Controlling- Apple Tree Borers — The best way to prevent lx:)rers 

 getting at the trees is to use common window screening'. Wrap a 

 strip about i6 inches high around the base of the tree. See that the 

 lower edge is a little below the surface of the ground. Of course, 

 any borers already in the limbs must be dug out. 



A simple seed tester consists of two dinner plates and two pieces 

 of white flannel of about the same size. Dampen the 

 flannel thoroughly and spread a piece on a plate and soak 

 the seeds, count and lay them upon the flannel; spread the other 

 piece over the seeds and cover with another plate. It is necessary 

 only to lift the plate and remove the upper piece of flannel to ex- 

 amine the seeds.
