Peach-tree Borers 
The I’ka( ii-thick Borer and Its Con¬ 
trol. —The peach-tree borer is an old, 
long-standing pest for which the only 
method of control so far has been to dig 
it out of the infested trees at least once 
a year during the Spring, before the mid¬ 
dle of May in New York. Within the last 
two or three years the Federal Bureau of 
Entomology has demonstrated experi¬ 
mentally on a large scale the effectiveness 
and the comparative simplicity of control 
by the use of a substance known as para- 
dichlorobenzene. Extensive experiments 
with this material have also been carried 
on by the New Jersey Experiment Sta¬ 
tion with most gratifying results. Tlfe 
writer has also a series of experiments 
under way at the present time, hut the 
results will not be fully available until 
next Spring,

P, red especially for ensilage pur¬ 
poses. they make the height of stalk 
and abundance of blade that insure 
immense tonnage. For years these 
corns have enjoyed a reputation for 
ensilage purposes, particularly in 
the North and West. They make 
larger and better crops than corn 
grown in other parts of the country. 
“Growth in Spite of Drought” 
A customer writes: “East summer 
we planted a field of your Pamun- 
ke.v Ensilage Corn, and had a most 
remarkable growth iu spite of the 
drought. The stalks average 13 or 
14 feet, while a few were lo!4 feet 
high. We never before had any¬ 
thing to nearly approach it even 
when the season was favorable." 
Write for prices on these corns that 
produce the most silage from the 
least land and labor.

gas is five times heavier than air. and 
although in ordinary amounts it is harm¬ 
less to human beings, it will kill insects. 
It vaporizes and works best in an orchard 
when the soil is moderately dry and when 
the temperature of the soil is above fto 
degrees. Only the pure pa radichloro- 
benzene. which ranges in price from 20 
to 35 rents a pound, should be used. It 
may be ordered through the local drug¬ 
gist. 
IIow and When to Apply. —The ma¬ 
terial is recommended only for peach 
trees six years of age and older, one ounce 
to each tree treated. Indications are that 
it can be used on younger trees in smaller 
amounts, but more experimental work is 
necessary before we shall be ready to 
make definite recommendations. The 
grass should be removed about the trunk 
of each tree and the earth smoothed off.

Circular upon application 
If the soil is clean only the crust should 
he broken and the earth smoothed over a 
space of six inches around the trunk. 
Large accumulations of gum should be 
removed. Then one ounce of the paradi- 
chlorobenzenc should he sprinkled in a 
narrow hand around the trunk, takiilg 
care to keep the material from actual con- 
tact with the hark, as shown The ring of 
crystals should he from one to two inches 
away from the tree all of the way around. 
The crystals should then be covered with 
several shovelfuls of earth, which may 
he packed lightly with the back of the 
shovel (see cut). In New York State the 
paradiehlorobenzene should be applied 
during the first week of September. It 
Would probably be best to pull the earth 
away after a period of four or five weeks, 
although if the material has been applied 
not later than Sept. 7. this will probably 
not be necessary. It is probable that on 
Long Island and in the lower Hudson 
River Valley treatment should be made 
a little later, say from the 10th to the 
loth of September.
