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.

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

about 10 days ami the younu larva

creased In size, bores deeper Into
the bark. It Is In the younc stage
that the borer Is easily killed with
Kas from P-Z crystals. Ah the borer
becomes larger. 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.

control of peach and prune root
borers Is available In Station

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.

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

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."
