FIGHTING PEACH-TREE
PESTS WITH GAS PROFITABLE

The results Of what is known as
the Observation-Disclosures treatment
for the eradication of the peach-tree
borer lead experts of the United
States Department Of Agriculture to
believe that practical means has
finally been found of Kidding orchards
of this disastrously destructive pest.
Previously the only effective method
of fighting the borer was by removing
the soil around the base of the tree
and digging the grubs out Of their
galleries with a knife. 1t is estimate
that the borers have done S6,000,000
damage a year and that $2,000,000 a
year has been spent in fighting them
The observation-disclosures method
was first used extensively by orchard
lists in 1919. 1t consists in sprinkling
fine crystals Of the insecticide on the
soil around the base of the infected
tree and covering with earth to hold
the gas. The substance is highly
volatile and forms gas when the soil
is between IA and 80 f. This gas is
five times heavier than air and sinks
down through the SOIL 1t is highly
effective against the borer; and a
pound of the insecticide, costing not
more than 25 cents, is sufficient for
eight or ten trees. The labor is
scarcely one-third of that formerly
required The saving therefore is
great
This year the Observation-Disclosures
process has been used extensively in
the Georgia peach belt, some locali-
ties buying as high as $4,000 pounds
and large Individual growers as high
as two tons each. Growers declare
that it is one of the greatest aceomp-
lishments in the history of the depart
ment, comparable to the self-boiled
lime-sulphur treatment for control of
brown rot and scah of the peach. ,

Thereafter for three hilarious acts.
Tony acts like a man who hasn't a
thimbleful OF brains and does the
most remarkable things, all devised
to get him and the mistress Of the
house, who are close friends, into
deeper trouble.
The climax of, the absurd actions
Of Tony and Betty, the latter de-

pair permit the latter's maiden aunt
mistaking Tony for Betty's husband,
to put them to bed together and ap-
ply onion poultices to prevent pneu
