Telephone 210 Method of Application of P-Z to Peach and Prune Pests Described, Contrnl of the western peach mid ptmie root borer ean he easily and u heajily Hucurt-d by the uhij of puru I diehlnrobcnzcnK, commonly called hy the trndo name P-Z. The chemi cal couifN in white crytttals and Is applied about the baae of the tree dut liiK the latter part of Augimt to the flint of September. Treatment la more effective when soil tem perature la .fif'" or above and Holl molHture la low. The method of application If Klnide. The Burfaee of the anil should be leveled about the bune of the tree In aiicli a manner us to avoid disturbing the noil below the surface. All large masses nf Klim that may be present at the baae of the tree should be removed. lione dirt then may he piled around Ue has'e of the tree ami leveled off to Klve u surface of li to 1 inches above the normal level of the J Ktoiuid on w hich to spread P-Z I crystals. The crystals are placed In a ring around the base of the tree. In making the application, .crystals should be about 2 inches I distant from the trunk and care I fully done. The ritm should nnt'be J over 1 inch wide and the material I not nlaced too close or too far from the base of the tree, if the crystals are placed too far from the tree, the toxic effect of the gat Is Kieatly lessened. On the other hand. If Hie crystals are placed too (dose to Ihe tree, injury lo the tree is likely to result. When the crystals have been ap plied In a liim about the tree as directed, it should be carefully cov ered over with a few shovels of loose eailh and the mound so form ed should be well packed over the material, and smoothed down to prevent the escape or the x"8 front the crystals into the air. Tree Age Important The quantity of P-'A crystals hi control I iiiK the peach and prune root borer varies- with the axe of Hie tree to be treated. From to 1 ounce of VA is sufficient for an ordinary tree tl years of ae or older. For trees I to 5 years old, 3-1 ounce is sufficient, and for trees t to 3 years, i ounce is generally used. To prevent possible Injury to oung trees, fl is advisable to break down the mound about the base of Hip trues 1 to ti weeks aft er application. Some growers be lieve It is udvlnable to break down the mound even un older trees, but if the chemical (s properly applied, no Injury Is likely to occur even though the mound is not broktu down. The pencil and prune root borer In tin adult stune it a clear winged Hy ami often can be seen flitting arnmid in thn orchard duritiK the latter part of June and early July. The iKKs are laid during July but the fly may continue to deposit a few euus even until early fall. The ruMs are ordinarily laid on the trunks of the trees, generally with in l'2 inches of the ground. Kach female Is capable of laying from :lnii to sou (.-s.

It works deeper into the bark and into the trunk and upper root near the surface of the ground, resulting in serious damage to the tree and often death if the borers are not killed.

SEPTIC PLANT PLANS OFFERED FARMERS Plans and specifications for the construction of a septic tank for Ihe disposal of waste and sewaKe has Just been made available )u extension circular 333 by the ex tension service of the Oregon State college am 1b available on requeHt at the count? agent's of fice In Roseburg. Septic tanks of sufficient size to handle waste from the average farm home can be easily construct ed at little expense by the farm operator and provides a sanitary method of disposing of sewerage and gives an opportunity for many additional conveniences In the farm home. Construction can be so arrans ed that the work may be done largely between busy seasons, on the farm and with materials' on hand, with the exception of ce ment. It Is Important that a septic tank be of sufficient size to handle the needs of the house hold and so placed In connection with the sewerage disposal sys tem lo provide that no great quan tity of disinfectants, grease, or cleaning agencies are allowed to enter directly Into the tank as such materials are often detri mental to the bacterial action necessary for the proper working of the system. It is often conven ient to have an additional tile line connected directed into the septic tank for the disposal of waste con taining disinfectants, grease and other material which would de stroy the bacteria and the suc cessful operation of the septic tank.

M. Khrhardt, president, announced this week. Reasons for the gain are found In the greater Interest beinp shown in real estate by tenants, adjacent farm owners and Investors, and In the vigorous effort being made hy the bunk to return Its properties lo private ownership, he said. Sales also are belnpr made with more eash down this year than last, Khrhardt reported, an Indication of Ihe confidence buyers are showing In the future- of Oregon agriculture. There are several reasons for the healthy condition of the farm real estate market, it was pointed out. "Land in realistically priced on the basis of normal yields and average prlceB," Khrhardt ex plained. "Values have not been touched hy any speculative fever, yet commodity prices are hound to rise In the future, and when they do, land prices will rise with them." WEST CROPS FACE EAST COMPETITION LA KKANDK. Aug. 7. (AP) The western states must produce a high type of diversified crops to meet eastern agricultural competi tion, F. O. Mart of Denver, federal hureaii of reclamation engineer, said after surveying the Grande Knude valley irrigation project. "The east is becoming un active competitor of' the west, even in livestock feeding, so that feed crops will tend to become less pro fitable here," he commented. "It's the same with other western farming phases. Experts say the west's solution is either develop ment of cftfps as big as those of the east or production of a high type of diversified crops."
