As a comment upon the facts presented below, it is very gratifying to me to note that, besides the uninterrupted maintenance of its usual routine duties, the Bureau has this year developed a greater efficiency and usefulness than at any previous time since its organi- zation. A marked growth in popular appreciation of the service is shown by a large increase in the number of our voluntary observers, amore general demand for and appreciation of the weather fore- casts, and by the increasing frequency of requests for our publications, or for special data, which are received at the central office from a wide variety of sources. Among the latter may be mentioned the large interests now engaged in, or contemplating the production of the sugar beet in this state; an industry whose success depends largely upon specific conditions of temperature, rainfall and sunshine, so that it becomes necessary to learn, through this office, what portions of New York are best suited for its successful cultivation. Records furnished by this Bureau "enter largely into the State Engineer’s recent important discussion of water storage in the Hudson and Genesee river systems, in questions under study by the United States Deepwater Ways [Commission, and also supply the climatic data used by the State Board of Health in its monthly reports. Each year brings an increasing demand for meteorological 10 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THB records from city water boards, agricultural experiment stations, agricultural journals, courts of \law, physicians, engineers, teachers, and from many other sources which need not be detailed here. Although the limits of our appropriation necessarily restrict the work of the central office mainly to the routine of maintaining and operating the service throughout the State, substantial progress has been made in the reduction of the complete system of observations which have been carried on at this station since 1879; and it is intended to publish the results of this work at the close of the twenty years’ period 1879-1898. The laws of rainfall in this State are also being systematically investigated, and the results thus far attained will be found in the course of this report. The experimental work contemplated in the act creating the Bureau has not been neglected, as will be noted on a subsequent page. And in this connection, I wish to make special mention of the new hydraulic laboratory of the College of Civil Engineering of Cornell University, the most elaborate and extensive one in the world, and which is now nearing completion. It provides means for accurately gauging the flow of Fall Creek, whose water-shed of 117 square miles is to be topographically surveyed during the coming spring. An admirable opportunity will thus be afforded for determining the relation of rainfall to stream-flow, the rates of percolation and evaporation and many other subjects of great prac- tical importance. It may, however, be desirable to state that the work of this Bureau is in no way related to Cornell University. This false impression exists in some quarters, and is prejudicial to the interests, at least, of the Bureau. The connecting link of both institutions lies in the slender fact that the University furnishes, free of charge, the quarters of the Bureau, and as a seat of learning lends itself admirably to our purposes, owing to the access the officers have to its equipments, advice, and peculiarly advantageous conditions here presented for meteorological study. New YorRK WEATHER BUREAU. 11 It must not be forgotten that the suecess of our work rests pri- marily upon the fidelity of a large corps of observers and corres- pondents who receive no pay for their labors. The motives of public spirit and scientific interest thus manifested by so many per- sons will be gratefully acknowledged by every one who profits by the valuable data thus freely secured to the State, and this is indeed an incontrovertible proof of the intelligence and public spirit of our In no country of Europe such an experiment could have We have in this state an army of persons willing to give time, thought people. succeeded, nor would it have been feasible to undertake it. and labor — freely and faithfully — without other reward than the consciousness of contributing to the general welfare of our people, Meteorological Stations. — One hundred and three stations, rep- resenting fifty-four counties, are now equipped for observing both temperature and rainfall; an increase of sixteen stations over the number in operation at this date in 1897. Eighteen new stations have been established during the year, as follows (in order of date of equipment) :— Garrattsville, Otsego county, Mr. F. J. Campbell, observer. Elizabethtown, Essex county, Mr. M. B. Davis, observer. Watkins, Schuyler county, Dr. I. W. Brewer, observer. Ticonderoga, Essex county, Mr. D. M, Arnold, C. E., observer. Bouckville, Madison county, Mr. L. W. Griswold, observer. Penn Yan, Yates county, Mr. R. L. Eastman, observer. Lake Placid, Essex county, Messrs. J. A. & G. A. Stevens, observers. Cedar Hill, Albany county, Messrs. Schoonmaker and Son, observers. Auburn. Cayuga county, Mr. A. H. Underwood, observer. Alexandria Bay, Nunda, Greenwich, Fayetteville, Napoli, Liberty, Keene Valley, Alden, Schenectady, Jefferson county, Livingston county, Washington county Onondaga county, Cattaraugus county, Sullivan county, Essex county, Erie county, Mr. Geo. D. Miller, observer. Prof. J. P. Slocum, observer. Mr. Oscar W. Teft, observer. Mr. E. L. Parker, observer. Mr. Geo. A. Gladden, observer. Dr. J. E. Stubbert, observer. Rey. C. M. Perry, observer. Mr. J. W. Evans, observer. Schenectady county, Prof. Arthur Marion, observer. 12 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THD Observations have been discontinued, and instruments returned from two regular stations, as follows:— Lebanon Springs, Columbia county, aud Massena, St. Lawrence county. Mr. F. J. Campbell, formerly in charge of the station Bloomville, continues observations at Garrattsville. Twenty-eight special rainfall stations (equipped with rain-guages only) are now in operation, in addition to the regular stations. Two have been established during the year, namely : Lyndonville, Orleans county, Mr. F. Plummer, observer. Schenevus, Otsego county, Mr. C. J. Tipple, observer. The rainfall stations Demster, Oswego county and Tyrone, Schuyler county, have been discontinued. I note with regret the death of Mr. F. W. Squires of Demster, whose observations upon rainfall had been carried on for many years. All stations observing temperature are provided with self-record- ing thermometers giving the highest and lowest readings during the 24 hours preceding the observations, which are taken soon after sundown each day. ‘The mean of the highest and lowest readings does not differ materially from the average value for the 24 hours. More than 30 stations are provided with thermometers of the ordinary pattern, but suitably standardized, which are read three times daily (at 7 a.m., 2 p.m. and 9 p. m.) and thereby a very close approximation to the true daily mean is obtained. In the establishment of meteorological stations, especial care is taken to secure their uniform distribution over the State, as far as possible; but this has been difficult to accomplish in the thinly populated highland districts of northern and southeastern New York. It is satisfactory to record that this year persistent efforts have resulted in securing to the bureau three observers in the northern sections, while the new station at Liberty, Sullivan county, will furnish valuable data from the mountainous sections west of the Hudson. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 13 The System of Weather Forecast Distribution, under super- vision of the Central Office, now embraces 806 cities and villages in this State, representing an increase of 77 during the year. The forecasts are transmitted from Washington to 106 stations, and 46 of this number serve as distributing centers at which copies of the messages are made by means of a “logotype” or rubber stamping device, and immediately forwarded by mail to adjacent villages. Over 200,000 cards and letters (franked by the government) are addressed and mailed from this office annually, while the proper maintenance of the display stations requires constant supervision and correspondence. The ‘‘logotype” system of distribution continues to grow in favor, and, since the expense involved is slight, continued efforts will be made to extend its benefits throughout the State. A Weather Crop Bulletin was published on Tuesday of each week during the farming season, or from April 28th to October 2nd, inclusive. Information detailing the effect of current weather upon crop conditions was furnished for this publication by 80 cor- respondents, located in 48 counties, and representing all of the staple grain, vegetable and fruit products of the State. A specimen copy is appended to this report. The bulletin is in constant demand by grain and stock exchanges and Chambers of Commerce throughout the United States. The mailing list of the bulletin, numbering more than 770 addresses, shows a considerable increase over that of 1896; and since additions to the list are made only upon application, the public appreciation of the bulletin it sufficiently manifest. More or less complete extracts from the crop summary appear in about one hundred newspapers, and are especially welcomed by journals circulating largely among farmers. 14 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE The benefits to be derived from the erop-bulletin have never been more apparent than during this season, when a financial erisis and the remarkable diversity of weather, and hence the crop condi- tions, in various regions of the State and country, rendered it of especial importance that the farmer should be kept in touch with agricultural prospects beyond his own immediate range of obser- vation. Special work at the Central Office.—The collation, in tabular form, of the observations carried on at the Central Station during the past 19 years, has been recently undertaken. The table of daily temperatures is now completed, but in accordance with meteorolog- ical usage, its publication will be withheld until the completion of the 20 years period 1879-1898. The rainfall and other elements will be similarly treated, and will form the basis of a thorough descriptive study of the climate of Ithaca, which it is hoped may appear in the report for the coming year. A very comprehensive collection of rainfall records for the State at large is deposited at this office, and this data is now being systematically studied. The first paper, relating to secular or long- range fluctuations of rainfall, is nearly ready for publication. Modifications in the design of instruments in use at this station have been designed by the director and meteorologist, and the work has been executed by a mechanician temporarily employed for the purpose. The cinemograph, an instrument showing in detail the velocity of the wind during gusts, has required many changes, and is now much better fitted for its purposes than when purchases from the makers. Much consideration: has also been given to the design of a new sunshine recorder, since none of those now in use are at all adequate to the needs of agricultural investigation. New YorRK WEATHER BUREAU. 15 The staff of the Central Office comprises, as heretofore, a meteorologist, secretary and an assistant, detailed to this service by the United States Weather bureau. Additional temporary aid has been occasionally employed when the pressure of routine work required. EK. A.

The average atmospheric pressure (reduced to sea-level and 32 degrees Fahr.) for the State of New York during January was 30.11 inches. The highest barometer was 30.98 inches at Friendship on the 31st, and the lowest was 2y.40 inches at Buffalo on the 17th. The pressure was unevenly distributed, being lowest in the Great and Central Lake Regions. The average of the mean pressures at six stations of the National Bureau was 0.01 inches below the normal. The mean temperature of the State was 22.3 degrees, as derived from the records of 76 stations. The highest local mean was 30.2 degrees at Setauket, and the lowest, 13.9 degrees, at Saranac Lake. The highest general daily mean was 46 degrees on the 4th, the lowest being 3 degrees on the 25th. The maximum temperature reported was 62 degrees at Erie, Pa., on the 3d, and at Ogdensburg on the 4th, and the minimum was 26 degrees below zero at Saranac Lake on the 24th and 25th, and at Number Four and Ogdensburg on the 25th. The mean monthly range of temperature for the State was 64 degrees, the greatest local range being 88 degrees at Ogdens- burg, and the least, 44 degrees, at Manhattan Beach. The mean daily range was 16 degrees. The greatest local daily range was 63 degrees at Ogdensburg on the 18th, and the least, 1 degree, at Palermo on the 10th. The mean temperatures of the various sec- tions of the State were as follows: The Western Plateau, 21.9 degrees ; the Eastern Plateau, 22.8 degrees; the Northern Plateau 17.7 degrees ; the Atlantic Coast, 28.6 degrees; the Hudson Valley 25.1 degrees; the Mohawk Valley, 20.2 degrees; the Champlain 24 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Valley, 19.7 degrees; the St. Lawrence Valley, 19.2 degrees; the Great Lakes, 23.9 degrees; the Central Lakes, 24.2 degrees. The average of the mean temperatures at 25 stations possessing records for previous years was 0.3 degrees below the normal, excesses occurring at only 8 scattered stations. The mean relative humidity was 79 per cent. The mean dew point was 18 degrees. The average precipitation, as derived from the records of 104 stations, was 2.39 inches of rain and melted snow. The heaviest general precipitation, exceeding four inches, occurred on portions of the highlands east of the lakes, and near the coast; while in much of central and northwestern New York the amount was under 2 inches. The largest local amount was 6.78 inches at Palermo, and the least, 0.60 inches, at Eagle Mills, Rensselaer county. The average total snowfall at 63 widely distributed stations was 17.9 inches. The largest fall, averaging over 30 inches, occurred on the Northern Plateau, the least being about one-half that amount over the Central Lake Region and the Eastern Plateau. The greatest local snowfall was 53.0 inches at North Lake, Herkimer county. The average precipitation at 27 stations possessing records for previous years was 0.14 inches below the normal amount, exeesses occurring at only 7 scattered stations. The average number of days on which the precipitation amounted to 0.01 inches or more was 10; the storm frequency being greatest in western New York and on the Northern Plateau, and least in the eastern section. The average number of clear days was 7.6; of partly cloudy days, 9.0; and of cloudy days, 14.4; giving an average cloudiness of 60 per cent. for the State. The cloudiness was greatest in western New York, decreasing toward the east. The prevailing winds were from the west. The average total wind-travel at six stations of the National Bureau was 10,357 miles, New YorRK WEATHER BUREAU. 25 the values being generally greater than usual at both coast and lake stations. The maximum velocity recorded was 59 miles per hour at Buffalo on the 17th. | Distant thunder was noted at New Lisbon on the 4th, and on the 17th thunderstorms were reported from the extreme southwestern section, being violent near the shore of Lake Erie. Hail fell on the 17th and 24th, and sleet on the 4th, 5th, 10th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 20th. Auroras were reported from three stations on the 2d, and from one station on the 29th. GENERAL FEATURES OF THE WEATHER. The temperature conditions of January varied widely, mild weather during the first decade being followed by a period of large fluctuations until the last week, which was uniformly cold. Several stations reported maxima of 60 degrees or more on the 4th and 5th, while on the coldest day, the 25th, the minima reached 26 degrees below zero in northern New York. The precipitation over the greater part of the State was light, the number of stormy days being considerably less than usual. General rains occurred on the 4th and on the.17th and 28th near the coast ; but with these exceptions precipitation generally occurred in the form of snow. Warm waves on the 10th and 17th prevented the snow covering from remaining long on the ground in the central and southern sections; but during the cold period following the 23d the depth was greater than at any previous time during the winter, the high winds which prevailed at the time causing much drifting, especially in the western and southeastern counties. About the usual cloudiness for the winter months obtained dur- ing January. 26 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Our weather conditions were influenced this month by six areas of high, and seven areas of low pressure; the latter number being less than the usnal storm frequency for January. The depressions generally passed in the vicinity of the great lakes, and thence down the St. Lawrence valley; storms of this class being nearest New York on the Sth, 10th, 18th, 2ist and 23d. A deep depres- sion developed in the St. Lawrence valley on the 26th, and a severe cyclone passed northward beyond the coast line on the 28th. The first low spread over eastern Canada on the 4th, giving warm south- erly winds and general rains, turning to sleet and snow in the rear of the storm. The storm of the 18th also brought a warm wave, general light rains and snow, with the maximum wind velocity of January, and the gales continued with but little intermission until the end of the month. The three depressions which passed near New York during tbis period were strongly developed, bringing heavy snows in various portions of the State. The high pressure systems were principally felt in this vicinity about the Ist, 8th, 13th, 20th, 25th and 31st. All excepting the fourth were strongly developed, and gave a decided fall of temper- ature in passing over the eastern States. The high winds and cold weather of the last decade occurred coincidently with an extraordi- nary increase of pressure in the northwest, the minimum temper- atures for the month occurring on the 25th, when the anticyclonic system spread eastward to the coast. The highs generally followed a more northerly course than usual, passing centrally in this vicinity. Reports from 38 observers show that on the 15th the depth of snow on the ground averaged about 2 inches or less, although in portions of the Adirondack highlands a foot or more was measured. The depth on the 31st averaged about 10 inches, the measurements New YorK WRHATHER BURBAUD. 27 varying from 4 inches in the southern section to 36 inches in north- ern Herkimer county. There was little sleighing in central and southern New York until the last week. Plowing was carried on to a considerable extent during the first week, the frost being well out of the ground. The absence of snow during the variable weather which followed was considered trying to winter wheat. Ground water was generally low during the month. Large quantities of good ice was secured after the 11th. 28 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THR MerrorotocioAL Dara LOCATION OF STATIONS. STATION. See eee teens Friendship.... Franklinville..

The principal severe or killing frosts occurred on the 8th, 17th, 22d, 26th and 27th. GENERAL FEATURES OF THE WEATHER. The month, as a whole, was cooler than usual, the average tem- perature for the first and last decades being low, and during the intermediate period about normal. There was an excess of rainfall for the State, but its distribution was uneven, numerous and heavy showers occurring in the southeast and over other scattered sections, while in other localities, notably in the vicinity of Lake Ontario, the rainfall was very light. About the ueual cloudiness obtained for the State at large, but the percentage was above the average in portions of the southeastern and northern regions. Thunderstorms occurred frequently in the southern and central counties. Four areas of high and five areas of low pressure (approximately) influenced our weather conditions this month. Both high and low systems were sluggish in movement, and less energetic than in pre- vious months, the range of pressure being smaller than usual. ‘The following is a brief account of the pressure systems of the month: Low I, 29.6 to 29.8 inches over the Northeastern States from the 2d to 5th; general rains, some heavy showers in the Southeast. A fall of 15 degrees in daily temperature between 1st aid 4th, due to 9 130 NIntH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE High I, 30.4 inches, a large area moving slowly to the easters States before the 6th, passing slowly northeastward on the 7th and 8th, bringing severe frosts and fair weather, and on the 9th moving to the southeast coast, giving a warm wave in conjunction with Low II, 29.6 inches, reaching Canada from the west on the 9th, and shifting slowly over and north of New York until the 15th. General rains with thunderstorms occurred during this period, the maximum amounts for the month, with very heavy showers in the southeast, oceurring on the 12th and 13th. Rain continued on the 14th, being heaviest in the north. The warm period was terminated by , High II, 30.3 inches, moving from the western to the central and eastern States, between the 6th and 16th, remaining on the central coast till the 19th, giving generally fair, cool weather with light frosts. The area passed southward on the 19th to 20th, while Low III, 29.5 inches, moved over the lakes and down the St. Lawrence Valley, giving a brief warm wave and moderate rainfall, lightest in eastern New York. High III, 30.1 inehes, moved from the northwest to the easterm States on the 21st and 22d, giving a sharp depression of temperature and hard frosts on the 22d, afterward disappearing over the Atlantic. Low IV, 29.4 inches, over the Upper Lakes on the 23d, thence passing over and north of New York and New England on the two days following. Normal temperatures and showers, which were heavy in the south and east, occurred on the 24th and 25th. High IV, 30.4 inches, passing from the central States to the northeast on the 25th to 26th, brought fair and cool weather with frosts. Low V, 29.6 inches, extended from Texas to the lakes on the 27th, contracting and remaining over the northeastern States and Canada until the end of the month, the weather continuing cool and partly cloudy, with scattering showers. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 13t Farmine Notrs.— Vegetation, which was at about the usual stage at the opening of the month, advanced rapidly during the warm weather of the 1st and 2d, at which time fruit trees came into full bloom in warm central and southern localities. The temperature fell 5 to 10 degrees below freezing on and about the 8th, but little damage was sustained from frost. Cloudy weather and general rains between the 9th and 13th were beneficial to grass and grain, which were generally reported as being in fine condition, although meadows were rather poor in the north. The cool and cloudy or showery weather of the last 10 days seriously retarded the growth of small fruits and garden truck, and in some cases corn, potatoes, peas, etc., failed to sprout or rotted in the ground. Grass and grains, however, generally made a fine growth. Strawberries were exceptionally fine in the warmer and less rainy portions of the south- eastern counties. Injurious insects, especially the “ tent caterpillar,’ were unusually numerous this month. Miscellaneous notes, as furnished by observers at the following stations: Humphrey, fruit and forest trees were budding on the. 6th ; Wedgewood, bobolinks arrived on the 3d; Brentwood, peach trees bloomed in warm places on the 1st, plums, cherries and pears on the 4th, and apples on the 9th; Appleton, cherries in bloom on the 8th, apples on the 15th, first oriole seen on the 9th. New Lisbon, frost of the 8th hurt grass. South Canisteo, a noticeable discoloration of grain, clover and forest leaves from frost of 22d. Arcade and Alfred report that no killing frosts occurred. A freeze occurred at Watkins on the 8th. North Hammond reports a cold, rainy month; Wappingers Falls, cool, numerous showers, luxuriant vegetation, enormous strawberry erop; Number Four, a cold, cloudy month and much wind. An earthquake shock was generally felt at northern stations at about 10.15 p.m. on the 27th, and in a lesser degree at central sta- tions. At Saranac Lake the oscillations were felt about one minute.

The average precipitation for the State was 3.63 inches of rain, as derived from the records of 100 stations. The heaviest general precipitation ranging from 4 to over 6 inches, occurred in the eastern-central section of the State; while in the extreme western counties adjacent to the great lakes, and in a portion of the St. Lawrence Valley the amount was under 2 inches. The greatest local rainfall was 6.72 inches at Gloversville, the least amount being 1.03 inches at Madison Barracks. The average total pre- cipitation at 27 stations possessing records for previous years was 0.06 inches below the normal amount. The average number of days on which the precipitation was 0.01 inches or more was 9.7. The rain frequency was greatest in northeastern New York and in portions of the southern tier of counties. The average number of clear days was 11.2; of partly cloudy days, 10.6; and of cloudy days, 8.2; giving an average cloudiness of 48 per cent. for the State. The least amount of cloud prevailed in the eastern-central section of the State. The prevailing winds were from the northwest. The average total wind-travel at 6 stations of the National Bureau was 6,137 miles, the travel being generally in excess of the usual values for June, both along the Atlantic Coast and the Great Lakes. The maximum velocity recorded at the above stations was 53 miles per hour at New York on the Ist. Electrical storms (including distant thunder or lightning) were reported on 13 dates, as follows: On the 3d at 13 stations of all sections; on the 4th at 3 southeastern stations; on the 6th at Humphrey and Jamestown; on the 7th at Jamestown; on the 13th at 12 stations in eastern and northern New York, and near the southern border; on the 14th at 4 eastern stations ; on the 15th at 5 eastern and southwestern stations; on the 16th at 8 eastern stations; on the 19th at 5 southwestern stations and at St. Johnsville; on the 20th at Addison and 3 we New YorRK WEATHER BUREAU. 153 coast stations; on the 23d at Angelica; on the 24th at 10 stations in the northwest, 5 near the Central Lakes, and at St. Johnsville; on the 29th at Jamestown and Franklinville; on the 30th at 8 stations of the southern and southeastern counties.

This month was exceptionally cool, the temperature rising to, or above, the normal only on the 3d and 4th and the 28d to 25th. The principal cold periods oecurred-about the 2d and 21st, with daily temperatures 15 degrees below normal, and severe frosts in the southwest and also in some northern localities. The rainfall was greater than usual in much of the eastern and central sections, but much lighter in the west. About the usual rain frequency and cloudiness obtained for the State at large, fair weather prevailing generally. after the 10th. The continued low temperature kept vegetation in a backward condition throughout the mouth. Seven areas of high pressure, and the same number of depres- sions, influenced our weather this month. The lows were of small intensity, usually developing and moving eastward near or beyond the Canadian border, broadening out when over the northeastern States and coast. The highs were large but ill-defined areas, whose maximum pressures were usually under 30.8 inches. The follow- ing is a brief account of the pressure systems of the month: High [, 30.2 inches over the Upper Lakes on the 1st, high winds into a low (the last of May) on the northeast coast. The high pressure over New York to the Central Coast on the 2d, giving clear weather, and on the 3d to the southeast coast, forcing warm southerly winds into ; Low I, 29.7-29.9 inches, over the Upper Lakes on the 3d, spreading over Canada on the three days following, giving thun- derstorms or showers, heaviest in the east. 154 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE “~ High II, 30.3 inches, developed over the eastern Canadian Provinces on the 5th, and continuing near the northeast coast until the 9th, with cloudy weather. General rainfall on the 8th and 9th, being heavy in the west on the 8th. This area was immediately followed by High III, 30.2 inches, which passed from the lakes to the Central Coast, on the 10th and Ath, giving cool northerly winds toward Low II, 29.8 inches, passing northward off the coast on the 9th to 11th. Flooding rains fell in eastern New York on the 10th. Low III, 29.8 inches, passed along the northern border, uniting with IL on. the northeast coast on the 11th; light rain falling in eastern New York. The area was over Canada on the 12th, tem- perature rising slightly. Low IV, 29.7 inches, moving from the northwest, united with III over Canada on the 12th to 13th, light showers falling in New York. High IV, 30.0 inches, covered the Central States on dis 11th, then passed to the Southern States, and on the 13th to 16th spread northward to Canada, giving pleasant weather. High V, 30.1 inches, developed on the lakes on the 18th, passing to the Central Coast on the 19th, accompanied by fair weather. Low V, 29.6 inches, developed in the northeast on the 20th, when light showers occurred in New York. This area dissipated on the 21st and 22d and was replaced by High VI, 30.1 inches, over the Central States on the 21st, spreading over the coast on the two days following. It brought fair weather and severe frosts on the 21st and 22d. Low VI, 29.6 inches, moving from the northwest, became general over Canada on the 22d, shifting slowly over that region until the 25th. ‘The area brought a warm wave, while fair weather prevailed excepting on the 24th, when thunderstorms and high winds occurred in western New York. High VII, 30.2 inches, originating in the northwest, reached the lakes and Northeastern States on the 27th, bringing a decided fall of temperature. This area passed to the northeast coast on the 2th and 30th, the weather continuing fair until the latter date, when New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 155 Low VII, 29.7 inches, passed over the lakes and down the St. Lawrence Valley, giving scattered thunderstorms in the south and east, with rising temperatures. Farming Nores: The low temperature of June, with the cloudy, showery weather of the first decade, were reported to be favorable for grass and grains, which generally made a luxuriant growth. Small fruits and vegetables were kept in a very back- ward condition, although maintaining a vigorous condition in most _eases. Potatoes and corn seeding rotted in the ground to a considerable extent, making it necessary to replant. A large amount of hay was gathered in good condition during the fine weather near the close of the month. Wheat headed during the second week, and much of it was nearly ready for har- vesting by the end of the month. Cherries, apples, pears and plums were generally well set and grew finely; but “ tent worms,” which were very numerous, seriously threatened the apple crop, and various insect pests injured other fruits to a considerable extent. The strawberry crop was. good and very large in the southeast, where some berries were picked during the first week. Hops promised well early in the month, but later the prospects were less favorable. Tobacco was transplanted on or before the 26th, and also suffered somewhat from cool weather. Damage from the frosts of the 2lst was confined mainly to the valleys in the vicinity of the southwestern highlands. Miscellaneous notes from observers at the following points: Friendship, high winds during a thunderstorm on the 24th blew down and uprooted trees. Humphrey, strawberries blossomed on the 3d, blackberries on the 15th, rye heading on the 12th. Wedgewood, first fireflies seen on the 23d. o 156 NintoH ANNUAL REPORT OF THB Merroro.ocicaL Data LOCATION OF STATIONS. BAROMETER. Hominy.

The average atmospheric pressure (reduced to sea-level and 32 degrees Fahr.) was 29.94 inches. The highest barometer was 30.36 inches at Albany on the 19th, and the lowest, 29.60 inches, at Ithaca and Oswego on the 11th. The lowest mean pressure obtained in western New York, and the highest in the eastern section. The mean pressure at 6 stations of the National Bureau was 0.03 inches below the normal, the deficiencies occurring mainly at western stations. The mean temperature of the State was 72.1 degrees, as obtained from observations of maxima and minima at 79 stations. The highest local mean was 75.1 degrees at Canajoharie, and the lowest, 65.6 degrees, at South Kortright. The highest general daily mean was 81 degrees on the 5th, the lowest being 61 degrees on the 28th. The maximum temperature reported was 102 degrees at Avon on the 5th and 10th, and the minimum, 44 degrees at Elizabethtown on the 28th. The mean monthly range of temperature for the State was 41 degrees; the greatest local range being 55 degrees at South Kortright, and the least, 28 degrees, at Setauket. The mean daily range was 19 degrees. The greatest local daily range was 45 degrees at Straits Corners on the 2d, the least being 0 degrees at Cooperstown on the 28th. The mean temperatures of the various sections of the State were as follows: The Western Plateau, 71.4 degrees; the Eastern Plateau, 71.0 degrees; the Northern Plateau, 69.2 degrees; the 12 178 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Atlantie Coast, 72.8 degrees; the Hudson Valley, 73.6 degrees, the Mohawk Valley, 72.3 degrees; the Champlain Valley, 71.6 degrees; the St. Lawrence Valley, 73.2 degrees; the Great Lake Region, 73.3 degrees; the Central Lake Region, 73.2 degrees. The average temperature at 25 stations possessing records for previous years was 2.4 degrees above the normal, New York City alone reporting a deficiency. The largest excesses occurred in central) New York and along the Lakes. The mean relative humidity was 79 per cent. The mean dew point was 64 degrees. The average precipitation for the State was 6.81 inches, as derived from the records of 104 stations. The least general rainfall, under 3 inches, occurred in portions of western-central New York and the lower St. Lawrence Valley; while in much of the eastern section the amount exceeded 10 inches. The maximum local rainfall was 18.18 inches at Setauket, L. L, and the minimum 2.20 inches at Mt. Morris. A list of heavy rates of rainfall will be found in the table of Meteorological Data. The rainfall for the State was 3.26 inches above the normal, as derived from the records of 26 stations possessing records of previous years. The greatest excesses obtained in the south and east. The rainfall exceeded any previously recorded at 9 stations, located principally in the south and east. The average number of days on which the precipitation amounted to 0.01 inches or more was 14.4; the rain frequency being greatest in eastern New York and least in the western- central counties. The average number of clear days was 10.0; of partly cloudy days, 10.6; and of cloudy days, 10.4; giving an average cloudiness of 52 per cent. The least cloudiness obtained over the Western Plateau, and the greatest over the southeastern and northeastern sections. New YorK WEATHER BURBAU. 179 The prevailing winds were from the southwest. The average wind travel for the month at 6 stations of the National Bureau was 6356 miles; the values being generally greater than usual for July. The maximum velocity recorded at the above stations was 54 miles per hour, northwest, at New York city on the 238d. Electrical storms (including distant thunder or lightning) were reported as follows, by regions: In the western highlands on the 2d, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 22d, 23d, 26th, 30th; the eastern highlands, Ist, 6th, 7th, 10th, llth, 14th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 23d, 24th, 80th; northern highlands, 6th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 22d, 25th; Atlantic.

