AN exchange counsels its readers to EN-
ploy their leisure moments during this month
and the next in making raids npon the
worms and other pests that are the death of
the fruit. A large per cent of these plaques
in the larva form lie hidden under the surface
Of the ground Immediately around the roots
of the tree. Turn the ground over with .
spade and expose the unconscious foes Of
your fruit crop, to the cold to perish or ex.
terminate them ri ct armts. That's borrowed
counsel; hence We give it literally to our cit
liens whose fruit add ornamental trees add SO
much to the good appearance of our city.
