LITTLE FRUIT TREE DOCTORS
instinct Which Leads Thorn Uner-
rngIy to Locate Cooling Moth or
Apple Borer Is Sure and True.

There are two woodpeckers every
farmer ought to know. They should
be as welcome as the family doctor
in time of need, for their visits are al
ways paid to the sick. Unlike the
doctor, writes e, Young Wead in
Green's Fruit Grower, they come with
out being called and they require no
fee. The doctor can't live on worms;
the woodpecker cam and the bill
which he presents is inserted in the
tree and brings out nice, fat, juicy
grub.
Their surgical instruments are al.
ways with them. always clean, sharp
and ready for use, and their diagnosis
is always correct. They never open
body in the wrong place only to find
that the seat Of the trouble is some
where else. The instinct which leads
them unerringly to locate a codling
moth or apple borer is sure and true,
and though after one of their visits an
unsightly wound may be left, the
health of the tree will be vastly i'm
proved.
The hairy and the downy woodpeckers
are pretty birds, common throughout
the United States. They have breasts
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1915-01-22

of light gray, backs Of blue-gray with
a white streak down the middle,
barred wings of brown-gray and white,
and little touch of red on each side
of the poll. Their bills are long,
strong and sharp and they use them
for hammer and chisel. Their tongues
are long and cylindrical, terminating
in a hard barbed point, we'll fitted to
draw out the smallest and wariest
worm. Their legs terminate in four
toes, two on each side, which together
with their stiff tail-feathers, give them
a remarkable purchase power.
The hairy woodpecker Is noisy
bird and likes the forest as well as
the orchard. Like some physicians, 1t
is always calling attention to its good
deeds by loud cries and rapid flights.
The downy woodpecker, on the other
hand, is quiet and unobtrusive, so
busy with its work that it forgets to
advertise and sometimes even forgets
to be afraid. 1t is the smallest bird
Of its family and may be distinguished
from the hairy by its smallness and
its gentle manners.
The downy woodpecker loves the
orchard and is pre-eminently the farm
er's friend; and If any man believes
the bird is eating his fruit without
due cause, let him examine the apple
attacked and see IL 1t has not con-
tanned worm. Some fruit this bird
must have, but it prefers wild berries.
These birds are not fond Of travel,
and in winter they may be found as
busily at work as in the warmer
months, and they are probably more
noticed in winter because Of the leaf
less trees. Downy is very sociable,
and when the bird tourists have taken
their departure, he associates with
nuthatches, creepers and titmice, who
all like to forage over the bark of
trees.
The larvae and pupae OF beetles con-
stitute the chief food Of these wood
peckers. but the birds also consume
quantities of weevils, ants, bugs, cater.
pillars, grasshoppers, flies and other
insects, more than three-fourths of
their food being animal. e. Dwight
Sanderson of the New Hampshire ag-
ricultural experiment station, says:
THE downy woodpecker is the arch
enemy Of the codling moth and were
II not for his good Offices in destroy
ing the larvae in winter, your crop
might frequently be failure"
Let no man, then, disregard the
counsel of these competent surgeons,
but rather let him aid in restoring
health to the sick trees, for what these
trees need and must have is bath-a
good lime-sulphur bath-and a thor
ough drenching.

applied both direct and alternating currents.
After radish and lettuce seed had been planted
and termination had begun the various methods
of electrifcation were tried with extreme care.
The result of the experiments showed that the
plants in plot No. grew in every instance far
more rapidly than those in the other beds and
more than double the normal growth as shown in
the uneectrifed bed.
From this the experimenters became convinced
that identification of the ground by high-frequen-
cy currents stimulated plant life to an extent that
warranted a complete investigation. SO
they selected two acres of flat, rich ground.
