sent time defCnsive measures are
largely spraying during the spring
and early summer. This method of
ontrol, generally used by peach grow
LIrs, has heretofore resulted in a fair
legree of protection to the erop. Thc
:-ombination of unusual crueulio abun
lance and hot and rainy weather has
grieatly lessened the eflicacy of the
~ontrol measures in vogue, andl the
Bureau of Entomology is conducting
I x perimients to determine the possibil
ity of wholesale destruction of the
b'etles in orchards by t horough spray
ing and (lusting of the t rees in the
fall. It is expected that preliminary
results from this work will soon be
available and from which it will be
p~ossible to decide what vr lue, if any,
this method may have.
New methods of combIating the pluim
eureulio, which has been raising huvoc
with the southern pleach crop, are oc
eu pying the attention of the Bureau
of Entomology, United States D)e
paretment of Agriculture. TLh is beetle
which attacks not only the young fruit
shortly after it has set but also fruit
is it is nearly ripe on the trees, lays
its eggs under the skin, the resulting
grubs eating their way into the heart
of the fruit. The life of an indlividlual
adult eurcul io may be nearly one year,
and the beetles thus continue feeding
on the leaves of the peach until hiber
nation late in the fall and two or three
mionths after the fruit has been har
vesteid.

pears, and each again becomes an in
dividual looking out for "number one"
first andl always. In forming a ball
the ants in immature stages cluster
in the center of the mass, while the
queens and workers form the outer
portion. As the ball enlarges by the
addition of other workers that have
been struggling alone in the water, it1
gradually revolves. During its voyage
on the wvas it keeps revolving slowly
lby the outLside workers striving con
tinually to reach the top of the ball.
This pertim sair to reach the inter

Thle ball method of traveling is only
one o fthe many wvays by which the Ar
gentine ant gains new territory. From
Texas to the Atlantic, throughout the
South, this pest has now established
itself, to the injury of the nursery
man ,the trucker, andl the orange
grower.
Farmers' Bulletin 1101, recently is
suedl by the United States D~epart
ment of Agriculture, gives methods of
controlling the Argentine ant found
to he effective. Where the infestation
has reached proportions of any size,
municipal control measures are recoin
mendled. The best andl most effective
of these is the use of tin-can container
for ant-poison sirups. A s the ants
prefer to climb for their food, these
cans are hung near ant trails going
up trees and walls. The sirup at
tracts and at the same time destroys
the pest.
A REAL TREAT

be. glad to know that from th Is season

sweet potatoes all the year roundl.
They are growvn and cured in this

The increase of 17 per cent in the DORT price will not cover the
increase in the cost of labor and material. This does not leave the
manufacturer any increase in profit on an increased investment.
We will guarantee purchasers up to November 15 against
any decrease in the price of DORT.
