Inc
important diseases farmers have to
contend with in cabbage raising are:
Club root cabbage, which affects d.
rectly the root; control this by apply
ing lime. Cabbage yellows, atteets
the leans of plant. Black rot, which
invades through the pores of the Leaf
To central treat the seed.
Cabbage black leg: This is not soil
germ as yellows and black rot but
germs are carried from spots on
leans by rain spatterings where germ
follows the root the plant suffers and
tonnage is certain to be decreased.
Soil and seed management will over
come these Diseases: Sow rotary
crops. Disinfect your seed; Long Is
land seed should be risinfected; Pug
ct Sound seed is free from disease.
