August and September. Immediately
after Matching the females lay eggs
on the trunk and larger limbs OF the
trees. seldom over two feet above the
ground. The egg hatches in a week
or less and the young borere crawls
down the trunk of the tree to the
ground. Its boring into the tree
causes gum to exude. 1t feeds in the
tree through winter and spring, some
times till July.
s.To control these insects, the earth
should be mounded about the trees in

as they issue from the pupae in the
trees, will be unable to make their
way through this dirt and will perish.
The young borers which hatch out
from the eggs laid on the trunks and
limbs, encounter the mound and at
once enter the bark. They are thus
| induced to enter the trunk of the
| tree instead of the crown or roots. In

But It's certainly wrong to waste

If I'd increase the yield.
And after I have drained the land

There are several reasons. 1t re-
