Peach Tree Borer-Fall Time
to Fight 1t.

The peach tree borer lives most
of it's life as a worm embedded be-
meath the bark of the tree, usually
just below the surface of the soil.
Here it starts as very small worm
eating away the life of the tree,
getting larger and larger until it
undergoes a change into a pupa
and then moth, which lays eggs for
more worms to carry on their de-
structive work on the peach trees.
The moths lay the eggs on the
trunk and branches of the trees du-
ring the summer-most of the eggs
being laid during July, August and
September.
The eggs hatch in from 10 to Is
days and enter the tree. By frost
all th eggs have hatched that will
hatch. At frost time the worms
are small, and all that will enter
until another summer, have bored
into the trees. This is the best
time to fight them.
Draw the soil away from the
trunk OF the tree to depth of four
inches or until the roots are expos.
ed. Search for the entering holes.
With a sharp knife follow these
holes until the worms are found,
and then kill them. The borer
holes can be found by observing the
presence of a thick sap-gummy-
like in appearance. This sap has
come from the tree because of the
borer's injury. There may he a
number of borers in a single tree.
The worker should get them all be-
fore leaving the tree. A small white
worm is often found in the sap.
This is not the peach borer and 1t
does no damage to the tree, but
lives on the sap.
Peach tree borers do great deal
of damage and many people have
lost heart in the growing of fruits
because of them. The question
may be asked, why let such a
little thing as a peach tree borer
get the best of one?--J. w. Firor,
Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture.

passes along, these scrape off the sur

the loose earth to the center. The
scarifier cuts off the 'nmocks in the
center of the grade, which is then

is most effective in rejuvenating an
old road it may also be used for build

Business Based on Service.

Modern business is built up largely
on guarantees. People don't trade with
folks they can't trust. That business
is getting freer from traps and hooks
is due largely to guarantees, some of
which assure you of satisfaction or
your money back. Others promise long
continued service and free repairs,
while others give free trial till you
make up your mind you want to buy.
The idea is to help you get your full
moneys worth and to make you feel

The Royal Palm, train running
out Of Palm Beach, Florida, was
boarded by robbers, who ordered
the passengers to line up on each
side of the aisle of the coach with
their hands held high over their
heads. The robbers then passed
down the aisles, taking the money,
watches, jewelry, etc., from the pas
sengers. There were two Jews lined
up side by side, and when it came
their turn to be searched key look
ed up in the robbers face and said:
mister Robber, Will you do me Won
favor?"t
"Yes, said the robber, but be
quick What is it?:''
May 1 put my hand in my pock-
et?" asked Ikey.
Yes, said the robber, but no
monkey business: I've got my gun
on you"
key thereupon put his hand in
his pocket and pulled out roll of
bills and taking off two twenties and
a ten, turned to Jakey, who stood
trembling at his side, with the re-
mark, "Jakey, here iss dot fifty
dollars I borrowed from you yester-

Bloodhound Not Fierce.

No real reason exists for the com.
mon belief that the bloodhound Is q
fierce animal, ready to tear the per-
son whom it may be tracking to pieces.
It is, on the contrary, rather noted for
its gentleness, even seeming timid, un'
less specially trained to attack. The
origin of the breed, according to
Count LIE Couteulx de Canteleu, an au-
thority on the subject, is from st.
Hubert of st. Hubert's abbey in the
Ardennes. 1t dates from the earliest
ages, and the breed certainly existed
in the time of the Gauls.