Hail fell on the 5th, 6th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 22d, 23d, 29th. Auroras were reported from northern stations on the 21st, 22d and 30th. No frosts were reported. GrnERAL Features OF THE WEATHER. This month was remarkable for excessive heat and rainfall; both exceeding the values previously recorded for any month since the establishment of this Bureau in 1889. The excess of temperature occurred mainly during the period extending from 180 Nintuo ANNUAL REPORT OF THD the 2d to the 12th, maxima of about 100 degrees being reported from stations in the Genesee Valley on and about the 5th. From the 12th to the 26th the temperature was slightly above normal, but a cooler wave followed on the dates from the 26th to 31st, with minima under 50 degrees in the cooler sections. The precipitation was very unevenly distributed, portions of the western-central section and the St. Lawrence Valley reporting a drouth, while the rainfall was the heaviest on the records of many eastern stations. The total of 18.11 inches at Setauket, L. L., is without precedent in this State, so far as known. Phenomenally large amounts in single storms were also registered, as noted in the following table of data. The weather was generally fair during the hot period, or until the 12th, but thereafter showers were of alinost daily occurrence. Washing rains, and violent hail, wind and thunder storms were a noteworthy feature of this month’s weather. Five areas of high and six areas of low pressure were traced in the vicinity of the State on the July weather-maps; but the atmos- pheric movements were so sluggish and ill defined, during the first half of the month especially, that these numbers are only approxi- mate. A decided westward drift of the atmosphere during the heated term is an unusual and noteworthy feature; the subsequent heavy rains being probably due to the large quantities of moisture thus carried inland from the ocean. The following is a brief account of the atmospheric movements: Low I (the last of June), on the northeast coast, was followed by westerly winds and fair weather, reinforced by a slight rise of pres- sure from the Southern to Central States on the Ist and 2nd. Low II, 2.6 inches, was a strong depression in the Northwest, but decreased and became general over Canada on the 4th; there- after shifting over the provinces and vicinity of the Lakes until the 12th. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 181 High I, 30.1 inches, originally over Nova Scotia on the 3d, shifted along the coast until the 10th, giving a drift of moist, south- erly winds into Low II, but maintaining generally fair weather in this vicinity. These conditions brought intense heat and moder- ately high humidity throughout the Northern States, while scattering thunderstorms occurred along the southern border of the low, mainly on the 5th, 6th and 7th. This low concentrated over the St. Lawrence Valley on the 11th and 12th, when thunderstorms and general heavy rains occurred, with high winds near the lakes. Cooler weather followed, with westerly winds from High II, 30.2 inches, originating in the West, and reaching the Central States on the 12th, thence moving southeast. ) Low III, 29.7 inches, originated on the central coast on the 13th, giving flooding rains in southeastern New York. The area passed northward over Canada on the 14th and 15th, with contimued rains and general thunderstorms. Generally fair and warm weather fol- lowed, as High II moved from the southern to the central coast. High ILI, 30.3 inches, forming over Canada on the 16th, passed to the northeast coast, gave easterly winds and fair warm weather varied by showers, from the 17th to the 22d. Low IV, 29.6 inches, originated in the Northwest, and moving slowly eastward, became general in the Northeast on the 23d to 25th, bringing cloudy weather and general rains and thunderstorms. The weather cleared somewhat on the 25th, but the approach of Low V, 29.8 inches, which reached the lakes from the westward on the 26th, again brought general rains and high winds in the Lake Region. The presence of High IV overjthe northeast coast on the 27th to 29th, with con- tinued cloudiness, reduced the temperaturejto the lowest point reached during the month, Low V remaining in the vicinity of the 182 NintaH ANNUAL REPORT OF THBP lakes, gave continued rains which were especially heavy in the Southeast on the 19th, when a secondary low appeared on the coast. High V, 39.1 inches, was confined mainly to the Southern States, raising the temperature in New York to the normal value, by the 30th, in conjunction with Low VI, 29.8 inches, which passed from the Upper Lakes to northern New York and Canada on the 31st, and was accompanied by scattering showers. Farmine Nores: After the cool weather of May and June, the hot wave of July was very beneficial to corn, late potatoes, vege- tables and all belated crops. The greater part of the hay crop was secured in fine condition in the South, and the wheat and rye harvests were well under way. Oats were heading by the 10th, tobacco grew finely, and the prospect for tree and small fruits were exceedingly favorable. Drouth conditions were reported from por- ‘tions of the western-central section and the lower Hudson Valley, but relief came with the general rains beginning on the 1Jth. The weather continuing warm during the two following weeks, with an abundant rainfall, was favorable for all farming interests excepting the hay and grain harvests, which were seriously delayed, and considerable losses resulted in the late northern counties. In the South oats were ready for cutting by the 31st, and were generally good, although much rust was locally reported. Hops were at first badly damaged by lice, but later the heavy rains improved the con- dition of the yards. Apples dropped from the trees to a considera- ble extent, while other fruits were abundant and sound. Local storms, floods, ete., as reported by observers at the follow- ing stations: Angelica, high winds twisted off and uprooted trees on the evening of the 22d; Franklinville, on the 5th lightning injured three persons, killed a child and wrecked a dwelling in this vicinity. O11 the 11th a hail and thunderstorm and tornado nearby New YorK WRATHER BURBAU. 183 damaged grain, uprooted trees and fired 2 barns. A destructive hailstorm occurred on the 20th. Reports were received of build- ings and oil tanks fired and stock killed by lightning. Humphrey, heavy gale on 7th uprooted trees. Addison, a severe local storm on the 18th. South Canisteo, a clondburst in the town of Almond on the 26th flooded Hornellsville. Wappingers Falls, heavy rains on the 15th and 14th caused the bursting of two reservoirs supplying Matteawan and Fishkill. A considerable tract of forest was wiped out, and the roadbed of the New York Central R. R. near Fishkill was carried away. Nine lives were lost. Baldwinsville, a thunder- storm with wind and hail damaged corn and tobacco on the 14th. Palermo, a barn burned by lightning on the 5th. Cooperstown reports the greatest number of consecutive rainy days for any month during 44 years. 184 NintoH ANNUAL REPORT OF THD LOCATION OF STATIONS.

Mt 3 : DAA ~~ i! se ee am mem wee Meteorological Summary for November, 1897. The average atmospheric pressure (reduced to sea-level and 32 degrees Fahr.) for the State was 30.06 inches. The highest barometer was 30.64 inches at Albany on the 28th, and the lowest, 29.06 inches at Oswego on the 9th. The mean pressure was con- siderably higher in the eastern section than along the Lakes. The average pressure for the month was very nearly normal, lake stations only reporting slight deficiencies. The mean temperature of the State was 37.6 degrees, as derived from observations of maxima and minima at 81 stations. The highest local mean was 45.3 degrees at Setauket, the lowest being 30.1 degrees at Saranac Lake. The highest general daily mean was 50 degrees on the 5th, and the lowest 22 degrees on the 24th. The maximum temperature reported was 70 degrees at Bedford on the 4th, and the minimum, 3 degrees below zero at Number Four on the 24th. The mean monthly range of temper- ature for the State was 52 degrees, the greatest local value being 65 degrees at Lowville, and the least, 42 degrees at Palermo and Arkwright. The mean daily range was 15 degrees. The greatest local daily range was 53 degrees at Little Falls (2a) on the 28th, the least being 1 degree at Lockport on the 1st and at Canajoharie on the 2d. The mean temperature of the various regions of the State were as follows: The Western Plateau, 38.5 degrees; the Eastern Plateau, 37.4 degrees; the Northern Plateau, 33.0 degrees ; the Atlantic Coast, 43.5 degrees; the Hudson Valley, 38.9 degrees ; the Mohawk Valley, 35.2 degrees; the Champlain Valley, 35.1 degrees; the St. Lawrence Valley, 34.8 degrees; the Great Lake Region, 39.9 degrees; the Central Lake Region, 39.6 degrees. The mean temperature of the State, as derived from observations at 26 stations having records for previous years, was 0.6 degrees above the normal, excesses being reported from 17 stations, located mainly in the central and southern sections. The mean relative humidity was 78 per cent. The mean dew- point was 33 degrees. 284 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE The average precipitation for the State was 4.96 inches of rain and melted snow, as derived from the records of 109 stations. In the southern Adirondacks and vicinity the precipitation ranged from 8 to 10 inches or more, while in much of the western-central section the amount was under 4 inches. The maximum local precipitation was 10.24 inches at North Lake, the mininum being 2.19 inches at Avon. A list of the largest rates of rainfall will be found in the table of meteorological data. The average total snowfall at 68 well distributed stations was 5.9 inches. The average amount in the central interior was about 5 inches, and on the northern highlands, about 10inches. The least general snowfall occurred on the Atlantic Coast. The distribution of snow near the Lakes was very uneven, the amounts ranging from 1 inch at Fort Niagara to 43 inches at Palermo (the latter being the maximum for the State). The average precipitation for the State was 1.51 inches above normal, as derived from measurements at 26 stations having records covering 10 years or more. Excesses occurred at all stations excepting Madison Barracks. The amounts were the largest on record for November at Port Jervis, Lowville, Honeymead Brook, Oswego and Palermo, The average number of days on which the precipitation amounted to 0.01 inches or more was 14.7; the number being greatest over the Great Lake Region, the Northern Plateau and the Mohawk Valley, and least in western-central New York, the Coast Region and the St. Lawrence Valley. |The average number of clear days was 4.4; of partly cloudy days, 7.5; and of cloudy days, 18.1; giving an average cloudiness of 69 per cent. In general the cloudi- ness was considerably greater in western and northern New York than in the eastern section. The prevailing winds were from the west. The average total wind travel at 6 stations of the National Bureau was 9,962 miles. The travel was greater than usual at both eastern and Lake stations. The highest velocity recorded was 56 miles at Buffalo on the 6th. Thunderstorms (including distant thunder or lightning) were reported from Wedgewood, South Canisteo, Ithaca and Waverly on the 2d; from Addison and Waverly on the 8th; from 9 western, northern and eastern stations on the 9th; from 4 southwestern and 1 eastern station on the 11th; from South Canisteo and Waverly on the 25th. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 285 Auroras were observed at St. Johnsville on the 2d and 17th and at Bedford on the 2d. Hail fell on the 6th, 8th, 9th, 16th, 25th, 27th, 29th, 30th; and sleet on the 6th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th and 25th. Solar halos were observed on the 7th, 10th, 14th, 16th; and Lunar halos on the 4th, 11th and 30th. GENERAL FEATURES OF THE WEATHER. This month was somewhat warmer than usual, the excess of tem- perature occurring mainly during the first week, and near the close of the month, with generally seasonable weather in the interval. More than the usual rain and snowfall occurred over the State at large, the greatest excesses occurving in the region of the southern Adirondacks. As usual, in November, the storm frequency was decidedly greater than for the preceding autumn months, while the percentage of cloudy weather was very large, especially in the west and north. A heavy snowfall occurred in restricted northern and highland sections, and eastward of Lake Ontario, but generally the fall was slight and quickly disappeared. Six areas of high and nine areas of low pressure influenced the weather in this vicinity during the month, with the exception of the storms of the 9th and 11th, the depressions were of moderate energy. About half of their number approached this State from the south- west, following, nearly, the winter course, while of the remainder, three passed eastward along the Canadian border, and one was centralover the Atlantic. The anti-cyclones, as a rule, moved south- eastward from their place of appearance on the Pacific Coast, but with a tendency to spread northward when near the Atlantic States. The absence of the severe winter weather which was reported in the West was probably due, in part, to the southerly trend of the highs. The following is a brief account of the atmospheric movements of the month: Low I, 29.6 inches, originating over the Mexican Gulf, moved northeastward, and was central over New York on the 2d to 8d, bringing the heaviest general rains of the month, with mild weather High I followed a southerly course to the Atlantic States, spread- ing along the coast on the 3d to 5th and maintaining the moderate temperatures. 286 NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Low II, 29.6 inches, passed from the Missouri Valley section over the Upper Lakes and northeastward. This area caused gales on the Lakes, with light showers on the 6th, and the highest tem- perature of the month. A steadily falling temperature occurred in its rear, with the approach of High II, 30.3 inches, a larger area covering the eastern part of the continent on the 7th. Low III, 29.2 inches, developed in the Southwest, crossing the Lower Lakes and the St. Lawrence Valley on the 9th, with general rains, which were heavy at some Northern stations. The maximum wind velocity for the month occurred at coast stations on the 9th. Partly cloudy weather on the 10th was followed by two days of moderate rain, due to Low IV, 29.2 inches, passing along the Canadian border and northern New York on the 11th and 12th, with high winds on the Lakes. High ILI, 30.4 inches, comprised two sections which passed over the Northern and Southern States respectively, covering the Atlantic States on the 14th and 15th, bringing a slight fall of temperature. Low V, 29.8 inches, extended from Texas to the Lakes on the 15th, bringing moderate rains which contiuued during the 16th as the area moved northward; the temperature meanwhile rising 10 degrees above the normal. High IV, 30.4 inches, united a northern and southern center. The system covered the Atlantic States from the 18th to 21st; the weather being decidedly colder on the 18th and 19th, while showers and snow flurries occurred on the Lakes and highlands. Low VI, 29.7 inches, passing north of New York on the 21st, brought a warm wave, but little rain. High V, 30.5 inches, reaching the Central States on the 23d, and thence passing tothe coast gave the lowest temperature of the month on the 28d and 24th, causing a condensation of rain or srow in central or southern New York. Low VII was central off the New England Coast on the 23d. Low VIII, 29.7 inches, passed from the Central States to the Lakes and northeastward on the 26th to 27th, bringing moderate rains and snow, the temperature meantime rising more than 30 degrees. New YorK WEATHER BuRBPAU. 287 High VI, 30.6 inches, like two preceding areas, embraced a north- ern and a southern center. The system was felt in New York from the 27th to 30th bringing cold clearing weather. Low IX, 29.8 inches, passed north of New York on the 29th, and gave a heavy snowfall in Oswego county but moderate or light showers in other sections.

The average atmospheric pressure (reduced to sea-level and 32 degrees Fahr.) for the State of New York during 1897 was 30.05 inches; the highest monthly mean pressure, 30.15 inches, occur- ring in September, and the lowest, 29.94 inches, in July. The highest barometer was 30.87 inches at Albany on March 1st, and the lowest was 29.06 inches at Oswego on November 9th, giving arange of 1.81 inches within the State. The highest local monthly mean pressure was 30.18 inches at Albany in October, the lowest being 29.92 inches at Buffalo, Rochester and Oswego in July. The greatest local range was 1.69 inches at Albany, and the least, 1.56 inches, at Buffalo and Erie. The mean annual range for all stations was 1.63 inches. The greatest departures of monthly means from the normal were +0.08 inch in April, September and October, and —0.06 inch in May. The mean annual temperature for the State was 46.4 degrees, as derived from the records of 81 stations; the mean temperature of January,the coldest month, being 22.3 degrees, and of July, the warmest month, 72.1 degrees. The highest local annual mean was 52.6 degrees at Brooklyn, and the lowest was 40.7 degrees at North Lake, Herkimer county. The highest local monthly mean was 75.1 degrees at Canajoharie in July, and the lowest was 13.9 degrees at Saranac Lake in January. The maximum temperature reported during the year was 102 degrees at Avon on July 5th and 10th, and the minimum was 28 degrees below zero at Saranac Lake on February 28th, giving an annual range of 130 degrees within the State. The average daily range for the year was 19 degrees; the greatest local value being 25 degrees at Oxford, while the least was 12 degrees at Arkwright. The 22 838 NintoH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE mean annual temperature of the State, as derived from the records of 22 stations possessing records of ten years or more, was very slightly above the normal. Only Honeymead Brook and Plattsburgh Barracks reported deficiencies of temperature. The average total precipitation over the State for the year was 40.30 inches, as derived from the records of 121 stations. The maximum local precipitation was 59.26 inches at Setauket, while the minimum was 19.85 inches at Mt. Morris. The greatest monthly average for the State was 6.88 inches in July, the least being 1.10 inches in March. The greatest local monthly precipi- tation was 18.18 inches at Setauket in July, and the least was 0.13 inch at Poughkeepsie in October. The total depth and distribution of precipitation over the State are shown in the fourth chart of this report, and the average daily amounts by the sixth chart. The average precipitation during 1897 at 27 stations possessing records for previous years was 1.49 inches above the normal amount. Deficiencies were reported from 12 stations, the greater number of which were located in western and central New York. The amounts exceeded any annual rainfall previ- ously recorded at Honeymead Brook and Setauket, while at Cortland the rainfall was the least on record. The average total snowfall at 53 widely distributed stations was 59.9 inches. The heaviest snowfall, exceeding 100 inches, occurred on the high- lands east of Lakes Ontario and Erie, the maximum local amount being 145 inches at North Lake. On the coast and in the central valleys the total depth ranged from 25 to 40 inches. The average number of days on which the precipitation amounted to 0.01 inch or more was 127. The number was largest near the Great Lakes and over the Northern Plateau, and least in the southeast and near the Central Lakes. The average number of clear days for the State was 118, of partly cloudy days 113, and of cloudy days 134, giving an average cloudiness of 53 per cent. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 309 GENERAL FEATURES OF THE WEATHER. The annual averages of both temperature and rainfall, for the State, were nearly normal. Early in the year extremely variable temperature conditions obtained, with a remarkably warm period during thefirst week ofJanuary. January 25th was the coldest day of the winter over theState. The temperature was generally above the normal from March 16th to May 21st, after which there fol- lowed a notably cold period, continuing until the end of June. From July 1st to 24th an excess of temperature obtained, with one of the most intense hot waves on record during the first week. The weather was generally cooler than usual from July 25th to October 10th, with the exception of a very hot period during the second week of September. The mean temperatures of October, November and December were. above the normal, the excess being most marked from October 10th to 17th, and from’ December 7th to 17th. No excessively. low temperatures were recorded during the year. | As regards precipitation, the most noteworthy features were the excessive rains of July in eastern New York, and the severe drouth which obtained in the western-central counties through the greater part of the year, but notably during the warm months. The total snowfall was somewhat less than usual, and generally was quickly melted, leaving the ground bare in the warmer sections. Exceptionally fine bright weather characterized the late sum- mer and early autumn months, but the percentage of cloud was greater than usual during much of the first half of the year, and also through November and December. High winds prevailed through the latter half of January, dur- ing much of the month of March, and in February severe wind storms occurred on the 8d and 23d. Thunderstorms occurred with less than usual frequency during May, June and August, but in July numerous and violent electrical, wind and rainstorms occurred. A small but destructive tornado was reported near Amsterdam on August 23d. September and October were free from violent storms, and during the remainder of the year the 340 Ninro ANNUAL REPORT OF THE only notable disturbances were the general cyclonic storms of November 9th and 11th, and December 14th and 23d, both giving high winds over the State. An earthquake shock was generally felt at northern stations on the 27th of May. FarMING Notps: Stock wintered well, and wheat appears not to have suffered from the lack of snow. Plowing was under way in the southern counties by March 12th, and on the 27th the ground was generally reported as free from frost, so that cultivation proceeded rapidly; and in the early part of April the season was said to be two weeks in advance of the usual stage. Fruit and forest trees budded by April 18th in warm southern valleys, and were in bloom by the 30th. Vegetation advanced rapidly early in May, but cool weather late in the month, and a drouth in the western counties, acted unfavorably. June was exceptionally cold throughout, and crops remained in a backward state until the heated term early in July. Hay was gathered in fine condition late in June. Tree fruits, excepting apples, grew finely, although insect pests were very numerous. The strawberry crop was good and very large in the southeast. There was little damage from frost during the growing season. Corn and other belated crops developed rapidly in July, ex- cepting in some western-central and southeastern sections, where drouth continued. The wheat and rye harvests were well under way by the 12th, and in the south oats were ready for cutting by the 31st. Much damage resulted from excessive rain in east- ern and northern New York. Cloudy and rainy weather pre- vailed in these sections also during much of August, retarding corn and buckwheat, while in the west the drouth continued. Fruits, other than apples, still maintained a fine condition; to- bacco was gathered in good order, and the results of grain threshing were generally satisfactory; but potatoes blighted badly. The bright, hot weather of the first half of September ripened corn and buckwheat rapidly, and harvesting was general by the 20th. Severe drouth in the west during September and New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 341 October injured these crops. Fall seeding often failed to ger- minate, and in many cases the ground was too dry for plowing. Foliage took on unusually brilliant tints between October 1st and 10th. Severe frosts came very late this autumn, and in the south and near large bodies of water vegetation was uninjured until November. IcE In Rivers, ETC.: Navigation opened on the Hudson, as far north as Poughkeepsie, on the 2d of March, and the first boat reached Albany from New York on the 16th. Ice broke up in the Susquehanna river on the 4th, in Chautauqua lake on the {2th and in Lake George on April 13th. The rivers of central and southern New York were generally closed by ice (tempo- rarily) between the 25th and 31st of December. 342 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MerrorotoaioaL Data LOCATION OF STATIONS.

Review of Crop Conditions During the Year. Sample Crop Report. Summary of Crop Conditions, 1897. November 1, 1897. The temperature from October, 1896, to March, 1897, inclusive, averaged about 0.7 degree above the normal; -the average de- ficiency of rain and snow for the same period was about 0.4 inch. The winter temperature was about normal, December being colder, while January and February were slightly warmer. It is worthy of note that every month from October to February, inclusive, was deficient in precipitation. November, 1896, was very wari, averaging nearly 5 degrees above the normal. Plowing was carried on, even in the extreme north, up to the 28th of No- vember, and in southern sections violets and lilacs were budding near the close of the month. Some plowing was done during January also. While the ground was eften free from snow dur- ing the winter, yet protection to crops was afforded at opportune times and grasses and grains generally wintered well—the excep- tion being in eastern and southeastern sections, where it ‘was thought some fields were partially winter killed. On the first of March a hard freeze was reported as having killed many peach buds in Erie county and vicinity, but the results of the season did not bear th this statement. The succeeding twenty days averaged the warmest on record. This was followed by a period of cold north winds and frosty nights, with bright sunny days. As the fields were bare of snow the alternate freez- ing and thawing caused some slight damage to fields and meadows from heaving. Excepting in the extreme north the frost was all out by the close of March, and spring plowing had begun in the warmer localities of the south. 358 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE The first week of April was bright and warm, but with frosty nights. Plowing was well begun in warmer sections, and the season was deemed to be two weeks in advance. The weather was excellent for gathering maple sugar, and while the sugar season was rather short—being practically finished by the 10th— the product was exceptionally good. General snows on the 9th delayed farming operations, but proved beneficial to grass and grains. Excepting the 17th and 18th the second decade of April was cold and wet; grass and grains received a set back in growth, but otherwise continued in good condition. Oats seeding—a little of which had been done—and plowing progressed slowly. A few potatoes had been planted by the 10th, and gardening had begun in the warmer sections of the southeast. Fruit buds were develop- ing too rapidly for the season, and received a timely check during the cold spell of the 17th-21st. The cold wave of the 19th, 20th and 21st was accompanied by sleet and snow, and ice two inches thick formed in exposed localities of the north. Little damage to crops was apprehended, excepting to peaches, and to early gardens on Long Island. Midsummer temperatures followed, and as the soil was in good condition plowing and seeding progressed rapidly. Much tobacco ‘was seeded by the 20th, and hop poles generally were set. Another cold wave on the 26th-27th was accompanied by snow to the depth of two inches in the north. Before this cold wave vegetation was slightly in advance, but afterwards was deemed about normal. Fruit was thought to be. injured by the frost of the 27th, and in Orange county early potatoes suffered, and accompanying high winds greatly damaged the young onion beds. At the close of the month a large per- centage of the oats was sown, and some barley; and plowing for corn, planting potatoes and making gardens was well under way. New YorRK WHATHER BUREAU. 359 All crops in the ground were growing nicely. In central and southern sections early fruit sprang into full bloom during the last two or three days of the month and reports indicated a heavy set, especially of small fruits. Farming operations had hardly begun in the extreme north. The month of May was cooler than usual, the average tempera- ture for the first and last decade being low, and about normal during the intermediate period. The rainfall was excessive, but unevenly distributed; numerous and heavy showers occurring over the southeast principally, but in some sections—and notably in the vicinity of Lake Ontario—the precipitation was light. Vegetation advanced rapidly until the 8th, when the Ue fell to five and ten degrees below freezing. The damage sustained was very slight. Cloudy weather with general rains from the 9th to the 13th proved beneficial to grass and grains, but in the north meadows were reported in poor condition. Cool, cloudy and showery weather prevailed during the last ten days. Many re- ported corn, potatoes, peas, etc., in the ground as failing to sprout during this period, and growth of small fruits and garden truck was seriously retarded. Grass and grains, however, grew vigor- ously with this weather, and in the warmer and dryer portions of the southeast ripening strawberries were exceptionally promis- ing. Tent caterpillars were exceptionally numerous, and orchard- ists were obliged to use vigorous methods to protect their fruit trees. Exceptionally cool, cloudy and windy weather prevailed over the northern sections of the State. Corn planting was well under way by the 10th of the month; hops were mostly grubbed; and as pasturage was very good, stock generally was turned out. By the middle of the month early vegetables were in the market in the southeastern counties, but in the north oats seeding had 360 Ninro ANNUAL REPORT OF THD scarcely begun. Many had finished sowing barley and, in warmer districts, rye was beginning to head. Hop vines were strong and | vigorous, and tying well under way by the 15th. The cool, cloudy weather was unfavorable to tobacco plants and they made slow growth. Planting potatoes, truck gardening, etc., was well ad- vanced, except in localities of heavier soils where work was deemed ten days behind hand. In the warmest sections apple trees were in full bloom, but in the north plums, pears and cher- ries were just starting to blossom. A frost on the 22d slightly nipped tender garden plants, but did not impair the generally favorable outlook. At the beginning of the third decade grasses, grains and fruits were growing nicely, and were reported by many as “never looking better at this season of the year,” but it was too cool for the quick germination of seed in the ground. Frosts of 26th-27th slightly damaged fruits and gardens in a few exposed localities. In many districts corn and potato planting was finished by the end of the month, but on uplands and wet soils many had scarcely begun. June was an exceptionally cool month, the principal cold periods occurring about the 2d and 2ist. Severe frosts occurred in northern localities and also in the southwest. The rainfall was very light in the west, but heavier than usual in the central and eastern counties. About the usual rain frequency and cloudiness prevailed for the State at large and after the 10th the prevailing weather was fair. During the first decade the frequent rains and cool cloudy weather retarded corn planting and oats seeding, and the season already being late many of the fields designed for oats were prepared for millet or buckwheat instead. Corn and potato seedings rotted badly during this weather and. much replanting became necessary. Haying had begun in southeastern localities by New YorK WPATHER BUREAU. 361 the 10th, and as the crops had become very weedy cultivation of corn and potatoes was begun, although in many districts corn and potato planting was not yet finished. Wheat headed during the second week and some was nearly ready to harvest by the close of the month. Small fruits and vegetables, while maintaining a vigorous growth, were kept ina very backward condition. Beans generally were planted by the 10th, and a particularly good crop of strawberries came to market by the 12th. Hops promised well early in the month, but later the growth became uneven, and lice were reported in the yards. Tobacco transplanting was finished by the 25th; the plants suffered somewhat from the cool ‘weather. The weather was very favorable during the last week, and by the close of the month a large proportion of the hay, especially clover, was secured, and about all the buckwheat sown. ‘Wheat, barley, cats and rye were growing nicely, although in some sections rust was reported in the wheat and oats. Strawberries were nearly finished in the southeast, but in northern sections the crop was in the prime. Apples were reported as dropping very badly, but small fruits and berries continued most promising. Frosts on the 21st and 27th slightly nipped gardens in exposed localities. July was remarkable for excessive heat and rainfall. The excess of temperature occurred mainly from the 2d to the 12th, maxima of 100 degrees being reported from stations in the Genesee valley on and about the 5th. From the 12th to the 26th the tem- perature was slightly above the normal, but a cool wave followed from the 26th to the 31st, with minima under 50 degrees in the cooler sections. Rainfall was very unevenly distributed, portions of the west, central and the St. Lawrence Valley reported a drouth, while at many eastern stations the rainfall was the heaviest on record. Phenomenally large amounts in single storms were regis- 362 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE tered. The total monthly amount at Setauket, Long Island, was 18.18 inches, which, as far as known, is without precedent in this State. Hail, wind and thunder storms were a noteworthy feature of the month’s weather. Flooding rains did much damage to crops, especially in the Hudson Valley. After the cool weather of May and June (excepting the last week of June) the hot weather of July was very beneficial to crops, which were generally much behindhand. The bright, hot weather ripened the grain rapidly, and by the 10th wheat and rye harvest was well begun in more advanced districts. The weather was very favorable for gather- ing, and the greater part of the crop was secured by the middle of the month, or before the showery weather which characterized the last half of the month. The almost daily showers from the 12th on caused serious delays in the wheat tharvest. A large amount of the wheat became over ripe and could not be cut, while much that was cut and shocked remained in the fields often as long as two weeks, causing sprouting and deterioration of the grain. This period of continued rains, with its ill effects on wheat, barley and rye harvests, may be deemed the catastrophe of the season, as a large proportion of the wheat, especially, was rendered unmarketable. ‘Where dry weather permitted oats har- vest began during the latter part of the month; the flooding rains had caused much damage from lodging, and rust and smut were reported locally, but as a whole the crop had made a very good growth. Corn was still behindhand although growing finely. Earliest potatoes were ready to dig the last part of the month; rot was beginning to be general, and the crop was further im- paired by the wet weather and by insect pests. As it was im- possible to cut hay, much of the crop that remained out became overripe, resulting in considerable loss. The warm, wet weather New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 363 was very favorable to tobacco plants. Hops improved towards the close of the month, the heavy rains seeming to rid the yards of lice. Pasturage continued in excellent condition and dairy in- terests consequently ata maximum. Cherries, plums and peaches continued very promising; blackberries and raspberries were abundant; but apples continued to drop badly and promised a very light yield. August was cooler than usual, especially in the northern part of the State. The temperature was equable, moderate deficiencies being maintained during more than half the month, while the brief warm waves of the first and middle of the month were severe only in portions of the western sections. Fair and pleasant wea- ther prevailed in central and western counties, while in the north- ern highlands the number of cloudy and rainy days was exces- sive. The total rainfall for the State was deficient, and in south- western counties drouth prevailed, and also in the vicinity of Lake Ontario. As a whole the month was fairly favorable for agricultural interests; wet weather delayed harvests in the north and east, while growing crops were somewhat injured by drouth in some western counties. Bright, drying weather during the first week was favorable both for harvesting and for growing crops. Following the almost daily rains of the last three weeks of July the drying weather was a boon to farming interests, and by the end of the first week nearly all the wheat, barley and rye were secured, excepting in the north. While great damage to grains had been caused by the wet weather later reports indicated that the loss had not been quite so extensive as previously feared. Haying was rushed during this time, but much loss resulted from the grass being overripe. Corn steadily improved; by the 10th corn was in tassel and buckwheat in bloom. Vegetable and tree 364 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE fruits, excepting apples, made vigorous growth. The two weeks of cool showery weather following still further delayed late grain and hay harvest, and maturing crops made slop growth, although many central and ‘western districts escaped the showers and re- ported a drouth. The second growth of clover was unusually good, and the greater part of this crop cut by the 20th. Some Fall plowing had begun by the 15th; some tobacco was cut, although the harvest in general was later than usual. Oats har- vest was well under way by the third week, and somé fodder corn was cut by the end of the month. Oats, although heavy, were badly lodged, causing deterioration in the crop and delay in the harvest. Early potatoes were blighting badly; late potatoes were much more promising. Hops improved slightly; picking the earlier varieties began the last week. Pastures afterfeed con- tinued excellent and dairy interests very satisfactory. Apples continued to drop and otherwise the crop was defective; other fruits were very promising. Near the middle of the month some orchardists were obliged to thin their peach trees of fruit. September temperature was about normal—the ‘weather being exceptionally dry, with warm, bright days but cool nights. The unusually warm weather continued up to the last decade, but was followed by cool weather, with light frosts on the 21st-22d, which caused some slight damage to buckwheat and to late corn and gardens. ‘The dry weather was exceptionally favorable for finish- ing up late harvest and securing corn fodder, buckwheat and late second clover, but with the exception of the period from the 19th to the 26th when copious showers occurred over all but western sections, the protracted drouth was causing serious delay in fall sowing, especially in the western part of the State where the rain- New YorK WPRATHER BURPAU. 365 fall had been unusually light during the whole season. At the beginning of the month corn and buckwheat were backward but ripening rapidly, and cutting was general during the second dec-. ade. As corn was so late in ripening, especially in the north, much of the crop was cut rather green from fear of frost. Potato digging revealed widespread rot, the tubers rotting both in the ground and after being dug. The very good crop of tobacco was about all securely housed by the 15th, and hop picking was nearly finished. Hops yielded fairly well, but the berry was rather small. The weather was particularly favorable for maturing crops, and for finishing up the harvests of late oats and second hay. ‘Grapes came to market the first of the month; the crop generally was very good, although there was complaint of lack of sugar in the fruit. Peaches were unusually abundant, and so were pears and plums, but the apple prospects continued to decrease. At the close of the month there was much complaint of drouth in western and north- ern counties, and consequent delay in fall plowing and seeding. Bright, dry weather continued up to the last week of October. Throughout the greater part of the State pasturage continued in very good condition, fall plowing and seeding were finished sea- sonably, and farming interests were quite satisfactory. In north- ern and western counties, however, the rainfall had been extremely light since the first part of August, and as the soil had become too hard to work many farmers were awaiting rain before putting in the fall crops. In these sections much of the seed sown earlier in the season failed to sprout in the dry ground, and in many cases fields were plowed up to be reseeded when rain comes. Wells and springs were exceptionally low, and pastures dried up, making it necessary to feed stock from winter stores. During the 366 Nintu ANNUAL REPORT OF THE last week of October good showers occurred over the drouth- stricken counties, and the long deferred plowing and sowing were resumed under more favorable conditions. Owing to the mild weather of September and October fall wheat has made rapid growth, and there was some fear expressed that the crop will be too far advanced before winter sets in.

