From ; th* stfliidpolut of the damage they do, tnssrt* may be dMded Into two tlfuse*—those which attack field crops i md those which are Icjnrioua to fruit « iid garden crops. There are a number o? Ipsects which attack corn. _ While Ureae «re BcIdo*a present tn largo enough niFfa- ! bers Jo destroy any cousklcrable part of the outlro crop, the money value Of the damage tuej Inflct on the corn grown on a quartet section each year amounts ta tio small sum. One of tho most important of these pest* Is the com root worm. The Fgafa, which ore laid In the t-ornfleld during August or Stqitember. hatch during the Juno or July. The worms whert full grown are about m’.e-thlrd of nn inch long ond as Llg «round as a pin. They bore up Insldr the root*, injuring them so badly that the growtlt of (he plant 1* seriously checked. Often, t»o, the roots nre so weakened that the corn blows down badly. Rome time during August the i worm goes through a transformation cnllcd pupation, which changes It Into a small light green beetle. This bee tle feeds on the silks ami tips of ears and lays eggs tor tha next year's crop ot worms. Another insect which lives on the roots of corn Is the root louse. These lice are very small tjnd helpless. They nre kept through the winter In the egg stage hi ant Mila. In tb« spring after- they batch they are placed oc the corn mots by the ants. The ant* are very fond of a sweet fluid which Is secreted by the lice, and they take care of them for this purpose. Other Insects which do more or less damage to the corn crop are the stalk borer, wlreworra, white grub, bill bug. cutworm, etc. These Insects live and multiply In grass land and from there tlud their way Into the adjoining corn fields. They do the grenteet damage, however, when the grass laud la plowed up and pnt Into corn. The damage from nearly nil Insects affecting com. small grain or grass can he readily prevented by a good system of rotation. Tbls Is especially true If clover Is used, since such In fects as rntwonua and grubs do not work to any extent on rlorer. The frequent plowing of the ground and chajige of crops where a rotation Is fol lowed are fatal to most insects. Dam age from these pests will be still fur ther reduced If the soil is kept so well nnppJted with plant food that the plant* can get a quick start In the spring. Trenlcd in this way, they are more vigorous and better able to wlth- stsnd insect attack*. These remedies, with the exception of the last, cannot he applied to or- mosr damage. It la the worms which 'fantell from the egg* Itrtd by them that nre so often found In 'fall and winter apples. Many pdaon*. ot which pnrls green Is the one luost commonly used, are effective In destroying the codling [noth, rarts green ts'usually used tu connection with bordeaux mixture, which is a petnedy for the various fun gous dirooscs which afTect the leaves nud fruit.

One of the surest ways of getting rid of this Insect 1* ts Jtr the beetles from the tree at this time. Spraying Is also an effective remedy. The bordeanx-parls green mixture may te used, but arseuate of lead h» better, alnce It la leaa liable to Injure the leaves. It la applied at the rate of three pounds to fifty gallons of water Tho spray should be applied Just be fore the blossoms open. Just after they fall and again about fifteen days later Poisonous sprays should never be ap plied to fruit trees while they are In blossom. It M not necessary In order to destroy the Insects and will kill many of the honeybees, upon which the blossoms are so dependent for pel linn Hop.. 4 The insects that have been men Honed bo far live by eating the leaves and fruit and In doing so take up enough of the poison to put an end to their destructive work. There Is an other class of Insects, however, for which such remedies nre not effective. These are Ihe sucking insects, of which plant lice are the most common examples. Insects of this kind feed by drilling through the outer layer of the leaf or bark end sucking the plant J»il es. They thus escape damage from any poison which may be os the surface. To get rid of socking Insects some suhstnnee w hich will kill by cbmtng in contact 'with them must be used. There ts nothing better for this pur l>ose than kerosene emulsion. This Is made by dissolving half a pound of aonp In a gallon of boiling rainwater. This mixture Is then taken from the stove and two gifflonsrof kerosene add ed. The comoonnd Bhculd be churned violently for a few moments by pump Hg It up with the spray pump and back Into the pall. This causes tho oil to mix thordffglily with the water. Itofore using, this original mixture Is diluted with six to teu parts of wa ter. • A common insect affecting garden crops and one that Is hard to handle is the striped cucumber beetle. This 1* n Berious enemy bf cucumbers, squashes, melons and other plants of like nature. Spraying does little good and Is liable to Injure the tender plants as well. Where but a few hills arc ralsrd, covering them for the first two weeks with a small box with mos quito bar stretched across the top Is a good preventive measure. Another ef fective plan Is to go over the patch in the morning while the dew ts on and the beetled cnutFot fl.v„ knock them to the ground by giving the.plant n alight blow and put a drop Of kerosene On each one. ) Where any of these crops ore raised on a large scale tho most effective reihcdy Is the use of “(rap plants.” riant the field to squashes a week or icn day* before time fo plant the main crop. The beetles ore especially fond of squash plants ond will gather on them In large numbers os soon as they come np. Just abodt the time the oth er plants begin to peep through the ground the squashes,can be sprayed with jery strong kerosene emulsion. This will destroy both tlfe sqtkesh' (Slants and the beetles. There wilt usually not be enough of the latter left In the neighbor hood to do much' dsrrf- «ge. .FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS. * GUARANTEED TO SATISFY PURCHASERS SAM.V JKKBfir WJULiarXkLD UlAftLHfVW* LtBOC The Iferttc* TICK WAKETULD (*M«fr Cmwm. 34 ttvtkaL ^ P«tct Is bfc ot 1 te 4 b. at 41 Jt per it, S to I ■. * HJS per ■* Mb. ■! snv. 4 tUI pm a.
