until frost. Rake up the vines and burn 
them soon after the crop is gathered. 
Standing corn stalks, so commonly seen 
in the Middle and Southern States, form an 
ideal winter home for all the insect enemies 
of corn and other crops. The corn stalk 
borer passes the winter in its cell in the crown 
of the plant and underneath the bases of the 
leaves and in the hollow stalk are chinch 
bugs and other corn insects. Many people 
have assured me that where they had plowed 
out, raked up and burned the corn stubble, 
they had been comparatively immune from 
many of these pests which seriously injured 
neighboring crops. 
Even the well known Colorado potato 
beetle passes the winter under the old potato 
vines left lying in the fields. Stir around 
the loose surface soil at the base of an old 
vine in any field where the beetles have been 
numerous and you will probably find from 
one to a half dozen of them curled up for 
their long winter’s sleep. 
In the orchard most of the fallen apples 
are due to the codlin moth caterpillar and 
the apple maggot or “railroad”? worm, 
which will mature if the fallen fruits are 
not destroyed. From the fallen plums, 
which its injury has caused to drop, the grub 
of the plum curculio emerges when full grown, 
and enters the earth to pass the winter. 
Hogs and sheep are therefore of great value 
in an orchard, but it these are not available, 
see to it that all fallen fruit is destroyed and 
leave none on the trees, even though it is 
valueless, upon which insects may feed and 
fungus diseases develop.

The card index idea applied to the col- 
lection of wild flowers. Each series com- 
prises about fifteen folders into which you 
are to put a pressed specimen. ‘The folders 
are 4x7 inches, and each one contains a 
picture of a flower, with a full and interesting 
description, and blanks in which you are to 
record where and when you find each flower. 
It is planned to cover all the important 
flowers in eight series, each of which costs 
twenty-five cents. It is the most ingenious 
scheme of the kind we have ever seen, and 
in our opinion is worth twice what is asked 
for it, but such devices, however, rarely 
achieve great popularity. Being neither 
books nor stationery in the ordinary sense, 
they flow poorly along the regular trade 
channels.
