POLLENIZING CUCUMBEES. 



I have been reading in The Review 

 of June 16, page 46, the article under 

 the head of "Cucumbers Do Not Ma- 

 ture," in which Z. & G. tell about the 

 failure of their cucumber crop and are 

 advised by The Review to keep a 

 swarm of bees in the cucumber house. 

 Now, I have had the same trouble as 

 Z. & G., and evidently for the same 

 reason, the lack of bees to pollenize the 

 cucumbers. 



I have about three-quarters of an 

 acre in cukes, on land which I want to 

 plant with carnations later, and I can 

 not get a single cuke off the whole 

 plat. So I have lately resorted to 

 artificial pollenization, but what will 

 that amount to, on so large a plat? 

 Practically nothing. I am about five 

 miles from the center of San Antonio, 

 Tex., and have not seen half a dozen 

 bees, and not one bumblebee yet. I 

 think, however, that hereafter I will 

 not have the ventilators in the house 

 protected with netting, to keep the 

 bees off the flowers in pots, for several 

 reasons. One of my neighbors has just 

 plowed about one and one-half acres of 

 cukes under, for the reason that he

Jamestown, O. — H. C. Frenker deco- 

 rated the car that won first prize of 

 $100 in the automobile parade at 

 Xenia during the G. A. K. encampment. 

 He received the prize money from the 

 satisfied owner. 



St. PatU, Minn. — A. G. Ruggles, as- 

 sistant state entomologist, says that 

 cutworms are creating this spring more 

 havoc than ever before, reports of 

 damage reaching his office from all 

 parts of the state. The best course is 

 to plow infested land as late as possible 

 in the autumn, in which case exposure 

 to the rigors of winter destroys the 

 cutworms.
