THE PEACH TWIG BORER.
(By Prof. c. B. Piper.)

This insect Injuries the peach in two very
different ways, namely: by burrowing into
the fruit, making the so-called 'wormy"
peaches, and by boring into the twigs which
it frequently kills The insect is usually
noted in gathering the later varieties of
peaches, the earlier ones being quite exempt,
as a rule The worm enters at the stem end
and usually bores out large chamber,
which becomes filled with gum and excre-
ment Frequently the stone splits as the
rows only through the flesh, making irregu
lar tunnels Whether the seed is attacked
or not seems to depend on how far the stone
has hardened when attacked. The larva is
pinkish or dirty brown in color, about one
half an inch long. Sometimes it changes
into pupa inside the split stone, but usu-
ally it crawls to the surface and pupates
near the stem of the fruit.
The adult is small dark grey moth,
marked on the fore wings with few dark
spots and streaks Both pairs of wings
are bordered with paler fringe. These
adults issue in August and later, and lay
their eggs in or near the crotches of the
branches. When the eggs hatch, the young
burrow into the bark in the crotch and feed
on the soft, spongy bark until the succeed
ing spring. Their presence during the win
ter is disclosed by the fine brownish castings
which are thrown out and become heaped
up at the entrances to the burrows. ust
as the leaves are developing in the spring
they leave their winter quarters, and for
short time feed on the tender shoots. They
bind the young leaves together loosely with

TREATMENT OF ORCHARD TREES.
(By Prof. G. b. Plrer.)

shall | spray my orchard WITH" OF course,
it all depends on what one is spraying for,
but inasmuch as conditions are so similar
all over Western Washington as respects
pests, general answer to the question can
be given.
What are the chief enemies of orchard
trees in the coast region? Blackspot canker,
scab and woolly aphis of the apple; scab of
the pear, brown rot of the plum and cherry.
To these might be added plant lice or
aphides, which cause some damage to all
orchard trees and moss" which on neglect
ed trees tends to harbor insects and spores.
1t will be noticed that of the five most
serious pests, four of them are fungus dis
cases. In the control of all of these, Bor
deaux mixture has proven most effective.
For the b1ackspot canker, two sprayings of
Bordeaux, the first November I or, better,
a week or two earlier, followed by second
application four weeks after the first will
prevent the disease very largely. For apple
scab and pear scab, Bordeaux should be APP
piled Just after the leaf buds open in spring
and second time just after the fruit sets.
For brown rot, spraying of Bordeaux just
before the buds open is helpful. 1t IS more
important, however, with this disease to
gather up and burn all the mummihed fruits
on which the fungus passes the winter An
incidental effect of Bordeaux sprayed on any
tree is that it kills most effectively
From all of this it is clear that Bordeaux
mixture is the most important spray tor
Western Washington orchards. 1t must be
borne in mind that this pray is largely pre-
ventive in it's effect not curative at all Its
use is to prevent fungus diseases from at
lacking plants, but some insects, like the
cutworms, flea beetles and the cherry slug,
will not eat leaves covered with this spray.
For the woolly aphis of the apple, the
black cherry aphis the plum aphis, the apple
green aphis, and all other plant lice, kerosene
emulsion or wha1e-oil and quassia are effec-
tive. The best time to attack these insects
is Immediately after they appear. Don't
wait until they multiply and make the
leaves curl, for then the spray can't reach
them. The woolly aphis is the worst insect
of the lot and the hardest to control Kero-
sene emulsion is best for this insect it
penetrates the cracks and gals better than
whale oil soap
The other species of aphides do more ap-
parent damage than real damage as rule,
but young trees are sometimes much in
iured or even killed by them. In any case
it pays to give them attention promptly.
Of course there are other orchard enemies
in Western Washington than those above
enumerated but these are the most import
ant The general use of Bordeaux mixture
will go long way towards lessening the
injury the worst pests-the fungus diseases
cause.
Bordeaux mixture is made of bluestone,
6 pounds good lime, pounds, water, 50
gallons

Horticultural Notes

NUMBER OF 1ru1l growers OF Indl vicinity.
There was conference with reference to
the ravages of the codling moth. Prof
Piper sought to draw out the growers as
to their experience with this insect. Some
things were amusing Some thought
chickens valuable adjunct in the orchard
and gave their experience accordingly,
while others testified to the very opposite.
Some thought ten and twelve sprayings
were necessary to a successful combating of
this insect others thought four or five were
sufficient. One man thought spraying with
water is quite effeCtual, if sprayed with
force, claiming that the eggs are mashed off
in that way No one seemed to agree with
him. The professor asked all who knew that
they had actually seen the COdllng moth to
hold up their hands. Out of forty or fifty
present only four or five hands were shown.
All of which goes to show that the ordi
nary fruit grower knows but little about this
pest One thing all do know, however and
that is that the arva of this small fly ruins
very many apples.
Prof Piper made many valuable sugges-
tons The question was asked at the con-
clusion of the conference if it was deemed
advisable to carry out systematic lnvesti-
cation of the habits of this insect in the Yak
ina valley if the funds could be spared to
carry on this work The vote in favor of
such move was unanimous
Prof Piper visited Zllaf and remained
over night with the writer of these notes.
Some of the fruit growers of the neighbour
hood called to see him. They called to seek
his advice relative to some diseased trees.
The trees shown him were affected with
crown gall. In fact two or three kinds OF
root gall were shown. The root gals are to
be found in many of the orchards to great
er or less extent and do considerable dam
age. The trees thus attacked cease to grow.
They may bear fruit even good fruit, but
the tree remains stationary in size and ulti
mately dies. There seems to be no cure for
this disease Great care should be exercised
by nursery men in sending out stock clean
from this form of disease. 1t seems not to
spread from one tree to another in the or
chard or very slowly. A tree affected with
mould had better be dug up and burned. If
nursery stock is affected, it would be well
not to set the trees at all,

other varieties grow near his Spitzenburgs,

this testimony that the Baldwin is a good
fertilizer of the Spitzenburg. Mr.. Chenaur,
however, said that he would not now plant
that variety, for it is not profitable sort
