Ml* lowed with a sub soil plow & the name furrow, the deeper the ground is bro* ken up the better, Before planting, it ia of the utmost importance to ex- " amino the Shoots of the young trees for the borer. Generally nurserymen send out peach trees without taking out tho borer, A tree planted With a borer in It Is sure to die in a few years, very often In its third year aft­ er planting, it puts the beginner in the uncertainty to know'what is the cause of the death pf hie .trees. They often look as if they-were suffering with the yellows, while It is the borer killing the tree. Two years ago w» had three trees that to all appearance ■had the true yellows. When taking out the frees we found two -and three borers In the crotch of the roots Where ,it was Impossible to see any signs Of a borer. ’ The frees should be. examined every spring and fait, and the borer taken out With the knife. ^ A peach orchard Should be atarted low. The young trees should be cut back.when planted from- 15 to £4 inches with not a side branch on- them. They will put out side branches and make a low. bushy tree for five or six years. After that, they become large and high, bearing fruit almost from the ground to the top of the .tree. For the first three years,, the new wood should be cut back from a ' third to pne-balf. After that it re­ quires not so much catting brick. Only where a leading branch takes posses* .aion of the entire growth such a lead­ er should be cut back on a level with (the head of the tree, All the dead wood should be taken out after each crop. - >1 Mrs. W.

Borers in YoungTree*, the tree, sometimes, especially in the case of young trees,* almost entirely girdling them, thus ruining the trees. The methods of fighting both round and fiat headed borers are much the same. Two or' three methods -are available for making the control of borers more easy. In case ot older itrees, probably the,- most important imethod is by mounding, that is heap­ ing ip a little mound of earth, around the base of the tree, *This forces the insect to deposit its eggs higheron the tree so that the worm will be located .higher. It Is much crisier to level :this inoynd o f earth down around the tree to find the borer than to have to dig away the bo JI when it Is left level. However, mounding may not be prac­ ticable in very stony land. In case of .younger trees, the best method Is to ■wrap them with a wood veneer wrap­ per. Andmoundayery small amount, of earth around these wrappers; This :xnakes it very difficult for the parent; of the horer to get its eggs deposited in the trunk of the tree, in sections where the borers are rather nnmer- .ous, while this practice of wrapping should be followed, it should not he wholly depended upon, but the exam­ ining for the horer should, also he .done. If the wooden wrappers are used it may he necessary to spray inside of them with kerosene emulsion* or lime-sulphur for the woolly aphis are apt to accumulate there.
