'l"he presence of the borer, is indicated by the exudation from the base of tlie tree of a gummy brownish mas.*, which !t> damp weather becomes gelatinous. The attach of the moth often results in the yrolilH anJ premature blossoming of young tree*. Probably the best preventive measure is "mounding** which is simply dragging up the soil to a height of about eight or ten inches around the base of the tree. This should be done about July 1*1 and kept up until September 1st The whole atmosphere of this house is made doubly which practically covers the egg-laying season, in the latitude of New York. This causes the ninth 10 deposit I he egg* higher up on the tree attractive--and kept so--by the proper use -- preventing the young la/vx from entering the bark much below the top of the mound.

A similar method is to bind strips of tarred paper or sheathing around the trunk front a point tun 01 time inches betow the surface of the soil to a height of about one fooe. A com bination of these two methods probably offers the best protection. The application ol a w*sh to the trunk of the tree is often relied upon. Care must be taken tu avoid worthless amJ injurious wushu*. J. H. Hale, one of the most successful peach orchardists in the country, use* the following: Two quarts of soap, one haU pint of crude carbolic acid and two ounces of Paris green, thoroughly mixed with a bucketful of water. Sufficient Umc and clay should be added to make a thick paste. Other orchardists have found gas tar very effective, although there is danger of harming the trees with this wash. Of course any measure of prevention should be put into operation before the egg-laying season commences and kept up until it is past, for if the borers have once penetrated beneath the bark washes and mounding are useless; and the only cure is 10 din out the borers. This is usually done in ihe spring when the borers arc large mid easily found and before the cocoons arc formed. H. E. Ah o c l l . 0007--SWP--039908 N29175
