How to control cabbage and onion maggots is shown in a letter recently issued by the agricultural extension division, University farm, St. Paul: 'n experiments at the farm last year and the year before this mixture was used for cabbages: Lead arsenate. % ounce; New Orleans molasses, *& pint; Water. 1 gallon. This mixture was sprayed over the plants every week, or twice a week in nny weather, from the time they were set out until May 20. For a sec- ond brood of the pests the spray was applied from July 1 to 20. A spray that has been used to des- troy the onion maggot at University farm is made of: Sodium arsenate, 1-5 ounce; New Orleans molasses, % pint; Water. 3 gallon. Such a solution, however, tends to burn the leaves of the cabbages. The barred-wing onion maggot is con- trolled by destroying all old, infested onions in the spring. The first indication of the cabbage or onion maggots is the wilting of the p'ant after the pest has attacked the underground parts. SHAPING TREES. In shaping trees, the orchardist must use his own judgment largely. Where the trees are very small care should be exercised not to cut away any por- tion of the tree which may affect its appearance in the future. Beginners should not start on' young or small trees, for mistakes on them are always costly. If you observe a serious fork in the young tree, it should be rem- edied at once by cutting away the one which you think will not make the best producer. If such a defect is rem- edied early in the life time of a tree it will scarcely be noticeable later, but to allow it to remain for any length of time is to injure and deform the tree permanently.
