Although q wide interest in the sub.
jcct Of city planning Is manifest to-
day. both in Europe and America,
there appears to be uncertainty as to
what IL precisely Is. According to II
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: "City planning simply
means getting ready for the future In
city growth. II Is the guidance into
proper channels of n community's Inn
pulses toward larger and broader
life. ON the face of It, II has to do
with things physlcal--thc laying out of
streets and parks and rapid-translt
lines. But Its real signicniince Is far
deeper; Il proper city plan has n pow
crful influence for good upon the men
tai and moral development of the peo-
pie. II is the firm base for the build
Ing of healthy and happy COM
munIty."
Mr.. Lewis studies In turn. the incep-

of intrusting Its successful executive

special commissioner created for the

his book what n city plan is. how

concluding chapters the opportunities

he declares the basic purpose of his

CONTROL THE APPLE B0RERs
Insect Lays its Eggs In or Under Bark
Most Common Method Of
Eradicating Pests.

The round-headed apple-tree borer
which has caused 80 much trouble to
orchardists lays Its eggs In or under
the bark Of apple trees. After hatch
Ing the larvae feed upon the inner bark
and wood to such an extent that the
tree is seriously weakened or killed.
The female lays her eggs, one mt a
time, in the bark. usually just above
the surface Of the ground. About Is
or 20 days Inter the larvae appear.
When full grown these are nearly IA
inches long. They form galleries and
thrust out little heaps of reddish wood
fragments around the base Of the tree.
The following year they live In the
trunk and emerge the third year as
adult beetles. As the females rarely
fly any considerable distance serious
infestation may be prevented.
The most common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests is To
cut away the bark In the late winter or
very early spring sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer. A
hooked wire Is then inserted into the
burrow and .he insect pulled out.
Where the bur 'oWs are curved or OBJ
structed in some way so that the wire
cannot be inserted, cotton batting
dipped in carbon bisulphide may be In
serted and the hole plugged with moist
earth. Pure white lead and raw lin.
seed oil, mixed rather thick. may be
used to coat the trees without injury
and when applied to young, smooth
bark, will form a protective coat dur.
