Time Frtilt Reaches Size of Cherry If Aphids Have Not Been Killed Crop Is Practically Destroyed. fl Jew Serial Story Coming legis-lautre- NO READER e can afford to miss the splendid new serial story we have arranged for. C. E. SANBORN, OKLAHOMA AGSTARICULTURAL EXPERIMENT TION) HBy Every year, about the time that the trees of this state begin to foliate, they seem to become infested with a dark colored louse, which has white marked legs and antennae. This Infestation generally Increases in severity until the time that the young plums are about the size of a cherry. If meantime, the aphids have not been subjected by their natural enemies, or by artificial remedies, the plum crop Is practically destroyed. The presence of these lice is often first noticed on account of the unthrifty or sorry appearance of the tree. Its new growth is distorted, the leaves are more or less corrugated snd crumpled together on the ventral nr lower side. The terminal bud Is stunted and its growth Is sometimes abruptly terminated. Many of the blossoms are often killed, and in cases where the infestation is severe early In the season, no fruit is set, since the peduncles of the blossoms become colonized to such an extent that the food material in its passage to the young plum is all withdrawn by the sucking processes of the lice. The form which begins the colonization on the plum tree In the early spring is known as the stem mother, and hatches from an egg which was placed there the previous fall. Tljese forms being few in number are not often observed. They are, In general appearance, however, very much like the progeny which accrues from them except, that they are more globular In shape, have shorter antennae and honey tubes, and never acquire wings. plum necessary to do a thorough and complete job. In order to do this, good s spray pumps, provided with nozzles,-- are necessary. At any tims after the eggs have been deposited In the fall, and before the buds begin to swell In the spring, the following spray should be used: Lime, 15 pounds; sulphur, 15 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Mix the sulphur with a small quantity of water to form a paste; place in an Iron kettle or a similar vessel with enough water to form a thin solution; add JJhe lime after slaking It, and Loll the mixture fol about forty-fivminutes, or until it becomes dark amber In color; this diluted according to the formula, should be applied to the egg infested trees. It will not only destroy the eggs, but such other insects as bark lice or scales that may be present. first-clas- Every Turn DISCOVERIES OF GREAT VALUE Chemists Have at Last Found Secret of Making Fertilizer From Nitrogen of Air-H- ow It Is Done. (By CHAS. C. WENTZLER.) Chemists have at last discovered the secret of making fertilizer from the nitrogen of the air. Repeated efforts to recover free nitrogen has baffled scientists for years but both Italy and Germany now have factories for making cyanide or calcium, a cpmblnatlon of nitrogen and chalk or lime. The principal difficulty heretofore has been to secure a chemical cheap enough for commercial purposes which would surrender Us nitrogen readily so it would be suitable for agricultural purposes. Nitrogen has a strong affinity for lime. This fact Is taken advantage of by chemists In making the fertilizer. Air Is passed over chemically treated limestone and the nitrogen is Imprisoned while the oxygen and other elements escape. The limestone, which has been treated with chemicals is heated In retorts, electricity being used to liberate the nitrogen from the air. In combination with carbon nitrogen forms the cyanogen or cyanide which is so deadly in combination While the grasses with certain minerals.
