Red bugs have appeared in large numbers at Poughkeepsie, says E. P. Felt, the entomologist, and should be found within a day or two In. north. Hudson These orchards farthest the insects are among newer pests, and as shown by the ex-' perience of the last few years, seriously injure or destroy considerable proportion of the crop.

Red bugs are generally distributed in this section, and orchards sparsely infested last year may be badly injured this season unless there is special treatment to control the pests. The earliest evidence of red bug presence is the indistinct, reddish brown spotting of the more tender, unfolding leaves. Near may be found one or more pale yellowish red or reddish bugs. At are only about one-twentieth inch long. Later the affected leaves curl somewhat and the brown-spotted areas dry and drop out, leaving a ser: les of irregular holes.

The young fruit is also attacked, frequently pierced to the and as growth continues, depressions with pithy centers extending deep into the tissues are formed. The damage may be so severe as to result in a large drop of small apples -in some cases half the entire set may be thus affected, of there may be a relatively large yield of mis-shapened, poor quality fruit. Orchards should be examined at once and if red bug injury is rather easily tound, the trees should be sprayed within a few days, perferably just before the blossoms open, with a tobacco extract such as black. leaf 40 used at the rate of 3-4 of a pint to 100 gals. of water.

This may be ap- 5 plied as a separate spray to which or 6 lbs. of soap are added to increase its spreading properties, or if the orchardist tobacco is willing be to added take to the usual risk, may winter spray for San Joe scale. In any event, now that the leaves are partly developed, it is also advisable to add to 6 lbs. of arsenate of lead to each 100 gals. of water for the purpose of destroying the early leaf feeders, such as tent caterpillars, canker worms and the bud moth.

MR. HOPKINS WINS OUT IN EAST. FISHKILL CASE In a decision handed own by County Judge: Arnold. on Thursday. Charles A.

Hopkins, attorney for nearly fifty residents of the Town of East won another legal victory on an action brought in behalf of the state and county engineering departments, which asked the approval of the court for the making of land" awards taken for a new Fishkill Plains-East Fishkill highway. Sixty taxpayers had filed a petition asking the County Court to withhold his approval. The reason set forth was that an old route was better than the new route, in the opinion of the objectors. Two hundred and thirty-seven taxpayers, besides the Town Board members, asked the County Court to approve the new route and the awards. Section 149 of the Highway Law, Judge Arnold decides, gives him no power to interfere in any way with the proceedings of the.

Board of Supervisors in relation to. this matter, and he therefore, refused to consider the merits of the controversy as between the two routes. He therefore approved the awards for property taken along the new route, which had, been mapped out and approved.
