In the garden this is controlled by shearing off the tender tops of the plants after a cluster our two of pods has formed. English gardeners remove all "suckers" which spring from the roots, for the same reason, and to get better pods. The aphids find it difficult to infest the older bark of the beans. The other pest is the garden ant, which carries the aphids to “fresh fields and pas- tures now" on stems and roots: and if the season is dry. satisfies its thirst by gnawing the neck of the plant and drinking the sap which exudes. Sometimes I have seen beans wilt from this cause.

State Game Warden) Uncontrollable conditions have greatly reduced the supply of that wonderful and most beneficial game bird the bob-white, in Maryland areas, ‘The very severe winter of 1936 undoubtedly took a large toll of these species of up- land game as well as other species. The State Game Department can- not alone bring back an adequate supply. We must have the coopera- ation of aninterestcd public. The sportsmen can cooperate in this matter by contracting the farmers trying to get them interested in leaving corners along their fence- rows or along or near wooded areas or by not burning brush which is out but pile same and fur- nishing adequate nesting sites for the coming spring. Game restoration must be prac- ticed if we expect to increase and maintain a supply, not only of up- land game but song and insectivor- ous brids as well. We appeal to the farmers of our State to leave nest- ing sites for ground-nesting birds and small game animals and rec- ommend planting of beneficial seeds and trees which are neces- sary for iratural food for the maj- ority of species of wild-life. We recommend the planting of all or a part of the following: bush- clovers; lespedeza; partridge peas: pines; ragweed; beggaxweeds; oaks: milk peas; corn; cowpeas; soy- beans; sumacs; wheat: hogpeanut; black locust; snapweeds; pcspalum grasses; sideseed grasses; sweet- giéfi grapres: dewberrles; black- ea; wild chgi-ries: bavberries: waxmyrtles; flowering dogwood; wild beans; smariweeds; bristle grasses; sesban; danglepod! sas- safras; wltchgrasses: nut sedges: huckleberries; blueberries; deer- berries; tupelos: black gums; crab- grasses: violets: hollies; ilex; blue- curls; buttonweed; poison ivy; pec- nut: blueweed: butterfly pea: sorghum; beautvberry; morninq glories; stingnettle; sheep sorrel: dock ;ancl other green-food plants; Mexican clover; vetches.

In my own experience of this art I found it easy to acquire and a most valu- able aid in taking memoranda of notable occurrences. I never cared to go beyond 70 words a minute. but together with the precis-writ- ing, I could put down in one hour. what would have taken me six hours to transcribe verbatim in ordinary "longhand." Think of thc advant- age in such a matter as prepar- ini: notes for examinations! I have said that a knowledge of shorthand is easy to acquire: and it is "up to me" to prove it from my own experience. During my term as Pupil Teacher in the Old County I devoted my morning recess (or "Playtime." as the children called it) of about ten minutes. to the study °f the "shorthand ‘Peacherl’ a little six- penny book of elementary studies. As there uiss riobodv in the dis- trict who knew shorthand, it had all to be puzzled out and it took about 51X or seven months to inas- ter the book. 'l'hen I tackled the “Manna? and by the end of two years I had a good working know- ledge of the system and could cor- respond with other shorthand writers.

All tpo often vigorous plums of great promise die from expos- ure w the winter conditions that prevail in this northern laiitude, states R. G. White. Student As-- sistant, Domiiiiuil Experimental Station. Fredericton, N. B. Undoubtedly the primary re- quisite for good liillllttfflllg is to have well ripened bushes before cold weather sets in. In a dry year this usually occurs automatically, as the season ndvnnces. A wet year, however, may prolong growth to the danger point. Over such conditions the gardener has no control, but fertilization and cul- tivation should be so timed as to induce proper ripening of the current season's wood. Recent in- formation seems to indicate that well nourished plants ivinici" bct-, ter than starved ones. provided good maturity of ilie wood is ob- tained. Roses have been grown at the Fredericton Experimental Station for over fifteen years. During that time some losses have been sus- taincd, but in general the plants have wintcrcd well. In discussing protection one must bear in mind that killing occurs more from dry- ing winds and alternate periods of freezing and thawing, than from actual cold. Thus, the grow- ing parts should have u covering that will protect these nrcns from such conditions. Rugosas and polyantha roses are hardy. but the hybrid perpetuals. and hybrid teas must have protection. At one time the roses at the Station were wintered by trenching the plants deep in the ground. ‘They wintered qui e well, but the work involved great, so this method was abandoned for the equally effective. yet much simpler method of mouncllng up Just before the ground freezes, the stems are tied loosely together to irrevciit the snow from brciikiiiu ilicm clown. and the bushes are their mound- ed with earth to n height of from eight to twelve inches. This earth is taken f1'om_ be- tween the plzints. No additional covering is given ilnlcss the llcd is manurecl. The practice is not to prune any of the bushes in the nutuinn as this might cause the cx- posed tissue to dry out. In this way the roses whiter quite well, last winter not a plant died. _Dur- ing a year with n slight fnll of snow, as occurred in 193G. the loss runs up considerably. A precaution against a light snowfall ‘would be to use ndrlitionnl covering in the form of evergreen boughs, or leaves to protect the plants and hold the snow, these to be put on nfterlthe ground freezes. Soggy materials should be avoided us‘ they tend to blacken and rot the wood.
