DON'T CODDLE WITH
 THE COOLING MOTHS
It Destroys Apples Eats Hole in
 Your Purse Is Easy to Control

Have you an apple orchard?
 Do you want that orchard to pro duce every apple it is capable of pro ducing under normal conditions?
 Do you want healthy tree and a healthy fully developed apple?
 If you do, and it is natural to pre- sme that you do, go out naw and look for loosened scales of bark on the apple tree and scrape them off. If You find small worms or larva of cod ling moth, kill them at once and your apple tree will produce at least one half bushel more of apple this year. Each adult moth lays from 30 to 75 eggs all of which hatch.
 Also examine your peach trees about this time and see if the borers are present. This can be determined by removing the dirt around the base of the tree to the depth of four or five Inches. With a long bladed knife scrape a portion of the tree thus un- covered. If the worms are present You can find them in this way.
 When the worms are removed and Killed the soil should be replaced and slightly hilled so that next year the adult moth will be forced to deposit ' sher eggs higher on the tree thus mak- Ing them easier to locate and destroy
