Canker Worm Trap 
Our section is infested every Spring 
with great hords of canker worms upon 
our fruit trees, and many of the trees 
about the house. They seem to have 
ways of circnni venting all traps and 
tanglefoot*, and to their early appearance 
in the warm days of February and March 
usually catches the owner of the tree un¬ 
awares. As the female of the species is 
wingless, and must walk up the tree, 
while the male is a small winged miller 
in appearance, and flies up. the tight is 
to trap the female as a small wedge- 
shaped bug with spider legs, whose whole 
ambition is to go up, and never retreat. 
This Spring I have made some traps of 
my own to protect the line maple trees

Pyrox invigorates the vines so the tubers have 
longer period in which to grow big, fat and fine 
in quality. 
Pyrox kills the bugs, prevents blight and many 
rots. Positively stops the cause of dry rot. 
Pyrox is distinctly different! In it is a power* 
ful fungicide and a deadly poison, combined 
chemically for greater potency. You buy it as a 
creamy paste. It mixes easily; stays long in sus¬ 
pension; goes through finest nozzles without 
clogging. Sticks like paint on the foliage.

about the house. It is a very simple 
thing, as will be seen by the sketch. A 
hand of old cotton hatting was rolled up 
to about the size of one’s arm, and put 
about the tree, and slightly held in place. 
Then a strip of common fly screen netting 
wire about 1*1 in. in width was wrapped 
about the tree to cover the batting. A 
hay wire was then brought about the 
screen snugly, so as to prevent a chance 
of getting behind the cotton, and also 
bringing the screen against the cotton 
The screen should be sprung out from 
the tree at the bottom. Then the cotton 
was saturated well with common crude 
machine oil. The result is that the little 
hugs come up under the screen, and in 
crowding up and attempting to crowd 
in between the cotton and the screen 
they are quickly saturated with oil. Then 
their upward crawling is over. j. g.

Transplanting Trees 
Last Fall we hired a man who under¬ 
stood how to replant trees; therefore we 
had him take some evergreen trees from 
the woods and plant them on our lawu. 
The tree.- are fairly large, and I am un¬ 
der the impression that they are getting 
a little yellow for the past few days. 
The trees were planted the following 
way: First we had a deep hole dug. con¬ 
venient enough to let the roots lie in a 
natural way. The gardener also put 
enough soil to cover the roots, and then 
cow manure was spread over. We then 
had the hole covered up with soil for the 
second time, a little higher than the 
ground. Within a few weeks we had the 
trees well covered up with cow manure 
in order to have the ground around the 
trees kept warm and from freezing. Dur¬ 
ing nil this time we kept the trees well 
watered; that was before we spread the 
manure around them. A few trees are 
taking pretty nicely, but would like to 
have them all take hold, as they are so 
placed to have them make an entrance 
way. Will appreciate any advice as to 
the method used to help tlmm grow and 
revive some of them. Is there any chem¬ 
ical used for that purpose? I. r. 
We transplant trees either in Winter 
or in early Spring. For Winter planting 
we prepare the holes in the Fall, then fill 
the holes with manure. When the ground 
is frozen we dig out the tree with a hall 
of earth and move it to tly? new location, 
where the manure is removed and the 
tree sot. As the ground thaws in the 
Spring the earth is packed, and with our 
large trees, say 20 ft. high, the earth is 
watered twice weekly throughout the 
growing season. We have lost few trees 
by Ibis method. Smaller trees are set in 
the Spring, the soil firmed and a mulch of 
dust placed over the top. In the case 
stated by I. II. if seems as if the trees 
had been over-manured. With the small 
roots just starting to grow injury would 
come through the use of too much nitro¬ 
gen. 1 should have let the ground freeze, 
as this is nature’s normal process. The 
only remedy at present is to water heav¬ 
ily. being sure there is good drainage.
