Checking Apple Leaf Hoppers 



The apple leaf hopper, a destructive 

 insect that occurs in nearly every stale 

 of the Union, may be materially check- 

 ed by a single spraying with 40 per 

 cent nicotine sulphate in the propor- 

 tion of one to 1,500, combined with 

 soap, according to the bureau of ento- 

 mology of the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. The solution 

 should be applied against the first- 

 brood nymphs. The same treatment 

 made three or four weeks earlier is 

 effective against the rose leaf hopper, 

 though this species is seldom injurious 

 enough to justify a special application. 



The apple leaf hopper causes serious 

 injury to apple nursery stock by ex- 

 tracting the plant juices from the 

 terminal leaves. As a consequence the 

 leaves gradually become undersized 

 and fail to function normally, thereby 

 retarding the growth of the trees. The 

 rose leaf hopper feeds on the lower 

 leaves and produces white or yellow 

 spots on them. 



Embargo on American Apples 



The American consul genernl at Syd- 

 ney, Australia, is in receipt of a com- 

 munication from the Department of 

 Trade and Customs of Australia, stat- 

 ing that the question of lifting the em- 

 bargo on the importation of ajiples in- 

 to Australia has been carefully con- 

 sidered, but that in view of the large 

 stocks held at present in Australia, it 

 has been decided not to permit im- 

 portations of apples this year. Inns- 

 much as the market for imported ap- 

 ples in Australia is favorable only dur- 

 ing the months of October, November, 

 and December, the question of lifting 

 the embargo in .January is not of im- 

 portance. Early fruit from Queens- 

 land and New South Wales is on the 

 Australian market at that time and the 

 prices fall rapidly. According to the 

 Canadian Weekly Bulletin, it is the 

 opinion of some dealers that hereafter 

 Australian growers who have stored 

 fruits for late markets and high prices 

 will strongly oppose importations even 

 in the month of October, which would 

 leave two months only for importation 

 from abroad.

There's nothing saved 

 by chewing ordinary

 and its good taste lasts 

 all the way through. 



Little chew — lasting — 

 satisfying. That's why 

 it's a real saving to buy 

 this class of tobacco.
