Apple Tree Borer
In Delaware

It has been reported that con-
siderable damage has been done
to the young trees in the apple
growing sections of the State by
the round-headed apple tree borer.
The presence of the borer may be
detected by the retared growth of
the trees, by the yellowing of the
foliage, and by the sawdust-like
castings which the larvae throw
out from the entrance of their
burrows, and often in early spring
by a slight exudation of sap.
The parent beetle is a hand
some insect about three quarters
inch long. The antennae and legs
are gray, the head and under sur
face of the body silvery white, and
the upper surface is light brown
with two longitudinal W h tie
stripes. The beetles emerge from
late May to the middle of July
and the females soon commence
to deposit their eggs. These
hatch in about two or three weeks.
The young larvae tunnel just
under the bark on the sap-wood,
usually working down toward tie
Newark post., 1915-12-29

base of the tree, the bark over
these burrows often cracking the
next spring, and fine castings and
borlngs sitting out. At the begin
ming of the second year the larva
is about five-eighths inch long. It
continues in the sap-wood during
the second season, and then is the
time the most damage is done.
The next season they penetrate
into the heart-wood, and some
times burrow straight through the
three.
One means of control is to pre-
vent the females from laying
their eggs by wrapping the trunks
with wire netting, building paper
or wood veneed. These should be
applied about May 1st and re-
moved in late summer. They
should be tied to the tree tightly
just below the crotch and should
extend an inch or two into the soil
below. Various washes have been
used to repel the beetles. Thick
whale-oil or caustic soft-soap to
which a pint of crude carbolic
acid is added to every 10 gallons
is often used and should be paint
ed over the trunk so as to form
thick coating. Others recommend
thick coating of whitewash to
which little Portland cement has
been added to make it more adhes-
i've. These should be applied by
the middle of May and as often as
need be to keep the trunk cover
ed until late summer.

Mr.. Handy Still In Hospital

When you stick your knife into
YOUR Christmas turkey think of me
slipping my glass of milk" wrote
former Congressman L. Irving
Handy, from the John Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore to Millard F.
Davis, the prominent Wilmington
JeWeler, in a cheerful Christmas
letter. Mr.. Handy is under treat
ment at the Baltimore hospital and
in his letter he wrote very OPTIC
mistically of how he is improving.
The reference in the opening
sentence may be explained by say
ing that Mr.. Handy, in the course
Of his treatment, has been compel
led to undergo several kinds of
dieting. At first he was given all
he wanted to satisfy the inner man
but when he wrote the letter he
was passing through period dur
ing which milk was the main item
on his bill of fare.
Mr.. Handy's existing ailment
from what he wrote, does not seem
to be serious but needs careful
medical attention. His condition
is principally brought on by too
much blood pressure and in itself
this is not serious should it not

Citizen Urges I'M
proved Prisons

The following letter recently ap-
pearing in the Every Evening, sug-
gests possible way of overcom-
ing the unsatisfactory conditions
that prevail in our county prisons.
81 am a reader of Every Even
ing and am glad to know you are
in favor of modern prisons. Now
that it has been proven that the
New Castle Workhouse is made
quate to serve the whole State,
why not talk it up and get things
in shape to go before our next
Legislature and insist that the
State purchase the workhouse and
enlarge it and make it State
workhouse.
"Our jails in the two lower coun-
ties-well, l will call them obso-
lete. They are like the old wooden
plow. They were good enough
when people didn't know how to
make anything better.
"Some of our people down here
are advocating a plan to keep our
prisoners home and work them on
the county roads. Anybody who
will take time to think will see that
it would be very high-priced labor
because it would take two prison
ers to accomplish the same amount
of work that one regularly uaid
main would do. Then the cost of
transportation of the prisoners to
and from the place of work and Of
guards would have to be paid with
other expenses. And, oh what a
spectacle for the public to view in
fettered with ball and chain. And
a civilized land-human beings
the fellow with gun, just as de-
based as the fellow in chains. I
hope people of other States may
pass through Delaware without
seeing a spectacle so inhuman.
"There are men and women, too,
who make a study of criminology,
and they are making discoveries.
They find in some instances that
crime is a disease. That is why
the modern warehouses; are taking
the places Of old-style jails. We
may not see it, but | think the next
generation will, workhouse (sim-
liar to our large factories of today
where the convicts will be made to
do a regular days work, and if
there be any dependent, wife and
children or mother or father,
they will secure large part of the
earnings.
81 know several men who have
served time in jail while the wife
was scratching her life out to feed
her little one, while the father
was skulking in idleness. AS a
fact, there is nothing else to do in
our county jails, and we all know
what idleness leads to. It's the
road to evil and seldom bears good
fruit. Now that we have men and
women who have devoted their
whole life to the cause, let us do
our part"

suddenly affect the heart. It is TO
avoid such a happening that he
is undergoing treatment. The
examinations made by the compe-
tent physicians attending him at
Johns Hopkins have shown that he
IS suffering no organic disorder.
