duafug the flocking periods in June
and July do they eat cultivated

as Loon as they are ripe, form the
grimier part of their food.
Woodpeckers are often suspected
of damaging trees by their drillings,

truetive woodboriug insect. Wood-
peckers are amaug the most valu-

CABBAGE MAGGOTS

turnips, and radishes, The adults,
whlich are two -winged fiies, lay

maggots can be controlled by the
use of corosive sublimate, which
may be procured at moot see't
houses, and teben used is diluted in
water at the tate of one ounce
to .10 gallons. As the subllatate
loses mach at its strength when
brought into contact with nletais,
it should be mixed in and applied
from glass, earthenware, or 12ood-
en vessels. This point is very ha
portant.
Two or +tlu'ee days after the
cabbage and 'oandifower piar,ts
have been set. out in the field, or

poured over the stems and around

DAMAGING BY JUNE BUGS
It ilas been a ooinmon idea that
the ",June bag," adult of the white
grub, did no serious damage to
foliage. But observations Made
last year where these beetles' were
ffying 111 large numbers, put a new
light ou the subject,
These beetles fly at night and
feed upon. the foliage of trees) and
shrubs. Upon the approach of
dawn they fly to grasslands where
they enter the soil and remain
hidden until nightfall. Therefore,
the owner frequently is at a loss
to explain tate source of the dam-
age. The tops of some birch trees
were seen to be practically defoliat-
ed within a week after the beetles
appeared. Oaks, walnuts, hickory
anti many other. trees were damag•
ed also. Young trees have been
saved by jarring them at night
when the beetles' are flying and col.
letting •them on Sheets spread an.

Mutt of 'these beetles' as well as
their larvae the white grubs, and
but for their habit of hiding dur-
ing the day, they would doubtless'
have been exterminated long ago.
This protective nocturnal habit
saves them, Some do get "snared
up" during 111e day and caught. The
robin 'frequently gets one of these
beetles' and tears him to pieces.
FIELD CROP PROSPECTS
Crop conditions' in Ontario at
the end or the first week of June
were decidedly promising. Seed-

early this season and germination
was very good, with the result
that most fields have a very even
