County Agent Advises Orchardisfs
To Fight Peach Tree B0rer Now

Orchard owners are advised at this
TIME TO Degln operations against the
peach tree borer by applying Para
acknowledgements crystals, according
to County Agent o. w. Anderson,
upon receiving word from DIR. Ernest
N. Cory, State Entomologist for
Maryland. 1t is important that the
Observation-Disclosures, known also as
P. D. B. crystal gas and P. C. B., be
applied at this time of the year as the
crystals volatilize and generate the
gas necessary to kill the borer larvae
at a temperature of seventy degrees.
The mature, adult peach tree bor-
er Is moth which lays it's eggs
mainly on the bark of the peach tree,
usually between the main limbs and
the ground. From this egg is Matched
small worm which enters the bark
and feeds beneath it until cold
weather. With the arrival of winter,
the worm often goes deeper into the
cambium and continues to feed, ex-
cept in extremely cold weather,
emerging after June l for pupation.
Glrdling during this time by the
worm often shortens the life of the
tree and in some cases kills it.
All rubbish should be removed
from the base of the tree, care being
taken not to disturb the earth, before
applying the observation-disclosures
crystals. For trees three years of age,
the crystals are applied at the rate Of

er case, the Paradichlorobenzene is
placed in ring one and one-half
inches from the base of the tree and
