clearly that the time to use the chol-

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 headedN 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 n1ost important method is by mounding, that is heap ing up little mound of earth around 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' may not be prac- ticable in very stony land. In ease Of younger trees, the best method is to wrap them with Q wood veneer wrap per. And mound very small amount of earth around these wrappers. This makes it very difficult for the parent of the borer to get it's eggs deposited in the trunk Of the tree. In sections where the borers are rather numer- ous, while this practice of wrapping should be followed, it should not be wholly depended upon, but the exam ming for the borer should also be done. II the wooden wrappers are used it may be necessary to spray inside of them with kerosene emulsion or lime-sulphur for the woolly aphis are apt to accumulate there.

The borer is one of the most seri- ous pests orchardists have to contend with We have both the round-head- ed borer in which case the worm or larva is in the wood during parts of three seasons and the flat-headed borer which lives in the trunk of the tree only one season.
