York county has always been
regarded as a railroad county.
For years her vote has been cast
in state conventions and in legis
latures for railroad measures and
railroad candidates. The reason
for this has been the inactivity
of the voters. The other day a
direct primary was held in this
county to nominate county officers
and to express a preference for
United States Senator. The re
sult is that Norris Brown re
ceived more than twice as many
votes as did Rose water , Crounse ,
Currie and the others combined.
Consequently York county will
cast its solid vote in the state
convention for Brown as will
every other county where the
people have been permitted to
express a choice.

Agricultural Department Endeavors to Exterminate
Orchard Pests
Story of the Pests tlmt Rnin Millions in Orchard Crop Values Yearly
The Department of Agricul
ture of the United States is con
ducting various and extended
experiments in the fruit belt for
the extermination of the colling-
moth and the apple scab , tlie
experiments this year lor this
count } ' beiny conducted at the
John Gilligan orchards under
the immediate supervision of
Mr. Dudley Moulton , special
agent of the Bureau of Ento
mology.
As these experiments are of
great and specific value to all
fruit raisers and orchadists The
i
Tribune lias prevailed on Mr.
Moulton to give the work fur
ther publicity in this suction by
writing for The Tribune articles
in connection with the work
and the progress of the experi
ments. The Tribune is pleased
to present today the first arti
cle by Mr. Moulton , illustrated
by plates that will be of value
to the orchardist. The article
follows :
"Apple growers of southeast
ern Nebraska are well aware
that their apple crop will be al
most if not an entire failure
each year unless something is
done to check the ravages of
the codling-moth , the worm in
the apple , and the apple scab.
It has been demonstrated re
peatedly in other places that
both of these pests can be check
ed to a large degree. Our pres
ent experiments and demonstra
tions in southeastern Nebraska ,
a part of which is centered on
John Gilligan's home at the
edge of this city , are to prove
to apple growers of the various
sections that certain well pre
pared and properly applied
sprays , at moderate expense ,
will bring immense returns at
harvest time in the shape of
clean and marketable apples.
The purpose of this article is to
emphasize certain points in the
a , adult inotn ; b , eggs ; c , lai
enlarged ; c , pupa ; f , me
life-history and habits of the
scab and the moth which must
be considered if we are to check
these pests intelligently , and to
tell when and why from the
present stage of our experiment ,
sprays ought to be applied. We
will not at this time consider
the mixing of the sprays or the
methods of applying them , as it
would render this account too
long and hide its purpose , and
too , this account , available for
all , will undoubtedly be pub
lished after the work is com
plete.
The two factors , the scab and
the moth , are very different in
appearance and in their meth
ods of injuring apples , but they
can be controlled largely by a
combination spray , the Bor
deaux mixture , to which is add
ed a poison such as Paris greener
or arsenate ol lead , and this fact
renders spraying rather a sim
ple matter.
Apple scab is caused by a
small parasitic plant , a fungus ,
which grows on the outer apple
surface and which penetrates
barely below the skin. Its
spores begin to germinate immediately -
mediately after fruit buds open
in the spring , which time is a
few weeks before the blossoms
open. Tlie fungus is first appar
ent as a dull green spot on fruit
or leaf and later this spot on
the fruit becomes the charac
teristic hard "scab. " After a
scab spot has appeared oil an
apple no amount of spraying
can remove it , hence it is abso
lutely necessary to apply at
lea t one spraying before or
just at the time the disease is
starting. Scab forms a hardened
area on the skin which hinders
a normal growth. This causes
ill-shaped fruits although the
quality of the rest of any scabby
apple is not materially changed.
The worm in the apple is the
not yel mature stage ol a small
moth , known as the codling-
moth , and in brief its life-history
is as follows : Moth appear in
the spring shortly after the
trees blossom , or in other words ,
begin to come out shortly after
the first of May. They mate
and the males die , while the
lemales after about four days ,
begin to deposit eggs on the
fruit and leaves of apple trees.
After about seven days a tiny
worm issues from each egg and
immediately eats its way into
an apple. If the egg has been
placed on a leaf the young worm
on hatching hunts about until it
finds an apple when it , like the
others , eats its way into the
fruit. The \\orm remains feed
ing inside the fruit until it be
comes full grown when it crawls
out and hunts for a place to
hide and spin its cocoon. This
is usually under scalings and in
cracks of the bark but if some
burlap or other band is placed
around or in the crotch of a tree
a large number of worms will
gather under it and may thus
easily be trapped. Immediately
on finding a suitable hiding
place each worm spins a cocoon
within which it changes to the
pupa. The insect is now in a
quiescent-non food taking stage
and during its several days of
continement changes and linally
rva ; d , pupa , all somewhat
oth , both natural six.e.
comes out the full-grown moth.