Haying and har- vesting was consequently greatly delayed over the greater part of the State, rain having fallen almost every day for the past two weeks. A large part of the grain crop and probably a third of the grass it was impossible to cut during this time, and much that was cut remained out in the rains, resulting in great loss from mould- ing and sprouting. From almost all sections there are reports of wheat and rye sprouting and growing both in the shock, and standing, and barley in many cases rendered totally unsalable. New YorK WEHATHER BUREAU. 373 Much of the standing grain has become over ripe, as*is also the case with a large part of the standing timothy. The total] dam- age to these crops is enormous. The Central Lake regions have suffered the least, while the eastern and southeastern sections, and the vicinities of Niagara and Cattaraugus counties, have sus- tained the greatest damage. On the other hand all growing crops and pastures are usually in fine condition. Oats are about ready to cut; there is some com- plaint of rust and the fields are badly lodged, but the heads are well filled and the straw very good. Corn continues to make a splendid growth; early potatoes as a rule are blighted very badly, but late planted are greatly improved and generally promising. 3eans, cabbages and all late garden truck are making a good growth. Hops and tobacco continue to improve. Excellent fall feed assured. Slight change is apparent in the fruit prospects. Pears, plums and peaches continue very promising; blackberries and raspber- ries are abundant; grapes are growing finely. Apples in many sections continue to drop, but in some localities are very good. In addition to the general damage caused by the heavy rains, considerable local loss has been sustained from severe hail and wind storms during the week. The following is extracted from the national bulletin for the week ending with Monday, July 26th: Corn has continued to make rapid growth in the States of the central valleys, Lake Region, New England and Middle Atlantic Coast. In Iowa the early crop has reached the earing stage, and there is ample moisture for present needs. In Nebraska it con- tinues late, but is generally in excellent condition. In central and southern Kansas, corn has been seriously injured by hot winds 374 Awnnvuat Report or tHE New York WratueEr Buregav. and drought, but over the remainder of the State it is in good con- dition. Drought is also causing serious injury to late corn im Texas and portions of Louisana. The week has not been favorable for completing winter-wheat harvest where unfinished in some of the more northerly sections. Spring wheat has been injured by excessive rains in North Dakota, but in Minnesota, except on lowlands, and in South Dakota, the outlook is promising. In Washington and Oregon the crop is nearing maturity in excellent condition. Except in Kentucky and portions of Tennessee, where the crop continues in poor condition, the general outlook for tobacco is en- couraging. The crop has sustained damage by local storms im Ohio. E.

WESTERN PLATEAU — ALLEGANY COUNTY. Station, ALFRED — IN CHARGE or Mr. Laurencn La Foran at ALFRED UNIVERSITY. Established in 1889; latitude, 42 deg. 15 min. north; longitude, 77 deg. 55 min. west; elevation, 1,824 feet. The town of Alfred is situated near the upper limit of a valley which opens, in a northeasterly direction, toward the Alfred sta- tion of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, 2 miles distant. The station is located in the town, half-way up the east- ern slope of the valley, on both sides of which the hills rise to the heights of from 100 to 200 feet. A standard Green barometer is hung in a room (heated in winter) on the second floor of a house on Park street. The maxi- mum, minimum, wet and dry thermometers, with a _ ther- mograph, are located in a louvred shelter of a pattern of the United States Weather Bureau standard. The shelter is 7 feet above the ground, and 35 feet from any buildings. The rain-guage is 28 inches above the ground, and 30 feet from buildings. : The station has been very recently completely equipped with an anemograph and anemometer, a thermograph and a sunshine recorder, also soil thermometers; and systematic observations for the determination of the climate of the locality are being made. : } , ‘ : WESTERN PLATEAU — ALLEGANY COUNTY. SSraTion, ANGELICA — Mr. Everett I. Weaver, OBSERVER. Established (by signal service), November, 1889; equipped by State service, April, 1890; latitude, 42 deg. 18 min. north; longitude, 78 deg. 2 min. west; elevation, 1,340 feet. This station is located at the Wilson academy, near the center of the main street of Angelica. It is nearly surrounded by high hills, which, toward the north, rise abruptly at a distance of a 3884 Ninro ANNUAL REPORT OF THE few hundred feet from the station; while toward the southwest the main valley extends for over a mile to the foot of the ridge in that direction. A deep and narrow valley opens toward the north through the hills near the station. The thermometers are exposed in a window shelter built on the north side of an unheated wing of the academy. The bottom of the shelter (which is closed) is 11 feet above the sod. Its height is 5 feet, depth 2 feet, and width about 3 feet. Both front and sides are louyred, and its top is slanting. The thermometers are mounted near the center of the shelter and are read from the window which is kept closed). The rain-gauge is in an open field, well removed from any ob- stacles to a free air circulation. The height of the top of the gauge, above the ground, is 3 feet. This station was in the charge of Prof. J. P. Slocum until the summer of 1897, when the transfer to Mr. Weaver was made. WESTERN PLATEAU — CATTARAUGUS COUNTY. STATION, FRANKLINVILLE — JOHN W. Kauss, M. D., OBSERVER. Established in October, 1896; latitude, 42 deg. 20 min.; longitude, 78 deg. 29 min.; elevation, 1,598 feet. Franklinville is situated in a valley about 14 miles wide, hills rising on the east and west sides to heights of 500 and 300 feet, respectively. Maximum and minimum thermometers are placed in a shelter of the standard Weather Bureau pattern, located to secure a good air circulation, and which is also exposed to the sun’s rays.

New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 385 WESTERN PLATEAU — CATTARAUGUS COUNTY. Sration, HumpHrey — Mr. CHarues E. WHITNEY, OBSERVER. Equipped (by Signal Service) 1885-1886 ; latitude, 42 deg. 12 mia. north; longitude, 78 deg. 84 min. west; elevation, 1,950 feet, as determined by aneroid readings; no data have been previously obtainable, and consequently the height given in the report of 1889 is very much in error. The station is about 10 miles northeast of the Great Valley sta- tion of the New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad. It is near the summit of a ridge of hills, 350 feet above, and on the north- west side of a stream which flows into the Allegany River at Great Valley station. The hills in this section rise to an average height of 1,900 or 2,000 feet above tide, and are intersected by numer- ous deep valleys. Mr. Whitney’s station is situated between two knolls, toward the east and west respectively, whose summits are from 50 to 80 feet above the station. The dry and wet bulb and the maximum and minimum thermome- ters are placed under the roof of a piazza facing toward the south, in an angle formed by the main portion of the house and a wing on the eastern side. The height of the thermometers above the ground is about 7 feet; above the floor of the piazza, 54 feet, and below its roof, 3 feet. The width of the piazza is 4 feet. The thermometers are hung several inches away from the wall of the building. The rain-gauge is situated about 45 feet north-northwest of the main portion of the house. Two or three dwarf fruit trees are at a distance of 12 or 15 feet, and are the only obstacles to a free cir- culation of airin the vicinity. The top of the gauge is 4 feet ahove the ground. An anemometer placed at this station is mounted on the south gable of the house, 7 feet above the ridge and about 30 feet above the ground. 25 386 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WESTERN PLATEAU — CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY. Station, ARKWRIGHT — Miss Evra L. WiLcox, OBSERVER. Established in August, 1890; special temperature station; latitude, 42 deg. 25 min. north; ongitude, 79 deg. 15 min. west; elevatign, 1,360 feet. This station is situated about 6 miles east-southeast of Dunkirk, on the range of hills which borders the shore of Lake Erie. The writer’s observations of an aneroid barometer give the elevation of this station as approximately 685 feet above the level of Lake Erie. The thermograph is located at the house of Mr. E. I. Wil- cox, which stands on the northern slope of a ridge rising above the general level of the hills to a height of 200 or 300 feet, half a mile in the rear of the station. The ground falls away from Mr. Wil- cox’s house toward the north and west, so that there is an unob- structed view toward Buffalo plains and over Lake Erie. The station is somewhat sheltered from the south winds by the ridge mentioned, but air currents from all other directions have a free circulation about it. The shelter of the Draper thermograph is placed at the eastern end of a northern piazza, at a height of 4} feet above the floor and 7 feet from the ground. The eastern and western ends of the piazza are formed by wings projecting about 7 feet from the body of the house; the thermograph being placed about 1 foot distant from the outer side of the piazza. The rays of the sun are excluded from the shelter and its vicinity at all times, excepting possibly for an hour in the late afternoons of sum- mer. WESTERN PLATEAU —CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY. SraTion, JAMESTOWN — Mr. N. D. Lewis, OBSERVER. Established in November, 1895; latitude, 42 deg. 06 min. north; longitude, 79 deg. 16 min. west; elevation, 1,321 feet. This station is situated in the city of Jamestown, on the crest of a hill extending in an easterly and westerly direction. The sur- rounding country is hilly, mainly a moraine formation, intersected by short valleys. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 387 Maximum and minimum thermometers are exposed on the east- ern side of the house, at a height of 15 feet from the ground, and are protected by a piazza roof. ‘They are exposed to the sun’s rays only at sunrise in mid-winter. The rain-gauge stands on a level surface, and is 15 to 20 feet from the nearest tree or buildings. Its top is 9 feet above the ground. WESTERN PLATEAU — CHEMUNG COUNTY. STATION, Etmira — Messrs. W.S. & C. R. Gurity, OBSERVERS. Established November, 1888: latitude, 42 deg. 06 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 56 min. west; elevation, $63 fret. The city of Elmira is located upon the broad valley bottom of the Chemung river, at its point of intersection with a deep depres- sion extending northward from Pennsylvania to the valley of Sen- eca lake. Beyond the city limits the hills rise abruptly from the flat lands to the higher levels of the Western Plateau. The meteorological station is located near the center of the city at the business house of Messrs. Gerity, on the southeast corner of Lake and Carrol streets. The thermometer shelter projects from a window on the north-northwest side and second story of the brick building. Its dimensions are approximately 3 feet in width, 2 feet in depth and 3 feet in height, the thermometers being se- cured near its center at a distance of 18 inches from the window, which is always closed. The sides and front of the shelter are closed, the provision for ventilation consisting of an open bottom and air spaces between the top and sides. The thermometers are 18 feet above the pavement. WESTERN PLATEAU — LIVINGSTON COUNTY. Station, Avon — Mr. W. G. MarkHam, OBSERVER. Established in August, 1895; latitude, 42 deg. 55 min. north; longitude, 77 deg. 47 mir. west; elevation, 585 feet, This station is located in open country of the Genesee Valley bottom, 23 miles south of Lake Ontario, and is about 100 rods east of the Genesee river and 25 feet above its highest level. At high 388 Nintuo ANNUAL REPORT OF THE water the valley is carried over an area 1} miles in breadth. The surface is gently undulating to the east, while westward, hills rise to a considerable elevation. The valley is broad and open toward the south. Maximum and minimum thermometers are attached to the north end of a building, their height above the ground being 5 feet. They are protected by a hood 6 inches deep, open toward the north, and the rays of the sun are excluded at all hours. The rain-gauge is mounted upon a post, its top being 4 feet 8 inches above the ground. The surface near by is quite level, and the gauge is at an ample distance from obstructions to free-air circulation. WESTERN PLATEAU — LIVINGSTON COUNTY. Station, Mount Morris — Mr. J. KNAPPENBERG, OBSERVER. Established June, 1890; latitude, 42 deg. 42 min. north; longitude, 77 deg. 56 min. west; elevation, 525 feet (approximately). Mt. Morris is situated in the valley bottom, on the borders of Dansville creek. The course of the stream in this vicinity is toward the north, hills of moderate elevation rising on the eastern and western sides. The general surface of the neighbor- ing country slopes rapidly from the high hills, further south, toward the plains of the Great Lake region. The maximum and minimum thermometers are exposed on the north side of Mr. Knappenberg’s barn, and are said to be shel- ‘tered from sunlight at all hours, and also from moisture. The rain-gauge stands freely exposed in the yard. WESTERN PLATEAU — SCHUYLER COUNTY. SrTaTion, WEDGEWooD — Mr. O. F. Corwin, OBSERVER. Equipped with standard instruments in December, 1889; latitude, 42 deg. 25 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 56 min. west; elevation, 1,350 feet. This station is situated on the high hills which rise abruptly from the valley of Seneca lake, and is about three-quarters of a mile west of Wedgewood depot of the Fall Brook Coal Company’s New YoRK WEATHER BURBAU. 389 railroad. The ground rises gradually to the west and south of Mr. Corwin’s house, where the instruments are located, but slopes away from it in all other directions. The temperature and rain- fall at this station should fairly represent the climatic features of the highlands near the central lakes. The thermometer shelter is about 30 feet west of the house, and is supported on posts at a height of 4 feet above the sod. Its dimensions are about 34 by 24 feet at the base and 3 feet in height. The sides are of board (unpainted), with a door of the width of the shelter on the east side. Ventilation is obtained by spaces about one-eighth of an inch in width between the boards, and by a large number of holes bored in the sides at such an angle that rain is excluded. The top double, with an air space, and has a slight slope. The thermometers are hung near the center of the shelter. The rain-gauge is placed on a post 44 feet above the ground, that it may be above snow-drifts. The only obstacles to a free circula- tion of air in the vicinity of the gauge is a hedge of shrubs 20 feet distant and about 12 feet in height. WESTERN PLATEAU — STEUBEN COUNTY.

Established 1854; latitude, 42 deg. 41 min. north; longitude, 74 deg. 57 min. west; eleva- tion, 1,300 feet. Cooperstown is situated in the valley at the southern end or foot of Otsego lake, hills rising abruptly on the eastern and western sides of the town. The stream flowing south from the lake through a narrow valley, forms one of the principal sources of the Susquehanna river. The meteorological station is 200 feet south- west from the shore of the lake, and is sufficiently isolated from the buildings of the town to admit of a very free air circulation. The hills on the eastern and western sides of the valley are re- spectively one-half and three-fourths of a mile from the station. The dry, wet, maximum and minimum thermometers are se- cured to the side posts of a northern piazza of Mr. Keese’s resi- dence; their distance from the ground being about 9 feet, and from the piazza roof, 5 feet. The sun reaches the piazza only near the hours of rising and setting, and at these times one-half of the piazza is always in the shade of a projecting doorway; hence by moving the thermometers from one side of the piazza to the other, they are kept shaded for several hours pre- ceding the time of observation. The walls of the house are of brick, from which the instruments are separated by at least sev- eral inches of air space. The rain-gauge is 60 feet south of the house, and has no obstacle to a free air circulation in its vicinity. The top of the gauge is 4 feet above the ground. Mr. Keese’s record of temperature was kept during 36 years from readings of a Green standard thermometer, with which the instrument furnished by this service early in 1890 was found to agree closely. The rain-gauge in use for 36 years was the Pike “conical” form, which, as compared with the gauge of the New York Bureau, is found to give a slightly deficient registration. The exposure of the instruments has been substantially the same during the entire period of the record. 396 Ninto ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EASTERN PLATEAU — OTSEGO COUNTY. STATION, GARRATTSVILLE — Mr. F.

