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 In
the city lot oftener than anywhere
else because the town man as a 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 swa it with your hand. The
best time. he says, is some time this
fall, a good point to keep in the mem
DRY.
The gum on the peach tree down
near the ground Is ar u~nmistakable
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 OF sight. 1t is a small, milky
white, grublike 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 a moth. The moth appears
from early July to the middle of Au-
gust and closely resembles a 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 c%aterpillars 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 a
trunk If not put out of business before
1t natures. Often dozens or more
will attack a 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 UpbuiId Any Town or
Community.

There seems to be strong need for
central organizations where delegates
Tor 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 1893, 1t provided
for the planting and art of shade
trees on the highways of the munich
palities of the state. While the in
e in the number of shade-tree
commissions during the last few years
has shown the growth of interest in
the subject, the actual results c
plished by the shade-tree commissions
have not been uniformly successful.
The various tree boards have been
working In an independent way, and
so the maximum 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 a very effective shade-tree
federation.

How to Care for Trees

With trees, as with all other living
things both animate and inanimate. II
is far easier to form than to reform.
"As the twig is bent so the tree in
clines" is all of truth and none of err
ror. Too little attention is paid to the
training of street trees. Before the
winter season sets in they should be
deprived of top heaviness SO that when
the soil becomes softened by winter
rains the excessive top will not catch
enough wind to blow the trees over.
O~ver-heavy tops that receive the full
force of the winds are apt to be torn
or suffer serious splits, aside from the
danger of blowing over, and all these
evils may be visited upon a single
tree.

ADVENTURE.

longed for wild adventure. MY
life's too flat" said. My next doc
neighbor heard me and kindly
punched my head. My eyes are
black and swollen, a lump is on my
brow At first l felt resentful, but
l am not angry now. I'm setting in
the cleaning, poultice on my face,
and now l bless my neighbor who
punched with skill and grace. For
l have lost the yearning for war and
deadly strife, and l am quite con-
tented to lead the simple life. We
read of knights and barons who
rode on prancing steeds and rescued
weeping maidens and did all kinds
deeds; we read about their joust-
ing with ringing battle cries, but not
about the beefsteak upon their black
ened eyes. We read of lion slayers
who do heroic stunts and all about
the trophies they bring back from
their hunts; but on their shining
pages no gifted hunter writes about
his weird adventures with ant and
chigger bites. We read of brave
Horatius and how he whipped
crowd; but when, a mass of bruises,
he wept and groaned aloud, when
busy Roman matrons put plasters on
his neck, there was no poet handy
to sing about the wreck. I'm cured
of all my signing for brave and
knightly deeds; I'd rather sit in
comfort and smoke my two-for
weed.

NARCOTIC LAW
IS VERY STRICT

The narcotic law recently passed
by the legislature is one of the
strictest imaginable to prevent the
sale OF opium, cocaine and other mar
cotics. Many people have become
slaves to the drug habit by having
prescriptions filled time and time
again that contained certain marco
tics. 1t was given by the doctor in
the first case as a medicine, but on
account of the soothing effects the
person continued to use the drug
and continued to have the prescrip-
ton filled again as often as desired
at the drug store. This law will pre-
vent such prescription being filled
more than once. The persons dis
pensing the drug must keep a re-
cord thereof and together with the
name and address of the recipient
1t is unlawful for any person to sell
Or dispose of any narcotic except
upon the signed prescription of a
licensed physician or veterinarian.
1t is unlawful for any physician to
sell or give or prescribe any mar
cotic except to patient believed to
be in good faith to require the
same for medical use, and in guam
titles proportionate to the needs
Of such patient. Penalties are pro-
vided for from $50 to $500 fines, or
by imprisonment for period of
from 60 to 100 days, Or both such
fine and Imprisonment.
