De- foliation, especially when beaery,,pre- vents the maturing of the new wood of the tree. This may predispose the tree to winter killing the next winter. Because of its common eccurrence and damaging effects upon the trees themselves, this disease should be controlled in'every conunercial orch- ard: The first thing that should be done is to cultivate the orchard before the blossoms are out. Care should be taken to ',cover as many of the Old leaves as possible. In this way the amount of infection is materially res duced., Spraying with either lime sul- • phur, orbordeaux, will control this disease. Bordeaux is preferred by many growers. The 4-4-40 formula is strong enough and it eis effective against- yellow -leaf even at weaker strengths. Lime sulphur at • the strength of 1 to 40is effectioe. Iron sulphate may be added to the lime sulphur at the ,rate of one and one- fourth pounds to 40 gallons. This in: creases its adhesiveness and prevents burning. In order to avoid the early an& often very destructive infeetioes it is advised that the first application be made just as the petals are about all. off, or at 'east- a few :days later. Another application should be made from teecieto three weeks later accord- ing to the amount of vet weather.

Without attempting to offer any advice as to whether it is desirable to combine fruit growing with poultry, we may perhaps make some -sugges- tions aff to„ the relations of the hen to the apple tree, provided this com- binalion already exists. The most important one is to keep the apple trees in the majority: If the hen eget too prominent she may do the trees a deal of 'good, not only in keep- ing down e'ertain insect, pests but in keeping up the fertility of the soil. • lent like many other good things, it is very easy to overdo thiss one and get the soil of the orchard too fertile. In other words, although it is all right to keep hens in the orchard, it ie a mistake to try to grow fruit trees in a hen yard. Jue.t how many liens one may profit- ably have ver acre of orchard will vary greatly with the soil. On a light, hungry, sandy soil one could safely use far more than on e heavier and more fertile soil. The deciseon should be made, just as we decide other types of orchard Sertilizing, by watching the • growth of the trees. If the leaders are making around a foot of growth • per year the hen population is about right. If it is more, reduce the num- ber of hens or take them out .of the orchard altogether for a season. It might also be suggested that the litter -from a hen yard or house makes excellent orchard fertilizer if used with judgment, basing one's decision in the serneway on the type of growth you are getting on the trees. -1-41.

Flies are lred in any filth they can find. Consequently, keeping the farm clean helps to keep them out of the house. Screens and swatters are nec- essities. Occasionally the home is lit- erally swamped with these disease carriers; especially is this true before a rain or a cold snap. I frequently. burn or sprinkle insect powder about. This stupefies the flies, which are swept up immediately and burned. A poison I use effectively is one table- spoonful of formaldehyde added to one and one-fourth cupfuls of cool water. This I leave out in a flat dish all -night, as flies drink early e in the morning. • Flour beetles and weeeHe are found quite commonly in -flour and cereals during the warm weather. They have an uncanny liking for cornmeal. After one of these insects gets into, the house it is difficult to exterminate les pro- geny. I' darnine all flours and ceteale- as soon as they are purchased and re- turn the -infested products at once If , the insects get a start I immediately' dispose of the flour or cereal and thor- oughly wash the containers. The stor- age places I keep well ventilated, as these pests like damp, close quarters. Crickets seek houses for warmth and food. As you know, they fre- quently cut holes in fabrics. The best way to discourage them is to keep all food covered. Clothes moths may be avoided by, having the woolen garments cleen. when they are put 'away and storing -- them in a light, airy place. Occasion--; ally during the sunimer I air the woolens. Certain reesellents are effec- tive if the moths have 'not started to work. Among these ere moth -balls, ceslar`sha-vings, tobacce, the printers' ink on newspapers, and insect powder. I have a new collapsible cedaeized chest of heavy paper in which I pack away our best coats and suits dining 'the summer. For the girl who has no hope chest, one of these cedarized con- tainers would be a splendid substitute. Carpet beetles enjoy woolen rugs, especially red ones.
