Little Activity in Building — Increase in Bank Clearing, The clearings of the Hartford banks for the past week in comparison with the same week of last year show an increase of 6.2 per cent. and those of New Haven for the same period an increase of 3.7 per cent. Sales of real estate by warranty deed in the cities of the state re- ported in The Commercial Record for the past week numbered 474, which compares with 448 a vear ago. Mort- gage loans for the week totaled $I.- 235,076, as against $1,603,915 last year. Petitions in bankruptcy for the past week numbered four, with total as- =ets of $12,235 and labilities of $18,37S. A year ago in the first week of August six petitions with assets of $8,459 and liabilities of $26,377 were filed in Con- necticut. New companies formed during the past week in Conmnecticut numbered five, with total authorized capital stock of $382,000. This record com- pares well with that of a year ago, when eight new companies filed cer- tificates of organization, with total capital stock of $410,000. During the wgek in the citles of New Haven, ridgeport, Hartford, Watefbury, Stamford and New Bri- tain building permits were issued to the number of 120 for new construc- tion work to cost $310,605. Last year 135 permits were issued for construc- tion work to cost $328,250.

Experts Say Apple Trees Do Better if Not Touched. There is some question in the minds of fruit growers in regard to summer pruning. Many orchardists favor the idea, while a great many _successful men will have nothing to do with it. Recent experiments, however, do not give proof of sufficient advantage gain- ed from summer pruning of young apple trees to warrant going aheal with it this season. Bulletin 140 to the Utah experiment station discusses at length the experiments conducted by that station on the pruning of young apple trees. The summary states That summer pruned trees average less marketable fruit per trees than either the winter pruned or unpruned trees. The experiment was carried through four years on nine plots laied out e¥n- ilarly and arranged to bring out several distinct facts. The bulletin also states that summer pruning in the orchard has proved neither profitable nor suc- cessful in increasing crop yields. Al- though the experiment is only in its ‘irst stages (four years being too short a period to decide the matter) there seems to be sufficient evidence to war- rant these statements. The summer pruning extending throughout a pe- riod of two months, between the third weck in June and third week in Au- gust, produced no favorable results. On the other hand, all winter pruned orchards did exceptionally well. The thinning of apples is more and more coming into common practice as it is proving successful in the local orchards. Although the thinning comes at a time when the orchardist is very busy with other work, it has been tried out on several orchards with great success. This season in partlcular seems to be an excellent opportunity for testing the practical side of thinning. SeRct several trees which are of uniform size and age whose foliage is4n good condition and which have all had the same treatment in regard to fertilizer and cultivation. With these condi- tions in view, it will be very easy to practice thinning on one or two of these trees and compare the results in the fall. time in this matter may produce su.$ satisfactory results that it will change the entire plans of another year. Recently an orchard was found which earlier in the season had been loaded with young apple sets and 30w the drops which have accumulated un- der the trees have brought forward statements to the effect that there would have been still less apples on the tree if they had been thinned earlier. This is no argument against thinning of apples. All the drops which are now on the ground are the result of some insect which has punc- tured the apple, retarded its growth, and caused it to dle. Three of these apples are liable to drop from one branch and none from another. Thus. although they reduce the total load on the trees, they do not affect thm distribution of weight or the possibili- ty of producing higher color by having individual apples six or eight inches apart and distributed along the branch. ‘The time for thinning is not fixed definitely, but it may be done any time from the latter part of June to the latter part of July. As a general rule the thinning of apples should be ddhe as soon as possible. This allows a greater amount of plant food to be utilized by the apples that remain on the thinned tree. However, this should not be carried to extremes by thinning the bloom instead of thinning the ap- ples, which of course 15 out of the question now. To thin the fruit on the trees and leave the apples a definite distance apart ie a difficult manner. One may think he has taken off too many ap- ples, and at picking time wish he had taken off more. Study each tree in- dividually. Thin so that the tree will hold up under a load of good sized apples. It is well to begin at the top of the tree and work down. If there is any difference in distances to be made it would be better to thin six or eight inches on top and nine or ten inches nearer the bottom in the more shady part of the tree. Take off all terminal apples from long, slender branches. A good type of thinning shears can be obtained on the market ‘which are sharp pointed.

