Snakes Wanted 
You have such good luck in getting un¬ 
usual information that I conic to you to 
see if I can find where I can buy snakes 
(not alive), or at least their heads. I 
can got old rubber lose for their bodies. 
I have eight nice trees loaded with Mont¬ 
morency cherries, and the robins and cat¬ 
birds eat all I he cherries, even before they 
are ripe. These ripen before the wild 
cherries and there are no others around 
here, so I shall not get any unless I eau 
scare the birds away. It seems to me as 
though a metal snake’s head, with bright 
eyes, would sell well to cherry and berry, 
raisers. Perhaps you can find some toy 
shop that makes or will make them.

This is an idea. Wo have seen some¬ 
thing like it tried with fair success. We 
always thought a bird ought to know that 
common snakes do not climb trees, bur we 
think the robin a dunce as well as a rob¬ 
ber. We know that a stuffed cat will not 
frighteu a robin: perhaps an imitation 
snake will answer. Almost any of the 
large department stores can furnish try 
snakes. 
Apple Pomace on the Rye Crop 
Last April you published my letter re¬ 
garding rye grown on poor sandy land 
with apple pomace as the only fertilizer. 
Some farmers thought the rye would not 
mature. I am sending you by parcel post 
two samples of the rye. I am having it 
cut today. The heavier samples were 
grown on Ihe sand with apple pomace. 
The light growth was taken from soil 
without the pomace. I think the apple 
pomace wins. ciias. w. westervelt.

R. X.-Y.—The two samples of rye came 
and were carefully measured. The oue 
said to be grown on soil without the 
pomace measured 3 ft. 5 in. The other 
measured 4 ft. 10 in., and the straw and 
the seeds were larger and stronger. The 
soil around the roots was a very light 
sand. We knew there was some plant 
food in apple pomace, but it is usually 
quite sour, and we thought this might 
affect the rye. The size of those plants, 
however, is a better argument than any 
theory. It is not likely that wheat or 
clover would show any such growth. 
Most of us know that xye will do far bet¬ 
ter than wheat in a sour soil. 
Second Crop Fruiting of Raspberries 
I had some Cuthbort raspberries that 
bloomed late last Fall. They were new 
sprouts that should have fruited this 
year. All these canes had some fruit on 
them at time of pruning (October). This 
Spring all canes died. The dead canes 
were removed to favor new sprouts. Did 
the second fruiting cause this? IIow can 
I prevent this year’s stand of canes from 
acting in the same way? This seems to 
be a common trouble here Ibis year. 
Winsted, Conn. a. a. r. 
In many sections raspberry bushes 
bore small crops last Fail at the expense 
of the Spring crop. Due to the holding 
off of killing frosts until October many 
other plants, especially the Spring wild 
flowers in the woods, bloomed during the 
early Fall months. This is at the ex¬ 
pense of Spring blooming, and can be re¬ 
tarded in some degree by allowing a cover 
crop to grow on tbr ground from July 
on until Fall. This cover crop, be if 
weeds or grass, draws out ihe moisture, 
thus causing the wood to ripen and the 
plants to go into Winter in a good con¬ 
dition rather than a soft condition, where 
they freeze easily and die back. The 
frosts will undoubtedly come earlier an¬ 
other year and help ns have our fruit in 
the Spring at the normal time rather than 
in the previous Fall. t. h. t. 
Anthracnose and Cane Borer on 
Raspberry 
We have two patches of Cuthbort red 
raspberries. Can you suggest some rem¬ 
edy for the effects and prevention of cane 
borer and anthracnose? Is there any 
powder or liquid spray we could use? 
< bie patch is new cane, one transplanted; 
these expected to bear next year, and the 
“parent” patch full of bearing and new 
canes. MRS. A. u. w.

The cane borer can only be controlled 
by cutting the infested canes just below 
the point, of injury on the cane; that is. 
below where the egg is laid. All such sec¬ 
tions should be burned. Anthracnose is 
•'< disease affecting both raspberries and 
blackberries, and can be controlled by 
spraying the foliage and stems with Bor¬ 
deaux mixture. A 5-5-50 solution is used, 
repeating the spray every two weeks.

Consider What Chevrolet Equipment Means: 
Standard Rear Axle Construction. The 
new Superior Chevrolet has the strong, 
quiet. Spiral Bevel Gear Axle that “ctands 
the gaff” without breaking. 
Standard Transmission — three speeds for¬ 
ward and one reverse. 
Standard Braking System — foot service 
brake, hand emergency brake. 
Standard Electrical System: Starter, storage 
battery, Remy ignition, electric lights front 
and rear, on battery circuit. 
Standard Cooling System —pump circula¬ 
tion, large, honey-comb radiator and fan. This 
means a cool, efficient engine, saving gasoline 
and oil and ensuring driving comfort. 
Standard Instrument Board, containing 
speedometer, ammeter, oil pressure gauge, 
lighting and starting switch, and choke pull. 
Standard Type of Carburetor, with ex¬ 
haust heater—one reason why you get most 
miles per gallon of gasoline with a Chevrolet. 
Powerful, Valve-In-Head Motor. The same 
type as used in successful cars selling at much 
higher prices. 
Demountable Rims —extra rim on side. No 
trouble to change tires on a Chevrolet. 
Full Weather Protection —Waterproof cur¬ 
tains let down on sides and rear, fully protect¬ 
ing driver and load against rain or snow. 
Flexible windows in curtains. 
Many Other Advantages which will be 
noticed on inspection, comparison and demon¬ 
stration.
