The roundheaded apple-tree bOrer,
the most destructive of number OF
similar pests, causes much damage
10 apple orchards in the eastern half
of the United States. 1t does not
confine it's destructive methods solely
to apple trees, but feeds on other
fruit trees, as well as service, wild
crab and mountain ash, which makes
it advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for distance of at least
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of a
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes in the bark as the borers
feed. Heaps of these castings found
at the base Of apple, pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. FIRE.
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch In length, light
brown in color above, with two broad
white bands joined in front, extending
the full length of the back; the I'M
derparts and front of the head are
white. The females rarely ay any
considerable distance, so that if the
immediate vicinity of an orchard can
be kept free from them, there is little
danger of serious infestation.
Worming to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer. A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out. If
made with care, the wound in the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base of
presence of the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or INSTRUCTED in
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted, cotton batting dipped in car.
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth. The gas from the carbon BIZ
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In exteA'
sive orchards where worming is done
on a large scale by promiscuous labor
some OF the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer. Every
female SO overlooked stands good

ton of shade must be given some con
sideration
IL there is no natural shade, coops
placed between rows of sunfiowers will
provide the chicks shade. Suntiowers
grow rapidly. provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry. However, if one cannot
plant sunfiowers and there is no shade
for the chickens. muslin or old burlaT
stretched over nigh poles will provide
shade. Anything that will cast g

chickens will be more comfortable and