Be sure that every branch is thinned to enable each apple to grow to its proper cize and color. As a rule, if one apple is left every six or eight inches and no clusters of two or three allowed to grow, the weight of the mature fruit on the tree will not be too great, and every specimen will be well grown. In- sects will not be able to pass from one apple to the other, and the process of thinning will tend to reduce the num- ber of apples which contain insects, because the smaller and less valuzt@y apples and those with blemishes on them are the ones to remove. BEANS AND PEAS. Don’t Forget to Save Part of Your Surplus for Planting Next Spring. “Don’t forget to save beans and peas out of your eurplus for the planting next spring,” is the advice which seed experts of the United States depart- ment of agriculture are sending to home gardeners and market gardeners in Connecticut. “Many market gardeners have beans or peas which they find it unprofitable to consume or to sell in the green state at the present time,” declared a de- partment expert today. “They want to use the ground for later planting and there is a temptation to plow under the whole crop. This, however, should not be done. It is better to save the crop, provided the stock is satisfactory, as it can be used for seed next year. Beans or peas in quantitles bevond what is needed for seed can be used for food.” It is not difficult to handle and cure the vines and pods of both peas and the seed has reached full e the vines and pods are the vines should be cut with a scythe or sickle or pulled by hand. Thev can be cured by merely spreading on the ground until well wilted. If the crop is large, the vines should be stacked on ground covered with rails or brush and tied against stakes driven in at intervals a few inches apart. After the beans smlipeas are dried they can be threghed and the seed recovered. In the emergency campalgn for the conservation of perishable fruits and vegetables the department of agricul- ture is laying stress upon the necee- sity of providing for an adequate vege- table seed supply for the 1918 planting season. PLANT LICE. Considerable Damage Dene This Year on Garden Grops by Insects. Potatoes are being affected by an insect known as the ‘“Potato Stalk Borer.” The signs of injurv that can be made out readily are the turning brown of the tops and a tendency for the plant to he bent and be wilted. This is caused by an insect, a moth, that has laid its eggs on the plant and this egg has hatched in the form of a small caterpillar and bored -Into the stalk, not far from the point where the egg was laid. This caterpillar in- creases In size and bores up and down on the inside of the stalk. This, of course. weakens the plant and in some cases kills it outright. The remedy or control measure in this case is very difficult as there is comparatively little opportunity to control the insect by spraving, owing to the fact that the insect feeds on tissues inside the plant rather than on the exterior. The remedy that Is best adapted for the control is to make a short incision, running length- wise with the stalk and on flnding the sreen and brown caterpillar remove and allow the plant to recover if po: sible, not making.any longer cutting than is necessary. In some cases the stalk heals, but in many cases the plant will ale. In order to reduce this pest for the following year it Is best to rake up all of the old vines after the crop has been harvested and burn them. There has been considerable dam- age done already. this year upon the potato, the tomato, peas, cucumbers, cabbages and several other garden crops by insects known as plant lice, or aphids. These are not in all cas- es the same specles of insects, but there are slight variations shat are @efinite endugh to have each kind given w particular name. In some cases the same species attack plants that are closely refated. There are at least 325 different speclés in th America. The larger number ese are green in color, and have an aver- age length of about one-elghth of an inch. Some of them, however, are :)h.c others pink, reddish, or yel- ow. !mudotawn:th.lmtllkothtpn- caterpiliaza, thess tato beetle or some | the leaves: street. 1221—1527 Harry Blum, 25 Main street. 1222—2358 John Kovalenko (his x mark), 18 White street. 1223—2553 Gaferis Hanhaelis, 53 Thames street. 1224—2825 H!!Il'y Lflwh Greiner, 606 Mai 12252914 Banard G.

After the leaves have been attacked for a period of time, this curling or rolling of the leaves occurs, and it makes it nearly ¥mpos- sible to reach the insects wth any spray material. For this reason it is very important to attack the insects as_early as possible. Many of these species pass the win- ter in the egg stage and hatch when the foliage comes out, or not until the middle of the summer. These rro- duce the young in a few days after hatching.
