Illinois horticultural Convention.
lFrOm Farmers ReYieW.D

The fourteenth annual convention OF
the Illinois Horticultural society was
held at Kankakee recently.
In reviewing the fruit lists for
Illinois n discussion arose on the pro-
lection of fruit trees from rodents. Va
rious methods were advocated, among
them being fish oil and axle grease.
There was, however, danger OF using
these too much, especially on young
trees. Instances were given where
such treatment had resulted in the
death Of the trees. Trees ten years old
would not be harmed by the treat
ment. An apple grower said he knew
Of an orchard of 1000 young trees that
had been killed by using too much oil.
Mr.. Williams had been using for
twelve years a paint made of soap, tar,
sulphur and lime. He put 1t on the
trees with a common paint brush. II
makes a thorough glaze and will destroy
every insect. He believes also that this
paint has the tendency to protect from
sun-scald. The little lime in it, when
the dry weather comes, turns the mass
to a grayish color that throws off the
rays Of the sun and thus keeps the bark
of the tree from cracking.
One man that had tried tarred paper
thought there was great danger from
using this, as 1t q not taken off early
enough in the spring, in which case
the tar from the paper works into the
tree. He had tried paper made. out
Of felt, and untarred. and found this

off early enough in the season. lie now

had tried this now for three years.
