TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
1.-The Peach-tree Borer.

Editors Progressive Farmer
This insect destroys many peach and plum
trees in North Carolina every year, and is one
of the very worst pests of the peach tree. 1t is
this insect which causes the gum to appear at the
base of infested trees, and any tree thus affected
should be attended to without delay, as this is
the proper season for worming the trees.
The adult, parent insect is Emoth" or 'miler'
which very much resembles wasp in general ap-
pearance. The female moth is of a steel-blue
color with conspicuous orange-yellow band
about the body behind the wings, and has the
hind pair of wings transparent. The male is of
grayish color marked with lighter yellow but with
out the distinct band about the body, and has
both front and hind wings transparent. The
moths appear most numerousy y during late August
and September and after mating, the females de-
posit the eggs the bark at the base OF the
trees. The moths may often be seen flying about
the trees during early September. They fly swift
ly, keeping close to the ground that they can
hardly be distinguished from wasps except by
very close observation.
The eggs hatch into small, stout t-boded cater
pillars which bore in under the bark and eat out
the sapwood. Here they remain all winter grow
ing slowly and attain full growth during June
July and August, when they emerge from the
the tree and just under the surface of the
ground. These cocoons may be easily found dur
ing the summer.
IF the borers completely girdle the tree it will
die just as certainly as if girdled with an axe,
and when they not absolutely fatal the
tree becomes so weakened that it is impossible
for it to mature crop of fruit. Within the past
week we have seen many hundred of trees in the
peach growing section of Southern Pines in Moore
County which had been killed and this pest was
the most active agent in causing the destruction.
THE REMEDY
The remedy for this pest is to dig out the borers
with knife and kill them This is a slow and
tedious process, but there is no other way so good
But it has the advantage that the longer one
keeps up the practice of 'wormng' his orchard
the less likely he is to lose trees by the borer If
your peach plum trees affected by this pest
we would advise you observe closely the follow
ing directions:
Worm the trees at once, without delay. To do
this to best advantage scrape away the earth with
a hoe at the base of each tree to a depth of two
to four inches. Now go over the trees carefully
with stout knife cutting away the thickened
gum and injured bark to get the burrows of the
borers. Every borer found should be killed. 1t is
we'll to take along slender wire that those
which are out of reach of the knife may be probed.
Do the work thoroughly. Do not be afraid to cut

FERTILIZERS: POTASH AND THE MATERIALS
SUPPLYING 1T.

Potash as spoken of In connection with fertll-
izers is made up of the elements oxygen Gone of
the gases of the air) and potassium which is
soft white substance. 1t floats upon and acts on
water so vigorously that fire is produced, the sub
stance thus formed being that kind of cOncen-
trated I've that is used III making soft soap. Even
potash potassium and Oxygen) is active that
it could not be handled and used fertilizer.
II mit,S itself with great vigOr to such acids as
lphuric. to form sulphate of potash-murlatlc
acid to form muriate of potash-and carbonic
acid, to form carbonate of potash. These last
three substances-sulphate of potash, muriate of
potash, and carbonate of pOtash-wth the impu-
rites accompanying them. the main materi
ais used for supplying potash to plants, either as
potash alone or in mixed fertilizers. They all
readily soluble in water and are thus available
for plant food
The chief source of potash materials is the
Stassfurt mines in Germany, where they
in great abundance and variety. Those used for
fertilizer purposes are:
Kainit is a crude product of the mines and
contains, in addition to about 124 per cent of
potash (24S pounds to the ton) about 81 per cent
of common salt The rest of it is made up
mainly of magnesium sulphate and chloride. The
the large quantities of common salt and mag
nesum chloride it contains gives it advantage
over the muriate of potash.
MURIAIE OF POTASH.
Muriate of potash is purified product of the
potash mines, and is one of the richest of the
materials supplying potash. 1t contains about
80 per cent of potash GOOO pounds to the ton),
the other SO per cent being mainly the element
chloride.
sULPHATE POTASH.
Sulphate of potash contains 49 80 81 per cent
of potash (about 1000 pounds to the ton), which
is in the form of sulphate, and it possesses special
advantages for such crops tobacco Irish pota
toes and some others.
sULPHATE POTASH MAGNEsIA.
Sulphate of potash magnesia, also called Glow
grade" sulphate of potash, contains 26 to % per
cent of potash (about $40 pounds to the TOM the
balance of it being mainly sulphate of magnesia
and small amount of common salt.
TOBACCO STEMS.
Tobacco stems and other-refuse products of the
tobacco plant are to be had in considerable guam
titles in the tobacco growing and manufacturing
districts. They are quite variable in composition
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-03-15

and contain from to per cent of nitrogen, 3
to per cent of potash and ~ to per cent of
insoluble phosphoric acid. Nearly all the potash
in tobacco stems is soluble in water and is there
fore readily available to plants. Tobacco stems
are serviceable also in preventing diminishing
insect ravages and fungous diseases.
WOOD ASHES
Wood ashes are valuable chiefly for the potash
they contain, which varies in unleached ashes
from to per cent, being more in the hard wood
ashes like oak and hickory, and less in the soft
woods pine, etc. AS the potash in ashes is very
soluble in water, exposure to rain or to teaching
results in the removal of the potash, so that
leached ashes have but little value beyond the
lime they contain In addition to the potash,
ashes contain 80 to 40 per cent of lime, which has
a beneficial physical effect on the soil The potash
in wood ashes is of the most desirable forms
and is suitable for all crops.
AS far as experiments have gone the results are
to the effect that pound of actual potash in
any of the above materials is of practically equal
value so far as increasing growth in plants is
concerned. In other words, four tons Of kainit,
which contain about thousand pounds of
potash, will be required to produce the same
amount of growth in crops ton of muriate
of potash carrying one thousand pounds of potash.
Where the four tons of kanit costs the same
the ton of muriate, by the of the latter
freight, hauling and handling of three tons of
material is saved For general crops, then, that
source of potash should be selected which will
furnish the potash for the least money. There
some important executions to this rule. For
cotton on land that is subject to rust it is bet
ter to use kainit, as this material has tendency
to reduce, and in some cases, to entirely prevent
rust High grade sulphate of potash is the bet
ter source of this material for tobacco as the
chlorides in the muriate of potash and kainit in
jure the burning pality of tobacco High grade
suphate gives better quality of tobacco that the
other materials, though it has no advantages over
tobacco stems and wood ashes as a source of pot
ash for this crop.
In like manner a good many experiments have
shown that sulphate of potash produces smooth
er and frmer Irish potato than kainit or muriate,
though the latter materials, where equal amounts
of potash used will give just as much in the
way of yield. B. w. KILGORE.
