HOW TO GET RID OF FRUIT TREE
PESTS.

Fruit tree borers are doing conSid-
cradle damage in some Kansas or
chards and lately the agricultural col
lege has had calls for help. AN m
quiries are being answered by T. ].
Headlee professor Of entomology,
and specific instructions for eradica-
ton given.
Five species of fruit tree borers
are doing injury to orchards in this
state. says Professor Headlee. They
are the shot hole borer, which bores
small holes in trees, making them
look as If they had been the target o
a shotgun; the roundhead apple tree
borer, the flatheaded apple tree borei
the apple twig borer and the peach
tree borer. With the exception of
the peach tree borer, all these spec
les prefer diseased trees. For that
reason the first step twand keeping
trees from borers is to keep them in
the healthieSt possible growing con-
dition by proper pruning, feeding and
cultivation. All infested wood should
be cut out and burned. Generally
that will stop the work of the
shot hole borer and the apple twig
borer. If not, the trees should be
treated with a deterant wash compos
ed of one pint of crude carbolc acid,
one gallon of SOFT soap, and eight gal
hons Of water The trunks and larger
branches should be thoroughly Gov
cred with this wash.
Young apple trees can be protect,
ed from the round and the flat7head-
ed apple tree borers by wrapping
newspaper or tarred paper from a
point just above the roots 10 eigh-
teen inches or two feet above the
ground. The wrappers should be tied
on with string, not with wire. With
proper orchard treatment grown
trees should experience no injury.
"The peach tree borer can best be
contrOlled by digging out. This has
to be done with knife in the spring
The presence of the borer is indi-
Gated by spots of gum which are
thrown out of the, burrow where it
works. 1t is easily dug out, espec-
tally i'm the spring when the leaves
are large and more easily seem

here. In earlier years the supply
posts were at the Walnut Crossing,
seven miles west. The burial of per-

was usually at. Walnut Crossing, but
many bodies were buried near ENin-

Red and Yellow Are Said to Have a

That colors have profound psyche

color red, for instance, is most stimu-

overcome depression and quickening
the intellectual processes. But when
used in any amount 1t tends to over

Bursting Steel.

An experiment that demonstrated the
capacity Of steel to endure greater
pressure than the hardest stone was
made in Germany. Corundum was cho-
sen for the stone, and small cubes of
both substances were placed under
pressure. A weight Of six tons smashed
the corundum, but forty-two tons were
required to crush the steel. When the
steel did give way the effects are de-
scribed as remarkable. With a loud
explosion the metal few into powder,
and its sparks are said to have bored
minute holes in the crushing machine.

OUR BIG NEIGHBoRs.

Although Great Bend got it in the
neck, so far as being mentioned as
Ut deserved to be, generally speaking,
by Walter Williams in his letters, it

Pawnee Rock, two important points
on the Santa Fe trail. Speaking of
getting it in the neck, we don't know
that we blame Williams any. Great

Over the county line, at Ellinwood
In Barton county, DR.. c. W. Speirs,
the mayor, with old timers, located
the Trail route and gave incidents Of
its early history. According to the
SNlinwood story, the first wagons
used ON the trail were in 1924. The
north bank of the Arkansas river, at
the west side of ElinwOod, was the
objective point ON the old Trail from
the Cow creek crossing on account
Of water and fuel. In 1920 there was
already an island at that point, heay-
aly timbered with cottonwood. The
. main channel was then along the
north bank and on the south side of
the river in the bends was quite a
forest with some hardwood trees
The flood of 1874 verged the main
channel away from the north banks
but as late as 1872 the channel north
OF the island was part of the main
channel and so continued until 1888
The greatest flood in recorded times
on the Trail was in 1874, occasioned
by extraordinary supply Of mountain
water in the river and the heaviest
long continued downpours Of rain
ever known in the plains country
In May Of that year all the present
townsite of Ellinwood was buried
many feet under water, except the
knobs on the south half Of the town
site. A Santa Fe freight caravan was
water bound on the hills northwest
Of ENnwood two weeks and obtained
its wood supply by floating it across
the Little Cheyenne creek.
The Santa Fe Trail approached the
north bank Of the river on the west
line Of Ellinwood. Here was one O
the famous camping places on the
Trail. During the fifttes and sixties