The valley through which this road passes opens toward the south-southwest into the Hudson valley; hence it is thought that the meteorological conditions of the station are similar to those of the Hudson valley north of the Highlands. The general surface rises for several miles east and southeast from the station to the high hills west of the Harlem valley, while in its immediate vicinity the ground is broken by numerous irregu- lar hills having a comparatively small elevation. The dry and wet bulb, and the maximum and minimum ther- mometers are placed at the angle formed by the northeast side of the main portion of Mr. Hyatt’s house and the northwest side of a wing projecting about 4 feet from the main building, the instru- ments thus fronting toward the north. The thermometers, ex- cepting the maximum, are sheltered by board sides and bottom, and a sloping roof, the front being wholly open to the northwest, 406 NintaH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE and the back half open. The maximum thermometer is placed near by, outside the shelter. The wings of the house exclude the sun at all hours. The rain-gauge, which ‘was constructed by Mr. Hyatt, is 70 feet southeast of the house. Its top is 44 feet above the ground. Its readings agree well with the gauge of the State service. HUDSON VALLEY — DUTCHESS COUNTY. STATION, POUGHKEEPSIE, VASSAR COLLEGE OBSERVATORY. Latitude, 41 deg. 41 min. north; longitude, 73 deg. 53 min. west; elevation, 180 feet. This station is located on a plateau 180 feet above the Hudson river and about 2 miles from its eastern bank. The country is rolling and quite flat in the immediate vicinity, giving an open exposure. The thermometers are placed in a louvred shelter of standard pattern, about 50 feet from the college observatory, and not far from a clump of evergreen trees. The shelter is exposed to sun- light excepting in the early morning and late afternoon. The thermometers are 5 feet above the sod. The rain-gauge is a copper bucket, 10 inches in diameter, made by Badger & Sons, furnished by the New England Weather Ser- vice. It is about 40 feet distant from the observatory. HUDSON VALLEY — PUTNAM COUNTY. SratTion, CARMEL — Mr. THomMAS MANNING, OBSERVER. Date of establishment not known; latitude, 41 deg. 25 min. north; longitude, 73 deg. 40 min. west; elevation, 500 feet, This station is about 1,000 feet east of the village of Carmel, near the foot of a gradual descent from the village. The surrounding country is much broken by abrupt, irregular hills, probably not exceeding 300 or 400 feet in height above the general surface. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 407 The station is equipped with a maximum and minimum ther- mometer, owned by Mr. Manning, and a rain-gauge of the pattern used in the Croton aqueduct system. The thermometers are ex- posed on the northern piazza of Mr. Manning’s house, at the height of 5 feet above the floor, and at about the same distance below the roof. The instruments are about 15 feet from the western or near- est end of the piazza, the roof of which (8 feet in width), with the hill westward, probably shields the thermometer from the direct rays of the sun at all hours. The rain-gauge is on level ground, about 100 feet south of the house, and has an unobstructed air circulation about it. The fun- nel of the gauge is about 12 inches in diameter, and its height above the ground is 12 inches. CHAMPLAIN VALLEY —SARATOGA COUNTY. STaTIon, SaraToca — Mr. W. H. Hatt, M. D., OBsERvVER. Established October, 1890; special temperature station; latitude, 43 deg. .05 min. north; longitude, 73 deg. 48 min. west; elevation, 270 feet. The general surface in the vicinity of Saratoga is a plain, bor- dered on the west by the Palmerstown range of hills, and on the east ridges of lesser height separate the plain from the Hudson river. The station is, no doubt, subject to the conditions of both the Champlain and Hudson valleys; but the character of the topography of Saratoga county indicates that the prevailing air currents are from the north rather than the south. There are no records of previous systematic meteorological observations for Saratoga covering a period longer than one year. The thermograph was removed in May, 1892, from the location described in the report of 1890, and is now exposed out of the north window of the tower of the High School building, at a height of 50 feet from the ground. 408 NintoH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY — WARREN COUNTY. StTaTion, Gupns Faris — Pror. C. L. WILLIAMS, OBSERVER. Established October, 1891; latitude, 43 deg. 19 min. north; longitude, 73 deg. 40 min, west; elevation, 340 feet (approximately). Glens Falls village is at the southern border of Warren county, onthe bank of the Hudson river, which at this point flows eastward through a broad valley. The country is nearly flat toward the south, and also northward as far as the French mountain range on the eastern shore of Lake George. The station is located at the Glens Falls academy, No. 60 War- ren street. The shelter is secured to the northern side of a wood building, 10 by 10 feet, which is built against the brick school building. The shelter is 30 inches high by 18 inches deep by 24 inches wide. Its sides are of wood, free air circulation being ob- tained by slits at all the edges, and through the wire screen in front. The height of the thermometers (dry, wet, maximum and minimum) is 4 feet from the ground. The rain-gauge is placed 2 feet above an open plat of ground and 60 feet from any buildings. ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY — JEFFERSON COUNTY. STaTION, WATERTOWN — Mr. F. M. Portier, OBSERVER. Established October, 1890; transferred to Mr. Porter in July, 1894; latitude, 43 deg. 57 min. north; longitude, 75 deg. 54 min. west; elevation, 580 feet (approximately). This station is located at Mr. Porter’s residence, 154 State street, about 14 miles southeast of the business center of Watertown, its exposure being practically that of the open country. The station stands near the summit of a ridge, being about 100 feet higher than the former station in the city. The thermometers hang in a shelter 2 feet 8 inches long, 12 inches deep and 3 feet high, with louvred windows and a glazed doorinfront. The roof is sloping, the bottom and back are closed, the door opening toward the northeast. The shelter is situated midway between a low wing of the house and the barn, 30 feet distant from each. It is secured to a post at a height of 5 feet above the sod. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 409 A barometer located in a room on the first floor of the house was found to be out of adjustment and was returned to the central office for correction. The rain-gauge is fastened at the back of the shelter, its top being well above the roof and 7 feet from the ground. ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY — ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY. Sration, NortH Hammond — Mr. C. A. WoosTER, OBSERVER. Established (by the National Service with a standard thermometer) in November, 1888; and completely equipped by the State Service in December, 1889; latitude, 44 deg. 30 min, north; longitude, 75 deg. 40 min. west; elevation, about 340 feet. The station is situated in the open country 6 miles north of the Hammond depot of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg rail- road, and about 1 mile from the St. Lawrence river. Northwest- ward from the station the surface of the country is nearly flat, with a gradual slope toward the river; whilst toward the east, and 300 feet from the station, the general surface rises some 30 or 40 feet. There are no high hills in the vicinity of the station. The dry, wet and maximum and minimum thermometers are ex- posed on the northwestern side of a wing of the observer’s house, and under the roof of a piazza 5 feet wide. The instruments are secured to the wood work of the wing 6 feet above the floor and 9 feet above the ground. The room within is heated throughout the year; but as a check, a standard thermometer located in a shaded position away from the veranda is read at each observation and thus far the results have agreed very closely. The sun’s heat is excluded from the piazza until late in the afternoon, when the floor and the walls are liable to radiate their heat to the instru- ments. Efforts have been made to remedy this defect. The rain-gauge is located about 20 feet west of the wing of ihe house (14 stories in height), and a distance from a low outbuilding equal to the height of the latter. The top of the gauge is about 5 feet above the ground. 410 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY — ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY. STATION, CANTON Mr. C. W. Bouton, OBSERVER. Established November, 1889; instruments transferred from Prof. Henry Priest to present observer in March, 1894. Latitude, 44 deg. 35 min. north; longitude, 73 deg. 12 min. west; elevation, 304 feet. : The meteorological station is located at the summit of a slope on the north side of the Grasse river, which is about 300 feet dis- tant. Although within the limits of the village, the station has a very open exposure. The thermometers are secured to the northern wall of a frame building, at a distance of 3 feet from the northwest corner. A screen toward the west cuts off all direct rays of the sun; but to prevent direct radiation to the thermometers from the ground in the afternoon, a shelter having louvred sides and front, with a solid top and bottom, was to be placed around the instruments. These are now placed about 54 feet above the ground. The rain-gauge is located about 30 feet from the house, and is also about the same distance from the barn. The height of por- tions of these buildings adjacent to the gauge is about equal to their distance from it. ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY — ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY. Station, Porspam — Mr. G. W. F. Smiru, OBSERVER. Established December, 1889; latitude, 44 deg. 40 min. north; longitude, 75 deg. 01 min. west; elevation, 300 feet. This station is situated on Leroy street, Potsdam, at a distance of 1 mile north from the center of the town, and well removed from other buildings. The station is about 100 feet above the tracks of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railroad, on the summit of a knoll which is the highest point within a radius of a mile. The ground slopes gradually away from the station in all direc- tions. The surrounding country is flat as far as the Adirondack foot hills, nearly 10 miles distant. The dry and wet bulb and maximum and minimum thermometers are exposed in a shelter which is built out from the window on the north side of a low, unheated building attached to Mr. Smith’s resi- New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 411 dence. The shelter is louvred at the sides and front, and in the rear a small door gives access to the instruments from the interior of the building. The dimensions of the shelter are about 3 by 24 feet at the base, and 3 feetin height. It has a slanting double roof and slat bottom. The rays of the sun touch the top of the shelter at noon, but are excluded from it at other times by the walls of the building, and also by a pine tree west of the house. The walls adjacent to the shelter are of wood. The height of the thermome- ters above the ground is 6 feet. The rain-gauge is located 70 feet north of the house, and about 25 feet from a few small fruit trees. The top of the gauge is 5 feet above the grourd. aT. LAWRENCE VALLEY — ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY. STATION, OGDENSBURG, AT THE ST. LAWRENCE SraTe HOosPITAt. Established December, 1889; latitude, 44 deg. 48 min. north; longitude, 75 deg. 30 min. west; elevation, 258 feet. The State Hospital is situated on a broad, open plain, within 100 rods of the St. Lawrence river, and about 2 miles from the center of Ogdensburg. The thermometers (which belong to the hospital) are located on a third-story balcony of the administration building opening towards the west-southwest. They are exposed in a shel- ter 24 inches broad by 30 inches deep, and 6 feet in height, louvred from top to base (which rests on the piazza floor). The shelter is painted brown. The dry and wet bulb and maximum and min- imum thermometers are located midway between its sides, being 5 feet above the floor and 36 feet above the ground. The piazza becomes heated from the direct rays of the sun in the after- noon; and hence the maximum temperatures indicated may be somewhat too high. The rain-gauge is located 75 feet southeast from the nearest building, upon a lawn. Its top is 9 inches above the ground. 412 NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GREAT LAKE REGION — CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY. STaTIoN, WESTFIELD — Mr. G. SCHOENFELD, OBSERVER. Established in October, 1895; latitude, 42 deg. 21 min. north; longitude, 79 deg. 37 min, west; elevation, 758 feet. This station is situated in the open country, 2 miles from Lake Erie, toward the north, and 2 to 3 miles from the main ridge of the Chautauqua county hills toward the south. The surface isa plain slope from the lake toward the hills. The thermometers are exposed on the north side of a building, 2 feet from its walls and 8 feet above the ground. They are pro- tected by a hood or roof and by lattice work sides; the dimensions of the shelter being 2x2x3 feet. They are not exposed to direct sunlight or other source of heat. The rain-gauge stands on level ground, 35 feet from the nearest building. Its top is 8 feet above the ground. This locality is not subject to autumn frosts or very severe win- ter weather, a week of continuous sleighing being rare. There is less rain and dew than on the highlands. Brisk winds are fre- quent. GREAT LAKE REGION — MONROE COUNTY. SraTIon, PirrsrorpD — Rev. G. H. GompH, OBSERVER. Established in June, 1895; latitude, 43 deg. 05 min. north; longitude, 77 deg. 34 min. west; elevation, 515 feet. The land about Pittsford is slightly rolling, with a general slope in a northerly direction into the Irondequoit basin and Lake On- tario. The station is situated at the western end of the village. The maximum and minimum thermometers are exposed in a shelter built out from the north window of an unused second-story room, their distance from the ground being 15 feet. The shelter is built of window blinds, and is about 18 inches deep, 2 feet 6 inches wide in front and 3 feet 6 inches at the rear. The bottom and top are open, but the cornice of the house, 6 feet above, affords partial protection from weather. Direct rays of the sun are ex- cluded at all hours. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 413 The rain-gauge stands on nearly level ground, and is 60 feet dis- tant from any trees or buildings. The top of the gauge is 6 feet above the ground. Interesting notes as to the course of thunderstorms in this vicinity are furnished by the observer. GREAT LAKE REGION — NIAGARA COUNTY. SratTion, APPLETON — Mr. H. A. VAN WAGONER, OBSERVER. Established, August, 1889; latitude, 43 deg. 20 min. north; longitude, 78 deg. 41 min. west; elevation, 270 feet. This station is situated in the open country, on the broad plain of northern Niagara county, at a distance of 1 mile from Lake Or- tario. The dry and wet bulb maximum and minimum thermometers are mounted, under a hood, at the northern end of Mr. Van Wagoner’s house. They are shielded from the sun’s rays at all hours; in the morning by a wing of the house and also by a canvas screen, and in the afternoon by a building a dozen feet to the west. The instruments are about 5 feet from the ground. The rain-gauge stands between the house and barn, being about 50 feet distant from each. Its top is 4 feet nine inches above the ground, GREAT LAKES — OSWEGO COUNTY. STATION, PALERMO — Mr. E. B. BARTLETT, OBSERVER. Observations commenced in 1854; equipped with standard maximum and minimum ther- mometers (by Signal Service) in July, 1887; fully equipped by State Service in February, 1890; latitude, 43 deg. 24 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 20 min. west; elevation, 460 feet. This station is situated in the open country about 6 miles south- southwest of the town of Mexico, Oswego county. The surface of the surrounding country is rolling; the ridges, which are gener- ally low, extending from northwest to southeast. A hill, said to be the highest point in Oswego county, lies 34} miles southeast of the station, but no marked rise of ground occurs until within half 414 NintH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE a mile of the summit. The station is situated on the northern slope of one of the ridges mentioned. The ground rises rapidly for. a short distance at the rear or south side of the station, but falls away from it on the eastern and northeastern sides, thus giving a free circulation of air from the east, north and west. The thermometers are exposed in a shelter of the dimensions and pattern used by the United States Weather Bureau. This shelter is 6 feet above the ground and 17 feet from the north side of Mr. Bartlett’s house. The rain-gauge is 50 feet from the northeast corner of the house in a clear space. The bottom of the gauge is 1 inch above the ground. Details as to the manner in which long records of temperature and rainfall were obtained by Mr. Bartlett may be found in the report of this bureau for the year 1890. GREAT LAKES — WAYNE COUNTY. Station, Lyons — Mr. WILLARD H. VEEDER, OBSERVER. Date of establishment not known, but prior to 1888; latitude, 43 deg. 06 min. north; ongitude, 77 deg. 00 min. west; elevation, 407 feet. Mr. Veeder’s house is on or near the summit of the gradual slope on which the town of Lyons is situated. The ground falls away gently from the station to the northeast and south, but toward the west is nearly level for a quarter of a mile,to the base of an abrupt ridge, extending in a north and south direction, and 75 to 100 feet in height. The general character of the surrounding country is that of a plain, broken by numerous isolated low hills. The ther- mometers are exposed in a single-louvred shelter about 34 feet in width by 3 feet in height, which is placed out of the window of an unheated room on the second floor and north side of the house. The shelter has a sloping roof and its bottom is closed. The front and sides are of single-louvred work, while at the back the raising of the window-sash gives access to the thermometers. In the early summer the shelter is exposed to the sun up to about 9 a. m., but is shielded from solar rays during the remainder of the day. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 415 The rain-gauge is placed on a roof having a southeastern ex- posure, and is 12 feet above the ground. A second roof rises about 6 feet above the gauge, at a distance of 18 feet from it, and 16 feet toward the northwest a roof also rises about 10 feet above the gauge. CENTRAL LAKES — CAYUGA COUNTY. Station, FLEMING — Mr. RopertT WARWICK, OBSERVER. Established December, 1889; latitude, 42 deg. 51 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 36 min. west; elevation, 1,000 feet. This station is situated in the open country, on the ridge of land lying between Cayuga and Owasco lakes, its distance from the latter being about 24 miles, and from the city of Auburn 4 miles. The surface in the vicinity of the station is quite flat, but with a general slope downward toward the north. The thermometers have recently been removed from the shelter described in the report of 1890, and are now exposed in a corn- house, whose north side is of open lattice work. The thermom- eters are suspended on the north side of the house, 3 feet from the lattice and 6 feet from the ground. The rain-gauge is located about 100 feet west of Mr. Warwick’s house, and is well removed from obstructions to a free air circu- lation. CENTRAL LAKES — SENECA COUNTY. Sration, Romutus — Mr. J. H. CoryELL, OBSERVER. Instruments transferred from Mr. B. BE. Hicks September 7, 1891; latitude, 42 deg. 43 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 56 min. west; elevation, ,719 feet. This station is situated in the western part of the village of Romulus, near the summit of the ridge separating the basins of Cayuga and Seneca lakes. The high southern plateau terminates in a somewhat abrupt descent at Ovid, 6 miles south of Romulus, north of which a comparatively flat country extends to Lake Ontario. 416 NintoH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE The thermometers are exposed in a single-louvred shelter 20 inches wide, 36 inches long, and 30 inches high, with a hinged bottom, and a drop-door in front facing the west. The shelter is located at the eastern side of the house, and is exposed to the di- rect rays of the sun only from 10 to12a.m. The instruments are hung in the center of the shelter at a height of 5 feet 6 inches above the ground. The rain-gauge is 30 feet distant from any buildings or trees, the nearest of the latter being small shrubs 8 feet high. The gauge is 30 inches above the ground. CENTRAL LAKES — TOMPKINS COUNTY. Station, IrHaca — AT THE COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, Cor- NELL UNIVERSITY. Established 1874; latitude, 42 deg. 27 min. north; longitude, 76 deg. 29 min. west; eleva- tion, 810 feet. This station is situated on the hill bordering the eastern side of Cayuga Lake valley, its distance from the head of the lake being about 1 mile and its elevation above the lake level 400 feet. South of the city of Ithaca, which lies immediately below the station, the valley divides into two branches, the first and main branch extend- ing through the hills toward the southwest, while the second forms the narrow channel of Six Mile creek, which flows from the high- lands southeast of the city into Cayuga lake. The meteorological station has an open exposure toward the main valley on the west, while eastward, after a slight rise near the station, the surface is nearly flat along the course of the Fall creek; but numerous hills arise to heights varying from 300 to 500 feet above the general level, at distances of a mile or more to the southeast of the station. The instrumental equipment of the station is as follows: Barometers.— These instruments are placed in the basement clock room of the engineering college. New YorK WEATHER BUREAU. 417 1. The standard, a Fuess normal siphon barometer, is ‘so con- structed that any error due to the presence of air at the top of the mercurial column may be detected and approximately corrected by varying the capacity of the cistern, and so making the column occupy more or less of the vacuum chamber at the top. The press- ure of any gas in the vacuum chamber will increase as the space is diminished, so that, under these conditions, the readings will not agree. 2. A Draper barograph furnishes a continuous record of press- ure. The cistern of this instrument is suspended upon long spiral springs, while the main tube is fixed. The proportions of the va- rious parts are such that a rise of pressure forces the mercury up into the tube from the cistern, which then rises; and a decreasing pressure produces a contrary effect. ‘The record is made by a pen attached to the cistern, which bears against a record sheet moved horizontally by clock work. ‘Since this barograph acts by balanc- ing the weight of the mercurial column against the weight of the atmosphere, the correction for the temperature of the mercurial column is very small, falling within the limits of other errors of the instrument. The latter seldom amount to 0.01 inch. 3. A Green’s Fortin barometer of the ordinary pattern, having a fixed zero point, to which the level of the cistern is adjusted, is used for purposes of current comparisons. Thermometers.— 1. Standard dry bulb and maximum and mini- mum thermometers are mounted in a shelter of the Weather Bu- reau pattern. The shelter stands about 40 feet east of the college building, upon a grass plot sloping downward toward the west; the height of the instruments above the sod being about 6 feet. 2. A continuous record of temperature is furnished by a Richard thermograph placed in the shelter. The pen tracing the record is attached to an arm whose position is governed by the expan- sion or contraction of a metal tube filled with alcohol. The record- ing sheet is carried by a cylinder, revolved by clock-work, at the rate of one turn per week. This thermograph, which is very accu- rate when properly adjusted, is checked by comparison with the adjacent standard thermometer, 27 418 NIntH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Hygrometers.— The shelter also contains a hair hygrometer (Richard’s), whose registering mechanism is similar to that of the thermograph; but in this case the pen arm is moved by the expansion and contraction of a bundle of hairs which are rendered very sensitive to the action of moisture by a special process of the makers. The index or datum of this hygrometer is liable to change somewhat during prolonged wet or dry periods; but gives very satisfactory results when adjusted from time to time to agree with the values of humidity indicated by the whirled psychrometer. (See “ Instructions to voluntary ob- servers ” for full information regarding the latter instrument.) A Richard dry and wet bulb recording hygrometer has also been used at this station, but thus far has not proved as satis- factory as the instrument just described. In principle it con- sists of two Richard thermographs, one of which has its alcohol tube moistened constantly by muslin dipping into a reservoir, while the other tube is kept dry. The instrument is so con- structed, however, that the records of both dry and wet bulbs are traced upon the same cylinder. Evaporometer.—An evaporometer (Richard’s) is located beneath the shelter at a height of 2 feet from the ground; direct sunlight and driving rain or snow being excluded by louvred sides. The evaporometer consists, essentially, of a pair of scales, one pan of which carries the water, whose evaporation is to be measured, and a pen attached by suitable mechanism to the scale arm, which records on a rotating cylinder the rise or fall of the scale beam as the quantity of water is diminished or increased. Actinometer.—An actinometer or sunshine recorder (Richard’s) is mounted on a shelf out of a south window of the college. The intensity of solar heat is measured by the difference in tem-_ perature between two glass bulbs 4 inches in diameter, placed side by side, one of which is coated with lamp-black while the other is silvered. ‘The two have the same temperature (nearly) when the sky is overcast, but the black bulb absorbs the heat of solar rays more rapidly than the bright under a clear sky. Each New YorK WERATHER BUREAU. 419 bulb contains a coil of copper tube filled with alcohol, and com- municating with separate tubes similar to those of the thermo- graphs, each of which has its recording lever and pen, whose tracings are made on a cylinder rotating once in two days. The differences between the temperatures traced by the two levers indicate the intensity of the solar radiation. Wind Registers.— Two sets of wind registers are in use at the central station, each set furnishing an automatic record both of velocity and direction. Firstly, the instruments provided eighteen years ago by the director, and whose records have since been maintained, are mounted about 8 feet above the ridge of the engineering building and 75 feet above the ground. The wind vane has for its axis a rod which is brought down through the roof, and carries at its lower extremity a cylinder about 3 inches in diameter and 9 inches long. A pencil held in a suitable car- riage moves vertically down the length of the cylinder in 24 hours; and since the cylinder turns with the vane, the pencil tracing upon a sheet of paper which is wrapped around the cylin- der, furnishes a continuous record of the wind direction. The anemometer, which is of the Robinson pattern, has four hemispherical cups carried on spokes radiating from a vertical axis. Rotation is caused by the greater force which the wind exerts upon the concave over that upon the convex sides of the cups; and when the number of revolutions indicates 1 mile of wind travel, an electric contact is made by a mechanism attached to the axle of the anemometer. Wires attached to the instrument transmit the current to a Gibbon reg- ister located on the first floor of the building. we = od . se “ + rw, Pe esh) 1c (eee 424 Annuat Report or tHE New York Wzearuer Burxat Dry and wet maximum and minimum thermometers are lo in a shelter built after the United States Weather Bureau sp fications.

Professor I. P. Roberts, Director. DEAR SIR :— I have the honor to present the following report of the Botani- cal Division of the Experiment Station for the past six months. There have been published two Bulletins during the year, as follows: A Disease of Currant Canes, Bulletin 125, February, 1897, by E. J. Durand, assistant botanist during the previous year. Two Destructive Celery Blights, by B. M. Duggar, assist- ant botanist. These articles were published in Bulletin 132, March, 1897. Work is in progress upon the following subjects: A very thorough study has been made of several of the parasitic fungi known as anthracnoses which attack fruits and various vege- tables. The matter is being prepared for a bulletin but con- siderable time is necessary to complete it because of the numerous illustrations. It is hoped, however, to present it sometime during the coming autumn. A great deal of attention is being given to the preparation of illustrations in the way of fine photographs of the larger fungi known as mushrooms, with a view to publishing a series of bulletins on the edible, poisonous and indifferent species in the State, for the purpose of arousing an interest in the value for food of the edible species and to give simple directions for becoming acquainted with the more common species. Studies are also in progress on the diseases of timber and forest trees, and already many valuable illustrations have been made for future bulletins of an educational character, as well as of scientific value. XX REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. In connection with this, investigations have been begun upon the development and embryology of certain of the forest trees, especially, at present, the pines and other conifers, with a view to determining rate of growth, distribution, fertility of seed, as - well as the conditions which influence or modify the life of these trees. Mr. B. M. Duggar, the assistant botanist, is engaged upon several lines of investigation. Practical and scientific studies are being made by him of certain celery diseases, and of the leaf spot of the pear. Other investigations are being started which will lead to important results it is hoped. Beside the work of investigation and of instruction which Mr. Duggar is carrying on, the correspondence is constantly increasing in reference to diseases of various kinds which attack fruits, vege- tables, etc., so that a considerable part of his time is taken up with these matters. The work of the year besides the results of the investigations has added materially to the equipment of the Division in the way of illustrations, negatives, etc., besides the additions to the apparatus by purchase. Very respectfully yours, GEO. F. ATKINSON, Botanist. REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. To the Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Expert- ment Station. SiR. As the carrying out of the Entomological work of the Sta- tion has been performed during the past six months almost en- tirely by the Assistant Entomologist, I have requested him to prepare a report on it, which I hereby transmit. Very respectfully yours, JOHN HENRY COMSTOCK, Entomologist. To the Entomologist of the Cornell University Agricultural Ex- periment Station. SE During the period covered by this report (from January Ist, 1897, to July ist, 1897), the work of the Entomological Division of the Station has been along the same lines as in pre- vious years, but it has been of a somewhat different nature in some respects. Thus far, the year 1897 has been quite a re- markable one in New York State, so far as the prevalence of in- sect life is concerned. Many of our common insect pests which are more or less destructive every year have been conspicuously numerous and injurious, while some other insects which usually harass the fruit grower every year have attracted attention to themselves by their absence or non-occurrence in injurious numbers. In the former class are to be mentioned plant-lice, which have been much more numerous and destructive on many different kinds of vegetation all over the State than for many years before ; canker worms have again ravaged many acres of apple orchards in the western part of the State; in May and June, thousands of ap- ple and wild cherry trees all over the State bore the unsightly tents XXil REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. of the common apple-tree tent caterpillar(C/s¢ocampa americana), and many of the trees were entirely stripped of their foliage by the ravenous hordes of these caterpillars; at the present time (July Ist), the forest-tent caterpillar (CZs¢ocampa disstria) is ravaging acres of shade and forest trees in several parts of the State (it was mistaken for the gypsy moth in Delaware county); the pearpsylla has again appeared in immense numbers in many pear orchards and the crop of fruit is seriously threatened. On the other hand, however, as we predicted in Bulletin 133, the army-worm seems not to have attracted attention anywhere in the State this year, although thousands of armies of the worms ruined thousands of acres of field crops last year; many of the larger plum growers in the State have been agreeably surprised this year to find that their old and dreaded enemy—the plum curculio—did notappear in numbers sufficient to make it necessary to go to the trouble and expense of fighting it; one of our largest quince growers also writes that the quince curculio (Conotrachelus crataegt) also ap- peared in surprisingly small numbers this summer; we had in- tended to begin a critical study of the life-history of white grubs this spring but were unable to find enough of the May beetles to start the experiment; for two or three years the crops of New York farmers have suffered from hordes of grasshoppers, but this year, doubtless owing to the work of their enemies and to climatic conditions, grasshoppers appear to be scarce in many localities. Thus the year 1897 has thus far been one of peculiar interest, from an entomological standpoint, in New York. The facts given in the above paragraph have been brought out by our extensive correspondence and by personal observations while engaged in lecture work under the auspices of the Nixon Bill. No new outbreak of any insect pest has thus far occurred which seemed to necessitate carrying on extensive experiments at the insectary in the study of its habits or methods of combat- ing it. Our time has been fully occupied in continuing work that was begun last year or in previous years, also in preparing some of last year’s results for publication, and in attending to the mass of correspondence arising from the sudden and unusually destruc- tive outbreaks of the well-known insect pests mentioned above. REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. XXili However, as the quince curculio was so destructive last year in some localities as to lead growers to seriously consider the ad- visability of cutting down their orchards, we have taken up the critical study of its habits this year and hope to be able to reach some practicable conclusions regarding methods of controlling such a serious pest. The following bulletins have been published from this Divi- sion during the past six months: No. 124, The Pistol-Case-Bearer. No. 126, The Currant-Stem Girdler and the Raspberry-Cane Maggot. i No. 133, The Army-Worm in New York. Our inability to get the results of our last year’s study of the codlin moth ready for publication in the spring has enabled us to verify our observations this year; our conclusions will soon be put in shape for publication as a bulletin. The results of our last year’s applications in our extensive peach borer experi- ment have just been ascertained, and they reveal some striking and valuable facts which will add much definite data to our knowledge of how to fight this serious peach pest. We expect to be able to collate and digest the details of our work with this insect which have accumulated during the past three years, and get the conclusions ready for publication during the coming year. Our endeavor to give each correspondent the latest and best information at our command results in a rapid increase in the correspondence of this Division. About five hundred queries were answered during the past six months; fifty of these were prepared for publication in agricultural journals. The fact that we are thus often enabled to reach special and urgent cases quickly, renders the correspondence of this Division one of the most valuable and important features of its work. We have also published several technical articles in entomological journals. Respectfully submitted, M. V. SLINGERLAND, Assistant Entomologist. * sirtit Wi ‘ ibSE v aa: z laid peiid & L lan 1h) va i} sy ys REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURIST: To the Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Expert- ment Station. SIR :— Since my last report to you two bulletins have been published by the Department, No. 130, Potato Culture, and No. 135, Forage Crops. These bulletins give the results of experi- ments extending over a period of two years. To verify the results published, the experiments are being repeated this year and the results will probably be published as a supplementary bulletin. An interesting line of work, and one which now promises well, is the intro-culture of grain crops. For three years the experi- ment has been conducted with wheat and this year it has been extended to oats. A question which is seriously puzzling the farmers of the State is how they can best control the wild carrot, the mustard and the cress, all of which have been abundant in the oat fields the past season. We believe that a practical so- lution of the question will be found in intro-culture. It remains now to have manufactured some implement so that the work can be performed cheaply and efficiently by horse-hoe tillage. The study of leguminous plants and their comparative value as nitrogen gatherers, commenced last year, is being continued. An effort is being made to determine what portion of the nitro- gen stored up by the clover plant is actually taken from the at- mosphere and what from the soil. The investigation in connec- tion with this work will necessarily have to be extended over a series of years. Certain leguminous plants which in their native soil and climate produce root tubercles have been found not to produce them here. By asystem of soil inoculation it is hoped that these nodules or tubercles may be induced to grow and that XXVI REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURIST. we may thus add to the list of our valuable nitrogen-gathering leguminous plants. In the spring of 1896, one thousand white ash seedlings were set in the University woodland. These seedlings were pur- chased and set at a total cost of only twocents each. From seventy-five to eighty per cent. of them are now living and making good growth. The result of this experiment so far would indicate that much of the hilly land unfit for cultivation could far more profitably be devoted to forestry. Many causes have combined to awaken an interest in the manufacture of beet sugar. This department is conducting ex- tensive experiments to determine whether the beets can be profitably grown in this State, what system of tillage is best, and what fertilizers are required to give the highest per cent. of sugar. Beet seed, with directions for planting the same and caring for the product, have been sent to over three hundred farmers who are co-operating in the experiment. The work with sugar beets at the home grounds this year is mainly in determining what fertilizers give best results both as to yield, sugar content and purity. The work of the Division is largely confined to lines of in- vestigation which are practical in their nature, and an attempt is being made not only to discover new truths but to emphasize and enforce old ones, and to show plainly that success in agri- culture depends largely upon improved practices and methods of tillage. | : Respectfully submitted, L. A. CLINTON, Assistant Agriculturist. REPORT OF ITE: hORTICULTURISE: To the Director of Cornell University, Agricultural Experiment Station. SIR :— In the absence of Professor Bailey, I can make only a partial report of the progress of work in this Division from January Ist to July Ist, 1897. Of the out-door work the successful contest with the San José scale is perhaps the most pressing for early publication. Two thorough and timely sprayings with kerosene and water, in a com- bination of one part to four, saved all the kinds of shrubs treated, and we have not seen a live insect since. This experience has brought out anumber of points which will doubtless be welcome news in the midst of the general anxiety. Among the tree fruits, progress has been made in the permanent orchards which were devoted to carefully planned and far reaching fertilizer experi- ments. Some new varieties of Japanese plums are fruiting for the first time and the Station is fortunate in having the expert services of Mr. S. D. Willard, of Geneva, in judging the varieties of this popular new type of plums. A new vineyard has been set and important accessions made. The work in small fruit culture has consisted largely of local fertilizer experiments in six straw- berry fields of Oswego county, the results of which are very grati- fying and of great general interest. Two beds of strawberries have been set, one of new varieties, and one to continue the in- door work. In vegetable gardening we are in the midst of our second year of investigations with celeriac and Brussels sprouts. An acre of celery has also been planted on the onion meadows of Orange county in an attempt to introduce the culture of this crop within easy shipping distance of the large eastern markets. In floriculture the work is confined to studies of cannas, dahlias, XXVIL1 REPORT OF THE HORTICULTURIST. and to the vexed problems concerned in the forcing of Ber- muda lilies for Easter, and to chrysanthemums. The indoor work now looks toward a long series of cultural experiments in the forcing of fruits; collections of apricots, peaches and cherries are ready, and as soonas the proper facili- ties are at hand the growing of grapes from a commercial standpoint is to be undertaken. One of the smaller green- houses has been remodelled for a strawberry forcing house to follow up the successful work of last winter, reviewed in Bul- letin 134. Very respectfully submitted, C. E. HUNN, in charge. REPORT OF THES IREASURER: The Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, tn ac- count with the United States appropriation, 1896-7.

The Pistol-Case-Bearer in Western New York, CoRNELL UNIVERSITY, IrHaca, N. Y., January 1, 1897. THE HONORABLE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE, ALBANY. Siv -—The following paper considers another of the many insects which contribute their share towards making fruit-growing a scientific business. The observation of any insect and the study of truthful descriptions of it, are direct means of education ; and the final mastery of it is a means of encouraging and fortify- ing the farmer in every adversity. This bulletin, therefore, has two distinct merits,—the imparting of immediate information concerning the pest, and the power of inspiring correct and hope- ful habits of thought; it is therefore submitted for publication under Chapter 437 of the law designed to extend the experiment station method and work.

Coleophora malivorella Riley. Order LEPIDOPTERA ; superfamily TINEINA. Among the most interesting insects that trouble the fruit grower are those known as ‘‘case-bearers;’’ thus named from the fact that in their destructive stage they are encased in curiously-shaped suits which they wear wherever they go. One of these insects, the cigar-case-bearer, has done much damage in western New York orchards since 1893 ; it was illustrated and discussed in Bulletin 93. During the past year another case-bearer appeared in large numbers in several apple orchards in western New York and proved even more destructive than the cigar-case-bearer. Frequently both kinds of these case-bearers and the bud-moth (Bulletin 107) worked together on the same branch. In 1896, many New York farmers and fruit-growers became acquainted for the first time with several insects which seemed to have suddenly appeared in their field crops or orchards in destruct- ive numbers. ‘The army-worm, the green fruit worms (Bulletin 123), and the case-bearer under discussion, are illustrations of this fact. ‘Io many, these insects were new pests ; and it is a remark- able fact that, although all of them have occurred in our state for many years and have at times been injurious, it has been nearly fifteen years since any of them appeared in sufficient numbers to do noticeable injury. HISTORY, DISTRIBUTION, AND FOOD-PLANTS OF THE INSECT. This pistol-case-bearer is an American insect, and first attracted attention in 1877 in a large apple orchard of over 8000 trees in Erie County in Pennsylvania. The owner of this orchard reported that it seemed as if there was one on each bud on almost every tree in the orchard; the next year the insect was still more destructive, rendering large numbers of trees nearly leafless. Specimens of the insect were sent to Dr. Riley, and in 1879, he published (Ann. Rept. of Com. of Agr. for 1878, p. 253) a brief 6 BULLETIN 124. illustrated account of the pest, describing and naming it as new to science. Scarcely anything new has been recorded about the insectsince. What wasdoubtless the same case-bearer was recorded from Kentucky in 1878, and was found upon chestnut bark near Ithaca, N. Y.,in 1880. Inthe spring of 1882, theinsect did con- siderable damage in apple orchards at South Byron, N. Y. It did not again attract serious attention in New York state until 1896. In 1891, a few specimens were sent to Dr. Lintner from Lansing, Oswego Co., and Walworth, Wayne Co., and the same year we found some of the cases on a wild cherry tree near the insectary. The insect was reported as occurring in Nebraska and adjoining states in 1894, and we received a few specimens from Sodus, Wayne Co., N. Y., thesame year. In 1895, it was found in Canada and in New Mexico. During the past year, the insect did much damage in large apple orchards at Geneva and at Walworth, N. Y. We also received it from Clarkson, Monroe Co., N. Y. It has been recorded from New Jersey as common on apple, plum and cherry. Thus the insect has quite a wide range of food-plants, including the three orchard fruits just mentioned, and probably the chest- nut. It is also widely distributed over the country, occurring from Canada southward through New York and Pennsylvania and westward through Nebraska into New Mexico. It has been injurious only in New York and Pennsylvania. Nothing can be predicted as to its future. How distributed.—It is claimed that the pest was introduced into the far west on eastern nursery stock. ‘This is doubtless by far the most fruitful source for the distribution of the insect. ITS .APPEARANCH. On account of its small size and peculiar habits, the insect itself in any stage, will rarely be noticed by the fruit-grower.

