is altogether in growing more than
average crops, he will have made a
long start in the direction of being
an up-to-date farmer. We would not
be understood in this to say that the
very largest crops pay the best. A
man cay by the use of commercial
fertilizers produce a much larger
crop the first year than he can with
out them, but in this case the in
crease is generally less than the adj
ditional cost. We are not talking
now about fancy farming, but just
plain, common, every day, good, prac-
teal farming. We may put
work on the crop than we get paid

more work and especially more hard

Look TO Your Apple Trees.

Editor of The PrOgresSzVe Farmer
Every man who has apples trees,
should, between this time and hard
freezing, investigate the bases of the
trunks for borers. There are two
species of this pest, but they work
practically identically and the knife
is the best cure for both, supplement-
ed by a stiff wire puncher, if the
beast has gone into the wood of the
tree. Nc tree is too old or too young
to be rejected by the borer. The fly
lays it's eggs along the first Of June
and the young borer8 can be found
now by close examination. The base
of the tree-usually just at the point
of contact with the gr9dndA@ where
the eggs are generally deposited, and
as soon as Matched the grubs strike
into, the bark and commence eating,
following just under the bark slant
ingwise around the trunk. Some
times there will be a little wad of
brown sawdust, sometimes only a
slight darkening of the bark, with the
sawdust underneath. A knife prick
will disclose the channel made. The
borer is an effective girdler and if
three of them happen to get onto a
two or three-year-old tree, of apple
or ounce and are left to eat for a
season, that tree will be a fit subject
for the brush pile. On the other
hand trees which have been three
fourths girdled by borers, if there
after kept free from them, will grow
and yield for years with apparently
undiminished vigor. Such trees r
always, however, in a p~recarious con-
dition, hanging to life, as it we're, by
a thread.
