CONTROL THE PEACH BORERS
Thick Heavy Renting of Asphaltum
8erves to Exclude Insects Mate-
rial Is Applied Warm.
In a bulletin of tho California sta-
tion K. L. Morris calls ntteutlon to the
uso of hard asphaltum grades "C" nnd
"D" for tho control of tho peach trcq
borer. This material was applied early
In tho spring to badly infested trees
from which tho borers had been dug.
It wns found that n thick heavy
coating prevented both tho lssuanco
nnd tho entrance of about 95 per cent
to 9S per cent of tho insects tho tie-
greo of ofllcloncy depending upon the
thoroughness of tho application. As-
phaltum docs not penetrate crack de-
teriorate or hind tho tree slnco it
yields to tho slightest pressure. Tour
years of experimenting hao not
shown tho least Injury.
Tho material Is applied warm with a
brush from flvo Inches below to flvo
Female Beetle Placing an Egg In Tree
Below Surface of Ground.
Inches above tho ground. It is easier
ito apply two or more coatings than to
try to put on moro nt one tirao than
will ndhoro firmly. Tho llrst coating
will harden very quickly and tho sec-
ond can bo applied without loss of
tlmo. Two coatings are generally suf-
ficient unless tho bark Is very rough.
Uut in any caso a thick uniform cov-
ering is absolutely necessary for thl
best results.
Dor rs aro seldom uniformly distrib-
uted over an orchard. Small blocks
of trees hero and thcro may bo badly
Infested and tho most of tho orchard
comparatively freo from tho past. In
such cases It Is not necessary to treat
all of tho trees with asphaltum but It
Is necessary to examine them enro-
fully for in no other way can tho true
conditions bo known.
A convenient way to handlo tho as-
phaltum is to mount an Iron kettle on
tho running gear of an orchard truck
and suspend beneath it a sheet Iron
apron as a flro box. Keep hard ns-
phaltum In tho kottlo all tho time so
that tho molted asphaltum will not get
too hut to carry In small containers
and apply directly to tho trees.
UERMS CAUSE APPLE BLIGHT
Only Known Way of Control of Dis-
ease Is to Cut Out Affect&ai
Parts Job Tedious.
Ullght of pear and applo trees is
caused by n vory nilnuto germ which
works Insldo tho bark and out of
reach of any spray material that may
bo applied. It is spread from trco to
treo by insects and gets into the trees
through tho bloBsoms. Hero it Is de-
posited by bcea and other insects
which visit tho blossoms and us con-
ditions aro favorable for tho develop-
ment of I ho germs they pass from the
blossoms through tho stems of tho
flowers into tho twig and then through
tho rest tit the troe.
To control blight by cutting out tho
affuctod parts Is a tadlous Job but It Is
the only way known at this tlmo for
controlling It. Whoever will discover
a better way than this will bo a bene-
factor of humanity and do a wonder-
ful work for tbe upbuilding of fruit
growing.
PROPER SITES FOR ORCHARDS
Fact Often Overlooked That Cold Air
Settles to Lower Levels Frost
Doss Much Damage.
It is a well recognised fact though
ono too often overlooked In selecting
sites tor orchards that cold air set-
tles to the lower levels. For this rea-
son It Is often colder at tho lower
elevations than It Is at higher polnti
In tbe same locality. This Is what Is
meant by "atmospheric drainage."
Tho occurrence of frost Jn low places
when there Is none on elevated areas
Is thus eiplalned. For the ssae rea-
son peach buds are often winterkilled
or the blossoms are Injured by frost
la tbe spring In low places whs
nearby orchards on higher elevatloM
are Injured much leas or sven eeeaaa
entirely.

BUILDING
GOOD MANAGEMENT OF ROADS
Road Specialists of Department of Ag-
riculture Place Blame for De-
fects In Highways.
n a county builds a good roal 
n lets it becomo rutty washed
out ir uneven who' or what Is prin-
cipally to blame? As a result of a
study of conditions In a number of
counties road Bpcclnllstn of tho de-
partment aro Inclined to place tho re-
sponsibility upon tho following de-
fects In road management tomo or alt
of which nro found in nit counties
where good roads aro not properly re-
paired and maintained:
1 County boards although having
full administrative authority appear
not to attach to their oftlclnl action In
road matters the Importance or legal
effect which It should have.
U. County hoards do not generally
hnvo suinclent accounting control of
road funds to know what Is avallablu
A Michigan Improved Road.
for nuy particular project where funds
liuvo been or where existing balances
aro to bo expended.
3. Lack of any systcmutlc prac-
tlco In handling road funds among
most counties makes it very difficult
lo carry out over oven a alnglo year
any porslstcnt malntcnanca policy bo-
cause funds officially obligated for
malntcnanca purposes aro not pro-
tected against sporadic and Irregular
drafts for miscellaneous purposes.
Tho greatest likelihood consequently
exists ovorywhero thnt there will bo
no balanco In tho maintenance fund In
tho last half or third of tho year al
though only a part of tho fund al-
lotted may have been spent.
4. Locnl labor available for main-
tenance) work la mado dlssntlsflcd by
tho constant unintelligent and un-
favorable criticism of thoso using tho
road.
E. Maintenance continuing over a
porlod of years tho ultlmato IndlS'
ponsablu condition of offcctlvo malii'
tenanco Is Jeopardized by tho lack of
accounting control that will provent
spending next year's current Income
In this year.
6. Tito lack of skilled supervision
In construction and tha effect of this
In Increasing tho cost or In making
offcctlvo maintenance impossibly ex
pensive Is everywhere seen.
7. Tho county authorities aro com-
monly opposed to following sugges-
tions for malntcnanca that Involve ty
ing up road funds in any way such
as purchasing materials in advance to
storo along tho road for making re
pairs or maintaining tho road surface.
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have 8ame Effect on Country
Highways as a Roller on Plowed
Field Wagon Pulls Easier.
Tho following appeared In n recent
Issue of "Extension News Service"
published by tho University of Ne
braska.
Wldo tires build up roads and save
horso labor according to tho depart-
ment of agricultural engineering nt
tho unlvorslty farm. Thoy ltavo tho
samo effect upon a country road as a
roller on a plowed field. On tho other
hand tho narrow tiro cuts up a road
Ilka a disk. It has been found by
nctual test In this department that
tho wldo-tjred wagon pulls easier In
nearly all cases than tho narrow-tired
wagon. In deep mud on a country
road tho wldo tired wagon pulls C.2 per
cent caslor. On tho country road
with a thin surface of mud or deep
dust howevor the narrow tiros pull
4.9 per cent easier. In a cornfield
tho wldo tires pull 30.S per cant easier
In a dry alfalfa field 17.7 per cent
easier and on a dry country road 10.2
per cent easier.
Fruit Tress Along Roadside.
J. H. Taylor recommends the plant-
ing of fruit trees for shade along
country roads. He auggesta fkat the
owBer of a row of maple trees gets
no.frult from them and that he might
plant fruit troes In the same spirit
letting travelers have what they de-
sired as they passed along. It Is sot
uncommon to meet with a nice apple
pear or cherry tree now along coun
try reads but In the vicinity of cities
whore boys are numerous they play
have with sueh trees.