The al- ternation of the rings of dark and white scales give the antennz and legs a curious annulated appearance. The basal joint of each antenna in both sexes bears a conspicuous tuft of scales, those of the female being considerably larger.* All of these characteris- Head, black with a yellow median suture; antennz, yellow.

The anal shield is also black. The true legs are black, with the distal segment and the extremities of the other segments yellowish. The four pairs of pro-legs are of the same color as the body, ex- cept the anal ones which are slightly darker and have a large black spot near the base of each. The whole surface of the body is granulated, more stronglyso on the thoracic and anal segments. A few hairs arise from the head, thorax and anal segment. This description, taken from full-grown living specimens of the caterpil- lars differs considerably from Dr. Riley’s description in his report for 1878. None of the caterpillars that Dr. Riley had, seem to have been pre- served, so that we cannot explain these striking differences. *In his description of the moth (Ann. Rept. Com. of Agr. for 1878, p. 254), Dr. Riley states that the males have no tuft on the basal antennal joint; he describes the tufts of the females. How this mistake occurred is not known. Mr. L. O. Howard, U. S. Entomologist, writes me as follows: ‘* There are ten specimens of Coleophora malivorella in the National Museum collection. Five of these are males and five are females. The tuft on the basal joint of the antennz occurs in 4o0¢h sexes, but isa little longer in the femalesthan in the male. One of these males has lost the tuft entirely and in another is partly gone. It was also completely lost in one of the females, All of these ten specimens are from the original 1878 rearings. Dr. Riley probably examined the single male which had lost the tuft.”’ PLATE 1.—The pistol-case-bearer (Coleophora malivorella Riley). a a, the moth (the upper figure represents the female and the lower one, the male insect), enlarged about four times; b, b. b, small cases. with the caterpillars projecting from them, much enlarged, c, an apple branch bearing several of the case-bearers in position for moulting; a, the eggs, very much enlarged. d yee S ; | < Me - .

CORNELL UNIVERSITY, Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 1, 1897. THE HONORABLE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE, ALBANY. Sir: The following account of a currant disease, of which almost nothing has heretofore been known, is submitted as a bulletin under provision of Chapter 437 of the laws of 1896. This cane-blight is probably more widespread and serious than anyone has suspected, and it would not surprise us if it should be found that much of the trouble with currants which is laid to hard winters and poor soil is really the result of the work of this fungus.

No doubt they would be more extensively grown were their value and uses well understood. ‘They are not recommended as being valuable as a part of the regular rotation, but as catch crops or special crops they havetheir place. They are very depleting to the soil and many have had unsatisfactory experience in feeding them to stock. Every farmer should have a knowledge of the proper use of the millets and of their place in the farm economy. Hungarian grass is in most common use in the east, while in the west common millet and in the south German millet are more popu- lar. One value of millet lies in the fact that it can be sown late, in fact must not be sown until all danger from frost is over. It develops rapidly and during midsummer is ready to begin cutting for forage about thirty days from time of seeding. The Hunga- rian is quicker maturing than the millets and for late sowing is pref- erable to either the common or the German millet. In such a year as 1894 or 1895, when many farmers found their hay crop a disap- pointment and were at a loss to know how to supplement it, Hun- garian or millet would possibly have served the purpose well. The soil should be rich and given thorough preparation. Clay soils which are inclined to be lumpy require extra precaution in fitting. The amount of seed required varies from one- half bushel to three pecks per acre, which should be har- rowed in lightly and rolled. On freshly cleared or bottom-land soils it makes a rank growth and is available for forage at a time when it is usually found necessary to supplement the pastures. Though it is a gross feeder yet this fact may be of actual benefit to the kinds of soil just mentioned. Feeding millet green. When stock is turned in upon a field of green millet for the first time, or a heavy feed is given, there is danger that serious re- sults may follow. Animals not accustomed to green forage should not at first be allowed a full feed of any green crop, especially mil- let, but should be given only a part ration of the green material. If allowed to gorge themselves serious results may fol- low. If it is desired that the animals be turned upon the crop to pasture this should be done only after their appetite has been partly appeased by other food. 294 BULLETIN 135+ Millet hay is not in popular favor owing to the fatal results which, in some cases, have followed its use. Just why these unsatisfactory results sometimes follow does not seem to be clear. In feeding it to horses caution should be observed and the millet hay used in conjunction with some other coarse fodder. Much of the value of millet hay seems to depend upon the time of cut- ting, which should be done soon after blossoming. SORGHUM, TEOSINTE, SACALINE, ETC. These crops are mentioned in this bulletin only for the fact that many inquiries are received asking about their merits for this section. While sorghum seems to possess some value, yet for forage,corn is so far superior, when all things are considered, that where it can be raised sorghum is not a necessity in the rotation. It seems to possess its chief value in the fact that it is able to withstand drought and grow under conditions where corn would be a failure. So far as our experiments with teosinte and sacaline go we cannot recommend them for general use. Though they may possess value for certain localities, yet in New York there are so many crops which can be successfully grown for forage that the farmers should be slow to adopt the new varieties except by way of experiment until they have been tested and proven of value. CRIMSON CLOVER. Figure 79 shows a plat of crimson clover, the seed for which was sown August 1, the photograph being taken late in October. This clover was growing on land from which a foragecrop of oats and peas had been cut. There has been much discussion at Farmers’ Institutes and in the columns of the Agricultural press as to the value of crimson clover in this state, as a forage crop and as an improver of the soil. ‘To answer these questions in part and to determine the relative value of the different clovers there were planted side by side on August 1, 1896, three plats of clover, one of crimson, one of common red and one of mammoth. The soil were gravelly and porous. All varieties of clover came up quickly and made good growth. ‘The crimson clover, how- ever, made far more rapid growth in the fall than did the others. One object of these experiments was to determine the amount Z 79.—flat of Crimson Clover. 296 BULLETIN 135. of nitrogen stored up by the different varieties of clover. On November 2, samples were taken of each kind of clover, the roots and tops of each being taken as the sample. The chemical analysis shows the following amount of nitrogen stored up in each per acre. Nitrogen in tops Nitrogen in roots Total pounds of Variety of clover. (pounds). (pounds). nitrogen per acre.

It had, however, served its purpose as a cover crop and for late fall pasture would have been valuable, leaving in the ground enough fertilizing material to pay for the expense of the seeding. SUMMARY. 1. Some provision should be made on every stock farm for forage and soiling crops. 2. The most valuable crop for the production of late forage is corn, and corn planted in hills is more valuable for feeding pur- poses that when drilled or sown broadcast. 3. Oats and peas are second in value tocorn for the production of forage. For late forage barley and peas are recommended. 4. Millets are valuable and when fed properly may be used without danger. 5. Crimson clover proved valuable for late fall pasture and as a cover crop. Its greatest value with us was from the fact of its storing up nitrogen so abundantly. I. P. ROBERTS. lL. A. CLINTON.

HONORABLE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE, ALBANY, Sir :—The following bulletin from the Horticultural Divison is a part of the work which was planned under the Nixon Bill for last year. For two or three years considerable work has been done by this station in floriculture, with the object of helping both florists and flower-lovers everywhere. The bulletins have awakened much interest and have, undoubtedly, done much good in calling attention to a branch of agriculture which has heretofore received little consideration from the public institu- tions of the country. ‘The work has been done with the greatest care and deliberation, and the bulletin is submitted for publica- tion under Chapter 128 of the laws of 1897. I. P. RoBERTsS, Director. I. GENERAL REMARKS. (ZL. Z. Bailey.) For three years we have made a special effort to study the problems associated with the florists’ chrysanthemums, and this is the third report which we have published upon the work. Our object in this, as in all floricultural study, is to help both the general flower-lover and the professional florist, and we can- not, therefore, devote our attention wholly to amateur methods upon the one hand, nor to the raising of exhibition blooms upon the other. We stand for the buyer as well as for the seller ; and the ques- tion therefore at once arises as to what the real measure of a variety is. Is one bloom, or one vase of blooms, chosen from a score or a hundred or a thousand plants which have received the utmost care and forcing, to be taken as the ideal of the variety ? It is the fashion to describe varieties of florists’ plants from just such blooms,—from those which draw the prizes in the exhibi- tions. But since there are few persons who can give this ex- tra care and skill to the growing of a few plants, even if they cared to do so, and since only a part (and often a small part) of any number of plants can be expected to give such results, even under extra treatment, it is easy to see why the novelties are so often a disappointment tothe buyer. The fact is, that the highly forced and extra-selected exhibition flower is not always the true measure of what a variety is, but is a measure of what may be done with a few plants. ‘The true type or measure of any variety is the composite character which a whole patch gives, under good care. The flower show is of the greatest value as a popular educator and as a source of information and inspiration to the plant-breeder, but it is not the place in which the general flower- grower should expect to see what a variety actually is. It is often possible to select a few most meritorious exhibition blooms from a range of plants of an inferior variety. If these points are well taken, then it follows that an experi- ment station, when reporting upon the merits of varieties, should CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 301 aim to present a true composite picture of what the variety is when grown under good and fair conditions. If the station ex- hibits, its province seems to lie in the same direction. At all events, the writer will mever consent to make an exhibit of varieties from the station unless he can show everything, good and bad alike. This is not saying that he disparages the display of exhibition blooms by a station, but in such cases the exhibi- tion is to show cultural methods, not to show varieties. Ifa station desires to test the varieties of any plant, it exceeds its aim when it endeavors to see how much it can improve those vari- eties by forceful culture ; for the purpose is to find out what the varieties are, not what they may be compelled to be. And even if the experimenter were to desire to force every variety to the exhibition standard, he could not do so with several hundred varieties ; and to force one and not another would be anything but truthfulness. These remarks seem to be necessary in order to place the subject of variety-testing in its true light, and to let florists see why it is that our descriptions of varieties are sometimes so unlike the descriptions in catalogues. Another feature of the subject needs also to be touched upon. We said upon a former occasion that we do not always receive the best stock which dealers have. By this we mean that we believe that the ordinary run of commercial stock is commonly received, whilst the exhibition blooms at the flower shows are preferably grown from extra-good stock, which, in many cases, is not for sale. It is no doubt better that an experi- ment station should receive thiscommercial stock, for it thereby ar- tives at a more truthful conclusion as to the actual merits of the variety. In some cases we have received plants which are so poor that no fair and true idea of the variety can be obtained from them ; and from such stock, and from that which may have re- ceived inadequate attention on our own part, we intend never to publish results. These remarks are made for the sole purpose of emphasizing the fact that the quality of the stock ,—as respects vigor, healthfulness, early propagation, and the like,—is of the utmost importance in the growing of any plant, and particularly of florists’ flowers. To bring the subject home, we have inserted a picture (Fig. 82, page 308) showing the variation with which / 302 BULLETIN 136. we often have to contend in the testing of plants. The two plants at the left are fit to produce excellent flowers (though not trained for the production of exhibition blooms) whilst those at the right are plants which are expected to be compared with them. The past season it was so necessary to give forceful cul- ture,—by very heavy fertilizing,—to bring some of the plants into line, that the strong plants (which grew in the same bed) re- ceived an additional and perhaps untrue advantage. Even then, some of the plants could not be made to bloom. It may be well to say, once for all, that these estimates of floral novelties are not mere hurried and incidental measurements and opinions. When any flower is under test, at least one man lives with it when itis in bloom. Hespends the greater part of his time with it. Every description of the varieties is read and com- pared with the plants, the flowers are studied from every point of view, and an opinion is obtained from every visitor who has a critical knowledge of the subject. This careful study day by day is more than the florist, busy with the demands of trade, can ex- pect to give. Theerrors, therefore, are those which are to be attributed to faulty judgment and to the behavior of plants grown from poor stock. In the following chrysanthemums, for ex- ample, the judgments are not those of Mr. Miller alone. They are a compound of the opinions of himself, Mr. Hunn, myself, and of many persons who visited us. This means that we desire to do more, if we can, than to make a mere variety test. We should like to keep pace with the range of variation, the tendencies, and the needs, in any plant which we study. Wehaveno desire simply to recommend varieties. We have no interest in a variety as such. If, for example, we commend Lenawee amongst chrysanthemums, it is not because we have the slightest concern for that variety as an entity or trade novelty, but simply because that name has been applied to what seems to be the highest development of a particular type of white flower. We hope that the evolution will reach a higher point in the present year. A leading difficulty with old varieties of any flower is the fact that they tend to run out by variation. ‘The very fact that such various results are got from different grades of stock is proof that CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 303 a variety may soon be broken up into a number of strains, some of which may be good and others bad. ‘The careful grower, therefore, will either propagate his own stock of the varieties which he likes or else exercise the greatest care to see that the stock he buys comes from plants which are true to the type. In respect to the varieties of chrysanthemums, I am convinced that there is too great a tendency to grow novelties. Some of the old varieties are still the best of their class and should be retained, and very many of the novelties—in fact, most of them— seem to represent no distinct advance. It appears to us as if these novelties are not always thoroughly tested and understood before introduction. If we could have a few extra-choice things introduced each year and all the rest left in oblivion, the interests of all parties would be more permanently enhanced. We need, also, to give greater attention to the hardy or border varieties of chrysanthemums. We have given such exclusive attention to the glass-house flower that the very name chrysan- themum has come to mean, to people at large, the great, noble, florists’ flower of November. But there are humbler forms of the plant which may be set in the open ground and there allowed to remain year by year, the same as they did in our mothers’ gardens. Some of the modern forms of these plants are pretty and interesting. Even the old-time forms are not to be despised, for if they lack size and quality of bloom, they nevertheless give a wealth of color with very little trouble. The title-page illustrates an old-time, out-door type of chrysanthemum familar to a former generation as garden artemisias. Their chief merit is hardiness; The flowers are produced in great profusion, and they extend the season of pompons a month or more after the first frost has killed the dahlias. It is the race from which the large Chinese chrysanthemums of the green- houses are said to be derived. We still see them in the old gar- dens, in various shades of red and yellow, and running into whites of the form of Comet asters. The flowers on the title-page are natural size. 304 BULLETIN 136. II. CORNELL NOTES oF 1896. (Wilhelm Miller.) Chrysanthemums at home—The principles underlying the cultivation of chrysanthemums are the same as those of other plants. Specific directions are given in bulletins 91 and 112. There are two other points which it is welltoknow. The choice of varieties is all-important to those who delight in getting the highest results from skill and patience. ‘The form can be chosen 80.—Oriental Glory. Natural size. CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1866. 305 from the illustrations in some of these bulletins and the descrip- tion will tell the color. Itis well to make a list with several substitutes. The best plan of all, if you attend chrysanthemum shows in the fall, is to note down the names of desirable varieties in case the names are given, as they should be. Another good point to understand is the theory and practice of draining a flower pot. The florist who is unwilling to show a buyer how he can straddle the stem of a plant with two fingers, tap the pot gently and lay bare the whole root system and drainage of his plant, is losing an opportunity to instruct his customer and to hold his future interest. If anything is wrong with a potted plant, look at the roots. Some people are afraid to handle plants. A potted plant has no _ objection to being turned upside down, and whoever has seen the broken bits of crock and the reason for the hole in the bottom of the pot (not made to be closed) will never again sprinkle the leaves of a plant or the surface of the soil only, when he desires to water it. Nature soaks her plants once in a while and capillarity does the rest. Chrysanthemums are for the com- mon people as well as for the florist. Buy strong plants early (in May or early in June) andifyou have no pots, plant them in small soap boxes. Make the soil rich, keep the plants free of insects and away from strong winds, train the plant into four or five strong branches (or more or less, as you desire), and pinch out all the buds, save eight or ten. If you want the largest blooms, grow to a single stem and allow only one flower to a plant. As cold weather approaches, the plants may be moved to the win- dow, where they should bloom to perfection. Amateurs are frequently disappointed in the growing of the novelties. The system of prizes and certificates is of more use to the professional or exhibition grower than to the amateur who is looking for a list of varieties. No amateur can make a mistake who gets good plants of Laciniatum, one of the good old forms. Lillian B. Bird is one of the most attractive of the tubu- lar kinds and has always had, at Cornell, the softest and purest of light pinks we know among chrysanthemums, unless it be Good Gracious (See Fig. 81). ‘This figure shows a ‘‘ low cen- ter’’ anda ‘‘ weak neck ”’ two of the ancestral bogies of florists. 306 BULLETIN 136. The very droop of this stem seems to me to add to the beauty. Indeed, chrysanthemums in vases are sometimes so stiff-necked that they cannot see anything but the ceiling. The list of good old varieties is large, and any wide-awake florist can give reliable information concerning them. 81.—Good Gracious, one of the older types. Cultural notes of the 1896 test.—In 1895, our novelties were grown toa single stem and allowed to produce only one flower each. ‘This is certainly the best commercial method of obtaining exhibition blooms and large cut flowers for sale in the cities. CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 307 For all other purposes there is more satisfaction in having three to six flowers on a plant, as we did the past year. We have never received so uneven a lot of plants as in 1896. It seems to be hopeless to get a uniform lot of plants representing all the novelties, in the year of their introduction. The last lot of American varieties came last year on the last day of August and the plants that were fit for testing together were not planted out in the bed until August 22, a month late for ideal results. This bed was composed of well rotted clay sod and manure, in the proportion of four to one. A liberal sprinkling of bone meal was worked in, and the bed thoroughly cultivated by hand. On the 26th of September, applications of liquid cow manure were begun. Never was there a more uneven lot of plants than those shown in our photographs of the bed, and never has Mr. Hunn, in his long experience with chrysanthe- mums, dared to give the bedded plants so much stimulating food. The results far exceeded our expectations, and the November display was a brilliant one, although the novelties themselves were not intrinsically as meritorious with us as in 1895, which was a year of exceptional advances. The importance of beginning early can hardly be over-esti- mated. We got the best results from such plants asthe largest one shown in Fig. 82. This was the typical home-grown plant from March cuttings. The next largest plant was a fair sample of a lot grown from rooted cuttings received April 22. The four small plants represent fair samples of lots received from different sources in summer. All of them were represented in the trial bed and none gave anything like the satisfaction we got from home- grown plants of varieties introduced the year before. There are two great factors in producing chrysanthemums,—the quality of stock received and the subsequent management. How important the former element is may be seen by contrasting Figs. 83 and 84. Here we have the best results that we were able to produce from poor and good stock. Notice how much fewer and weaker the rays are in the one case, and how completely double is the flower of Fig. 84. Indeed the latter has the over-fed look which one often sees in the exhibition hall. Coarse, heavy rays are are not always a varietal characteristic but usually a mat- 308 BULLETIN 136. ter of gross feeding, which really obliterates the more refined individuality. A great year for whites—The year 1895 was marked by great advances among the yellows, and 1896 saw the introduction of many new types of whites. Out of more than one hundred varieties grown at Cornell, five of the six best were whites. These five, Lenawee, Lady Esther Smith, Infatuation, Yanoma and Gretchen Buettner, are all highly individual and attractive in form. For the third one on this list, 17vs. W. P. Raynor would 82.—Photograph Aug. 22. The two larger plants were potted early,— the four small ones received in July. furnish almost an even choice. We dare not condemn it for being only a few days later, for that may not be a varietal char- acter and no one can know, in a single season, whether it is a matter of culture or variety. Three others are strongly recom- mended by growers, Autumn Bride, Mrs. H. H. Battles and Mrs. R. Crawford, the first two for earliness, the last for lateness. These three were of familiar types and one of them we have had to condemn for other reasons. ‘The other two we have noticed merely for their seasonable characters, of which no experiment station can judge as well as the large growerscan. Three others i] CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1806. 309 we have reluctantly placed on the list of promising sorts, J/ss Helen Wright, Dancing Maid and White Swan.

Harry Toler, Sibyl Kaye, and Rosy Emperatrice, but they all speedily turned white and were well worth the price as such, the two last, particularly, being an almost even choice 310 BULLETIN 136, with /zfatuation and Lenawee respectively.

Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, the first of the type and the one which started the chrysan- themum craze in America, is still extensively grown, but requires experience and skill to bring to perfection. The well-known L’ Enfant de Deux Mondes is usually weak-necked. CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1806. 311 In the yellows,the only advances in form were Duchess of York and Buff Globe, which latter looks like a buff sport of Good Gracious (Fig. 81). Modesto had nothing new in form or color but was unusually productive and has the look ofa plain, every-day, suc- cessful, yellow chrysanthemum. The pinks were a disappointment this year. Fourteen we have dropped outright. Two varieties (S%jy/ Kaye and Rosy Emperatrice) were first-rate whites but were pink for only afew days. The only successful pink of the year amongst our lot, was Mme. Felix Perrin (or Mrs. Perrin, for they were as like as two peas), but we feel little confidence in the permanence of the color. We disagree as to the attractiveness of the oft-illus- trated Wm. Simpson, as men always must differ in matters of liking, but we are agreed that our single plant had a weak stem and poor foliage. Two others, Mrs. W. C. Egan and Miss L. Magee we have indulgently placed on the promising list because we be- lieve that we had weak stock. ‘The real truth of the matter is that a pure and permanent pink seems not to have been attained. The various shades, from crimson to the faintest crimson-pink, are all treacherous. Even Viviand Morel, which is perhaps the best known of all the pinks, old and new, varies in intensity and quantity of color as much as the rest. We do not see how small growers can afford to buy new pinks unless they are sure of the quality of the stock. The number of varieties is very large, and the vigor of the individual plants, according to our experience, is of vastly greater importance ; indeed it often seems to mean all the difference between success and failure. Kindand quantity of plant-food doubtless have something to do with bring- ing out color, just what we hope to find out this year by experi- ment on a wide range of shades. Perhaps, too, there are minor and undiscovered causes of this variability, and ifthere are any uncontrollable factors it is high time that the truth be known. What makes the problem peculiarly puzzling is that Good Gracious and a few other varieties have always had at Cornell a uniform amount of delicate light pink with no trace of crimson pink origin. Nevertheless we have never seen any chrysanthemum which matches the pure pink of Schuyler Mathews’s color chart. 312 BULLETIN 136. There seem to be at least four important factors that have to do with intensity of color,—quality of stock, time of rooting cut- tings, food supply, and shading. How they are related and which are the most important, it is impossible to say at present. This much is clear, that mere vigor of plants is not all. We never had better plants in any way than Rosy Emperatrice and Sisyl Kaye, but the color simply showed itself, and was gone. 85.—Rosy Emperatrice. Reduced irom a ten-inch flower. Of the various combinations of red and yellow, two are recom- mended, Pluto and Helen Owen. Perhaps their forms are not entirely new, but /luto was apparently ideal in all respects within its natural limitations of form and color, and Helen Owen was surely the second best of all the English varieties received as regards vigor and productiveness. Six other combinations of these colors were condemned for various reasons and five placed CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 216 on the promising list. It seems hard to put Edwin A. Kimball on a probation list, for it was perfect of its kind with us last year, but the competition is too keen, the popularity of its type limited, and there is always the possibility of a second year’s cultivation reversing one’s judgment. So far as we know, it is the best American variety of the type of which Ws. C. H. Wheeler was afamous early representative,—the high-built, almost conical form with heavy, incurved rays, offering frequent suggestions of dark ted, while the old-gold of the reverse is the chief feature in the general effect. (‘‘ Zhe Golden Flower, Chrysanthemum,’’ Mr. Mathews’s beautiful art-work has a colored picture of W/rs. C. ZH. Wheeler. ‘That variety appears to be not double enough to suit the florists.) Four English varieties of the same sort have been gathering strength for a fair race with Edwin A. Kimball this year, and only one can win. Two green-flowered plants had little to commend them. They were too exhausted to do much more than declare themselves no monstrosities like the green rose and the green dahlia, but their flowers were weak and yellowish. We shall await their return with curiosity. Nearly all of the varieties of 1895 recommended in Bulletin 112 were grown again this year, and in general they were not dis- appointing. Mrs. Henry Robinson, the best white of 1895, was not as early in 1896, as expected. Cvimsona was badly spotted on the face of the rays with the color of the reverse. A rush of work at a critical time caused this collection to be neglected dur- ing the disbudding season and we got plants bearing great num- bers of small blooms. The mass-effect was very strong, but nearly all of the pronounced types of the year before suffered a loss of individuality. The labor of disbudding chrysanthemums is great and one must always get ahead of the plants. The variety test of 1896 has been conducted as formerly, NoTE.—One of the novelties of the year was the Edible chrysanthemum. The plant was the earliest ’mum in the entire collection, but it was of poor habit and bore very few leaves and had a medium-sized yellowish flower of small merit from the florists’ standpoint. This variety is said to be cultivated extensively in Japan for the flower heads, which are boiled and eaten ; but we fail to see why this particular variety is more edible than other ’mums. L. H.

In trying to help the raiser of novelties and the purchas- ing florist, we shall this time try an experiment. Instead of writing technical descriptions which are apt to be dreary and CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 315 mystifying to the general reader and of interest only to the trade, we have given accounts of behavior and judgments of merit. The men who created these things have described them in their Own catalogues. Moreover, no description can have theinfluence of a picture, and in this picture-making age there are few novelties that are not illustrated in the catalogues or tradejournals. While all admit that it is unsafe to recommend or condemn any novelty on one year’s acquaintance, some judgment must be made. By placing the word ‘‘good”’ at the head of the following list we do not mean to guarantee the essential and permanent merit of any variety. These varieties are the ones that behaved best with us, and of the hundred or more sorts tested, these twenty are, in our judgment, the ones most likely to achieve anything resembling permanent success. But the problems of variety-study must forever contain uncontrollable factors. ‘The analysis can never be complete, and therefore the prophecy can never be as certain as in some other departments of science. Goop VARIETIES. Twenty-four varieties are named somewhat in the order of merit under their respective colors. The names in parentheses indicate the source of stock plants and usually the introducer. Whites. Lenawee (Smith).—By far the largest and most attractive flower in our collection of 1896. The form is strikingly individual. Early, prolific and one of the longest keepers. The only possible objection to it is that it may be too flat and sprawling for use iu bunches of cut flowers. Fig. 86. Smith, Lady Esther (Owen).—Easily the largest and best of the varieties received from England for trial. Raysfour inches long and often an inch or more wide, very flat, and of good substance. Apparently quite ideal. Infatuation (May ).—Smaller than the last but of good size. Early, and lasts three weeks on the plant. Form distinct and attractive. MWyrs. W. P. Raynor was a few days later with us, but otherwise almost an even choice with /nfatuation. Yanoma (Smith ).—By far the best late white we have ever grown. Except- ionally prolific, and has all the traits of thoroughbred commercial sorts. Buettner, Gretchen (Hill).—A high-built flower of strong enough character to be worthy of a permanent place in the much overcrowded nidseason section. Hibson, Robert F. (P. & M).—Advertised as an early, reflexed Japanese. was midseason with us, prolific, and a good commercial variety. Raynor, Mrs. W. P. (Spaulding).—A few days later than /z/fatuation but otherwise an almost even choice, 316 BULLETIN 136. Autumn Bride (Smith).—Mentioned only because of its being the earliest white with us this season. Flowers do not last long. Crawford, Mrs. R. (Spaulding ).—Noticed because it is a late white. Of its lateness and commercial qualities no experiment station can judge as well as growers. Yanoma was more prolific and the form more attractive. ‘ Pinks. Perrin, Mme. Felix (Smith).—Best crimson pink in the bed. The form is regular, incurved, and somewhat stiff. Color faded slightly. Recom- mended only as being the best pink of the year and not for any permanent advance. Perrin, Mrs. (Hill).—Color and form were not distinguishable from the above. A few days later was the only difference with us. Simpson, Wm. (Blanc). The form of this crimson pink variety is more unusual and less conventional than of the preceding. Our single plant had a large, early, long-keeping flower which faded little, but the foliage was so scattered and the neck so weak as to make it impossible for us to recommend it from our experience for extensive commercial use. Rosy Emperatriee (Yoshiike).—Pink for only a few days, rapidly fading to white. Almost as large and long-keeping as Lenawee and of similar form, Fig. 85. Kaye, Sibyl (Spaulding).—Faded from pink to white as rapidly as the last, and kept fora long period. The form is somewhat similar to that of /x/fatuation. Yellows. York, Duchess of (Hill).—Form reflexed, loose, graceful and flowing. Color a soft and rather light yellow, beside which the next is bold and metal- lic. Itis on three of our four lists of recommended varieties, for it is one of the best yellows we have ever seen. Modesto (Smith)—Form common but popular. Color bold and strong. It has all the marks of a successful commercial variety. Other Colors. Pluto (May ).—Red, reverse yellow. The best of its color and type yet seen at Cornell. While essentially acommercial sort, it is just the thing for amateurs because of its interesting stages of development. Buff Globe (Yoshiike).—Noted as having the peculiar form and drooping habit of Good Gracious which is very attractive to many people. The color is pretty and restful but cannot compete for attention in a large crowd with the more vivid ones. | Owen, Helen (Owen).—A deep, quickly incurving Japanese flower, with a low center like that of Good Gracious, the youngest rays tightly whorled and showing the sulfur reverse. Face of rays chiefly brownish flesh and yellow. There is plenty of room for this and P/uio. Violescent (Smith).—A large, deep, compact flower, the pinkish tinge being delicate and rather short-lived with us. An ideal commercial and exhibition sort, if one could be sure of the color. Even asa white variety, however, it would be a distinct success. CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1896. 317 Oriental Glory (Yoshiike),—High built, compact, cylindrical, whorled, white, the whorled inner rays suffused with delicate crimson pink which fades as flower becomes older. The cylindrical form relaxes about the same time to the spherical. We had only one plant and one flower and cannot judge of its commercial qualities. Fig. 80. Western Pride (Yoshiike).—Cardinezl, reverse greenish yellow. Recom- mend to amateurs who like fantastic and Japanesque creations, The younger stages are the most eccentric and interesting. Hairy. Midnight (Spaulding).—Noted because itis an odd colorin thisclass. The shade of crimson is rather dull and not as attractive as the familiar Louis Boeh- mer. Mrs. H. N. Higinbotham has been grown hereto a much greater size, Freeman, Mrs. C. B. (Spaulding).—This is the only yellow variety we have seen of thisclass. ‘The color fades as much asthe very popular Philadelphia. From the preceding twenty-four varieties we have made selec- tions for special purposes : General collection of ten for commercial purposes: Lenawee, Lady Esther Smith, Infatuation, Mme. Perrin, Pluto, Modesto, Duchess of York, Yanoma, Violescent, Gretchen Buettner. Six varieties for exhibition: Lenawee, Lady Esther Smith, Mme. Perrin, Pluto, Modesto. 'Tocomplete the set Mr. Hunn and Mr. Hasselbring (a practical florist) would choose Violescent ; Mr. Miller would choose Oriental Glory. Six varieties for pot plants: Lenawee, Mme. Perrin, Pluto, Modesto, Duchess of York, Yanoma. Amateur’s list of six: Ovtental Glory, Duchess of York, Mrs. C. B. Freeman, Buff Globe, Gretchen Buettner. ‘To complete the set Mr. Hunn and Mr. Hasselbring would choose Helen Owen ; M1. Miller would choose Western Pride. PROMISING VARIETIES.

