INSECTS THAT PREY
ON THE APPLE TREE
There Are 176 Different Varieties
Capable of Making Them .
Entirely FruitIeSs.

It's almost a miracle that we have
any apples at all, for there are 176 diff
ferent varieties Of insects which at
tack apple trees and are capable Of
making them fruitless. To fight this
horde Of pests the apple producing
states spend as much as $3,000,000 a
year for spraying trees, remarks Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Scientists now say, however, that it
would be much better if fruit growers
spent less money in covering their
trees with poison and did more to en-
courage birds to make their homes In
the orchards. Birds devour almost
every kind of insect watch threatens
fruit, and enough birds will accom-
plish wonders in freeing orchards from
this danger.
Farmers often object to birds. be-
cause they eat so much fruit. There
are, however, numerous ways in which
the amount Of fruit birds destroy can
be made trivial compared with the
number of insects they eat.
leODillSi lol lllStdHCt, arc tAlTembly
fond Of cherries. But they will leave
the cherry trees quite neglected If one
or two trees of Russian mulberries,
which ripen at the same time as cher
ries, are placed within reach.
Other things which will retain the
robins useful services as a forager
without any serious loss Of valuable
fruit are chokeberries, holly, elder,
sour gum, shadeberries, wild cherries,
wild grapes, greenbrier and smilax.
The planting of some such trees and
shrubs in the vicinity of orchards
serves double purpose. 1t furnishes
food for he birds and makes them
more inclined to make their homes In
the orchards. One reason why birds
often avoid orchards is because the
shrubbery has been cut away and they
can find no suitable nesting places.
