Mnrlprn A rhiYM f X.— tSome Insect Pests I

AMONG the enemies which the . * farmer baa to combat perhaps . than insects. Nothing is more ! aggravating than to hare a promising ! crop or fruit or grain attacked by a horde of "huge" and greatly Injured If not entirely ruined. . Insects, like weeds, are very difficult , to deal with If you go at them one at , a time, but tf properly managed they , ean be eaally held in check. From the standpoint of the damage they do, . lnaecu may be divided Into two J elasaee— tboee which Ittack field crops and those which are lnjnrloua to fruit and gmrdan crops. There are a number of insects 1 which attack com. While these are • seldom present In large enough np»- 1 beta to destroy any considerable part t of the entire crop, the money value 1 of the damage they Inflict on the cikfe 1 pukif on a quarter section each year 1 amounts to no ,m»u turn. 1 " One of the most important of these < pests la' the corn root worm. The < eggs, which are laid In the cornfield i daring August or P-ptember,' batch < daring the next June or July. The < worms when foil grown are about one-third of an Inch long and as big 4 around as a pin. Tb^y bore up Inside 1 the roots. Injuring them so badly that the growth of the plant is seriously checked. Often, too, the roots are so weakened that the corn blows down badly. Some time during Augnst the worm goes through a transformation sailed pupation, which changes It Into a small light green beetle. This beetle feeds on the silks and tips of ears and lays eggs for the next year's' crop of worma. Another Insect which lives on the roots of corn la the root louse. These lice are very small and helpless. They are kept through the winter In the •gg stage In ant hills. In the spring 1 after they hatch they are placed on ' the corn roots by the ants. The ants 1 are very fond of a sweet fluid which 1 la secreted by the lice, and they take 4 care of them for this purpose. ( Other Insects which do more or less ' damage to the corn crop are the stalk borer, wireworm, white grub, bill "bug, ■ cutworm, etc. These Insects live and 1 multiply In grass land and from there 1 find their way into the adjoining com- * fields. They do the greatest damage,, however, when the grass land Is plowed np and put Into corn. The damage from nearly all Insects 1 affecting corn, small grain or grass ' can pe readily prevented by a good I system of rotation. This Is especially | ' true If clover Is used, since such In- j 4 sects as cutworms and grubs do not j 1 work to any extent on clover. The j 4 frequent plowing of the ground and ; 1 change of crops where a rotation is fol- | ■ lowed are fatal to most Insects. Dam- : 4 age from these pests will be still fur- | 1 ther reduced If the soil Is kept so well ! * ' supplied with plant food that the j 1 plants can get a quick start In the ! c spring. Treated In this way. they are J more vigorous and better able to with- ' stand Insect attacks. , These remedies, with the exception 4 of the last cannot be applied to or- 4

no. xxx— oobji rnxKTK m re rid bt boot '

chard and garden crops, since these a must be grown on the aama land year r after year. For the Inaecta affecting 1 these crop* spraying la the beat rem- 1 •dr. « The principal Insect that attacks the 1 apple is the codling moth. These In- 11 sects pass the winter hi a .ball of silk, E or cocoon, which they spin around b themselves. These cocoons are hidden * beneath the bark and under rubbish. 0 Such as happen to escape the hungry search of woodpeckers and other birds 0 change to the pupa stage In the spring. P In this stage changes take place In- I side the body of the worm which so b transform It that early In June it e comes out of the cocoon as a small 0 moth. tl These moths lay great numbers of E eggs, which hatch into small worms. ® These worms eat their way Into the g apple through the blossom end. Tbc * apples thus affected usually fall off. 1 and In a short time the worms crawl pi out and again spin cocoons around u themselves. The life cycle Is lived ix ever again, and a second brood of the t

moths appears about the middle of' July. It Is this brood which tew tire moist damage. It is the worms which hatch from the eggs laid by them thai are so often found ta fall and winter ■PPtae- ' - .UK - ? Many poisons, of which parts grow the one moat commonly used, axs effective in destroying the. codling moth. Paffia craw to usually used to connection with bordeaux mixture, which to a remedy for the various fundiseases which affect tha learw and fnitt. To make this mixture ffiwolve Ova pounds of copper sulphate and five pounds at lime separately In twwtyflve gallon of water each. When they thoroughly dlsaotved mix the two solutions and add four ouhew of parts The lime In thta solution to added to prevent the chemicals from Injuring the leaves and to make the mixture stick better. Three sprayings are sufficient for the codling moth. The first should be given Immediately after the blossoms the second from ten to twenty days later and tha third about the last of July. One of the chief Insect enemjw of the plum and one which alto attaeks of the other fruits to the curcu-

no. xx— a erBAxx* at wobx The curcullo beetle lays Its aggs

the young fruit shortly after It sets. In doing so It leaves a half moon shaped scar, which to Its trademark. One of the sorest ways of getting rid of this Insect to to Jar the beetles the tree at this time. Spraying to also an effective remedy. The bordeaux-parto green mixture be used, but arsenate of lead to since It lis lew liable to Injure leaves. It to applied at the rata of three pounds to fifty gallons of water. The spray sbotrtd be applied Jest before the blossoms open, Jnst after they fall and again about fifteen days later. sprays should never be. applied to fruit trees while they are -In. blossom. It to not necessary In order j destroy the Insects and will kill j of the honeybees, upon which | the blossoms are so dependent for pol- ! j The Insects that have been menj tloned so far live by eating the leavw and fruit and In doing so take op enough of the poison to put an end to their destructive work. There to an- : other class of Insects, however, for which such remedies are not effective. These are the sucking Insects, of which plant lice are the most common examples. Insects of this kind feed drilling through the outer layer of tee leaf or bark and sticking the plant juices. They thus escape damage from any poison which may be on the surface. To get rid of sucking insects some substance which will kill by coming in contact with them must be used. There Is nothing better for this purpose than kerosene emulsion. This to made by dissolving half a pound of soap In a gallon of boiling rainwater. This mixture la then taken from the stove and two gallonrof kerosene added. The compound should be churned violently for a few moments by pumping it up with the spray pump and back into the pall. This muses the oil to mix thoroughly with the water. Before using, this original mixture to diluted with six to ten parts of water. A common insect affecting garden crops and one that to hard to handle is the stri[ied cucumber beetle. Tills is a serious enemy of cucuni!>er8, squashes, melons and other plnms of like nature. Spraying does Utile good and is liable to Injure the tender plants well. Where but a few hills are raised, covering them for the first weeks with a small box with mosquito bar stretched across the top to a good, preventive measure. Another effective plan to to go over the patch the morning while the dew to on and the beetles cannot fly, knock them the ground by giving tbe plant a ' slight bio* and put a drop of kerosene on each one. Where any of these crops are raised a large scale the most effective remedy Is the use of "trap plants." the field to squashes a week or ton days before time to plant the main The beetles are especially fond of squash plants and will gather on In large numbers as soon as they come up. Just about the time the othplants begin to peep through the ground the squashes can be sprayed with very strong kerosene emulsion. will destroy both the squash and the beetles. There will usually not be enough of the totter left the neighborhood to do much dam- ... 1