The law under which the extension teaching of agriculture is now being prosecuted in New York State by the College of Agri- culture of Cornell University, at first was an Experiment Station measure. The bill originated entirely with the people, when, in 1893, certain Chautauqua County persons asked the Station to undertake experiment work in their vineyards. We replied that while we should like to take up the investigations, our funds were insufficient to meet the expense without endangering work in which we were already engaged ; and this lack of funds would be keenly felt if other sections of the state should also, following the Chautauqua example, ask for help. Wesuggested to them, there- fore, that if their local horticultural society could raise sufficient funds to meet the expense of fertilizers, traveling and incidentals, we would try to detail a man to look after the work. The matter dropped there; but the next winter we heard of a movement among the Chautauqua people to obtain a small state appropriae tion to pay for experiment work in their vineyards. The pro- ject was placed in the hands of S. F. Nixon, Assemblyman from Chautauqua County, who, early in 1894, obtained a grant of $16,000, one-half of which was to be expended by the Cornell Experiment Station in work in horticulture in the Fifth Judicial Department of the State, an area comprising sixteen counties of western New York. ‘This is the only instance, so far as we know, of a movement for experiment station work which has been ini- tiated and pushed to a final passage wholly by a farming com- munity. The laws upon which our land-grant colleges and the agricultural experiment stations are founded were conceived and completed almost wholly by a comparatively small body of educa- tors and experimenters, aided by persons in the various pro- fessions. The clause in the law of 1894 which appropriated money to 326 BULLETIN 137. the Cornell University Experiment Station, isas follows: ‘‘ The sum of eight thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necess- ary, is hereby appropriated, to be paid to the agricultural experi- ment station at Cornell University, for the purpose of horticultural experiments, investigations, instruction and information in the fifth judicial department, pursuant to section eighty-seven of the agricultural law.’’ The law also provides that ‘such experi- ment station may, with the consent and approval of the commis- sioner of agriculture, appoint horticultural experts to assist such experiment station, in the fifth judicial department, in conduct- ing investigations and experiments in horticulture; in discover- ing and remedying the disease of plants, vines and fruit-trees ; in ascertaining the best means of fertilizing vineyards, fruit and garden plantations, and of making orchards, vineyards and gar- dens prolific ; in disseminating horticultural knowledge by means of lectures or otherwise, and in preparing and printing, for free distribution, the results of such investigations and experiments, and such other information as may be deemed desirable and pro- fitable in promoting the horticultural interests of the state. * * * * All of such work by such experiment station and by such experts shall be under the general supervision and direction of the commissioner of agriculture.’’ This bill became alaw, by the Governor’s signature, May 12, 1894. In the legislature of 1895, Mr. Nixon introduced a bill to continue the work, but increasing the amount given to Cornell University Experiment Station to $16,000, ‘This second bill became a law on the 4th of April, 1895. Upon taking up the work provided for by the bill, in the early summer of 1894, the Cornell University Experiment Station placed the enterprise in the hands of a chief ‘‘hor- ticultural expert,’’ in the language of the law, and Professor L. H. Bailey was chosen to that office, with the expectation that most or all of the work should be completed during the summer interrim. In entering upon his duties, this officer laid out three general lines of work, as specified in the law,—‘‘ conducting investigations and experiments,’’ ‘‘ disseminating horticultural knowledge by means of lectures or otherwise,’’ and ‘‘ preparing and printing ” the results of the work. In other words, the work was to be divided between research, teaching, and publication, AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION LAw. 327 The enterprise was new and untried ; the territory to pe covered was large, the interests varied, and the demands numerous; and the promoters of the bill had large expectations of the results. The responsibility of inaugurating the enterprise was keenly felt, or a mistake in the beginning might be expected to exert a serious and baneful influence upon future legislation designed to improve the conditions of rural life. The officer in charge was extremely fortunate, however, in having the hearty support of his collea- gues, the free codperation of the commissioner of agriculture, and, above all, the kindly and intelligent interest of scores of horticul- turists in his territory. It was conceived that, in the beginning, a comparatively small and well digested enterprise prosecuted by a few carefully chosen men would be productive of better results than any bold attempt, with a large force, to carry the work into every part of the fifth judicial department. Inasmuch as the original grant was obtained through the exertions of the grape- growers of Chautauqua County, it was designed to undertake careful studies of the vineyard interests at the outset. The imme- diate charge of this work was placed in the hands of the late E. G, Lodeman, assistant in horticulture, who, to fit himself more specifi- cally for certain problems which were presenting themselves, went to Europe (at his own expense) and visited the vineyards of the Rhine, of Italy and Southern France. The entomological inquiries were placed in the hands of M. V. Slingerland, assistant entomolo- gist of the Experiment Station. Certain lines of investigation made at Ithaca were placed in immediate charge of Michael Barker, who was secured from the Botanic Gardens of Harvard University. We also associated with us for a time in certain field work, Harold G. Powell, a senior in agriculture in Cor- dell University, and one who had had much experience in pomo- logical matters. In 1895 the work was placed under the supervision of Professor I. P. Roberts,the director of the station (who was absent the previous year) and Professor Bailey, but immediate charge of it was given, as the year before, to the latter officer. Some additional help was secured because of the larger work which was demanded by the larger appropriation ; but in general the enterprise went forward upon the same lines as in 1894. 328 BULLETIN 137. A third appropriation was made by the legislature of 1896 of $16,000; but since the new state constitution had abolished the Fifth Judicial Department, the fund was applied to the Fourth Judicial Department comprising twenty-two counties bounded eastward by Jefferson, Lewis, Herkimer, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Tompkins, Seneca, Yates and Steuben. The legislature of 1897 made a fourth appropriation, but now it applies to the entire state and to agriculture in general. Moreover, it is given to the College of Agriculture (not to the Experiment Station) for ‘‘ the promotion of agricultural knowl- edge in the State.’’ For this purpose $25,000 was appropriated. The attachment of this fund to the general College of Agricul- ture signalizes the outgrowth of the work from mere experiment (as chiefly contemplated at first) into the general promulgation of agricultural knowledge. With this new bill, the prosecution of the work passed from the hands of Professor Bailey into those of Professor Roberts, the Director of the College of Agriculture. From the first, the work has been thrown into three general lines,—direct research in the orchards, vineyards and gardens of western New York; teaching by means of itiner- ant schools and lectures; and the publication of horticultural knowledge in bulletin form. A somewhat full account of the enterprise up to nearly the time when it passed wholly from Professor Bailey’s hands may be found in Bulletins 110 and 122. From the funds of the first three years—when the work was re- stricted to horticulture—49 bulletins have been published, and investigations for several others have been completed. These bulletins have been of five general types: 1. ‘Those which at- tempt to improve the cultivation of the staple crops; 2. Those which endeavor to expound well known principles and facts; 3. Those which aim to awaken an interest in flowers and nature and the amenities of rural life; 4. Those which suggest new avenues of profit; 5. Those which attempt to monograph certain difficulties (as given insects and fungi) with which the horticul- turist has to contend. In all of them, it has been the desire to make the matter attractive and readable, so that the entire bulle- tin would be prized and kept by the recipient. The animus ofthe entire enterprise has been an attempt to AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION Law. 329 inquire into the agricultural status, to discover the causes of the rural depression, and to suggest means for improving the farmer’s position. This attempt has been specifically directed to a single great branch of rural industry, horticulture, in pursuance of the provisions of the law; but what is true of the horticultural com- munities is essentially true of other agricultural regions, and, morever, these two types of agricultural industry cannot be sepa- rated by arbitrary lines. The work, therefore, has practically resulted in a broad study of rural economics. We conceive that it is impossible to really extend the Experiment Station and University impulse to the people in such manner that it shall come to them as a living and quickening force, without first studying the fundamental difficulties of the farmers’ social and political environment. In this extension work, therefore, we have sought not so much for new facts as for some way of driving home the old facts. We have tried to set forces at work which would silently extend them- selves when we had left them. Fortunately, we have been greatly aided by the hard times and the multitudes of bugs and special difficulties. ‘These things have driven people to thinking and to asking for information. The agricultural communities are thoroughly aroused, and now is the time to teach. When one is thoroughly prosperous in his business, there is little chance—as, in fact, there is generally little need—of teaching him other methods. The efforts to reach the people, in the progress of our work, may be classified under five general heads. These efforts have all been experiments in methods of extension teaching as applied to horticulture. We have tried to ascertain the value of: (1.) The itinerant or local experiment as a means of teaching. (2.) The readable expository bulletin. (3.) The itinerant horticultural school. (4.) Elementary instruction in the rural schools. (5.) Instruction by means of correspondence and reading courses. In the local experimental work, something over one hundred different experiments have been planned and prosecuted in differ- 330 BULLETIN 137. ent parts of western New York. ‘These comprise experiments in tilling the land, in pruning trees, in fertilizing the soil, spraying, combating insects and fungi, and the like. The fundamental purpose in these experiments is to teach by means of object lessons and not to collect scientific facts, although the latter often come as a very valuable incidental result. The bulletins which have been issued under the auspices of the work are public and therefore need no explanation at the present ‘time. The horticultural schools have been about forty in number. ‘These are meetings which last two or more days, at which time cer- tain instructors take up definite lines of instruction, giving by far the greater part of their attention to underlying principles and not to mere facts or methods. A somewhat full report of these horti- cultural schools, with the topics and instructors assigned to each, is published in Bulletin 122. The fundamental difficulty with our agricultural condition is that there is no attempt to instruct the children in matters which will awaken an interest in country life. We have therefore con- ceived that the place in which to begin to correct the agricultural status is with the ehildren and the rural schools. For the pur- pose of determining just how much could be expected from this source, many rural and village schools were visited during the past year, the instructors talking to the children about any object which presented itself at the time. The result was that all the instructors were impressed with the readiness with which the children imbibed the information, their keen desire for it and appreciation of it, and the almost universal interest which teachers took in this kind of work. Weare now convinced that the greatest good which can be rendered to the agricultural communities is to awaken an interest in nature-study on the part of teachers and children. In order to facilitate teaching in this direction, we have issued five leaflets to show teach- ers how nature-study may be presented to the pupils, and these have been received with the greatest enthusiasm by edu- cators and others amongst our constituency. ‘The hint for this work in the public schools was derived from the work which was done by George T. Powell, in Westchester County, AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION LAw. 345 under the auspices of the New York Committee for the Promo- tion of Agriculture. This resulted in a virtual union of the forces in the two parts of the State, and when the people asked the Legislature again during the last winter for an appropriation, the Committee for the Promotion of Agriculture lent its influence in behalf of the bill. The outgrowth of this work with the schools is that we now consider that the best way in which to reach the pupils and the teachers is by short and sharp observations upon plants, insects and other natural objects, and not by means of definite lectures of stated lengths. This work has already been presented to the teachers at some of their institutes, where it has also met with favor and it has received the commendation of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and other persons in authority. /¢ will, of course, be futile to attempt to instruct the children of the State in nature-study by means of instructors from Cornell University. We therefore conceive that the real work to be done its to instruct the teachers in the methods of imparting this instruction. It was with this thought that we began a series of teachers’ leaflets and Wwe purpose to present the work at the teachers’ institutes and eventually, perhaps, in the Normal Schools and training classes of the State. So far as the present outlook is concerned, it is per- haps not too much to say that we believe that this movement, directed towards the young people of the rural communities, is the most important one which has developed in agriculture since the consumation of the experiment station idea. Instruction by means of correspondence has been an outgrowth of the last year and has not yet been carried to sufficient maturity to enable us to judge of its full merit and promise. However, there were about 1,600 readers upon our lists at the close of the first three months, and there is no doubt but that a vigorous agitation of the question during another winter will at least quadruple our present list. It is the plan in this reading course to set the farmers to reading upon certain definite subjects which are assigned to them, and then to make them think upon those subjects by periodical questioning. At the present time the texts which have been used are our Bull- etin 119 upon the Texture of the Soil, and Bulletin 120 upon the 332 BULLETIN 137. Moisture of the Soil. These are two fundamental subjects upon which every farmer needs more light. After having read one of these bulletins, a printed circular is sent to each reader asking certain definite questions, which it is desired that he shall figure out, think about and answer for himself. In this way the readers are kept in constant touch with the College of Agricul- ture, and they are made to think, whether they desire to do so or not. Aside from the many horticultural investigations which are still continuing from Professor Bailey’s work, there are now more than 200 experiments with fertilizers on various kinds of crops in progress throughout the State among the farming community. Five hundred experiments in beet culture, with and without fertilizers, are also being conducted to learn, if possible, the localities in the state best adapted to sugar beet cul- ture and to induce the farmers to investigate this new industry. Instruction is given as to soil, methods of tillage and fertilization. At the same time, numerous experiments are being conducted at the university along lines similar to those mentioned. The Col- lege of Agriculture has enrolled under the head of University Extension work fifteen thousand pupils and ten thousand teachers of the public schools, and one thousand six hundred young farmers. The pupils and farmers receive guidance by means of printed cir- culars and the farmers report progress and difficulties upon special blanks which are furnished. Six instructors are employed throughout the state in conducting University Extension work, and special teachers are employed from time to time as occasion requires. These instructors meet the teachers of the public schools in the presence of their pupils and at teachers’ associa- tions and institutes for the purpose of illustrating methods for teaching Nature Studies directly or indirectly related to Agricul- ture. ‘The leaflets furnished serve as text for the subjects taught. The result of this pushing of the education motive into the rural communities has been a most decided waking up of the rural communities which, even if the work were to stop at the present time, would continue to exert an influence for a genera- tion and more. All this work has been experimental,—an attempt to discover AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION LAw. 292 the best method of teaching the people in agriculture. We be- lieve that the most efficient means of elevating the ideals and practice of the rural communities are as follows, in approximately the order of fundamental importance: (1) The establishment of nature-study or object-lesson study, combined with field-walks and in incidental instruction in the principles of farm-practice, in the rural schools; (2) the establishment of correspcndence- instruction in connection with reading-courses, binding together the University, the rural schools, and all rural literary or social societies ; (3) itinerant or local experiment and investigation, made chiefly as object-lessons to farmers and not for the purpose, primarily, of discovering scientific facts ; (4) the publication of reading bulletins which shall inspire a quickened appreciation of rural life, and which may be used as texts in rural societies and in the reading courses, and which shall prepare the way for the reading of the more extended literature in books; (5) the send- ing out of special agents as lecturers or teachers, or as investi- gators of special local difficulties, or as itinerant instructors in the normal schools and before the training classes of the teachers’ institutes ; (6) the itinerant agricultural school, somewhat after the plan of our horticultural schools, which shall be equipped with the very best teachers and which shall be given as rewards to the most intelligent and energetic communities. In conclusion, it must be said that the farmers, as a whole, are willing and anxious for education. ‘They are difficult to reach because they have not been well taught, not because they are unwilling to learn. It is astonishing, as one thinks of it, how scant and poor has been the teaching which has even a remote relation to the tilling of the soil; and many of our rural books seem not to have been born of any real sympathy with the farmer or any proper appreciation of his environments. Just as soon as our educational methods are adapted to the farmer’s needs, and are born of a love of farm life and are inspired with patriotism, will the rural districts begin to rise in irresistible power. “5 » & Z a 7 ¥ + . a Ss e - + s + ’ + . } * & . * CIRCULAR CONCERNING Co-Operative Tillage Experiments. No. 5. Cornell University, College of Agriculture. Ithaca, N. Y., April 15, 1897. It is desired by the Cornell University College of Agriculture to co-operate with farmers throughout the State in tillage experi- ments with potatoes and sugar beets. Such marked results have been obtained by the Experiment Station at Cornell University in the tillage of potatoes that it is considered worth while to see if equally marked results cannot be secured by the farmers gen- erally throughout the State. The awakening interest in the home manufacture of sugar and the organization in this State of one or more companies for its manufacture from beets, demand that attention be given to the subject of the culture of sugar beets, and the fertilizers, soil and varieties best suited to their produc- tion in different sections of the State. To assist in carrying out this work we invite the co-operation of all farmers interested, and for those who desire to enter upon this work the following details are given: Potato Tillage Experiments. Select, if possible, a loamy soil avoiding light sands or heavy clay. If a clover sod can be plowed under it will serve the pur- pose well, but heavy, tenacious sods should be avoided. Select a place on which the soil is uniform in quality and all portions of which have been treated alike as regards cropping and ma- 336 CIRCULAR NO. 5. nuring. Plow immediately, or as early as the condition will per- mit, and measure off the plats which are to be devoted to the experiment. It is desired that this be an experiment to determine the effect of tillage upon potatoes, and the following suggestions as to size and number of plats are given to aid the farmer in carrying out the purpose of this work. (See diagram.) Measure off a piece of land 207% feet long and 147 feet wide. (A space of at least three feet should be allowed outside of the outer rows, indicated by the outside solid black lines, so that cultivation may be given to both sides of the potato rows. This will give the total width over all of an additional 6 feet or 153 feet.) Divide this up into six plats, each 24% feet wide and 207% feet long. This will provide for six rows of potatoes 3% feet apart to each plat, and will leave a space of 31% feet between the outside ex- periment rows and the edge of the plats. A space of seven feet will be left between the adjacent rows of the plats, and in this space there should be a row of potatoes planted which is to be dug before the other six rows on the plat are harvested. This extra row is indicated by the solid black lines in the diagram, and the rows of potatoes which are to enter into the experiment are in- dicated by the dotted lines. Planted in this way there will be one-tenth of an acre of potatoes to each plat. If it is desired to have the plats only half the size of the ones shown in the diagram, then instead of making them 207% feet long, make them only - half that length or 103 feet 9 inches long and the width the same, 24% feet, and plant the rows the same distance apart as indicated above, 3% feet. This will give plats of one-twentieth of an acre each. If the circumstances are such that it seems desirable to have the rows of greater length and not have the plats definitely marked off, as in the diagram, it may be done by so measuring the rows that a total of 1,245 feet in each plat shall be subject to the special tillage desired. This will give a potato area of one- tenth of an acre. If the smaller area of one-twentieth of an acre is preferred then have a total length of rows in each plat of 622% feet. Where the plan of the diagram can be followed it is recom- mended so that there may be as great a uniformity of methods and results as possible. Eight additional feet should be allowed CIRCULAR No. 5. 337 DIAGRAI1 FOR POTATO PLATS. 8 ft. for : a oS a pa a nin aN eae ati tol > ANNs Nah AES SRC Ba A OSS PEt : ~ 3 g 2X w 9) ioe) 4 6 5 4 3 2 j a So Sp fs sj | ml = = = ra u & & © i o ~ te ro) So) Ly HUTT 8 feet for turning room. 316 feet between rows.

At time of digging, eight feet at each end and the extra rows planted between plats (indicated in diagram by the solid black lines) should be dug and removed before the experiment plats are harvested. After plowing the land this spring harrow thoroughly, break- ing all clods and pulverizing the soil. Open the rows with a shovel, plow or with a double moldboard plow. Cut the potatoes so that there shall be one or two strong eyes to the piece, each piece being of good size, and drop one piece to a place and 14 inches apart inthe row. Cover witha hoe to the depth of about four inches. The seed should be uniform and of the same va- riety. If any traces of scab are present, the potatoes should be soaked before cutting for one hour in solution of two ounces of corrosive sublimate to thirteen gallons of water. This corrosive sublimate is poison and should be handled with extreme care. Prof. J. C. Arthur, of Purdue University Experiment Station, Indiana, recommends for potato scab eight fluid ounces of Com- mercial Formalin (which can be purchased at the drug store) to fifteen gallons of water. Immerse the potatoes for two hours. This is perfectly safe and said to be thoroughly efficient. Before the potatoes are up, about one week after planting, thoroughly harrow all plats with a spike tooth harrow. If a heavy rain should come after this harrowing and before potatoes are up, use the harrow again on all plats, breaking up the surface soil crust. When potatoes are up so that the rows can be followed, cultivate all plats with a fine tooth implement. A spring-tooth cultivator does the work well. After this first tillage plat 1 is to have but two more cultures, plat 2 five -more and plat 3 eight more. Repeat with plats 4,5 and6. All this is to be level cul- ture and nohilling up. Plats will then receive tillage as follows: Plat 1—3 cultivations. Plat 4—3 cultivations. ae D6) ae “ 5—6 “ce “cc 3—9 “ce “e 6—9 ce CIRCULAR NO. 5. 339 The foliage on all plats must be kept intact by spraying if necessary. To prevent the attacks of the leaf flea-beetle and the blight use Bordeaux mixture, and for the common potato beetle, Paris-green. (See Cornell Bulletin 130.) If it is desired to conduct fertilizer experiments in connection with this tillage experiment, the additional plats required may be laid off the same size and the fertilizer applied according to directions given by Dr. Caldwell. (See Cornell Bulletin 129.) It is hoped that, in addititon to the potato tillage experiment outlined above, every farmer will arrange for one or more ad- ditional plats on which to carry out his own idea of potato raising. Have one plat which shall have the potatoes hilled up in the ordinary way of hilling potatoes.

Enough sugar beet seed will be sent by the Cornell Univer- sity Experiment Station to plant one-twentieth of an acre. All who wish to co-operate in the experiment are requested to write for seed, which will be distributed as long as the supply lasts. It is desired that the plats be laid off as follows (See Sugar Beet diagram). Measure off an area 52 feet long and 50 feet wide. In plowing add 2% feet to each side, making the total area to be plowed 57 by 55 feet. This additional area to be plowed is for the purpose of giving room for tillage on the out- side of the outer row. Stake off four plats each 12% feet wide and 52 feet long. This will provide for four rows of beets to the plat (indicated by the dotted lines) and an extra row between and outside of plats (indicated by solid black lines). These ex- tra rows are not to enter into the experiment and are to be harvested and removed before the regular four rows of the ex- periment (indicated by dotted lines) are harvested. The following directions regarding sugar beet culture may be found helpful. An open-porous soil, not over sandy, should be selected avoiding heavy clay subsoils or hardpan. While the soil should be fertile yet fresh barn manure should not be applied. Where it is desired to fertilize with barn manure it should be 344 CIRCULAR NO. 5. \ NE NS ST LET ETT AS SS FEET RT TM RY TO RS NT A SE EN TE SE AR TS ' SUGAR BEET DIAGRAM. 1216 feet. 52 feet.

Muck or bottom land soils while they might produce a large amount of beets, yet the percentage of sugar would probably be low. Select well drained upland, loamy soil or one with a fairly porous subsoil. This will enable the beet to expand evenly and produce a smooth, regularly developed root. Plow deep and early, har- row once and then allow the land to remain without being dis- turbed for a few days. This is to permit whatever weed seed | may be in the soil to sprout before planting the beets. Then harrow again thoroughly and if heavy rains have packed the soil, make it loose again with a cultivator or by shallow gang plowing. After fining and pulverizing with the harrow use the roller and follow the roller with a light, fine tooth harrow. This fitting should be done just previous to planting the seeds. Mark off the rows by stretching a line across the plats, rows to be 2% feet apart. (See diagram for beets.) The two packages of beet seed sent are sufficient to plant four plats of the dimen- sions given in the diagram. Planting in this latitude may usually be done from the first to the middle of May. Cover the seed to a depth of about one inch and firm the earth over the rows by means of a rake, leaving it firm but not packed smoothly. If weeds and grass start before the beets are up then hand work must be resorted to, for it is absolutely essential that the weeds be kept in check and the easiest way to do this is to check them at the start. Should heavy rains cause a surface soil crust to be formed, this crust must be broken up either by using a rake or some light implement similar to a Breed’s weeder. As soon as the rows can be followed horse tillage should commence, the implement used being one with many fine teeth (similar to one shown in frontispiece of Cornell Bulletin 130). This experiment is one of tillage alone. (The fertilizer ex- periments are described by Dr. Caldwell in Bulletin 129.) As soon as the rows can be followed give all plats tillage with the fine tooth implement. After the first time the tillage of the plats is to vary in frequency. Plats A and C (see diagram) are to receive tillage about every seven days and plats B and D only about every fourteen days, so that every other time all plants 3406 CIRCULAR NO. 5. will receive tillage. If weeds or grass PERSE in the row they must be removed by hand. Thinning should be done as soon as four leaves are formed. This work must not be delayed until the plants become of considerable size or the roots will so interlace that injury will be done to the ones we wish to leave. In thinning large areas the work is done by chopping out with a hoe, leaving a bunch every nine inches, and then thinning out the bunch by hand. On these small plats the thinning would better all be done by hand. Leave a strong, vigorous plant every nine or ten inches. Press the earth firmly around the plants left but do not hill up. The pressure should not be great enough to injure the cells of the plant. Harvesting should be done before heavy frost. It also should be done before the tops begin making a second growth. The samples selected to be sent to Cornell University for analysis should be of medium size, not the largest nor smallest but a good average of the lot. The rows indicated in the diagram by the solid black lines should be harvested before the main plats and the beets removed. Then harvest and weigh each plat of four rows. Take as a sample, five average sized beets, put them in a sack and put in the sack with them the record as to culture and yield of the plat. Tie the sack securely and put ina box. In this way take and prepare samples of all the plats, putting in the sack with the sample the record of the plat on which the sample was grown. The following blank form may be used in keeping and reporting the record of the plats: This is to be returned at the end of the season to CHIEF CLERK, COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, Ithaca, N. Y.

