The young shoots of the grape du ring the spring months in some dis tricts will often be observed to sad- denly break off or droop and die, j and if examination be made a small hole will be found just above the base of the withered shoot, with a burrow leading from, it a short dis tance into the main stem. Within the burrow will be found the culprit in uie iorm oi a peculiar cylindrical brown beetle about a half an inch loner. This beetle has lonj? been known as the apple twig-borer, from its habit of borino" into the smaller brancnes of the apple in the manner described for thf ornnfl.

Much complaint of a11? thankful to Mr. Brown tor his her sister, Mrs. Will Harris this beetle is always received during prompt attention. : at Spring Dale last Monday. the winter and early spring, if re quently all ths new growth is killed, and in some cases vines have been entirely destroyed. It is extremely common in the States bordering the Mississippi, from Iowa to Arkansas, and also in Texas, often becoming throughout this reg'on the most im portant insect enemy of the vine. It also occurs eastward to the coast, but rarely causes much damage in its eastern range. It breeds in dying wood, such as large pruning, diseased canes, and also in dying or drying wood of most shade and fruit trees. It has been found by the writer breeding very a bundantly in roots of uprooted maples and in diseased tamarisk stems. In old, dry wood it will not breed, so far as is known, nor in vig' orous life growth, but seems to need the dying and partially drying con ditions mentioned. The insect has! but one brood yearly. The beetles mature for the most part in fall, and j and generally remain in their larval burrows in "the fall and construct others in the twigs of apples or other plants in which to hibernate. In the Rnrin?. however, they begin their destructive work early, burrowing i rr7 intoliie axils of the grape and occa- saine districts in 1804 gave Repub sioiTAy also into other plants.

This means the careful removal ami burn- J ing of all diseased wood and prun ing at least by midsummer, thus de stroying the niateri.il in which the lar v;e are probably undergoing their de velopment, if precautions of this sort are neglected and the L tie ap pears in the vineyard in spring, the only recourse is to cut out by hand every affected part and destroy the beetles. On warm days they may sometimes be collected in numbers while running about the vines ricultural Bulletin. -Ag- i (To be continued.) Advanced Education. Thursday evening, Prof. Dodson, 0f the Chattanooga Normal College made a short address at Owen Church in the interest of advanced studies by forming local classes or clubs unner Uid direction of the In stitute he represents, the idea being I tor classes to engage a lecturer tor a series and than analyze .and discuss it at their meetings. it at their meetings.
