H. A. SURFACE, State Zoologist. Is It Necessary to Bag Grapes A grape grower in the eastern part of Pennsylvania wrote to State Zoolog, ist, H. A.

Surface, Harrisburg, and asked "Is there any remedy to get good I left some out last year, and every one was stung. Please lei me know if I can grow grapes without such great work as bagging them To this Professor Surface replied as follows: 'Grapes will ripen as well outside of paper bags as in tnem. me oDject for placing them in bags is to keep Cherry; to construct a eaten Dasin ai pests away from them and keep them Tpnth and Ponn: brick gutter on clean. You can spray with prober fungicides and insecticides and keep the grapes healthy in this manner, and thus avoid the necessity of bagging. Commercial grape growers do not pras tice bagging, as it is more economical in savine time and money to spray in street on North Eleventh from But stea)3 0f to take the time to place them ton wood to Greenwich; to notuy tne Reading Transit Company to repair the paving on Sixth between Bingaman and Spruc 3, Eighth street between Chestnut and Bingaman; to notify property owners to set curb from 322 Linden street south to Elm; to iset curb on Thirteenth between Walnut and Elm; repair sidewalk at 1027 Green; to place gutters on Washington east of Mulberry to to lay crossing at tenfoot alley Second isoiith of Douglass; to reset curbs on Spring between Rose and Fourth.

COAL REGIONS I Notwithstanding that there were several heavy rainfalls recently the supply of water at the dams of the Ashland water 'plant is dwindling. The superintendent has issued a notice of warning to consumers to prevent waste. Mrs. William T. Davis, one of Mintra ''vllle's oldest residents, died at the horn's of her daughter, Mrs.

David Hammer, of Third street. Potts ville. i August Knecht. of this city, who retired from newspaper publishing several years aeo, and who continued conducting a printing establishment at 213 South Centre street, Pottsviile, has decided to quit that business. The silk throwing company operating a Mill in the Knell building, Tamaqua, is removing the machinery to Berwick, and will desert the Tamaqua plant.

A portion of the street in front of the residence of Dr. G. H. Boone, Pottsviile, caved in. So dangerous was the hole that the police force placed a red light at the Epot.

The personal property of the Schuylkill and Lehigh Coal Company at Moss Glen, near Brockton, was "sold under the direction of the reoeiver, William S. and under an order of the court. The company went to the wall. A number of Wilkes Barre capitalists were interested in it, under Colonel Pertcn, the manager. Thomas Flarenlgan, a flagman on the mountain crew, and residing in Palo Alto, was thrown from the rear of his engine while the same was rounding a curve in the St.

Clair yards. He was removed to the Pottsviile hospital where it is reported that he is suffering with contusions and lacerations only.

"If you had sprayed with an ounce of arsenate of lead In each gallon of water beginning about the time the fruit was the size of a small pea, and repeating this once every two weeks for three or four sprayings, your grapes would not have been stung. The insect you describe is the grape berry moth which damages a great deal of fruit in this State, but is easily killed by spraying with arsenate of lead. I advise bggging during but not before the blossoms drop.

Grapes that have been bagged are kept slean and should sell for a fancy price. If one can develop a special trade, such as these grapes will justify, it may pay him to place bags over them even though for market. It would scarcely pay you to attempt to place fly netting over a whole vine." Summer Spraying for Second Brood of Codling Moth. is the time of year that many Pennsylvanians are writing to Prof. H.

A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, asking if it Is necessary to spray their trees again during the summer for the second brood of tthe Codling moth which makes wormy apples, pears and quinces. To such inquiries Professor Surface replies as follows: It will be proper to spray your trees during the month of July with the dilute lime sulfur solution and arsenate of lead, using the hydrometer to test the lime sulfur and 'make it specific gravity 1.01. and use two pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of the solution. Much depends upon the condition of your trees and surroundings.

If there is much evidence of the first brood of the Codling moth in the young fruit, or any disease of leaf commencing to appear spray during July to help in preventing the second brood of the Codling moth and the further development of disease of leaf and fruit. If your leaves are healthy, and the growth good, and your young fruits show but little evidence of wormin'ess or the Codling moth, there will be no special need of this midsummer spraying, unless there are surrounding orchards near yours that have heen neglected ana which are sure to give a second brood of the codling moth this summer. Of course if such surrounding orchards are entlrer ly without fruit, they are unable to produce a second brood of the Codling moth, and you are free from a menace in this regard at present. "The mature moth of the first brood, that produces the second brood of the larva, or worm, will not fly far, unless infested or old orchards are quite near yours there will not be much danger, Our prao. and hence not much need of spraying Le J1 to prevent infestation from this source, grown to 4U fiUCn a jjul even muugji liic Byia.jlii& ju jyui own orchard has been very effective in preventing' plant diseases and the first brood of the Codling moth, if there is an old orchard quite near yours that shows diseased leaves and wormy fruit at the present time, it is very important for you to prepare to spray some time in July with the dilute lime sulfur and arsenate of lead, as mentioned above."