The growth from egg to adult ,
during the summer , occupies
about live weeks. The adult
moth is active and Hies about
at will. Its High I is erratic and
rapid but it does not naturally
lly over any long distance.
After mating , as before , immed
iately the males die while the
females lly about and place
their e&gson apples and leaves.
By the time this second brood
appears , apples are quite half
grown. The adult female lives
about two weeks in this adult
stage. She dies immediately
after placing her eggs. We
cannot say how many times this
life-cycle is repeated during a
single year in this section of the
country but probably not more
than twice or at most three
times.
The last worms of the season
leave their places of feeding in
the apples as do the earlier
broods. 11 'apples are still on
the tree the worms crawl down
and hide in the crevices of the
bark , if the apples have fallen
the worms crawl along the
round back to the tree and go
up until they too have found a
suitable place in the bark.
Worms may crawl to nearby
fences or into any nearby rub
bish and there spin their co
coons. In southeastern Ne
brusku we need hardly 10 take
into account these winter forms
which hide on the trees , for ul
most invariably they are hunted
out by birds , 1 have found j
numerous cocoons secreted un-
der cracks in the bark of trees
in the open Held but thus far
without exception every cocoon i
has been empty and a hole in
the center tells that a bird has
taken the worm. If all of our
apple worms sought out of door
places such as these , the con
trol of the moth would not con
cern us so much as its natural
enemies could keep it largely
under control.
Many of the late brood of
worms still within the apples
are stored away in cellars or in
barrels or bins or wherever
apples are stored. On reaching
full growth these worms too
leave the apples and seek a
place to hide. Now it is in
cracks of the cellar walls or
lloor , between the staves and
under the hoops of barrels , erin
in any wood or rags or rubbish
which may be near. Finding a
suitable place each worm spins
its cocoon and in this worm
stage and within its cocoon ,
each passes the winter , remain
ing thus lor several months. As
soon as the warmer weather of
spring comes these worms
change to pupa. ' and soon issue
forth as active adult moths.
Such as these are the first new
moths of the season. They
leave their hiding places in cel
lar or barrel or bin and lly out
to the orchard and we find them
placing eggs on apple trees and
thus thev start the new brood
which increases in numbers as
the season advances. Moths
are coming from their winter
quarters from the first of May
to about the 20th of , Tune. If
it were possible to close in with
screen the various apple cellars
and bins during these few
weeks , much as we screen
buildings to keep flies outthese
captured moths would soon die
and not spread themselves
broadcast each year to re-stock
our orchards with worms. This
would bo a cheap and rather
easy thing to do and the cod
ling-moth pest would undoubt
edly be greatly reduced. In
handling and storing our apples
we carry the worms to places
such that their natural enemies
cannot reach them and we in
turn must resort to artificial
means to protect ourselves. At
it is now. the only real effective
way which the farmer has to
protect himself is to spray hif
trees and try to kill the very
small worm as it enters the
apple.
The codling-moth is a dul
gray with a brown spot on the
tips of each wing. If yon care
to you can gather a few wormj
apples and put them in a fruit
jar and tie a piece of cloth over
the top , and after a few week ?
you will find moths emerging
The moths are rarely seen in the
open field.
Apple growers can save i
large per cent of their appl
crop from the destructive seal
and codling-moth by a compar
atively little forethought ant
work and it is the purpose o
the present investigation am
demonstration which is beinj ,
carried on by the Bureau o
Entomology , to show to apple
growers just what these bes
methods of control are.V <
present this merely as an intro
duction and ask growers o
apples to watch our work to sec
if it will pay them to do the
same for themselves on anothe
year.

SOME IRONING HINTS.
Standing on nn Old Cushion Hosts the
Feet Other Suggestions
Badly Needed.
An old cushion to stand on prevent. " )
the feet from tiring on ironing day.
Iron delicate tints with a moderately
cool Iron , lor a hot Iron will lade
them.
The middle of a line handkerchief
won't swell out like a balloon If tlie
middle instead of the edges Is ironed
llrst.
Moisten stuiched clothes slightly yet
evenly , and It will not bo so dlflicult
to iron them dry. I notice when hems ,
gathers and tucks are not Ironed dry
as possible , the damp portions become
rough whllo drying , which Broils their
appearance. Wo like the small irons
best for ironing milled and yokes.
The lit as well as the appearance of a
Hue , delicate garment is often spoiled
by bad ironing. Do euro the fabric lies
in its right lines , and the material is
not sti etched or biased. Pull and
straighten with the lingers every rulllo
and &prig and dot In embroidery be
