STOP The BORERS
Use Protective Wash on All
Peach Trees.
Insects Start Digging Trees
Early in the Spring.

Manhattan, Kan, May 26.-The
best method of control for the peach
tree borer is combination of mound
ing, applying a protective wash, and
digging out the larvae with a sharp
knife, according to Dr. ]. H. Merrill,
assistant professor of entomology in
the Kansas State Agricultural college
and entomologist in the Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment station.
The first thing to do in the spring
is to worm the trees" says Doctor
Merrill. Next apply the protective
wash and then mound to a height of
or 10 inches. Mounding makes the
female deposit her eggs high up on
the trunk of the tree, and seems to
have a tendency to decrease the num-
Der OF eggs deposited.
THE mound should be removed in
June, and all borers exterminated,
after which the mound should be re-
placed. Another worming should be
made in September but it is not nee
essary to replace the mound at this
time.
"a good protective wash can be
made by adding one pound ofarsenate
of lead to five gallons of Iime-su1phur
solution. The former acts as a poison
and the latter as repellent."

Most persons because of the shape of
its body would take it to be a blue
wasp rather than a moth. The fore
wings of the male are transparent
with veins and edges of steel blue. The

Norcatur VIII Have One of Most Mod

Norcatur, Kan, May 26.-Profes-
SCR Clarence E. Reid, of the electrical
department of Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, arrived today to make
up an estimate of the material re-
quired to construct an electric light
equipment for Norcatur. The town
amount of $4,000 to place a trans
mission line and a distributing line in
town. and the bonds carried two to
one. Professor Reid was hired by the
council to engineer the building and
placing of the lines, consisting of a
splendid white way on Main street,
distributing lines to all parts of town,
and possibly twenty miles of trans
mission lines, connecting with either
Norton on the east or Oberlin on the
west, either of which is anxious to
furnish power and current for Nor
catur.
Every particle of the equipment is
to be first class, the transmission line
to be of copper wire and s eel posts.
Mr.. Reid expects to have the plant
operation by October 1, at which
time the city will hold a big celebra-
ton, in connection with a street fair
and stock and agriculture show.
Norcatur has been steadily growing
the past year or two, and is making
large number of permanent inn
provements, among them being the
placing of several miles of cement

wings are opaque-covered with steel
blue scales-and a broad band of
orange extends nearly around the
abdomen.
The peach tree borer passes the
winter in the larval stage. Most of
the larvae that winter are only half
grown, although some of them may
be fully grown. The large ones spend
the winter in their burrows beneath
the bark, while the others usually re-
main on the surface, protected by a
covering of silk.
Activity is resumed in early spring,
the old burrows being continued or
new ones started. When full grown

PROTECT ALFALFA HAY.
Aggie Expert Advises Keeping Hay in
Cheap Storage Sheds.

Manhattan, Kan, May 26.-Alfalfa
hay should not be left unprotected
from rains as is now the practice on
the average Kansas farm, according
to Ralph Kenny, assistant professor
in agronomy in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
well cured alfalfa hay is well
worth the extra expense involved in
protection from exposure to rain and
unfavorable weather. says Mr.. Ken
ny. such hay will command high
price on the market if sold, and will
all be in a salable condition. Like
wise, if fed on the farm, it will have
more nutritive value, than if exposed
to all kinds of weather.
Cheap sheds for storing alfalfa
may be constructed from poles 20 feet
long set into the ground and support
ing a pitched roof of corrugated steel
or some prepared roofing. The sides
need only be walled for the upper five
to seven feet. thus preventing dashing
rains from beating into the stored
