Disease of Strawberry
Quite Hard to Control

So-called black-roOt is often respon-
sible when strawberry plants die with
out any apparent cause even when
surrounded on all sides by healthy
plants. This condition is found on
practically all types of soil. The trou-
BILE seems to be non-parasitic. but its
exact cause and remedies for control
have never been determined. 1t has
been suggested that plants which are
propagated from the ends of the rum
ners are more resistant to the trouble
than plants from intermediate nodes.
The best practice to prevent loss by
this disease as much as possible is to
select healthy plants for new plant
ing from patches that are free from
the trouble. Some varieties seem to
be less affected than others. Appar-
emily the trouble lies within the plant
itself and is not due to any soil or 9TH
er environmental conditions.-E. H.

FIGHT HUNGRY BUGS
BY POISON SPRAYS

Fortunately for the orchardist,
sects are discovered almost as fast
as new pests make themselves null
sance, so we are never in any immedi-
ate danger of losing our fight against
the hungry invaders. The ways in
which these remedies have been dis.
covered are very interesting, and while
some of them may seem quite simple
to us now, they required many hours
of study and work before they were
perfected
Before a poison that was both cheap
and effective could be found, 1t was
necessary for someone to study each
kind of bug to learn just how it OBJ
tained its food, when it eats, etc. AS
you all know, many kinds of our in
sect pests pass through at least three
stages in their life cycle. Starting as
"A tiny egg. they hatch out as worms,
which -rat greedily for awhile and
then 20 into a resting stage when We
call them pupa or larva.
From the resting stage they come
as gaudy butterflies or drab-colored
moths. In this portion of their exist
ence they eat very little except pos
| sibly a little nectar from flowers. 1t is
evident, then that if we hope to poison
such an enemy. we must do so when
1t is a worm and greedily eating the
| green leaves off our flowers and vege-
tables. Numerous poisons, chief of
which are forms of arsenic. are used.
There are, however, many forms of
| bugs which do not eat green leaves,
but get their food by inserting their
| bills into leaves and stems and then
sucking the juice. Stomach poisons
are of not use in fighting such bugs
as those. Now the many forms of
bugs all have breathing apparatus that
is similar. 1t consists of a number of
openings along the side of the body.
From these openings tiny tubes lead
to all parts of the insects body. AS
| the insect moves about, air is drawn
in the openings and valves immedi-
ately close behind it. Further move
ments of the insect then force the air
through the tubes to the various It's
sues where it is needed
If the opening should become closed,
or the breathing apparatus be put out
of order, the insects would die for
want of air just as you would If your
mouth and nose should be closed
tightly. Here. then, is a good place
to attack such pests. Kerosene emul-
sion, oil emulsion, miscible oils, soap
solutions and the like are used against
these sucking insects.
Certain contact sprays have been
developed which enter the breathing
pores of insects but depend for their
action on poisoning the bug rather
than on smothering it. We would suf-
fer much the same way were we to
breathe the fumes from certain chem
icals.
Before attempting TO destroy pests
that damage our gardens and fruit, we
must, then. study them carefully to
determine just how they should be
treated. 1t is mistake and waste
of time to just throw on something
in the hopes that it may do some good
The worst pest may be controlled if II
it handled rightly. A point to remem-
ber is. that to control any particular
insect very careful spraying must be
| done

Control of Leaf-Spot

Leaf-spot will cause the leaves OF
cherry trees to turn yellow and fall.
This disease is controlled by spraying
with bordeaux mixture making from
three to four or more applications
during the year. The first should be
made just before the trees bloom, the
second Immediately after the petals
fall. the third about two weeks later
and then another after the fruit is
picked If the leaf-spot Is severe.
