HARM BY APPLE TREE BORER

The f1at-head borer is a very de-

innate that so per cent of healthy and

larvae of these small, active, copper
colored beetles. Young trees of al

tanning oak, which seems to be the
favorite host, and from which the
borers breed out in large numbers.
After these larvae have gained en-
trance to the tree, no external sprays
or applications are satisfactory, and
the only course of treatment is per-
sonal attention to each infested tree.
Preventive methods are more sue

VRCTIARD
GLEANINGS
GOOD FILLING BY EXPLOSION
Experiments Have Proved That Young
Trees Grow More Rapidly and
Vigorously by This Method.

It begins to look as If cultivation Of
the soil by explosion is to be one OF
the recognized methods of farming in
the future, just as locomotion by ex-
plosion is already one of the principal
means of getting carried about.
In other words, the explosive plow''
will become as familiar as the OK.
plosive engine.
An English authority on high ex-
plosives, w. Macnab, points out that
this new method of cultivation Is es-
pecially beneficial to orchards. Instead
Of digging hole with the spade in
which to plant a young tree, an exca-
walton is made in an instant by ex-
ploding a cartridge. The size of the
cartridge and the depth at which 1t
is placed depend upon the circum'
stances of the case But whether a
large or small hole is blown, the
beneficial effects of the explosion are
in the complete shaking up and fissur-
ing of the soil.
This extends far beyond the edges
of the excavation, and below its bot
tom, SO that fresh supplies Of chemi-
cal food are brought within reach of
the roots Of the tree.
Experiments have proved that young
trees planted in ground prepared by
explosion grew much more rapidly and
vigorously than others planted in the
usual way, and begin to bear fruit
sooner.
Old exhausted orchards may be re-
invigorated by the use of explosives.
In some cases small cartridges are ex-
ploded under the roots of the trees,
and in other cases larger cartridges,
buried three or more feet deep, are
exploded midway between trees stand
ing Is feet apart. The result is to
loosen the soil without injuring the
trees.

HE'S A BLACKFOOTER

d. o. Pratt appeared before Pro-
bate Judge Bell recently with two
young children and requested permits
sion to have them placed in private
homes in Blackfoot in preference to
having them sent to the Children
Home in Boise The request was
granted but it appears that instead
of doing SO, the father appeared on
the streets yesterday afternoon under
the influence of liquor and it is stated
that they were not being given the
proper treatment. AS soon as they
can be located they will be committed
to the Children's Home and the pro-
bate judge states he will take no
more chances with promises. Some
time ago Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt separat-
ed and by their own request desire
that their children be properly cared
for.-Pocatello Tribune.
