Apple Showing Colony of Woolly Aphids Which Are the Progeny of Migrants From Flm Leaf Curl. Bulletin 203, Just Issued by tho Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, contains a roport of tho migra tion of tho woolly aphid from elm leaf to applo, with special reference to tho economic significance of this discovery for nursery stock and young orchards. A general account of this seriouB and widespread apple pest Is included. For moro than 100 years the woolly aphid has had world-wide recogni tion as one of tho most Berious Insect enemies of young apple trees. Statis tics for 1911 on two-year-old nursery stock based on observations made at threo nurseries containing respectlve 'V about 30.000, 45,000 and 300,000 Tees, showed that fiom 20 per ceift. to 25 per cent of tho trees were In fested by tho woolly aphid. As from twenty to forty million of American grown apple seedlings are used in this country every year, tho signifi cance of so high a per cent, of In festation Is at once apparent. It is, therefore, with no slight In terest that the entomologists of tho Maine Agrlculural Experiment Sta tion have been seeking to nscertaln a previously unknown point In the life cyclo of this pest, and havo made tho discovery that this cycle includes threo generations which are passed in what Is known as the "elm leaf curl." The disfigured and curled leaves of tho elm In tho spring aro everywhere as familiar as tho woolly masses on tho applo bark, but tho elm genera tions havo not previously been known to have any connection with tho applo pest and it has all along borno a distinct name. It is a fact familiar to students of this family of Insects that certain aphids live for a few generations (usually wingless) upon ono food plant ond then produce a winged gen eration that migrates to an entirely different species of plant for tho sum mer, where It establishes a series of summer generations and by fall pro duces a second migrant generation that flies back to tho original food plant. It is here the truo sexes occur and that the v. inter egg Is deposited stages .absolutely essential to the continuation of tlio species. Tho woolly aphid of tho npplo Is such a migratory species with two distinct types of food plnnts the elm, or "original food plant," on which the truo sexes occur in the fall and de posit tho over-wintering egg. nnd on which it lives In tho curled leaves In tho spring; and tho applo to which It migrates from the elm-leaf-curl and where It establishes itself as a bark feeder during tho summer. This spe cies, In addition, produces In tho fall a generation that passes tho winter at tho roots of tho applo, a circum stance which has led to tho assump tion that the applo alono was con cerned In tho llfo cyclo of this post, and tho elm-leaf curl which shelters the wolf In sheep's clothing has been previously unsuspected of other dan ger than that threatened tho elm It self which, except In the caso v of young trees, Is not usually great. But tho discovery of tho annual mlgra' tlon of n fresh Infestation from tho elm to tho applo nnd tho knowledgo thnt tho elm generations nro an es sential portion of tho llfo cyclo of tho woolly aphid of tho applo and that this species cannot continue without access to tho elm, put a now signifi cance upon tho economic status of the elm curl. Every Farmer Experiences Much Dlf flculty In dettlng Water to Reach the Extreme End. (Hy n. IJ. HOUSti. Colorado Experiment Station.) Tho dlfliculty that every farmer ex periences In ordinary row Irrigation Is to so control his supply thnt tho wator flows down each row at tho samo rnto nnd with sufficient velocity po that whon tho wnter ranches tho lower ond of tho row tho upper ond has had tlmo to bo sulllclcntly moist onod for tho wntor to reach tho roots of tho plants. In order to accom plish this every field should hnvo n ditch running nlong Its highest part, properly laid out. TIiIb will bo host accomplished by making openings thiough tho shlo of this ditch through which tho wnter runs Into the rows, lovol; that Is to sny, fixing them so that whon a dam 1b put In, which brings tho water over tho bank nnd forces it though onch opening with tho samo velocity and thorcforo havo tho snmo head. It will, therefore, bo a paying proposition to mako these openings poiuuinout A box mndo of lumber or ronrroto with openings In tho side, ouch boc Hon sot lovol, with n drop at tho ond of each section, so thnt by placing tho dam at tho end of tho section tho siuno quantity of water Is discharged through each opening nnd finds Its way to each ro.v and Is sent down onch with tho samo velocity and the Bamo quuntlty of wnter Is supplied to each row. This quantKy can bo regu lated by Increasing or decreasing tho head on each opening, and with this arrangement It will bo found that la bor, tlmo und wnter will bo saved. Another thing, nftor an Irrigation by means of tho row mothodjnany fnrm er3 havo found It ndvlsablo nnd profit ablo to harrow across tho rows. This fills the ditches i.nd tho ground thnt Is saturated with looso earth, .which forms a "dust mulch" and thereby proventa excerslvo evaporation from tho rows, whllo If this Is not dono tho bottom and sides of tho ditches take on a cniBt, tho particles become packed together and excessive evap oration takes placo. For tho noxt Ir rigation It will bo necessary to aguln run the cultivator through tho towb in order to form tho ditches for anoth er nppllcution of wnter, and by tho time this second Irrigation occurs tho plants will bo so far advanced thnt It will bo Impossible to harrow n sec ond time, but the first harrowing enn be done with very llttlo damngo to the crop; in fact it is a benont to tho crop, even though somo of tho plnnts are destroyed. Filling the Gullies. It you havo any gullies or ditches In your fieldB, now Is tho tlmo to mow out all of tho brushy weeds and fence rows or other brushy and weedy places nnd 1111 the gullies with tho trash This will prevent such gullies and ditches from further washing., and it will catch nnd hold other soil Into thorn. No farmor can bo counted a success who allows his best soil to be washed out of his fields, or who al lows sterile and wasto places to re main as such for any length of tlmo. Theso can bo. remedied nnd mado to become rich nnd productlvo spots, making tho furm moro beautiful nnd more profitable. Electrocuting Moth.

Tho practice of disking cornstalk ground before plowing It for another crop of corn has n basis of sound common sense. Ordinarily tho stalk ground becomes vory much compact ed during tho winter, nnd whon It dries out In tho bprlng tho surfaco Is generally somewhat crusted, particu larly so If tho soil contains much clny. Of course, whero sand predominates In tho soil there la not tho same need for putting extra labor on tho surface before plowing, but In tho caso of Lilly b IU1U UIUJ lunula uiu iuuv;iii;u ui ) giving U10 surface a good disking may ( bo depended upon, taking It one year with another, to materially Increase tho yield.