Since so many applications have been made for fertilizers to be used in the “ Field Experiments,’ we have limited the size of plats to be experimented upon to 5), of an acre each. We have sent you by freight one large sack containing ten small sacks, each tagged so that you can tell what kind and how much fertilizer each small sack contains. Pay zo attention whatever to any printing that may be upon the sacks, but give strict attention to the tags that are tied to the bags. The contents of the small sacks are to be applied to the plats as follows: On Plat K put contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Muriate of Potash. On Plat N put contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Nitrate of Soda. On Plat KN put contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Muriate of Potash, also contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Nitrate of Soda. On Plat P put contents of one sack containing 20 pounds Superphosphate. On Plat KP put contents of sack containing a mixture of Io pounds Muriate of Potash and 20 pounds Superphosphate. On Plat NKP put contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Nitrate of Soda, also contents of sack containing a mixture of 10 pounds Muriate of Potash and 20 pounds Superphosphate. On Plat NP put contents of one sack containing 10 pounds Nitrate of Soda, also contents of one sack containing 20 pounds Superphosphate. 350 CIRCULAR NO. 6. Apply the Muriate of Potash and the Superphosphate before the crops are planted and the Nitrate of Soda later. Do not apply the Nitrate of Soda on the plats requiring it until the craps have been planted and have been up about fifteen days; then apply half of the Nitrate as a surface dressing and three weeks later apply the rest and cultivate in. For corn, or potatoes and such crops that are to be in hills or rows, throw a furrow each way so as to leave a shallow trench, Put the fertilizers (only the Phosphate or Muriate of Potash, or the mixture of the two) in the bottom of this trench ; then cover very lightly. A light, fine toothed cultivator may be used for this. This is to prevent the seed from coming in contact with the concentrated fertilizer, which might be injurious to it. Plant the potatoes, or corn, or whatever the crop is, on top of this covered fertilizer and from this point proceed in the ordinary way. If fertilizers are applied to grapes, berries, etc., in rows, apply along each side of the rows on the surface, and then cul- tivate in and mix with the surface soil. For any crop that is sown broadcast, apply the fertilizer broadcast and cultivate in. If fine, well rotted stable manure is used on one plat, spread broadcast after land is plowed and cultivate in. If the ma- nure is coarse, spread broadcast and plow it under. If not plowed under it will be more or less in the way all summer. Sampling the Soil. SURFACE OF THE FIRED.

With a spade with a square end dig a hole, the width of the spade and nine inches deep, leaving one side of the hole vertical and the other side sloping just as in the cut. Clean out all the loose soil at the bottom of the hole; cut off from the vertical side a slice about two inches thick from top: 9 INCHES. CIRCULAR No 6. 351 to bottom, the full width of the spade and save this slice to represent one of the partial samples. Pick out all stones larger than 4% to % inch in diameter. These 10 to 15 small samples are to be mixed together in a large box or on some clean boards. These several partial samples when mixed will make from 1 to 1% bushels of soil. Mix thoroughly by stirring and shoveling over and over a number of times; then of this thoroughly mixed soil take a sample of three pecks and put it into the large sack that held the small sacks of fertilizer. Tie it up tightly and keep until further no- tice. To be of any use for analysis or experiments at the Experiment Station, this sample mst represent as accurately as possible the whole area to be divided up into the nine plats, before the fertilizers have been applied. Make a record as complete as possible of the field according to the following plan: I—Location of Freld. a—Upland. b—Lowland.

The same kind and same amount of seed is to be sown on each of the series of eight or nine plats in the set. Drive stakes in such a way, and so number the plats that there will be no danger of getting the several plats mixed and so cause confusion. It must be remembered that this experiment is to be tried upon the crop planted and not upon an accidental crop of weeds. In no case will the experiment be of value if the weeds are allowed to grow upon the plats. Thorough cultivation is one of the most important features of the field test. It will be impossible to send an agent to inspect each series of experiments, but if you become very much confused and do not understand the instructions given, let us know and we will try to help you out either by correspondence or by sending an agent to your place.

If one were to plant seeds of a Hubbard or Boston Marrow squash in loose, warm earth in a pan or box, and were then to leave the parcel for a week or ten days, he would find, upon his-return, a colony of plants like'that shown in Fig. 1. If he had not planted the seeds himself or had not seen such plants before, he would not believe that these cu- rious plants would ever grow into squash vines, so different are they from the vines which we know in the garden. This, itself, is a most curious fact,— this wonderful difference between the first and the h hi ; ee ee later stages of all plants, and it is only because we ee: know it so well that we do not wonder at it. NoTeE,—These leaflets are intended for the teacher, uot for the scholars. It is their purpose to suggest the method which a teacher may pursue in instructing children at odd times in nature-study. The teacher should show the children the objects themselves,—-should plant the seeds, raise the plants, collect the insects, etc, ; or, better, he should interest the children to collect the objects. Advanced pupils, however, may be given the leaflets and asked to perform the experiments or make the observations which are suggested. The scholars themselves should be taught to do the work and to arrive at independent conclusions. Teachers who desire to inform themselves more fully upon the motives of this nature-study teaching, should write for a copy of Bulletin 122, of the Cornell Experiment Station, Ithaca, N. Y. 4 It may happen, however,—as it did in a pan of seed which I sowed a few days ago—that one or two of the plants may look like that shown in Fig. 2. Here the seed seems to have come up on top of the plant, and one is reminded of the curious way in which beans come up on the stalk of the young plant. If we were to study the matter, however,—as we may do at a future time— we should find a great difference in the ways in which the squashes and the beans raise their ~~ = seeds out of the ground. Itis not our ~ al. 3. Germination just purpose to compare the squash and ~ beginning. the bean at this time, but we are curious to know why one of these squash plants brings its seed up out of the ground whilst all the others do not. In order to find out why it is, we must ask the plant, and this 2. Squash plant asking is what we call an experiment. which has Lee I TER CES first pullup thetwo plants. The first one of the ground. (Fig, 1) will be seen to have the seed-coats still at- tached to the very lowest part of the stalk below the soil, but the other plant has no seed at that point.

Theroot Gay for several days, A day or two after the and~eg- seeds are planted, we shall find a little point or root-like portion breaking out of the sharp end of the seed, as shown in Fig. 3. A day later this root portion has grown to be as long as the seed itself (Fig. 4), and it has turned directly downwards intothe soil. But there is another most curious thing about this germinating seed. Just where the root is 2 eee breaking out of the seed (shown at a in Fig. 4), a there is a little peg or projection. In Fig. 5, about a day later, the root has grown still longer, and this / peg seems to be forcing the seed apart. In Fig. 6, however, it will be seen that the seed is really being forced apart by the stem or the stalk above the peg, for this stem is now growing longer. The lower lobe of the seed has attached ~ 5 (Sse 142 the peg (seen at a, Fig. 6), and the seed- | ==> _ leaves are trying to back out of the seed. i{ Fig. 7 shows the seed stilla day later. The 6.

We must notice, too, that these leaves are much smaller when they are first drawn out of the seed than they are when the plantlet has = es straightened itself up. That is, these leaves rei Seeing a. crease very much in size after they reach the light 6 and air.

The root grows in the end 14. The marking of the stem, and the spreading apart of portions. the marks. backs out of the seeds and pulls the little seed leaves with it, and how the root grows downwards into the soil. Now let us pull up another seed when it has sent a single root about two fs inches deep into the earth. We will wash it very carefully and lay it upon a piece of paper. Then we will lay a ruler along- side of it, and make an ink mark one-quarter of an inch from the tip, and two or three other marks at equal distances above (Fig. 12).* We will now carefully replant the seed. Two days later we will dig it up, when we shall most likely find a condi- tion something like that in Fig. 13. It will be seen that the marks E, C, B, are practically the same distance apart as before and they are also the same distance from the peg AA. The point of the root is no longer at DD, however, but has grown on to F. The root, therefore, has grown almost wholly in the end portion. Now let us make a similar experiment with the stem or stalk. We will mark a young stem, as at A in Fig. 14; but the next day we shall find that these marks are farther apart than when we made them (B, Fig. 14). The marks have all raised them- selves above the ground as the plant has grown. The stem, therefore, has grown between the joints rather than from the tip. The stem usually grows most rapidly, at any given time, at the upper or younger portion of the joint (or internode) ; and the joint soon reaches the limit of its growth and becomes stationary, and a new one grows out above it. Natural science conststs in two things,—seeing what you look at, and drawing proper conclusions from what you see. * NOTE.—Common ink will not answer for this purpose because it ‘‘runs”’ when the root is wet, but indelible ink, used for marking linen or for drawing, should be used. It should also be said that the root of the common pumpkin, and of the summer bush squashes, is too fibrous and branchy for this test. It should be stated, also, that the root does not grow at its very tip, but chiefly in a narrow zone just back of the tip; but the determination of this point is rather too difficult for the beginner, and, moreover, it is foreign to the purpose of this tract. TO THE TEACHER: This ts the first of a proposed series of leaflets designed to suggest methods of presenting nature-study upon common-place subjects. This ts a new field of effort for the College of Agriculture, and we therefore look upon the methods as largely experimental. We are endeavoring to determine the best way of interesting children in country life. You can give us many suggestions, and we should like a free expression of your opinions and expertences. It should be borne in mind that the object of these lessons ts not to impart direct and specific information, but to train the child in the powers of seeing and inquiring. The teacher should keep the attention of the pupil closely fixed upon the germinating seed (when the subject of this leaflet is under review), asking him to describe everything which he sees. Regutre that the pupil sees all that ts specified in this leaflet, and endeavor to lead him on to see things which are not here de- scribed. Once the inguiry ts started, you will no doubt be able to conduct other similar experiments from time to time. Lf questions come up which you cannot answer, write them tous and we may be able to help you. We suggest that you ask your pupils to write short compositions upon these lessons and to make sketches of the observations, and that you send us some of these from time to time, in order that we may learn how the experiment ts working. We do not care for the best essays alone, but simply the average. The suggestions which we obtain from teachers will aid us greatly in the preparation of future leaftets. j THIRD EDITION.

How a Candle Burns. BY GEORGE W. CAVANAUGH. I. OXYGEN. Light the candle and place it upon a piece of blotting paper. Ques. What do you see burning ? Ans. The candle; or the wick and wax (or tallow). Ques. Is anything burning besides the candle ? The answer will probably be “No.” Well, let us see. Place the lamp chim- ney over the lighted candle, and partly cover the top by a piece of stiff paper, as in Fig. 15. Ask the pupils to observe and describe how the flame goes out; i.e., that it is gradually ex- tinguished and does not go out instantly. Ques. Why did the flame go out P The probable answer will be, ‘Because there was no air.” (If there was no air within the chimney, some could have entered 15. The beginning of the experiment. NOTE TO THE TEACHER.—The materials needed for this exercise are a piece of candle about two inches long, a lamp chimney (one with a plain top is best), a 10 at the top.) Place a couple of pencils beside the relighted can- dle and on them the chimney, as in Fig. 16. Ques. What is the difference between the way in which the candle burns now and before the chimney was placed over it ? Ans. It flickers, or dances about more. Ques. What makes boys and girls feel like dancing about when they go out from a warm school room ? Ans.- The fresh’ air. Ques. What makes the flame dance or flicker when the chimney is raised by the pencils ? Ans. Because it gets fresh air under the chimney. Repeat the first experiment, in which the flame grows gradually smaller till it is extinguished. Ques. Why now does the flame die out? Ans. Because it had no fresh air. Ques. Is it really necessary to have fresh air in order to keep a flame burning? Ans. Yes; since otherwise the can- dle would continue to burn until it is all used up. To prove this further, let the candle be relighted. Place the chimney over it, now having = the top completely closed by a 16. Supplying air underneath the chimney. piece of paper. Have ready a lighted splinter or match, and piece of white crockery or window glass, a piece of fine wire about six inches long, a bit of quicklime about half the size of an egg, and some matches. _ All of these, with the possible exception of the quicklime, can be obtained in any household. If you perform the experiment requiring the lime, be sure that you start with a fresh piece of quick or stone lime, which can be had of any lime or cement dealer. Dur- ing the performance of the following simple experiments, ask your pupils to describe to you what they see you do at each step. The questions inserted in the text are offered merely as suggestions in the developing of the desired ideas. The answers, which are intended only for the teacher, are those which it is desired shall be given by the pupils. II just as soon as the candle is extinguished remove the paper from the chimney-top and thrust in the lighted splinter. Ques. Why does the light on the splinter go out ? Ans. Because there is no fresh air inside the chimney. Ques. What became of the freshness that was in the air ? Ans. It was destroyed by the burning candle. Evidently there is some decided difference between fresh air and air from which the freshness has been burned, since a flame can continue to burn only in air that has the quality known as freshness. This quality in fresh air is due to a gas which has the name of oxygen, and which is represented by the letter O. Ques. Why was the splinter put out instantly while the candle flame died out gradually ? Ans. When the splinter was thrust in, the air had no fresh- ness or oxygen at all, while when the candle was placed under the chimney it had whatever oxygen was originally in the air within the chimney. Endeavor to have this point clearly understood: that the candle did not go out as long as the air had any oxygen and that the splinter was extinguished immediately because there was no oxygen left. Relight the candle. Our second question may now be repeated : Ques. Is anything else burning besides the candle ? Ans. Yes; the oxygen of the air. When the subject of the necessity of fresh air and conse- quently of oxygen for the burning of the candle seems to be understood, the following questions, together with any others which suggest themselves, may be asked. What is the reason that draughts are opened in stoves ? Why is the bottom of a “burner” on a lamp always full of holes ? II. CARBON. Let us now observe the blackened end of a burned match or splinter. This black substance is usually known by the name of charcoal and if handled will blacken the fingers. Try this. The same substance is found on the bottoms of kettles which have been used over a wood fire, only it is a fine powder. I2 Let us see what was burning when the candle was lighted, besides the oxygen in the air. Relight the candle and hold the porcelain or glass about an inch above the bright part of the flame. Ques. What happens to it there ? Next lower it directly into the flame. (Fig. 17.) Ques. What is the black stuff that. gets onto the ola f Look closely and see whether it is not deposited here also as a fine powder. Ques. Will this deposit from the candle blacken the fingers ? Instead of using the name charcoal for this black substance, let us call it carbon (represented by C), the better name, be- cause there are several kinds of carbon, and charcoal is only that kind which is |, a, carton or rae rather light and easily blackens the hands. the Some other kinds are the diamond, coal and the black substance in lead pencils. This last kind is called graphite. These are all much harder than charcoal. The carbon from the candle flame came mostly from the wax or tallow; only a very small portion came from the wick. _ It cannot be seen in the tallow, neither can it be seen in un- burned wood, and yet it can be found when the wood is partly burned. The condition in which the carbon exists in the tallow or wood may be explained in a later lesson. At present it suffices that it is there. Why, now, is the glass blackened when held in the flame and not when held just directly above it? It is because the carbon from the candle has not been completely burned at the middle of the flame; but it is burned beyond the bright part of the flame. ie the glass is held in the flame, the carbon that is not yet completely burned is deposited on it, because it is ‘cooler than that in the surrounding flame. A fine deposit of carbon can be had from any of the luminous parts of the flame; and it is these thousands of little particles of carbon, getting white hot, which glow like coals in the stove and i) make the light. Just as soon as they are completely burned, there is no more light, the same as coals cease to glow when burned to ashes. III. CARBON DIOXID. Let us now enquire what becomes of the carbon that we find in the bright part of the flame and of the oxygen that was in the air in the lamp chimney. When the candle was extinguished within the chimney there was no oxygen left, as shown by the lighted splinter which was put out immediately. Neither could any of the particles of carbon be found except on the wick. Yet they both still exist within the chimney but in an entirely different condition than before. While the candle was burning the little particles of carbon that we find ascending in the flame are joining with the oxygen of the air and making an entirely new substance. This new substance is a gas like oxygen and can not be seen in the air. Ques. Of what two substances is this new substance made? Ans. Carbon and Oxygen. What shall we call this substance? Since it is made of car- bon and oxygen it ought, if possible, to have a name that will show its composition. Its name is carbon dioxid. The words carbon and oxid show of what it is made and the prefix ad, which means two, shows that it contains twice as much oxygen as carbon. This is represented by the formula CO,. Place the bit of quicklime in about half a glass of water on the day previous to the experiment. When ready for use there will be a white sediment at the bottom and a thin white scum on the top of the clear lime water. Call the attention of the pupils to this white scum as a question about it will follow. Make a loop in the end of the piece of wire by turning it around the point of a lead pencil. Remove the scum from the lime water with a piece of paper and insert the loop into the clear water. When withdrawn, the loop ought to hold a film of clear water. Pass the wire through a piece of cardboard or stiff paper, and arrange as shown in Fig. 18. Place the chimney over the lighted candle. Lower the loop into the chimney and cover the top of the chimney with the 14 paper. Withdraw the wire a couple of minutes after the candle goes out. Note the cloudy appearance of the film of water on the wire. The cloudiness was caused by the carbon dioxid formed while the candle was burning. Omitting the candle, hang the freshly wetted wire in the empty chimney. Let the film of lime water remain within the chimney for the same length of time as when the candle was used. It does not become cloudy now. The cloudiness in clear lime water is a test or indication that carbon dioxid is present. Ques. What caused the white scum on the lime water which stood over night ? Ans. Some CO, in the air. Ques. How does the CO, get into the air? Ans. It is formed whenever wood, coal, oil or gas 1s burned. The amount of CO, in ordinary air is very small, being only three parts in ten thousand. If the lime water in the loop be left long enough in the air it will become cloudy. The reason it clouds so quickly when the candle is being burned is that a large amount of CO,is formed. Besides being made by real flames, CO, is formed every time we breathe out air. Renew the film of water in the loop and breathe against it gently for two or three minutes. The presence of CO, in the breath may be shown better by pouring off some of the clear lime water into a clean glass and blowing into it through a straw. An interesting question to end the lesson with is: Why does water put out a fire? The answer is, not alone because it wets, but because it cools the carbon, which must be hot in order to unite with the oxygen, and prevents the oxygen of the air from getting as near the carbon as before. 18. The test with the film of lime water. TO THE TEACHER: This is the second of a proposed series of leafiets designed to suggest methods of presenting nature study upon common-place subjects.

The other day, as I walked through an apple orchard for the first time since the long winter had set in, I was struck by the many different shapes and sizes of the limbs as I saw them against the blue-gray of the February sky. I cut four of them in passing, and as I walked back to the house I wondered why the twigs were all so different; and I found myself guessing whether there would be any apples next summer. Now, I have had pictures made of these four little apple limbs. Let us look them over and see if they have any story to tell of how they grew and what they have set out to do. li One of these twigs (Fig. 19) was taken from a strong young tree which, I remember, bore its first good crop of apples last year. This simple twig is plainly of two years’ growth, for the “ring”’ between the old and new wood is seen at B. That is, the main stem from the base up to B grew in 1895, and the part from B to the tip grewin 1896. But the buds upon these two parts look very unlike. Let us see what these differences mean. We must now picture to ourselves how this shoot from B to 10 looked last summer whilst it was growing. The shoot bore leaves. Where? There was one just below each bud; or, to be more exact, one bud developed just above each leaf. These buds did not put out present size and then What are these do in 1897?

Upon that part seem to have increased in size. have grown last year. There were these buds in 1896, but a cluster of leaves came out ofeachlittlebud in the spring. As these leaves expanded and grew, the little bud grew on; that is, each bud grew into a tiny branch, and when fall came had a bud on its end to continue year to come. What we took 2 Ras Otay therefore, little They simply grew to their 8 part of this wonderful little twig “3 —the branches are of different them (7, 8, 9) have so far out- that they seem to be of a differ- be noticed, too, that the very never grew at all, but remained during the entire year 1896. It that the dormant bud and the on the lower part of the shoot, branches are at the very tip of the twig as it looked in the fall that it consisted of a single 21 shoot, terminating at B. It had a large termi- nal bud (like those at 7, 8, 9, 10), and this bud pushed on into a branch in 1896, and three other buds near the tip did the same thing. Why did some of these branches grow to be larger than others? ‘“ Simply because they were upon the strongest part of the shoot, or that part where the greatest growth naturally takes place,” some one will answer. But this really does not answer the question, for we want to know why this portion of the shoot is strongest. The real reason is because there is more sunlight and more room on this outward or upward end. In 1897,— if this shoot had been spared—each of these four largest twigs (7, 8, 9,10) would have done the same thing as the parent twig did in 1896: each would have pushed on from its end, and one or two or three other strong branches would prob- ably have started from the wrong side buds near the tips, the very lowest buds would, no doubt, have remained perfectly inactive or dormant for lack of opportunity, and the intermediate buds would have made short branches like 2, 3, 4,5, 6. In other words, the tree always tries to grow on- ward from its tips, and these tip shoots eventually become strong branches, unless some of them die in the struggle for existence. What, now, be- comes of the little branches lower down ? II. From another apple tree I took the twig shown in Fig. 20. We see at once that it is very unlike the other one. It seems to be two years old, one year’s growth extending from the base up to 7, and the last year’s growth extending from 7 to 8; but we shall see upon looking closer that this is not so. The short branchlets at 3, 4, 5, 7 are very different from those in Fig. 19. They seem to be broken off. The fact is that 8 F ee ‘3 a Fig. 20.—A three-year-old shoot and the frutt- spurs. Half size. to to the broken ends shown where the apples were borne in 1896. The branchlets that bore them, therefore, must have grown in 1895, and the main branch, from 1 to 7, grew in 1894. It is plain, from the looks of the buds, that the shoot from 7 to 8, grew last year, 1896. Starting from the base, then, we have the main twig growing in 1894; the small side branches growing in 1895 ; these little branches bearing apples in 1896, and the terminal shoot also growing in 1896. Why was there no terminal shoot growing in 1895 ? Simply because its tip developed a fruit-bud (at 7) and therefore could not send out a branch; for there are two kinds of buds,—the small pointed leaf-bud and the thick blunt fruit-bud. If the branchlets 3, 4, 5, 7, are two years old, the dormant buds—1, 2—must be the same age. That is, for two long years these little buds have been waiting for some bug to eat off the buds and leaves above, or some accident to break the shoot beyond them, so that they might have a chance to grow; but they have waited in vain. We have now found, therefore, that the little side shoots upon apple twigs become fruit-branches or fruit-spurs, whilst the more ambitious branches above them are making a great display of stem and leaves. 7 But will these fruit-spurs bear fruit again in 1897? No. The bearing of an apple is hard work, and these spurs did not have enough vitality left to make fruit-buds for the next year; but they must perpetuate themselves, so they have sent out small side buds which will bear a cluster of leaves and grow into another little spur in 1897, and in that year these new spurs will make fruit-buds for bearing in 1898. The side bud is plainly seen on spur 5, also on spur 4, whilst spur 7 has sown a seed, so to speak, in the bud at 6. It is therefore plain why the tree bears every other year. i There was one tree in the orchard from which the farmer had not picked his apples. Perhaps the apples were not worth pick- ing. At any rate, the dried apples, shriveled and brown, are 23 still hanging on the twigs, and even the birds do not seem to care for them. I broke off one of these twigs (Fig. 21). Let us see how many apples this curious twig has borne. We can tell by the square-cut scars. An apple was once borne at I, another at 2, another at 4, another at 5, another at 6, and another at 7,—and at 7 there will be a scar when the apple falls. Six apples this modest shoot has borne! And I wonder how many of them got ripe, or how many were taken by the worms, or how many were eaten by the little boys and girls on their way to school! A curious thing happened when the fruit was growing at 2. Two side buds started out, instead of one, and both of them grew the next year. But one of the little branchlets fell sick and died, or a bug nipped off its end, or it starved to death; and the grave is still marked by the little stick standing up at 3. The other branchlet thrived, and eventually bore apples at 4, 5, 6 and 7. I have said that these fruit-spurs bear only every other year ; then, if this branch has borne six apples, it must be twelve Fic. 21.—A fruit-spur which has borne six apples. Half size. years old. The truth is that it is about twenty years old, for some years it failed to bear; but the age cannot be traced out in the picture, although any little boy or girl with bright eyes could soon learn to trace out yearly rings on the shoot itself.

It begins at A, and is continued at B, Capi rand Let us count the yearly rings and see how old the whole limb is. These rings are at 28, 26, D, 12, 1,—five of them; and asthe shoot grew one year before it made any ring, and another year made no increase in length—as we shall presently see~the whole branch must be seven years old. That is, the limb probably started in 1890.* Let us begin, then, at A, and follow it out. 1890. Started as aspur from the main branch, A, and grewto I. 1891. Apple borne at 1. This apple did not mature, however, as we can readily see by the smallness of the scar. In this year, two side buds developed to continue the spur the next year. 1892. Gave up its desire to be a fruit-spur, and made a strong growth on to 12. For some reason, it had a good chance to grow. Perhaps the farmer pruned the tree, and thereby gave the shoot an opportunity; or perhaps he plowed and fertilized the land. In the meantime one of the side buds grew to 3, and the other to 7, and each made a fruit-bud at its end. 1893. Shoot grew lustily,—on to D. The fruit-bud at 3 bore an apple, which probably matured, as shown by the scar 2. Two side buds were formed be- neath this apple to continue the spur next year. The fruit-bud at 7 bloomed, but the apple fell early, as. shown by the small scar. Two side buds were formed. The buds upon the main shoot—1 to 12—all remained dormant. *It is really impossible to tell whether the shoot started from the limb A in 1889 or 1890, without knowing the age of A; for the spur may have developed its blos- som bud at the end in either the first or second year of its life. That is, young fruit-spurs sometimes make a blossom bud the very year they start, but they oftener “* stand still”? the second year and delay the blossom bud until that time. 26 1894 Shoot grew from D to beyond E. Side bud of 2 grew to 4, and made a fruit-bud on its end; the other side bud grew onto 5, and there made a fruit-bud. Side bud of 7 grew on to Io, and the other one to 8, each ending in a fruit-bud. Buds on old shoot—1 to 12—still remained dormant. Some of the buds on the 1893 growth—12 to D—remained dormant, but some of them made fruit-spurs,—14, 16, 17, 18, 19,520,129; 22; 24. 1895. Shoot grew from beyond E to 28. Flowers were borne at 4 and 5, but at 4 the fruit fell early, for the five or six scars of the flowers can be seen, showing that no one of them developed more strongly than the other; that is, none of the flowers “set.” A fairly good fruit was probably borne at 5. At the base of each, a bud started to continue the spur next year. Upon the other spur, flowers were borne both at 8 and Io. At 10 none of the flowers set fruit, but a side bud developed. At 8 the fruit partially matured, and a side bud was also developed. The buds upon the old stem from 1 to 12 still remained dormant. Some of the spurs on the 1893 growth—12 to D—devel- oped fruit-buds for bearing in 1896. Some of the buds on the 1894 growth—D to beyond E— remained dormant, but others developed into small fruit- spurs. One of these buds, near the top of the 1894 growth, threw out a long shoot, starting from E; and the bud at 26 also endeavored to make a long branch, but failed. 1896. Main shoot grew from 28 to the end. The side bud below 4 (where the fruit was borne the year before), barely lived, not elongating, as seen above 3. This branch of the spur is becoming weak and will never bear again. The side bud of 5, however, made a fairly good spur and developed a fruit-bud at its end, as seen at 6. The side bud of 10 grew somewhat, making the very short spur 11. This branchlet is also getting weak. The bud of 8, however, developed a strong spur at 9. Both 11 andg bear fruit-buds, but that on I1 is probably too weak ever to bear fruit again. In fact, the entire spurs, from ) to 6 and I to 9, are too weak to be of much account for fruit-bearing. 27 This year several of the spurs along the 1893 growth—12 to D—bore flowers. Flowers were borne from two buds on the first one (at 13 and 14), but none of the flowers “set.” One of the little apples that died last June still clings to the spur, at 14. A side bud, 15, formed to continue the spur in 1897. Flowers were borne at 16, 20, 21 and 23, but no apples developed. Upon 16 and 20 the flowers died soon after they opened, as seen by the remains of them. Upon 23 one of the flowers set an apple, but the apple soon died. The spurs 17 and 18 are so weak that they have never made © fruit-buds, and they are now nearly dead. The spurs 19 and 22 have behaved differently. Like the others they grew in 1894 and would have made terminal fruit-buds in 1895, and would have borne fruit in 1896; but the terminal buds were broken off in the fall or winter of 1894, so that two side buds developed in 1895, and each of these developed a fruit-bud at its end in 1896 in the spur 19, but only one of them de- veloped such a bud in 22. Upon these spurs, therefore, the bearing year has been changed. Upon the growth of 1894—D to beyond E—only three spurs have developed, Nos. 24, 25, 26. These started out in 1895, and two of them—z25 and 26—have made large, fat buds which are evidently fruit-buds. The shoot at E grew on to EE, and all the buds on its lower two-year old portion remained dormant. On the 1895 growth—from beyond E to 28—all the buds remained dormant save one, and this one—27—made only a very feeble attempt to grow into a spur: The buds upon the 1892 growth—1 to 12—are still dormant and waiting for an opportunity to grow. What an eventful history this apple twig has had! And yet in all the seven years of its life, after having made fifteen efforts to bear fruit, it has not produced a single good apple! The fault, therefore, does not lie in the shoot. It has done the best it could. The trouble has been that the farmer either did not give the tree enough food to enable it to support the fruits, or he did not prune the tree so as to give the twig light and room, or he allowed apple-scab or some other disease to kill the young apples as they were forming. I am wondering, therefore, if, when the trees fail to bear, it is not quite as often the fault of the farmer as it is of the trees ? To THE TEACHER: This ts the third of a proposed series of leaflets designed to sug- gest methods of presenting nature-study upon common-place sub jects. This ts anew field of effort for the Collegeof Agriculture, and we therefore look upon the methods as largely experimental. We are endeavoring to determine the best way of interesting chil- dren in country life. You can give us many suggestions, and we should like a free expression of your opinions and experiences. It should be borne tn mind that the object of these lessons is not to impart direct and specific tnformation, but to train the child in the powers of seeing and inquiring. We suggest that you familiarize yourself thoroughly with the apple twigs in these four lessons, and then collect a few twigs and examine them for your- self. When you think that you understand such twigs, collect some more (or have the children collect them), and giving each pupil one, conduct an observation on them. If this work ts done now whilst the twigs are dormant, you will find the children to be greatly interested in the trees when the buds begin to burst. Once the inguiry is started, you will no doubt be able to conduct other similar observations from time to time. Lf questions come up which you cannot answer, write them to us and we may be able to help you. We suggest that you ask your pupils to write short compositions upon these lessons and to make sketches of what they see, and that you send us some of these from time to time tn order that we may learn how the experiment ts working. We do not care for the best essays alone, but simply the average. The suggestions which we obtain from teachers will aid us greatly in the prep- aration of future leaflets. | FIFTH EDITION.

