BoRERS HARM APPLE TREES
" Round-Headed Variety Is Not De-
stroyed at Once They Often
Destroy Tree Entirely.

CBy C.. F. NIvEN, Clemson Agricultural
College.)
The borers rank among the most de-
stEuctive enemies of the apple trees.
There are two classes of them, the
round-headed borer, which works at
the base of the tree, and the fiat-head-
ed, which works we'll up on the trunk
and in the crotches of large limbs.
Round-Headed Borer-The pres
ence of this insect is usually detected
at the base Of the tree by the little
pile Of sawdust castings thrown out
from an opening through the bark into
it's burrow. Often, several borers can
be found in n tree. This borer works
cal the base Of the trunk, burrowing
up and down, often going below the
surface of the soil. The burrow be-
gins in the bark and sap wood, but
soon extends for several inches into
the solid wood, often reaching the

CHOOSING SITE FOR ORCHARD
Great Caution Should BE Exercised in
Selecting LoeatIon-SeII Is Most
Important

A person planning to set out an or
chard in the future should exercise
great caution in choosing the site,
because his success depends largely
upon it. The first thing to consider is
the soil. He should examine both the
surface and the sNbSOil as to the
sourness and the ease of working and
fertility. He should examine the sur
face and the ~sub-drainage.
Another important point that few
people consider is the air drainage.
If the orchard is at the foot Of q long
slope it is more liable to frost dam.
age. 1t is also important which way
the orchard slopes. II 1t is so the
sun can shine directly upon 1t In the
early morning the frost is apt to do
more injury. The slope also has
much to do with the. colortng and
rtpening of the fruit. The land should
not slope toward the prevailing wind
because the winds will do the trees
much injury.
Not of the least importance are the
w~indbreaks. Do not select q site
where cedar trees are near, as they
harbor the apple rust. You also must
consider who owns 1t, because your
neighbor may not choose to leave it
there. If a prospective Orchardist
will consider these V)ints carefully
he is sure Of success as far as site
is concerned.

MICE INJURE FRUIT TREES
Excellent Hiding Place Afforded by Pill
ing Loose Soil Around Base
Keep IL Smooth.

Mice, are likely to make nests around
the trunks Of trees, provided they
have loose material at the bases the
trees in which to make a'nest. If the
young orchard is Plowed, the loose soil
turned up against the base of the trees
makes an excellent hiding place for
mice. Soil ought to be scraped bare
and smooth around the base Of the
trees so n loose soil, weeds, grass, or
litter can collect and enable the mice
to nest close to the trunks where they
will eat through the growing layer
thus girdling the tree. This precautlon
should be taken whether wrappers are
used or not, as mice frequently bur-
row in beneath the wrappers; if the
soil is loose, and find shelter behind
the wrapper.
