Currants 
Many people are prevented from growing 
either gooseberries or Currants on account 
of the currant-worm that eats the foliage and 
prevents the fruit from maturing. These 
pests are the easiest controlled of any of the 
insects that feed on the foliage of plants and 
trees. The worms go into the chrysalis state 
un the ground under the bushes and the eggs 
are laid on the leaves near the base on the 
inside of the bush. The small worms com- 
mence to feed as soon as the leaves are de- 
veloped, During their early existence they 
are not ntoiced, but ina few days of warm 
weather they spread all over the bush and 
then seem to eat up every leaf ina day. The 
remedy is to sprinkle the bush with water to 
which a little Paris-green has been added-- 
just enough to give it a sea-green color--as 
soon as the leaves are fully grown, and re- 
peat the dose in a week or ten days, to make, 
sure of the womrs.
