There is no definite rule that can be
laid down with reference to the time
at which winged insect pests of the
orchard deposit their eggs. Some are
night flying Insects and deposit their
eggs at night; others are active only
during the day, and deposit their eggs
during that time. The codling moth
is one of the night flying Insects and
begin to deposit eggs late in the
evening, just about dusk, and continu-
ues most active throughout the early
part of the night. The curculio on
the other hand, is most active during
the day, remaining inactive at night.
The same holds true with reference to
the general activity of insects. As a
rule the moths fly only at night, while
some of the beetles are most active at
night and others during the day.

oak and other woods. They exist in
all kinds of trees, but in many, as, for
example, the chestnut, they are so’fine
as hardly to be seen with the naked
eye.
It is correct to speak of the rings of
growth as "annual rings,” for as long
as the tree is growing healthily a ring
is formed each year. It is true that
two false rings may appear in one
year, but they are caused whenever
the growth of the tree is interrupted.
This happens when the foliage is de-
stroyed by caterpillars and grows ;
again in the same season, or when a
severe drought in early summer stops ,
growth for a time, after late frosts,
and in similar cases. ,
An annual ring once formed does
not change in size or place during the
healthy life of the tree, except that it
is covered in time by other younger
layers.

There is no reason why potatoes

Frequent stirring of the soil is said
to be a good preventive of rust form-

A liberal application of ashes to the
soil where cabbage plants are grown
is a preventive of clump root.

Great Beauty and\Fragrance of Sweet
Peas Make Them Most Popular—
Must Have Support.
Sweet pea vine* must have good
support. Brush branches suit them
better than anything else, but these
are not always easy to get A good
substitute for brush is very coarse
meshed wire netting.
As soon as the plants begin to
bloom begin to cut from them. The
more blossoms you cut off the more
you will have, If care is taken to
remove the blossoms as soon as they
begin to fade, the plants will continue
to bloom until frost comes; but if
seed is allowed to ripen, you will have |
but few flowers during the latter part
of the season.
In cutting sweet peas give the flow- I
ers as long stems as possible. Never
crowd them in vase or bowl. Just
bunch them loosely in the hand, am
then drop them into whatever is to
hold them, give it a shape, and lo,
your flowers will have arranged them-
selves to perfection.
No garden should be without some I
sweet pea vines. The great beauty
and fragrance of the blossoms make |
them one of the most popular of flow- I
er*.

Melon growers around Rocky Ford.
Colo., where canteloupes are grown
extensively, find that the best way to
fght melon aphis is to burn the in-
rested vines just where they are. At
least every other day they get over
their patch of vines and look for the
very dark green color and swollen,
watery appearance of the leaves of
the plants. A little later the leaves
tnd vines take on a black, powdery
cast that no one can mistake. The
leaves curl under, but do not begin
to wilt sometimes for days.
By keeping careful watch and de-
stroying the plants as they show the
presence of aphis, one can usually
control the pest. Scatter straw over
the infested hill and burn at once.
To attempt to carry the vines to the
edge of the field will simply spread
the insect.
After burning a hill keep careful
watch over adjoining hills, to see that
i he Insects have not spread. Of
course, the same treatment is recom-
mended for cucumbers.