ROBERTS, DIREcTOR. A Children’s Garden. BY, 1. .. BATE RY. We want every school child in the State to grow a few plants this summer. We want everyone of them to learn something of why and how plants grow, and the best and surest way to learn is to grow the plants and to watch them carefully. We want everyone to become interested in everything that lives and grows. It does not matter so very much just what kinds of plants one grows, as it does that he grows something and grows it the best that he knows how. We want the children to grow these plants for the love of it,—that is, for the fun of it—and so we propose that they grow flowers; for when one grows pumpkins and potatoes, and such things, he is usually thinking of how much money he is going to make at the end of the sea- son. Yet, we should like some rivalry in the matter in every school, and we therefore propose that a kind of a fair be held at the school house next September, soon after school begins, so that each child may show the flowers which he has grown. What a jolly time that will be! Now, we must not try to grow too many things or to do too much. Therefore, we propose that you grow sweet peas and China asters. They are both easy to grow, and the seeds are cheap. Each one has many colors, and everybody likes them. Now let us tell you just how we would grow them. 1. The place.—Never put them—or any other flowers—in the middle of the lawn,—that is, not out in the center of the 30 yard. They do not look well there, and the grass roots run under them and steal the food and moisture. I am sure that you would not like to see a picture hung up on a fence-post. It has no background, and it looks out of place. The picture does not mean anything when hung in sucha spot. In the same way, a flower bed does not mean anything when set out in the center of alawn. We must have a background for it, if possible,—a wall upon which to hang it. So we will put the flower bed just in front of some bushes or near the back fence, or alongside the smoke-house, or along the walk at the side of the house or in the back yard. The flowers will not only look better in such places, but it will not matter so muchif we make a failure of our flower bed; there are always risks to run, for the old hen may scratch up the seeds, the cow may break into the yard some summer night, or some bug may eat the plants up. Perhaps some of the children may live so near to the school- house that they can grow their plants upon the school grounds, and so have sweet peas and asters where there are usually docks and smartweeds. Grow them alongside the fence, or against the schoolhouse if there is a place where the eaves will not drip on them. 2. How to make the bed.—Spade the ground up deep. Take out all the roots of docks and thistles and other weeds. Shake the dirt all out of the sods and throw the grassaway. You may need a little manure in the soil, especially if the land is either very hard or very loose and sandy. But the manure must be very fine and well mixed into the soil. It is easy, however, to make sweet pea soil so rich that the plants will run to vine and not bloom well. Make the bed long and narrow, but not narrower than three feet. If it is narrower than this, the grass roots will be apt to run under it and suck up the moisture. If the bed can be got at on both sides, it may be as wide as five feet. Sow the seeds in little rows crosswise the bed. The plants can then be weeded and hoed easily from either side. If the rows are marked by little sticks, or if a strong mark is left in the earth, you can break the crust between the rows (with a 31 rake) before the plants are up. The rows ought to be four or five inches further apart than the width of a narrow rake. 3. How to water the plants.—I wonder if you have a water- ing-pot ? If you have, put it. where you cannot find it, for we are going to water this garden with a rake! We want you to learn, in this little garden, the first great lesson in farming,— how to save the water in the soil. If you learn that much this summer, you will know more than many old farmers do. You know that the soil is moist in the Spring when you plant the seeds. Where does this moisture goto? It dries up,—goes off into the air. If we could cover up the soil with something, we should prevent the moisture from drying up. Let us cover it with a layer of loose, dry earth! We will make this covering by raking the bed every few days,—once every week anyway, and oftener than that if the top of the soil becomes hard and crusty, as it does after a rain. Instead of pouring water on the bed, therefore, we will keep the moisture in the bed. If, however, the soil becomes so dry in spite of you that the plants do not thrive, then water the bed. Do not sprinkle it, but water it. Wet it clear through at evening. Then in the morning, when the surface begins to get dry, begin the raking again to keep the water from getting away. Sprinkling the plants every day or two is one of the surest ways to spoil them. 4. When and how to sow.—The sweet peas should be put in just as soon as the ground can be dug, even before frosts are passed. Yet, good results can be had if the seeds are put in as late as the 10th of May. In the sweet pea garden at Cor- nell last year, we sowed the seeds on the 20th of April. This was about right. The year before, we sowed them on the 30th. If sown very early, they are likely to bloom better, but they may be gone before the middle of September. The blooming can be much prolonged if the flowers are cut as soon as they begin to fade. Plant sweet peas deep,—two to three or sometimes even four inches. When the plants are a few inches high, pull out a part of them so that they will not stand nearer together than six inches in the row. It is a good plan to sow sweet peas in 32 double rows,—that is, put two rows only five or six inches apart and stick the brush or place the chicken-wire support between them. China asters may be sown from the middle of May to the first of June. In one large test at Cornell, we sowed them the 4th of June and had good success, but this is rather later than we would advise. The China asters are autumn flowers, and they should be in their prime in September and early October. Sow the aster seed shallow,—not more than a half inch deep. The tall kinds of asters should have at least a foot between the plants in the row, and the dwarf kinds six to eight inches. Sometimes China asters have rusty or yellow spots on the undersides of their leaves. This is a fungous disease. If it appears, have your father make some ammoniacal carbonate of copper solution and then spray them with it; or Bordeaux mixture will do just as well or better, only that it discolors the leaves and flowers. 5. What varieties to choose.—In the first place, do not plant too much. A garden which looks very small when the pussy- willows come out and the frogs begin to peep, is pretty big in the hot days of July. A garden four feet wide and twenty feet long, half sweet peas and half asters, is about as big as most boys and girls will take care of. In the next place, do not get too many varieties. Four or five kinds each of peas and asters will be enough. Buy the named varieties,—that is, those of known colors—not the mixed packets. If you are very fond of reds, then choose the reddest kinds ; but it is well to put in at least three colors. The varie- ties which please you may not please me or your neighbor, so that I cannot advise you what to get, but I will give some lists which may help you. Amongst all the sweet peas grown at Cornell last year, the following seemed to be best on our grounds: Dark purple. Waverly. Duke of Clarence. triped purple. Gray Friar. Juanita. Senator. 33 Lavender. Countess of Radnor. Dorothy Tennant. Lottie Eckford. White. The Bride. | ‘Emily Henderson. Queen of England,iAlba Magnifica. Primrose. Mrs. Eckford. White flushed with pink. Slushing Beauty. Katherine Tracy. Eliza Eckford. Striped or flaked pink. Ramona. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain. Orange-pink. Lady Penzance. Meteor. Rose-pink. Her Majesty. Splendor. Apple Blossom. Boreatton. Rose-pink shaded with Firefly. orange. Princess Victoria. At another place or in another season these varieties might not have given us the most satisfaction; but these names suggest some of the colors, if one does not happen to havea seedsman’s catalogue handy. Of China asters, the Comet type—in various colors—will probably give the most satisfaction. They are mostly large- ° growing kinds. Other excellent kinds are the Perfection and Peony-flowered, Semple or Branching, Chrysanthemum-flowered, Washington, Victoria, and, for early, Queen of the Market. Odd varieties are Crown, German Quilled, Victoria Needle and Lilliput. Very dwarf kinds are Dwarf Bouquet or Dwarf Ger- man, and Shakespeare. Anyone who wants to know more about sweet peas may have our Bulletins 111 and 127, and for China asters Bulletingo. Our Bulletin 121 has instructions about laying out yards. Instruc- tions on spraying, with formulas, are contained in Bulletin 114. Now, let us see how many little boys and girls in New York State will raise sweet peas and China asters this year! And we should like them to write us all about it. | a: Ys i a ara ee \\ FF b. 5 » Wry tee, ' = seers 1m Sse aoe Fe ee fo sia Pe = 23.—A clump of weeds in the corner by the house,—motherwort and Virginia creeper.

Address, Chief Clerk, College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. ITHACA, N. Y.,\May 31, team, The demand for ‘The Children’s Garden ” still continuing, and the season for sweet pea planting being past, it seems to be necessary to say that there are many interesting and satisfactory kinds of flowers which still can be sown. The China Aster (which we have recommended) may still be planted. One of the chief merits of this plant for our purpose is the lateness of bloom, allowing the flowers to be used in the schools after they open in the fall. An excellent flower for sowing during May is the common annual Phlox (Phlox Drummondi of the cata- logues). Poppies are also satisfactory, but the flowers do not last long. Petunias are also excellent. Balsams, Clarkias, Coreopsis (or Calliopsis), and Zinnias may still be sown. % | THIRD EDITION. TEACHER’S LEAFLETS FOR USE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. No. 5. JUNE 1, 1897. PREPARED BY THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, N. Y. Issued under Chapter 128 of the Laws of 1897. I. P. ROBERTS, DIRECTOR. Some Tent-Makers. BY ANNA BOTSFORD COMSTOCK. It is unfortunate that there is, throughout the country, a prevailing dislike for the small creatures called ‘‘worms.” This dislike is, in most instances, the result of wrong training and is by no means a natural instinct. As evidence of this, witness the — joy with which the small boy or even the small girl, handles “bait”? when preparing to go fishing; although of all common “worms” surely the angle-worm is least attractive from any point of view. A still more striking example is the hardihood with which young fishermen catch the “dobson” to use as a lure for bass,—for the ‘“‘dobson” is not only very ugly in appearance but is also vicious, often pinching severely the careless fingers of its captors. Thus the dislike for insects being the result of the point of view, it should be the first duty of the teacher to remove this repulsion. In the lesson which follows there is no occasion for teacher or pupil to touch the insects unless they choose to do so; but an attempt is made to arouse an interest in the habits and ways of insect life. If we can succeed in arousing the child’s interest in the actions of a caterpillar, he will soon forget his dis- like for the “little brothers” which live upon foliage and which experience miraculous changes of form during their short lives. In selecting the Apple-tree Tent Caterpillar for this first lesson upon insects, we have been guided by the following facts: First, it is to be found in early spring; second, its life-history from 38 egg to cocoon is accomplished within the limits of the spring term of our schools: third, it iscommon everywhere; fourth, it is an important insect from an economic point of view, and the children may be taught how to keep it out of the orchards, thus making the lesson of practical use. In this lesson the teacher is encouraged to use her own methods and originate new ones to make the work interesting. The leaflet is meant for the exclusive use of the teacher and the text should not be shown to the pupils. The pictures on the last page* are to be shown to the pupils at the teacher’s discretion. When answers are herein given to the questions asked, they are meant to aid the teacher in drawing out the correct replies from the children. MATERIALS NEEDED. 1. A pocket lens or a tripod lens is desir- able, but not a necessity. These may be bought from or ordered through any jeweler or bookseller. They cost from twenty-five cents to one dollar apiece. It is well worth while to any teacher to possess one of these magnifiers as a means of interesting her pupils in many ways. 2. A bottle, a broad bottomed one being preferable, so that it will not tip over easily. This bottle is to be filled with water in which a small branch of the apple-tree may be placed to keep it fresh. A common ink bottle will do to begin with. Fig. 24. = 3. A wooden or pasteboard box, 24. The bottle with the twelve or fourteen inches square,—a twigs bearing the egg soap box or hat box will do.

These are easily found before the leaves appear on apple trees or on wild cherry. METHODS OF USING THIS LEAFLET. The teacher should give the pupils a preliminary talk upon tents. Speak of the tents used by Indians, ad armies, by cir- cuses, by ‘campers, and de- scribe them each in turn. The teacher should use all the facts at her disposal, and all her ingenuity to get the children interested in this subject. Spend a little time for two or three days in dis- cussing tents, and get the pupils to tell orally or in essays all they know about tents. When suf- ficient interest is thus aroused tell them this: “The reason we have = talked about tents is be- ; 25. The breeding cage. cause we are going to study some little folks who make tents and live in them. Their tents are not made of bark like the Indian’s or of canvas like the soldier's, but are made of the finest silk, which is spun and woven by the tenters themselves. These silken tents are not pitched upon the ground and fastened down by ropes and pegs, for these folk, like the Swiss Family Robinson, live in trees. Many people live in one of these tree tents, and they are all brothers and sisters.. Now, just where these tents are made and how they are made, and what sort of little people make them are things which we will find out if we watch carefully and patiently.” 40 Lesson_I.—THE Eccs. (Fig. 27.) The teacher having found the egg mass should show it to the pupils and let them, during play hours, collect some for them- selves. Say that they are eggs, but explain no farther. Get the children to examine the egg masses and ask the following questions: On what portion of the trees are these egg masses found ? What is the shape of the egg mass? (Bring out the fact that they look like a portion of the twig swollen or budded. ) What is the color of the egg mass ? Is there much difference in color between the egg mass and the branch? Has this similarity in color any use? (Develop the idea that the shape and color of the egg mass makes it resemble the twig so closely as to hide it from birds or any animal that would be likely to eat the eggs.) Does the egg mass shine ? Why does it shine ? Ans. Because there is a coat of varnish around the eggs. Why was varnish put around the eggs? (Get the answer by asking why varnish is put upon wood. Varnish is put around the eggs to preserve them and keep them dry during the rains and snows of autumn and winter.) If the eggs are near the hatching period the varnish will have scaled off, revealing the tiny white eggs; if not, let the teacher remove the varnish with a knife or pin, thus exposing the eggs. If the teacher has a lens the children should view the eggs through it. Exhibit the picture, Fig. 28, which represents the eggs greatly enlarged,showing the net work of cement which holds them in place. Ask the children to compare the shape of these eggs with that of bird eggs, and bring out the fact that these are thimble-shaped. Then ask the pupils to guess what sort of a mother laid these eggs, cemented them fast with a net work and then covered them with a coat of waterproof varnish. After sufficient interest is aroused on. this point, say to them: “One day last July alittle moth or miller was flitting about the 41 tree from which these twigs were taken. If we could have been there and caught her we would have found her a pretty little creature with four wings covered with down and a soft fuzzy body. In color she was a pale rosy-brown, and had two bands of pale yellow across each front wing.” (Call attention to the picture of the moth, Fig. 31.*) ‘This is the little mother which laid her eggs in a ring around the twig and covered them with a water-proof coat to keep them safe and sound until this spring, when they will hatch.” What will come out of these eggs when they hatch? The teacher should not answer this question but let the pupils watch the eggs and discover the answer for themselves. Place the twig with the egg mass upon it in the bottle of water (Fig. 24). It will be best if this twig isa part of a forked branch, so that the caterpillars may make their web upon it. As soon as the eggs hatch, ask the following questions : What sort of young ones hatch out of the eggs ? Are they like their mother? What color are they ? Why are their heads so large ? Ans. So that they can gnaw the lid off the egg and thus get out. Why should the young ones of a pretty moth be little black caterpillars ? (Leave this answer for future investigation.) After the caterpillars hatch, it will be necessary to bring in fresh apple twigs with buds and leaves upon them each day so as to feed the little prisoners. It is very desirable that they be kept alive until they have begun their web and have molted at least twice. If they show a disposition to wander off put the breeding cage, Fig. 25, over the bottle and branch and so keep them confined with their food. To supplement the study of the imprisoned caterpillars, study should be made at the same time of the insects out of doors and * If a specimen of the moth could be obtained it would be much more interesting to the children than the picture. The teacher can collect or breed the moths in July to use the next spring to illustrate the lesson. 42 under natural conditions. If none appear upon an apple or wild cherry tree near the school-house, the teacher should transfer a colony to sucha tree (Fig. 26). This may be done by fastening a twig with an egg mass upon it to a branch of the tree. If too late to get the unhatched 7 cess get a nest with the small worms in it and tie that to the convenient branch instead. This study of the insects out of doors is very neces- sary in discovering their normal habits. LEsson II. THE CATERPILLARS. (Fig. 29.) If the eggs hatch before the leaves appear, upon what do the caterpillars feed ? How long after hatching be- fore the caterpillars commence to make their tent ? Where is the tent always formed ? Ans. In the fork of the branches. . Why is this so ? Ans. The forking branches 26. A young colony of tent-makers offer a convenient support upon i du gM a which to stretch the tent and when, as is the case out of doors, the tent is spread in a fork of the larger limbs, these limbs afford two branching roads for the caterpillars to follow in searching for food. od Let the pupils make drawings of the tent as soon as it is large enough to be seen well. What is the color of the caterpillars when they are a week old ? Upon what do they feed? . : 43 At what time of day do they feed ? When on a tree, how far from their tent do they go for their food ? Are the paths over which the caterpillars travel when search- ing for food marked in any way ? Ans. This caterpillar spins a silken thread wherever it goes and therefore leaves a trail of silk behind it. Of what is the tent made ? Compare the tent with a spider’s web and note the differences. Where does the silk come from, of which the tent is made ? Ans. The silk glands of the caterpillar are situated near the mouth, while those of the spider are on the rear end of the body. LESSON III. How THE INSECTS GROW. The caterpillars shed their skins about five times. The first molt occurs about three days after they hatch. The second molt about four days later; and the third molt about six days after the second. After each molt, the color and markings of the caterpillars are somewhat changed. During some of the molts the pupils should watch a caterpillar change his skin. After the class has seen this operation the teacher may give the following lesson : Where is your skeleton ? What is it made of ? What is it for? Bring out the fact that the skeleton is a support for the muscles and organs of the body. Where is an insect skeleton? Get as many answers to this question as possible, then say: The insect’s skeleton is on the outside of its body instead of a skin, and the flesh and muscles are supported by it on the inside instead of on the outside like our own. As this skeleton is hard, it cannot stretch; as the insect grows and gets too large it bursts open and the insect walks out of it. Now, underneath this old, hard skeleton a new one is formed which is-soft and flexible at first and so stretches to accommodate the growing insect. After a little time this new skeleton also 44 hardens and has to be shed when it is too small to suit its owner, Notes should be made by the pupil upon the change of color and markings after the different molts and the process of molting should be described. LEssON IV. THE PupPa. (Fig. 30.) In ordinary seasons, about the middle of May the caterpillars get their growth. If those in the breeding cage have died or have not thriven, bring in a few full grown caterpillars from the orchard and put them on some branches in the breeding cage. Give them fresh food each day as long as they will eat; also place some sticks and chips around on the bottom of the breeding cage for the worms to “spin up” upon. Then have the children observe the following things: How do the caterpillars begin their cocoons. Where are the cocoons made ? How are they made ? Draw a picture of a cocoon ? About a week after a cocoon is made open it carefully with a pair of scissors so as not to hurt the inmate and let the pupils see the change that has come over the caterpillar. Have the pupils describe the pupa. Let the pupils make drawings of the pupa. The moths will hardly emerge from the cocoons until after the close of the school term. The children should be encouraged to gather the cocoons off the fences around the orchards and off the sticks and branches upon the ground and to carry them home. The cocoons may be placed in pasteboard boxes and kept until the moths emerge, about the middle of July. LESSON V. DESTROYING THE CATERPILLARS. After the caterpillars are fully grown and all the processes of growth have been observed by the pupils, the teacher should give a lesson upon the injury which they do to trees and the necessity of keeping the orchards free from these pests. This 45 lesson should be given guardedly so as not to encourage the children to cruelty in killing insects. The teacher should always try to inculcate in the child reverence for life, that wonderful force, which we can so easily take from a creature but which we may never give back. It is better to appeal to the child’s sense of justice in giving this lesson. The teacher may vary it to suit her own ideas, but in substance it might be given as follows: “‘ All life is sacred; the smallest worm has as good a right to live in the sight of God as you or any child has. Life should never be taken except when necessary. However, no being has the right to interfere with the rights of another. Neither the child nor the worm has any right to trespass upon the property of any one else.” ‘Let us see whether these caterpillars are trespassers or not. The farmer works hard to earn the money to buy the land upon which the orchard is planted; he works hard to earn the money with which to buy the young trees; he works hard fo set out the trees and cultivate the orchard: therefore the orchard and the fruit of it are his property, and he has a right to drive away all thieves. If men or children steal the fruit, he has a right to appeal to the law and have them fined or imprisoned. If worms come and injure the tree by eating up the foliage, he has a right to keep them out if he can. The leaves are neces- sary to the tree, for if they are destroyed the tree cannot get the air it needs to keep it vigorous and enable it to mature its fruit. We have seen that these caterpillars destroy the leaves, and thus do great injury to the apple crop. We therefore have a right to destroy these little robbers, as that is the only way we can keep them out of our orchards.” How may they be destroyed ? The egg masses may be collected in winter and early spring from young orchards, and be burned. In old, large trees we must wait until later. Ask the pupils the following questions: At what times did we find the worms in their tents? Avs. Early morning, late afternoons, and during cold, dark days. If we should destroy the tents in the middle of a warm, 46 sunny day, what would happen? Axzs. The caterpillars, being out feeding on the leaves, would not be hurt, and as soon as they came back would make another tent. If the tent is destroyed in the early morning or late afternoon or on a cold, dark day, what would happen? Net Aug. 12, 1896. The paper on which this label is written should be slipped upon the pin with which the butterfly is pinned and placed just below the insect. Labels should be as small as possible and neatly cut. INSECT BOXES. For the beginner nothing is more convenient than an empty cigar box, which may be obtained at any store where cigars are sold. (Fig. 4.) The bottom of the box should be covered with Fic. 4. A convenient box for the use of the young collector. =f] some soft, firm material into which pins may be pushed without -bending them. There are many such materials. Sheet cork or pressed peat may be obtained of dealers in entomological sup- plies. Some ingenious boys use regular bottle corks cut into cross sections about 4% inch thick. Others take the pith of dried corn- stalks divided in half lengthwise. The cheapest and most | easily procurable of the purchasable materials is cork linoleum. This is for sale in most carpet stores. Get the quality that is about { inch thick which costs about $1 per yard; put it into the box cork-side up. Any of these materials may be fastened to the bottom of the box with glue or with tacks. In all cases they should be covered neatly with white paper for the insects appear better against a white background. For permanent collections the wooden boxes with glass tops are much safer; and as the insects may be seen through the glass these boxes are more practical for school collections. This kind of a box is shown inFig. 5. Its sides are 18 by 16 inches and its Fic. 5. height is three inches outside measure. The upper edge of the sides of the bottom of the box is made with a tongue which fits into a groove made in the lower edge of the sides of the cover. This is done so that the top and bottom parts of the box shall fit very closely together in order that museum pests cannot get in and destroy the specimens. Fig. 6 shows a cross-section through one side of the box, show- ing how it should be made and giving measurements. In the drawing the glass is fitted into a groove in the inner side of the cover. This glass might be puttied in like a window pane if it is found difficult to make the groove. The corners of the box may be mitred and dove-tailed or mitred and nailed; the latter is 60 more easily done. Any carpenter or cabinet maker can make this box; but great care must be taken to use only thoroughly seasoned wood in its construction. Otherwise the bottom will be sure to warp and shrink and leave cracks through which the museum pests will enter. K& The cost of such a box will vary from $0.75 to $1. Basswood should be used in the construc- tion; pine is not at all suitable on account of the resin in it. Screw eyes may be put into these boxes and they may be hung on the walls of schoolroom like pictures. ger Slass 1%" MUSEUM PESTS. These are small beetles which find their way Se.

The teacher or parent should put these substances into the boxes as the first is a poison and the latter is very inflammable. As a method of preventing the beetles from attacking the collection it is well to fasten a ‘‘moth ball” into one corner of the box. These may be obtained at a drug store. SPREADING BOARD.—FIG. 7. Butterflies and moths look much better in a collection when their wings are extended at rightangles to the length of the body. To arrange them thus we have to use what is termed a spread- ing-board. Materials needed for a medium sized spreading-board, 1. Two strips of pine or other soft wood 18 inches long, 1% inches wide and ¥% inch thick. Sy S MWA ONAN it HG Fic. 7. A spreading board, and this completes it. 61 2. One strip of wood 18 inches long, 3% inches wide and ¥% inch thick. 3. Two cleats 3% inches wide, 34 inch high and ¥% inch thick; and two cleats one inch wide and as high and thick as the others. 4. A strip of cork or linoleum 17 inches long and a little less than an inch wide. To construct the spreading board take the two narrow strips of wood, place them one-fourth inch apart and on the under side fasten them across the ends to the longer cleats. Then on the same side as the cleats tack the piece of cloth or linoleum over the space between the strips of board, and as the cleats are one-half inch wide the linoleum should cover all the space left. Then midway the boards fasten the two smaller cleats. Fig. 8 shows a cross-section of the spreading board just in front of these two middle cleats. Now it is ready for the bottom board which will fit exactly if directions are followed, The space between the two upper boards is wide enough to take in the body of the moth or but- terfly. The cork or linoleum below the space will hold firmly the pin on which the butterfly is impaled. The ‘cleats hold the top and bottom boards apart and so protect the points of the pins. Fic, 8. A cross-section of spreading board in front of the cleat “d”’ in Fig. 7. 62 Spreading boards may be made much smaller or much larger to suit moths of different sizes; the space between the top boards must always be large enough to admit the body of the insect. To use the spreading board: insert the pin with the butterfly on it into the linoleum just far enough so that the body of insect will be in the space between the boards up to the wings, Fig. 8. Place the wings out flat on the board and fasten them there with narrow strips of paper pinned across them, Fig. 7, a. While held down by these strips of paper arrange them so that the hind margins of the front wings shall cover the front margins of the hind wings and shall be in a line at right angles to the body; then pin larger pieces of paper over the rest of the wings, Fig. 7, 6. Sometimes isinglass is used instead of paper to hold the wings down, Fig. 7, c. The insects should be left on the spreading board at least three days; and when the board has insects on it, it should be kept in a box where the museum pests and mice cannot get at it. Sometimes when the moths are not spread soon after being killed they become so stiff that the wings cannot be moved without breaking them. In such cases the insects should be put on some paper in a jar which has some wet sand in the bottom and which can be covered tightly. The air in such a can is so moist that in two or three days the insect will become limber and may be spread with ease. AN AQUARIUM. FIG. 9. An aquarium with living, moving insects in it isa very interesting orna- ment for the window-sill of a school- room. A glass candy jar or even a butter jar may be transformed into such an aquarium thus: first, put into the jar a layer of sand about two inches deep; in this sand plant some small water weeds and then add a layer of gravel or pebbles; then nearly fill zee the jar with rain water, pouring it in Fic. 9. An aquarium. carefully so asnottodisturb the plants. 63 The plants will keep the water in a right condition for the water insects to live in; more water should be added from time to time to replace that which evaporates. In such an aquarium place any insects found in water and watch their habits. WHERE TO COLLECT INSECTS. The border of a piece of woods where many shrubs and weeds are growing is an especially good place for collecting many kinds of insects. Any place where there is a great variety of plants and flowers will give a variety of insects. Banks of streams and underneath stones in the fields are good places for collecting. WHEN TO COLLECT INSECTS. The best time of the year is during the summer months. The best times of day is in the forenoon after eight o’clock ; and in the twilight at evening. At night many moths may be caught by making a paste of sugar and water (unrefined sugar is best) and painting it upon tree trunks with a brush after sunset. The paste should cover a space two inches wide and several inches long. After dark seek these places cautiously with a lantern and moths will be found sucking the paste: these may be caught with the killing bottle if you move carefully so as not to frighten them; they do not seem to mind the light of the lantern. Electric street-lights attract many insects which may be caught in the net. A lamp set in an open window is also a very good lure on warm nights in the spring and summer. ARRANGING THE INSECTS IN BOXES. After collecting insects comes the desire to arrange them properly; putting together in neat rows those that resemble each other. To classify insects correctly requires much study. The scope of this leaflet admits of only a few suggestions about the most common insects. Dragon Flies.—There are many kinds of these but they ail have four wings, finely netted and transparent, the hind wings being as large or larger than the front wings. These are per- fectly harmless insects. 64 Grasshoppers, Crickets and Katydids.—These are known to all, Fig. to. There are two families of -~ grasshoppers; those with ™ long horns or antennz and i those with short antenne. Katydids, crickets, cock- roaches and walking-sticks are near relatives to the 6 grasshoppers. Z AN — = en i Noost ———_— —_ — ——_—_ == —_ S-_ Fic. 10. a, Cricket. 6, Grasshopper. Bugs.—These insects have the front pair of wings thick and heavy at the base and thin and transparent at the tips, Fig. 11, 6.

Some flies resemble bees and wasps but if exam- ined it will be found that they have only two wings instead of four. Butterflies and Moths.— Butterflies and moths may be told apart by the following character: The antennz or horns of the butterflies are always threadlike and knobbed at the tip, Figs, 15, 16, while the antennz of moths are in various shapes, but never bear knobs at the tips, Figs. 17, 18, 19, 20.
