THE PEACH BORER

At the present time the Peach Borer
is killing more peach trees on the Della
ware and Chesapeake Peninsula than
all other causes combined. There is no
need for much of this loss for there is a
remedy. DIR. j. I. Headlee of the New
Jersey Experiment Station told all
about it at the meeting in Berlin last
winter, and he has stated that one-half
of the peach trees in New Jersey over
six years of age have been treated with
the remedy and the results are very
successful. He quoted at length from
E. b. Biakeslee of the U S. Depart
ment of Agriculture who has been
working on this remedy for several
years and at last he discovered it and
experimental with it until he is satis-
fled that it is entirely practicable.
Paradichorobenzene does the trick.
One of the firms that is making this
material has called it ''Paracide, a
shorter name and one easily remember
ed. Paracide is substance specially
crystalized for the purpose about like
granulated sugar. 1t slowly is convert
ed into gas and the gas is poisonous
to Peach Borers, but not to human be-
ings This material is placed in a cir
Gle around the trees about two inches
from them and about an inch or two in
width. An ounce to a tree is enough
The best time in this latitude is about
the tenth of September 1t will not do
to use it on trees less than six yed drs of
age.
When a peach orchard is set out
great care should be taken that the
trees contain no Peach Borers. They
should be examined very carefully to
see that the Borers are removed, and
they should be wormed every year un-
til they are at least five years old.
They should then have the Paracide
appli ,ation every year thereafter. The
whole work could be done for not much
more than three cents per year per
tree.
