BORER is INJURIOUS
TO ORCHARD TREES
Work of Insect Is Often Detected
During Pruning Operations
in Cold Weather.

The work of the fruit tree bark
beetle, or shot-hole borer, is often first
detected on trees during pruning op-
erations in winter. Leonard Haseman
of the Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends that steps be taken TO
eliminate the pest as soon after 1t Is
discovered as possible. The shot-hole
borer as a rule attacks trees which
are in state Of decline from any
cause. 1t winters as q grub in gal
leries just beneath the bark. Peach
trees attacked by this insect and which
will still have vitality to exude gum at
the injured points may in some cases
be brought into condition by severe
pruning and an application, as the
buds swell in the spring, of an effec-
tive wash.
One gallon of commercial lime sui
phur to eight gallons of water as used
for the San Jose scale during the DOR
mant season is quite effective. An oil
spray as recommended for the scale is
also beneficial. Stiff whitewash with
a pint of crude earbolic acid added TO
each ten gallons Is also used. These
washes may be applied as sprays be-
fore the buds open, but where 1t is
necessary to repeat the application af-

men have been drawn by the council
of national defense. These contracts
will be awarded the moment war is
declared and within an hour the max

The contracts were drawn imme-
diately after Howard e. Coffin, OF De-
troit, chairman of the committee uon

the nations resources has been COM
pleted and every manufacturing con-
Germ that can make goods needed by
an army listed. The contracts are

New York;. P. Morgan & Co, has
agreed to advance an amount up to
$1,OO0,O00 without interest, to relieve

These applications are usually suffi-
cient for sour varieties before the fruit

plications are made sometimes to
sweet varieties in order to guard as
far as possible against loss from brown

Birds exact rather heavy toll at
times, especially from small orchards.
The loss from large orchards is prob
ably negligible in comparison with the

COMFORT IN POULTRY HOUSE
Especial Attention Should Be Given
When Sudden Drop in Tempera-
ture Occurs In Winter.

The poultry house should be COM
Portable during the winter months.
Especially should attention be given to
this when a cold norther or sudden
drop in temperature makes it neces-
sary to give additional warmth to the
house. No drafts should be allowed,
as this is apt to cause such troubles
as rheumatism, colds, roup, etc.
The poultry house should be dry
and warm in winter. Dampness is like
ly to be a source of trouble. Such con-
ditions make favorable places for dis
ease germs of various kinds. Care
should be taken to keep out draughts
and to keep the floors dry and Clean
