LATE NEWS
GATHERED
IN COLUMBIA
Deserted Wife Starv-
ed to Death-Sea-
Board Air Line

vice

Columbia. Sept. 29-The story of
the death from starvation OF
white woman in one of the coun-
ties in the southwestern part OF the
state is described by officials of the
state child placing bureau today, IN
describing what is considered one
of the most horrible deaths the
state has ever recorded.
The woman's husband had de-
serted her, and surrounded by her
six small children, the youngest Of
whom was eighteen months old,
she passed out, found. stretched on
the floor by neighbors, in dying
condition.
The husband was a share-crop-
per. He lost money on his cotton.
and rather than stay and work for
his wife and BARNS he left home,
leaving his family to fight alone.
The mother was too proud to ac-
cept help from her white neigh
bors, according to the officials of
the child placing bureau, but did
take few crumbs from the colored
people of her community. But this
was not enough to sustain life. and
her life went out like the light Of
an oilless lamp.
Miss Claire Kearse. the child
placing agent, returned to Colum-
bia yesterday. after visiting the
motherless home and burying the
body of the dead woman, and with
her she brought three Of the chill
dren who are pitifully emaciated
from their battle against hunger.
Miss Kearse is now seeking homes
for these little ones. One is five,
another three and the smallest
eighteen months.
The neighbcr who found the
mother stretched on the floor Of
her death house. took care of the
babies until the states agent ar
rived. and in that neighborly home
the three oldest children are still
cared for.

PEACH AND PRUNE
TW|C BORER A PEST
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE
EXPERT TELLS HOW TO
COMBAT IT'S WORK.

The peach and prune twig boreI
which annually causes severe injury
to peaches, prunes and apricots can be
easily controlled with sulphur
solution when applied to the trees
just before the blossoms open, accord
ing to Claude Wakeland, entomologist
for the University OF Idaho extension
division. The borer passes the winter
as tiny brown worm in the crotches
OF the trees and eiierseo to begin
boring into the tips Of the trees about
the time the blossoms have opened
Where 1t Came From.
Like most of the injurious insects
In the United States the twig borer is
not a native but was introduced into
this country from Western Asia, says
Mr.. Wakeland. at has been known in
the United States since 1860 and now
has a wide distribution While it
feeds more generally on the peach
than on others of the stone fruits, it
attacks also apricots and plums and

Cause Of Injury.
Injury is caused by the larvae or
worms Of the borer These hiber-

meath the surface OF the bark in the

crOtches of branches and twigs. In
the fall they may be easily located by
the presence of little mounds OF bOr-
ings over the entrances of their bur-
lows. After larvae have ceased ac-
tivity in the fall and the borings are
destroyed or rubbed off, they are diff
cut to discover and the orchardist who
would find them is likely usually to
have to do considerable digging
around" in the crotches if he observes
them.
At about the time peach buds begin
to show pink in the spring the over
wintering larvae become active, work
themselves out of their silk-lined cells
and make their way to the twigs
where in the course of day or so,
they eat into the tips until they are
concealed and protected. Here they
eat not only the tender tips but also
burrow into the pitch of the small
twigs, causing the leaves to wilt and
die. In the spring, when wilted twigs
may be easily noticed, the work OF the
borer is more evident than at any
other time of the year. A single larvae
may go from one twig to another and
the injury caused by only a few OF
them may be great.
Number of BrOOds Annually.
There are probably not more than
two broods annually in Idaho and in
the higher attitudes but partial sec
ond brood. AS already mentioned, the
first brood attacks the foliage, but
larvae of the second brood bore irto
he fruit, usually through the stem
md, and feed freely on the fruit or
inside the pit. The appearance OF
wormy peaches and prunes is too ia |
nilar to most orchardists to need de-
,cription and a very large proportion

