Nothing In more than to huvo n promising crop of frnlt or grain nttackcil by n horde of "lings" and greatly Injured If not entirely mined. InscctH/lllcc wcedH , nrc very dllllcult ( o dual with If yon go ut them ono at a ( line , hut If properly managed they can bo eaHlly held In check. From the standpoint of the damage they do , Insects may be divided Into two classes tlioso which attack Held crops and those which are Injurious to fruit mil garden crops. There' " anP'ii mTmbor of Insects which attack corn. While these nro cldom present In largo enough mini- ) crs to destroy any considerable part of the entlro crop , the money value > f the damage they Inflict on the corn grown on n quarter section each year imounts to no small sum. One of the most Important of these ) f > sts Is the corn root M'orui. The > ggs , which are laid In the cornfield luring August or September , hatch ( luring the next June or July. The vorniH when full grown are about inc'lhlnl of an Inch long and as big round as a pin. They bore up Inside ho roots. Injuring them so badly that ho growth of the plant Is seriously hecked. Often , too , the roots are so wakened that the corn blows down mdly. Some time during August the vorm goes through a transformation ailed pupation , which changes It Into n small light green beetle. This bee- lo feeds on the silks and tips of cars mil lays eggs for the next year's crop of worms. Another Insect which lives on the oots of corn Is the root louse. These Ice are very small and helpless. They ire kept through the winter in the egg stage In ant hills. In the spring ifter they hatch they are placed on ho corn roots by the ants. The ants ire very fond of a sweet lluid which s secreted by the lice , and they take care of them for this purpose. Other Insects which do more or Jess lamagc to the corn crop arc the stalk > orer , wlrcworm , white grub , bill bug , cutworm , etc. These Insects live and uultlply In grass land and from there find their way Into the adjoining corn- lelds. They do the greatest damage , lowever , when the grass land is lowed up and put Into corn. The damage from nearly all Insects iU'ectlug corn , small grain or grass can bo readily prevented by a good By/item of rotation. This Is especially true If clover Is used , since such In sects as cutworms and grubs do network work to any extent on clover. The frequent plowing of the ground and luingu of crops whcro a rotation is fol- owed arc fatal to most Insects. Dam- i go from these pests will be still fur- her reduced If the soil Is kept so well supplied with plant food that the plants can get a quick start In the spring. Treated In this way , they are more vigorous and better able to with stand Insect attacks. These remedies , with the exception of the last , cannot bo applied to or- riCI. XIX COllK IT.ANTfl IKJU1IKD 11V HOOT \VOHM. chard and garden crops , since these must bo grown on the same land year after year. For the Insects alYectlng these crops spraying is the best rem edy. edy.The The principal insect that attacks the apple Is the codling moth. These insects - sects pass the winter In n ball of silk , or cocoon , which they spin around themselves. These cocoons are hidden beneath the bark and uiulcr rubbish. Such as Ijappen to escape the hungry search of iwodpcekers and other birds Mmngo to the pupa stage in the spring In this stage changes take place in- eldo the body of the worm which so transform it that early in June It comes out of the cocoon as a small brown moth. These moths lay great numbers of eggs , which hatch into small worms. Those worms cat their way into the npple through the blossom end. The apples thus affected usually fall off , hnd in n short time the worms crawl out and again spin cocoons around themselves. The Hfo cycle la lived over agnln , and n second brood of the moths appears about the middle of July. It Is this brood which does the most damage. It is the worms which hatch from the eggs laid by them that are so often found lu fall and winter , apples. Many poisons , of which parls green is ( he one most commonly used , nrc effective In destroying the codling moth. Paris green Is usually used In connection with bordeaux mixture , which is a remedy for the various fun gous diseases which affect the leaves nnd fruit. To make this mixture dissolve five pounds of copper sulphate and five pounds of lime separately in twenty- llvo gallons of water each. When they nro thoroughly dissolved mix the two solutions and add four ounces of parls green. The lime In this solution is added to prevent the chemicals from injuring the leaves nnd to make the mixture stick better. Three sprayings are BUfllcleiit for the codling moth. The first should be giv en Immediately after the blossoms /all , the second from ten to twenty days later and the third about the last of July. One of the chief insect enemies of the plum and one which also attacks many of the other fruits is the curcu- /iv : , 6n/ j , fi M f sfcA. A. P 'utjflSflfty 1 - A _ f 1 < u < ( no. xx A BriuYcn AT WORK. Ho. The curcullo beetle lays Its eggs lu the young fruit shortly after It seta. In doing so it leaves n half moou shaped scar , which Is its trademark. One of the surest ways of getting rid of this insect is to Jar the beetles from the trco at this time. Spraying is also nil effective remedy. The bordcaux-parls green mixture inuy be used , but nrsenato of lead is better , since it is less liable to injure the leaves. It is applied at the rate oj three pounds to fifty gallons of water. The spray should bo 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 arc lu blossom. It is not necessary in ordei to destroy the insects and will kill many of the honeybees , upon which the blossoms are so dependent for pol lination. The Insects that have been men tioned so far live by eating the leaves and fruit and in doing so take up enough of the poison to put an end to their dostructlvo work. There is an other class of Insects , however , foi which such remedies are not effective. These are the sucking insects , ol which plant lice arc the most common examples. Insects of this kind feed by drilling through the outer layer of the leaf or bark and sucking the plant Juices. They thus escape damage from any poison which may bo on the surface. To get rid of sucking insects some substance which wlU kill by coming in contact with them must bo used. There is nothing better for this pur pose than kerosene emulsion. This Is made by dissolving half a pound of soap in a gallon of boiling rainwater This mixture Is then taken from the stove and two gallons of kerosene add od. The compound should be churned violently for a few moments by pumpIng - Ing it up with the spray pump and back into the pall. This causes the oil to mix thoroughly with the water Before using , this original mixture it- diluted with six to ten parts of wa tor. tor.A A common insect affect Ing garden crops and one that is hard to handle is the striped cucumber beetle. This is a serious enemy of cucumbers , squashes , melons and other plants ol like nature. Spraying docs little good and Is liable to Injure the tender plants as well. "Where but a few hills arc raised , covering them for the first two weeks with a small box with mos qullo bar stretched across the top la a good preventive measure. Another ef fective plan is to go over the patch in the morning while the dew is on and the beetles cannot fly , knock them to the ground by giving the plant n slight blow and put a drop of kerosene on each one. Where any of these crops are raised on a largo scale the most effective remedy Is the use of "trap plants. " Plant the field to squashes a week or ten days before time to plant the main crop. The beetles arc especially fontl of squash plants and will gather on them In large numbers as soon as they come up. Just about the time the oth er plants begin to peep through the ground the squashes can be sprayet with very strong kerosene emulsion This will destroy both tlio squash plants and the beetles. There wll usually not bo enough of the latter lef In the neighborhood to do much dam age. She's Cured Thousands Given up to Die. Dr.OALDWElL of CHICAGO.
