Clump of 8ervico Bushes 8howlng Exit Holes of Roundhesded Apple-Tree
Borers
(Prepared by ths United Ststee Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
The roundheaded apple-tree borer
the most destructive of a number of
similar pests causes much damage
to apple orchards In the eastern halt
of the ynlted States It does not
confine its destructive methods solely
to apple trees but feeds on other
fruit trees as well as service wild
crab and mountain ash&whlch makes
It advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for a distance of at least a
hundred yards from the orchard
The presence of the borers is easily
detected Sawdustlike castings of a
reddish color are thrown out through
small boles In the bark as the borers
feed Heaps of these castings found
at the base of apple pear or Quince
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention Fre-
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast-
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious Injury has already been done
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or 60 days It Is about three-
fourths of an Inch In length light
brown In color above with two broad
white bands Joined In front extending
the full length of the back tbe un-
derparts and front of the head are
white The females rarely fly any
considerable distance so that If the
immediate vicinity of an orchard can
be kept free from them there Is little
danger of a serious Infestation
Worming to Be Thoroughly Done
The mqst common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests Is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer A
hooked wire is then inserted Into the
burrow and the insect pulled out It
made with care the wound In the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily The castings at the base of
the tree serve as an Indication of the
presence of the borera Where the
burrows are curved or obstructed In
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted cotton batting dipped In car
bon bisulphid sholild be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth The gas from the carbon bl
aulphld will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer In exten-
sive orchards where worming is done
on a large scale by promiscuous labor
some of the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer Every
female so overlooked stands a good
'ORCHARD SHADE FOR CHICKS
I
Ideal Place for Coops and Brooder—
Double Us May Bo Made of
Sunflower Plants
- All will agree that an ideal plaee for
coops colony coops and brooder coops
is in a well grown orchard There the
chicks have shade from the hot noon-
day sun but since every farm or poul-
try yard has not an orchard the ques-
tion of shade must be given some con-
sideration If there is no natural shade coops
placed between rows of sunflowers will
provide the chicks shade Sunflowers
grow rapidly provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry However if on cannot
plant sunflowers and there Is no shade
for the chickens muslin or old burlap
stretched over high poles will provide
V shade Anything that will cast a
shadow so as to provide a place for
the chickens to rest in during the beat
of the day Fruit trees always do well
when planted In chicken yards esp
dally when th ground Is kept dug up
ground them Dy all means remember
chance of maturing within a year or
two when it will deposit eggs In
half dozen or more nearby trees causi
Ing thereby a continued and an la
creased Infestation in that particular
orchard
The Importance of the following
points should be kept In mind by ail
personk who practice this method oi
borer control:
1 Borers should be removed front
the trees as soon as possible after
hatching
2 Every borer in the orchard should
be found and destroyed
8 Borers should not be allowed to
breed In cultivated or wild host trees
growing within at least 200 or 800
feet of the orchard
Paint Acts as Preventive
In addition to worming as this
process Is called paint Is often used
to prevent the beetles laying their
eggs Pure white lead and raw lin-
seed oil mixed rather thick will not
injure the trees and when applied to
young smooth bark will form a pro-
tective coat during the egg-laying sea-
son It Is probable that this is a more
effective method than wrapping the
trees with building paper cotton bat-
ting cloth or other materials some-
times used for this purpose Before
painting however the earth should be
removed from the base of the tree for
a depth of from three to four lnchea
The surface of the trunk thus exposed
should be first - scraped and painted
and the earth then replaced This Is
necessary for the beetle occasionally
lays her eggs under instead of above
the ground
As the Insect In Its borer stage lives
and feeds under the bark Insecticide
sprays cannot be UBed successfully
against It When the borer has
reached the adult stage it feeds more
or less on the exposed surface of
leaves and twigs and on the moisture
contained In the fresh castings thrown
out by borers still working in the
treea Arsenate of lead sprayed on
trees on which they are feeding would
kill many of the adult beetles but It Is
doubtful if It would pay ordinarily to
spray for the purpose of killing this
Insect alone except In the case of a
badly Infested orchard
‘ Farmers' bulletin No 676 “The
Roundhesded Apple-Tree Borer'
which contains a description of this
pest and different methods of control
may be secured upon application to
the United States department of agriculture
to provide some kind of shade to be
ready for the warm days and the
chickens will be more comfortable and
thrive better
Hindus at Native Fair Rear Monstrous
Figures In Commemoration of
i Ancient Warriors —
In Kasmlr India it was once my
good fortune to visit a Hindu Dubs-
rah or native fair The cantonment
of my host was some distance away
from the grounds so we tnounted two
of bis horses and rode through the
village out on the road to the fair
grounds where we rode much of the
way- in the wake of an interminable
procession on Its way to the Duss-
rah Above the heads of the multitude
three towering figures caught my eyes
They were fashioned after the form of
man but crudely and grotesquely and
they were 100 feet tall I turned to my
companion and asked him what they
were He told me that these mon-
strous effigies were reared to com-
memorate an ancient mythological war
which according to Hindu belief took
place in Ceylon in the long ago-
Whether the story Is true or not
the figures were undoubtedly real and
became more monstrously real the
closer we approached them Later
when we strolled at their feet I saw
how they were made Bamboo poles
bound together after the Indian fash-
ion of piecing out scaffolding formed
the framework and they were an-
chored to the ground by ropes hid-
den under the costumes that were
made of coarse cloth The heads of
the figures grotesque and unreal In
their workmanship were surmount-
ed by fancy crowns of gold and col-
ored paper
The fair Indeed was devoted en-
tirely to the praise of these mytho-
logical warriors and the heroic deeds
they are supposed to have done in
the ancient Ceylon wars
