IMPORTANT TO Peach GROWERS
The author of Ten Acres Enough"
who is an experienced horticultutist, gives
what lie found TO be sure preventative
of the borer in peach trees. He first ex-
perimented with ten cid peach trees that
were nearly destroyed by the borer. He
barred the roots of trees, and carefully re-
moved all the worms he could find, then
washed the roots with soap suds, and left
uncovered n week, to make sure work Of
any worms that might have escaped his
notice. He then applied tar to the dis
eased parts and TO tho trunk of the tree
two or three inches above ground. The
trees recovered their original vigor and
have been fruitful bearers ever since. Tar
applied TO youhg trees near tho surface OF
the ground will efiectually prevent the Dor
ots from molestiug them. Coal tar an
swers the saVe purpose. Care must be
taken not to cover more than couple Of
inches above ground.
