CankerNorms Quite
Injurious to Trees
During Abundance Periods
They Do Much Damage.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Cankerworms have been known in
this country since colonial days, but
not until about fifty years ago was 1t
realized that two species were present.
They have since been known as the
fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria
Harris) and the spring cankerworm
(Paleacrita vernata Peckl. The eco
nomic and scientific history of these
two species and the differences be-
tween them, together with discus
sion of their feeding habits, distribu-
ton, means OF dissemination, and
measures necessary to control each
species, are included in a new United

Cankerworms attack elms and apple
trees by preference, but are often
found on many Of the common decidu-
Gus fruit, forest and ornamental trees.
During periods of abundance, canker.
worms do great damage, practically
defoliating the trees they attack un-

Protection Needed for
All Young Fruit Trees

The rabbit guards for young fruit
trees should extend from the ground
TO a height of Ii inches. Guards Of
building paper or cornstalks may be
tied on and are efficient for one year.
Experience at the Kansas experiment
station has shown that wire cloth, one
fourth or one-half inch mesh, makes
the best rabbit guard and is permanent
as long as the tree needs protection.
The wire cloth is cut into pieces Is
by IA inches and is fastened with hog
rings. A four-foot high rabbit-proof
fence Is the best protection against
Jack rabbits

it may not look as well as the more

Now for the set. A few things
about it won't harm bit; in fact,
they may help materially.
The receiver is of the good old re-

employed, to wit, but one. Strangely,
1t is not a condenser, a coupler, or
even variometer. Indeed. 1t is quite
different. A metal ring Strange,
but true.
Actual Results Obtained.
The writer made receiver of this
type some time ago. The set was
constructed very poorly, connections
being unsoldered, and all parts laid
on breadboard. A two-stage audio
amplifier of standard design was con-
nected after it so that the use of head
phones might be avoided

Handle Bees Carefully
To Prevent Excitement

In handling bees wait until the day
warns up, then handle them carefully
so that they will not be disturbed
any more than necessary. 1t Is not
good for bees to be disturbed very
much, as unnecessary handling will
cause excessive activity. This activity
may cause the queen to lay more eggs
than the hive can properly take care
of, which is not advisable. points out
f. S. Provost, extension bee special
list at Clemson college.
When you are going through your
hive and find queenless colony 1t
is best to unite them with colony
that has a queen.

has been issued by Judge Gordon for
AlOyius Hengstebeck, who is charged
with having forged the name of his
uncle David Fisher, to an order on
the Farmers Elevator Co., at Brock
ton, the sum being $3.50. The auth

ascertained the details of the story
leading up to the act, it appears that
young Hengstebeck had come out
from his home at Detroit, Mich. to
work for his uncle who resides across
the river from BrOckton, and that af-
ter working five months, his uncle re-
fused to pay him any wages and as
a result the young man forged let-
ter to J. H. Dirk, manager of the
Farmers Elevator at BrocktOn, auth
orizing him to give Hengstebeck a
check for $3.50 which Mr.. Dirk did.
Hengstebeck left for st. Paul and if
apprehended and brot back the au-
