STOPPED THE APPLE BOXERS
knitA and Probed With Wire
Wrapping Also Used.
(By VOLNEY ROGERS)

Finding borers in my apple and
peach trees some years ago, | hunted
them with knife and probed with wire
where unable to go with the knife,
Where probing was resorted tC filled
the probed hole tightly with putty,
hoping to smother the enemy if still
living.
In early May following l wrapped
the trunks of all trees with several
thicknesses Of heavy paper, tying the
paper well to the trees with Irvine, SO
that all trunks were protected from
the ground up to the crotch
With the peach l removed five or
six inches of earth from the base Of
the trunk and wrapped below the sur
face, filling the earth back again over
the paper. My purpose was to try to
prevent the depositirg of eggs that
would become borers in the trunks

discovered that he was the uncle of
Miss Dorothy Morton.
How he identified that name with
the girl he never knew, but he was
sure from that moment that Dorothy
Morton was the girl who had fallen
over the dog.
A surprise was in store for the
young man. When he left the office
the white-and yellow dog was waiting
for him.
Shoot" said Ralph. But the dog
cringed and fawned and followed him
toward his boarding house. He had
almost reached this destination when
he saw Miss Dorothy coming round
the corner. He raised his hat. He
saw her pleasant smile freeze, saw a
look of angry reproach upon her face.
Then he understood. 1t was that dog!
She thought he had been lying.
He made toward the creature an
grily. but the dog, crouching at his
feet, rolled over disarmingly. He
could not kick the animal in that at
titude. The dog, reading his mind,
and treasured. leaped up with a series
of short yelps. Ralph was conscious
that the girl saw all this, though her
back was toward him.
He left the dog on the doorstep, but
the next morning, when he went to the
office, it was waiting for him.
Il see Misfortune has attached him
self to you. sir" said the colonel.
Il hope not" answered Ralph.
The dog. Mr.. Evans. That's what
we call him. Never was anybody's
dog, but he follows folks and gener-
ally runs between their legs and up
sets them. My niece was telling me
yesterday"
She thought it was my dog" said
Ralph. Il wish / could make it clear
to her that it wasn't mine. Won't you
tell her. Colonel Sharper"
Why, l guess Dorothy recognized
the dog after ALL answered the
colonel. But maybe you'd like to ex-
plain to her yourself Mr.. Evans.
Which Ralph did, to be rewarded
with complete forgiveness for a crime
he had never committed. Those were
happy days that followed. Ralph found
his position highly to his taste, and
the colonel and he had already agreed
upon the terms of sale about the time
that Ralph found that he loved Dor
,'1hy with all his heart.
The love declaration was as simple
as alwa.s, when il is the outcome of
muual love. Dorothy promised to be-

SERIOUS DISEASE OF TREES
Fire-Blight Has Been Termed Great
Black Plague" of Fruit Industry
1t Can Be Prevented.

(By J. II. CARMODY, Kentucky Export
ment Station)
Fire-blight is undoubtedly the most
serious disease that confronts the
fruit grower today. San Jose scale is
no longer dangerous when trees arc
properly sprayed. The aphis is easily
controlled as are all the other greatly
feared troubles of the past. After all
the other orchard troubles have been
successfully met and conquered, il is
very discouraging to see a promising
crop of fruit ruined in short time
In fact blight has been termed the
great black plague of the fruit in
dustry. 1t has been estimated that it
carries an annual loss of $25,000,0 900
to the country.
Blight is a preventable disease, and
in view of the tremendous losses occa.
stoned by it, systematic effort should
be made to check it.
Blight is caused by a minute germ
or organism that lives during the dor.
mant season in cankers, resulting
from infection of the previous season.
These cankers are formed at the base
of the fruit spurs, on the branches
and in extreme cases on the larger
limbs and trunk of the tree. Every
fruit grower should acquaint himself
with the appearance Of the canker
and destroy it as soon as noticed. If
every canker could be disposed of, the
blight could be held in control.
Ffre-blight is a problem involving
the community, hence, an organized
e1deavor should be made to check it.
Learn to recognize the disease in its
various stages, clean up the orchard
and encourage your neighbor to do the
same thing.
Do not be misled regarding the so.
called blight cures" There is no
patent cure and no one should ever
attempt to cure blight by SPRAYING.

particularly aphis and ants, spread
blight. Use the sprays against these

PUTS PRIDE away
ny ELIZABETH KAY.

A pretty girl crossing the street, a
white-and- yellow dog that darted in
her wake, a gasp and little scream,
and a fall-such was one of the first
spectacles that met Ralph Evans eyes
as he walked downtown into Nudge
Vile.
He ran to help her to her feet. The
girl rose painfully, and Aashed a
glance of indignant scorn at him.
Your dog" she began.
1T isn't my dog" answered Ralph
apologetically. Il never saw the crea-
ture before. You see. have only been
a few hours in town"
1t was difficult to be angry with the
frank ingenuity of the young man, but
Dorothy Morton was suffering from
her fall. She looked at him with sub
siding indignation, then smiled.
I'm sorry" she said frankly.
He raised his hat and hurried away.
He had come to Midgeville in answer
to an advertisement for assistant on
the local paper who could invest $500.
That was the exact amount of the
young mans capital. He knew the pa
per must be on its last legs to require
that amount of money, and he had
shrewd idea that eventually It would
gravitate into his capable hands.
However, he had thought Midgeville
an unattractive city when he arrived
the evening before. Now, after this
encounter, all his ideas were altered.
The sun was shining, birds were sing
ing, all the world had grown bright.
His interview with the newspaper
owner was highly satisfactory. The
old man was about to retire He hint
ed openly that it might be possible to
buy the paper later on part ownership.
And in the course of a lengthy disqui-
sition-tor old Colonel Sharpe was a

SAVING the Treee

The cementing of holes in trees ia
now quite common. On old estates,
where trees have been showing holes
in their trunks for years, they are
now being cemented, both to add TO
the stability of the trunks and to
arrest further decay. Huge trees with
holes in their trunks large enough for
man to stand upright in are now
nled with cement, the cement being