PURE SEED NECESSARY-NO
MARKET FOR POOR GRADES

Idaho seed growers face the neces-
sity Of producing pure seed If they
wish to find market, according tc
statements by c. B. Allison, assistant
field agronomist of the Extension Di-
vision, who says that, though the
market has been open to poor seed in
the past, only those men are receiving
any returns this season who are offer
ing products that are free from the
seeds of noxious weeds.
Heretofore the farmers of Idaho
have not been placed in position to
realize the importance OF pure seed,
with particular reference to small
seeds such as clovers and alfalfa. The
producers Of clean seed have not been
rewarded for the work necessary to
keep their fields free from foul weeds,
because during the last few seasons
the demand and the competitive bid
ding brought high price for foul
seed lots. Under these conditions
there was no incentive to produce
clean seed for other reasons than per-
sonal pride. Only the men who have
succeeded in producing nothing but
seed that is dodder-free, buckhorn-
free, and free from other noxious
weeds are able to receive any re-
turns this season.
What is to be done? Who is to
blanche dealer, because he has
paid the farmer exorbitant prices for |
seed that is not fit to plant, and the |
farmer because he has net insisted on
pure, state-tested seed, but has taken
he chance OF purchasing seed from
leighbors who have not secured a test
ind consequently could not give as
;urance that seed was free from nox-
GUS weeds. Before planting, half
lint sample should be sent to the
tate seed laboratory, Boise, or branch
Moscow, Idaho, for an.
lysis."

noyance to packers and loss to grow
ers are the result of injury caused by
larvae of the twig-borer. Losses of
as great as 25 per cent have been re-
ported, but 1t is significant fact that
little or no loss occurs in orchards
which are regularly sprayed with the
dormant spray of lime-sulphur.
Appearance Of Different Forms of the
Twig- BOrer.
After the larvae has become fully
grown, it changes to the pupa in which
stage it remains for one or two weeks
The pupa is enclosed by few threads
Of fine silk The first brood passes
the pupal stage in cracks or rough
places in the bark, between fruits
which touch each other and among
trash and vegetation on the ground.
The later brood is believed to pupate
mostly in the depressions at the stem
ends of the fruits.
The adult of the peach and prune
.twig- borer is a small, gray moth about
one-fourth inch in length and one
half inch from tip to tip of out
stretched wings. Both front and
hind wings have fringed border |
Moths are not easily observed and are
rarely recognized by Orchardists.
Eggs OF the first brood of moths are
laid on leaf stems but those of the
second brood are laid in the !stem-end
depressiOns of fruits and in crevices |
ct bark between the crotches. When
first laid they are nearly white uut |
before Matching change to yellow.
Control Methods. /
Lime-sulphur applied thoroughly to
twig-borer infested trees, just before |
the buds begin to open in the spring,
is known to be an effective means of
this pest. At this time
oyer-wintering larvae become active
in their cells and are readily reached
by this contact spray Later the ap
plication is made before the buds
)pen the better will be the results OBJ
aimed. By delaying application Of
ime-sulphur until the time mentioned
/ single treatment will be effective
n controlling both San Jose scale and
he twig-borer.
Success is sure but it must be en- ,
,hasized that it depends on proper
inning of application, correct strength
f material and extreme care and $
in the work done One
must use standard lime-sulphur So
ution OF 80 degrees or 33 degree ;,
3aume test. The proper dilution is
It the rate of one gallon lime-sulphur
0 eight gallons of water. 1t is i'm
ortant that every bit of twig, branch \
nd trunk surface be covered.
Addition of arsenate Of lead to the
solution has sometimes
cen recommended for the control OF
ne peach and prune twigborer but r
experiments and observations made r
l Idaho and other northwestern a
tates show that this combination is :,
and creates needless ex- .
ense. Attempts to control the pest j
18th arsenate Of lead sprays alone are o
kelly to prove unsatisfactory. There b
re cases where such a spray has
often results desired but repetitions
the same method may end in fail =
re. This is probably due to the fact a
lat bOrers emerge so irregularly in p
lie spring that it is impossible to +.
oply one poison spray which will be .
fective against all larvae coming out :
