People of the Farce Islands Cannot

The Farce islands are bleak and

In the consciousness that he might live

would probably never even wonder
why he came.
Every visitor to the little archi-
pelago notices this characteristic atti-
fude of mild indifference on the part
Of the natives, so different from the
usual frank curiosity shown by isolated
peopIes In strangers from foreign
lands. The islanders are kindly enough,

TO PROTECT LOCUST I
TREES FROM BORERS
Plant in Thick Stands to Produce
Shaded Condition.
With Underbrush About Trunks OF
Trees Injury by insects Is Less
Protection Is Needed for
Very Short Period.

/ prepared by the United States DEPART
meut OF Agriculture)
! Plantations of the locust tree can be
successfully protected from the borer
/ and grown profitably on commercial
/ scale if the trees are planted in thick
/ stands or mixed with other trees, SO
as to produce densely shaded con-
, dition during the first ten to fifteen
years. Investigations of the United
States department of agriculture
showed that more trees were de-
stroyed by borers in tracts which had
been pruned occasionally or closely
grazed, or in which fire had killed out
the underbrush, thus destroying the
natural shade produced by weeds and
shrubbery.
The denser the underbrush about
the trunks of the trees, the less the
damage done by borers. Trees grow
ing from two to three feet apart were
seldom injured, while nearby isolated
trees were riddled by bOrers.
All trees and all parts Of the tree
are not subject in the same degree to
attack by the bOrer Rough bark pro-
yides crevices in which the borers de-
post their eggs. Young trees, less
than one and one-half to two inches
at the base, are not attacked unless
the bark is rough. On younger trees
the ,borers are found at the base and
near rough crotches. Trees with
trunks more than five or six inches in
diameter rarely contain the insects
On such trees the larger branches
jury is seldom common enough to do
much harm. Protection from bOrers
is necessary for only a comparatively
short period during the trees growth.
Under good growing conditions this
time should not exceed ten years.
The locust is widely planted for
ornamental and shade purposes. 1t
is highly desirable because it grows
readily in variety of soils and situ-
atoms 1t grows rapidly and forms a
Shapely crown when planted in the
open. But it is frequently attacked
by borers. This is because shade
trees are planted singly and in the
open, thus furnishing favorable condi-
tons for attack.
Young bOrers can be killed readily
by the use of an arSenical spray.
Spraying will be necessary only every
I two or three years unless badly in
tested trees nearby are not treated
AS a rule, spraying will not be need
ed after trees reach six inches in
diameter Trees of that size are usual
~ immune from attack but should be
watched.
LocuSts make such desirable shade
trees that they should not be neglect
ed and allowed to become injured OF
destroyed by borers. The increasing
value Of black or yellow locust for
many purposes makes it a profitable
tree to grow commercially and EN-
phasizeS the Importance of protecting
it from the bOrer
