WHEN TO PLANT EVERGREENS Best Time to Put Them In Ground Is Early in Spring Just When Season's Start. A New Jersc\ farmer w rite* to know whether it will l>e safe to plant ever *reena in August. The best time In plant evergreens is early in the spriiv: Just, win n the new season's growth is starting. It Is a mistake to plant too early and if the planting is dela; pci until Jun > the trees are not apt to do well unless frequently watered and mulch ■ I dur ing the summer months. Some planting is done in August, ' but we do not believe the Inexperi enced can make their trees row when planted so late. t Nurseries frequently put out their ' evergreens In July and August but more from net- -dty than choice he-, cause they are too busy during the bp ring months to do the work. When evergreens are plant'd kite | they should be thoiouehly water- d and a dust nm'ch innlnt. 'tied around the roots until wink r :■ is in. It Is difficult to tell by the looks of the trees whether t!i<-y • urvive dur r the Into summer montl or n t very often II r\ re. tin 11 r v ml some time nfs- r they are d a i. In the spring trees that die turn brown within two or t w ■ s The time to plant ever reens, 1 . in our opinion, ill t'.e : i ! :i • i d we see not reason why fall planting should be resorted to unh through necessity. HANGER FOR PICKER'S PAIL Fruit Growers Will Find Device Illus trated Very Handy When Gath ering the Crops. Fruit growers win find the kink il lustrated to ho all that is desired for holding a puli or a basket to the limb of a tree while thoy are picking and throwing (lie fruit Into the hanging receptacle, says Popular Mechanics. A stout cord or small rope is spliced Into a ring or loop and tills is given n loop around tlio bail hk shown In the sketch. The oilier end of the rope is thrown over a limb and passed between the intervening strands and held with a common nail. Tills rope Fruit Picker's Pail. has the advantage over a hook, as It Is easier to make and when made will fit nny size limb. Prevention Better Than Cure. Preventive measures are always more practical than remedies, whether It tie in fighting crop and fruit pests or diseases which assault the herds and flocks. In lighting fruit pests it will be a great deal more effective to remove and destroy the Infested fruit this year than to try to overcome the pest next year by spraying. Tills is especially true of the codling moth. Remove and destroy the worm-eaten apples as soon as they fall lo the ground, and there will be a great deal less trouble next year. White Plume Celery. White plume celery is making con siderably more growth in the Pennsyl vanla state college plantation than Golden Self-blanching, planted at the same time, but the latter variety is better in quality. r- " Remove every dead tree from the orchard. They are veritable breeding places for fruit pests. When spraying do not work with bare hands. They'll be sore if you do. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. An orchard will live longer, bear better and be more profitable by be ing well cultivated and enriched. A light shade is needed now over almost everything except chr.vsanthe mums and some varieties of roses. Roses recently cut back, taken up and re-planted must be judiciously watered at the roots but plentifully sprayed overhead. Thin the growths on the dahlias. One or two good strong shoots will throw more flowers and better than a .score of crowded ones. Easter lilies just advancing for ■bloom should be fed with liquid ma nure. changing to clear water when the budB are well formed. Now that the fronds on Adiantum cuneatum are getting heavy and well developed great care is necessary in spraying and It is easy to overdo it. Spraying with nicotine in bright weather and sprinkling with tobacco powder when dull are the readiest methods of destroying black fly In chrysanthemums. Bud roses now. Choose healthy vigorous stock. A very pleasing ef fect Is had by inserting buds of dif ferent varieties, generally teas, on the same stock. This makes a fine show ing. HOKfKlIK INJURIOUS ELM-LEAF BEETLE Prompt Action Necessary if This Pest Is Eradicated B fore Trees Are Damaged. No one who lias elm trees Infested with beetles should* trust to natural j checks to eliminate them.

Spraying against the adult beetle rather than its larva Is further urged because the beetle eats the entire leaf tissue and therefore gets the poison whether it is on the upper or under surface. The larva eats only the cells of the under side and scrapes to the middle only. In consequence any leaf not covered on the under side may mature a dozen larvae unharmed, even though the upper surface may he uniformly and effectively coated. When we have large trees to deal with tho problem of hilling the underside of every leaf becomes an almost Im possible one to solve, while merely covering every leaf on one side or tho other is a comparatively simple mat ter. Or. L. <). Howard obtained from Montpellier a shipment of a minute parasitic wasp, Tetrastlchus xantho melaenae, which seems to be very effective in keeping down this shade tree pest In tho vicinity of Parts and other portions of Frame. The habits of this little wasp attacks and devel ops in the eggs of the beetle and Dr. Howard believed that, could the insect he acclimated in tlie United States it j T._f 'm- w Parasite on Eggs of Elm-Leaf Beetle. a. egg pithhi'x on leaves; b, larvae feeding, c. adult; e. egg-mass; g. larva' J. pupa; k. beetle; f. It, i. I. enlarged de tails. would probably do equally good work here. The parasites have been distributed and the tests are progressing. It can not be determined in a short time, what the effect of these parasites will be, but good results are looked for. GROWING THE CATALPA TREE Will Be Big Enough for Telephone Poles or Fence Posts in About Fifteen Years. Going in for a eatalpa grove next spring? These trees will grow into telephone poles and fence posts in about fifteen years. An acre of ground will produce from 11,000 to 4,000 fence posts and such posts are now worth about 18 cents each. In fifteen years they will probably bring twice as much, as timber is becoming more scarce every year. One year old trees are the best to plant. Be sure they are all healthy and come not too far from home. Buy none but the va riety known as "Speciosa." You will have to pay about $10 per 1,000 fbr good trees. The ground should be plowed and put in as good condition as for corn. The rows ought to be about eight feet apart and perfectly straight. Use a corn marker to set them just right. After they get a good start cut them back nearly to the ground. Don't be afraid to cut, as they will be all the stronger for the pruning. On good soil where trees are not too much crowded they will grow from five to seven feet the first year. Some of the railroads are going into eatalpa grow ing to get a supply of good trees, but there Is not much danger of overdo ing the business. Market Letter. Kansas City, Nov. 15,1910 Reducer! supplies of cattle the first days of last week resulted in stronger prices up to and including Wednesday, but. the run turned out heavier than esti mate:! every day aft r Tuesday, which injected discouragement into the market, and the dose of the week found beef steers IB to Jit) lower, butcher cattle It) to 15 lower, stocken and feeders weak to 25 lower. Packers' ceolets are said to be empty, as killers have made no attempt to stock up during the sea son of heavy run: for the reason that plenty of P d beef is in sight for the whiter. While this may be true, u i the. killers ai a dlad va'itt;: •• . and indicate a more or I • uneve n market during the win Hr month.

Cows Bell at $3,50 to $5,00, can m rs $2.85 to $3.40, bull i $3.50 to $4 50, calves $4,00 to $8 25, and some fancy feeders above this. Hogs closed last week thirty cents lower than close of previous week, on an average. Diagnosed, the de cline is more than that on light weights, and considerably less on heavy hogs, which two classes have been traveling toward each other dur ing the past week. Liberal marketing of light hogs at eastern markets is the cause, and traders predict a still further narrowing of the price range. They also predict lower prices, and say that the market will not be set tled till it lias dropped below the eight dollar mark for the best. Run today is 4,000 head, market 5 to 10 lower on most sales, but the close was better, with tho loss regained. Heavy hogs sold at $8.00 to $0.20 and lights $8.35 to $8.45. .1. A. RICKART, L. S.
