CATTLE DYING ON
MCDOWELL RANCH

Commissioner Mcdowell was In
Amarillo yesterday from his ranch
across the Canadian river. and stated
that quite a number OF his COWS have
died during the past few days. de-
spite the fact that he has fed during
the entire period of the extreme cold.
Mr.. Mcdowell believes that Il the
weather maintains the present ten
dency to warmer. that cattle will re-
gain somewhat OF the flesh and
strength lost during the cold He
states that few cattle have persisted
from poverty" but in practically
every instance so far as his own herd
is concerned. cold has been the direct
cause OF losses.
Conditions described by MIR. Me-
Dowell are largely those OF this en-
tire section. and cattlemen are most
active IN their efforts TO meet as best
they can. conditions that SAVIOR OF

never succeeded in doing so in my
ordinary fruit room. The grapes must
not be placed in piles in baskets or
boxes. With me they do the best in

Some people cut off portions OF the
vine with clusters on ii and place the
ends of the vine in a bottle of water
and report good results in keeping the
grapes plump and fresh. Others in

FLOWING DEEP FOR ORCHARD
Ii Is Of Utmost Importance to Exam
Inc Shoots of Young Trees for
Harmful Little Borer.

In planting a peach orchard the
ground should be plowed deep. fol-
lowed with sub-soil pillow in the same
furrow, the deeper the ground is bro
ken up the better. Before planting.
1t is Of the utmost Importance to ex-
anime the shoots OF the young trees
for the borer Generally nurserymen
send out peach trees without taking
out the borer. A tree planted with a
borer in 1t Is sure to die In a few
years. very often in It's third year aft
or planting. 1t puts the beginner in
the uncertainty TO know what is the
cause OF the death OF his trees. They
often look as IL they were suffering
with the yellows. while It is the borer
killing the tree. Two years ago we
had three trees that TO all appearance
had the true yellows. When taking
borers In the crotch OF the roots where
It was impossible to see any signs OF
a borer.
The trees should be examined every
spring and fall. and the borer taken
out with the knife.
A peach orchard should be started
low. The young trees should be cut
back when planted from 10 TO "a
inches with not side branch on
them. They will put out side branches
and make n low. bushy tree for five
or six years. After that. they become
large and high. bearing fruit almost
from the ground to the top OF the
tree. For the first three years. the
new wood should be cut back from
third to one.half After that IL re.
qulres not so much cutting back. Only
where n leading branch takes posses
sion OF the entire growth such a lead
or should be cut back on level with
the head OF the tree. All the dead
wood should be taken out after each
crop.

Borers in Young Trees.

the tree, sometimes, especially in the
case of young trees, almost entirely
girdling them, thus running the trees.
The methods of fighting both round
and fiat headed borers are much the
same. Two or three methods are
available for making the control Of
borers more easy. In case of older
trees, probably the most important
method is by mounding, that is heap
ing up a little mound of earth a0ound
the base of the tree. This forces the
insect to deposit It's eggs higher on the
tree so that the worm will be located
higher. It Is much easier to level
this mound of earth down around the
tree to find the borer than to have to
dig away the soil when it is left level.
However, mounding NAV not be prac-
ticable in very stony land. In case Of
younger trees. the best method is to
wrap them with Il wood veneer wrap
per. And mound very small amount
OF earth around these wrappers. This
makes 1t very difficult for the parent
of the borer TO get its eggs deposited
in the trunk Of the tree. In sections
where the borers are rather numer-
Gus. while this practice OF wrapping
should be followed, IL should not be
wholly depended upon. but the exam
lining for the borer should also DO
done. If the wooden wrappers
are used it may be necessary to spray
inside Of them with kerosene emulsion
or lime-sulphur for the woolly aphis
