FIGHTING PEACH TREE PEST WITH GAS SAVES 
MILLIONS 
The result of what is known as the para-dichloroben¬ 
zene treatment for the eradication of the peach-tree borer 
lead experts of the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture to believe that a practical means has finally been 
found of ridding orchards of this disastrously destruc¬ 
tive pest. Previously the only effective method of fight¬ 
ing the borer was by removing the soil around the base 
of the tree and digging the grubs out of their galleries 
with a knife. It is estimated that the borers have done 
Dear Sir:— 
My dues paid to the American Association of Nursery¬ 
men are now 150 per cent, more than the previous year 
and over 500 per cent more than year of 1917. If this is 
about the average increase just what additional benefits 
are all of us now getting for this increase?

$6,000,000 damage a year and that $2,000,000 a year has 
been spent in fighting them. 
The para-dichlorobenzene method was first used ex¬ 
tensively by orchardists in 1919. It consists in sprink¬ 
ling fine crystals of the insecticide on the soil around the 
base of the infected tree and covering with earth to hold 
the gas. The substance is highly volatile and forms gas 
when the soil is between 74° and 80° F. This gas is five 
times heavier than air and sinks down through the soil. 
It is highly effective against the borer; and a pound of 
the insecticide, costing not more than 25 cents, is suf¬ 
ficient for eight or ten trees. The labor is scarcely one- 
third of that formerly required. The saving therefore is 
great. 
This year the para-dichlorobenzene process has been 
used extensively in the Georgia peach belt, some locali¬ 
ties buying as high as 50,000 pounds and large individual 
growers as high as two tons each. Growers declare that 
it is one of the greatest accomplishments in the history 
of the department, comparable to the self-boiled lime- 
sulphur treatment lor control ol brown rot and scab of 
the peach.
