PRESERVE THE PEACH TREES
May Not Yet Be Too Late for Effec-
tive Warfare Against the Borer-
Its Habits.

The borer pest kills peach trees III
the city lot oftener than anywhere
else because the town man as rule
knows nothing Of grief ahead until
the tree is ready to topple over in a
wind, rotten at the ground. Washes
and wrappers have been devised to
control the peach tree borer, but
Leonard Haseman of the Missouri ag-
ricultural college says the best way
is to swat 1t with your hand. The
best time, he says, is some time this
fall, good point to keep In the mem
DRY.
The gum on the peach tree down
near the ground Is an unmistakable
warning that the borer Is getting
busy. Mr.. Haseman says the search
er can easily detect the presence of
the borer as a rule by the masses Of
peach gum just at the surface Of the
ground. The borer has tunneled
through the bark and has commenced
to feed upon the live bark and sap
wood. Sap flows through the hole In
the bark, and coagulates in the air,
forming the so-called peach gum.
The remedy almost suggests itself.
Dig away the masses of gum and find
the entrance to the tunnel Follow
the tunnel with as little damage to
the tree as possible and smash the
borer on sight. 1t is a small, milky
white, grub-like caterpillar. Most of
them are about half an inch in length
in the fall, being less than half-grown
when winter sets in.
The peach tree borer in the adult
stage is moth. The moth appears
from early July to the middle of Au-
gust and closely resembles wasp,
having clear wings and yellow and
black bands about the body. The moth
hunts up a peach tree and deposits
eggs about the base. The young Dor
er or caterpillars soon develop and at
once begin to tunnel into the bark
and wood of the tree. Here they feed
and grow On small trees often a.
single borer will completely girdle
trunk If not put out of business before
1t natures, Often dozens or more
will attack larger tree.
The borers continue their tunneling
all fall. Then they go below the sur
face Of the ground to establish them
selves for the winter. ,,

BENEFIT OF UNITED ACTION
Central Organizations Can Do Much
to uPbuild Any Town or
Community.

There seems to be strong need for
central organizations where delegates
for the various municipalities may
meet and by comparison of notes de-
termine where mistakes have been
made and the proper method of pro-
cedure, says the Los Angeles Times.
These meetings also stimulate actiy-
ity where Indifference or municipal
lethargy are responsible for lack of
progress. In many eastern states
great good has been accomplished
through state declarations.
New Jersey was the first state in
the Union to enact a model shade-tree
law. By the act Of 1898, it provided
for the planting and care of shade
trees on the highways of the munich
palities of the state. While the in
crease in the number of shade-tree
commissions during the last few years
has shown the growth of interest in
the subject, the actual results accom-
pllshed by the shade-tree commissions
have not been uniformly successful
The various tree boards have been
working in an Independent way. and
so the maximumS results for the good
of the state have not been secured,
1t had been felt for some time that
there ought to be some coordination
OF interests among the various tree
commissions in order that the ade-
quacy of present laws might be stu.
died, the general questions of policy
considered, and help extended to new.
Informed shade-tree commissions, and
efforts made to extend the movement
for the planting and preservation of
shade trees in the state. New JERSEY
now has very effective shade-tree
federation.
