The Flat.Headed Borer.
The destructive tree borer so well'
known to horticulturists as the Flat-
headed apple tree borer and to entomologists -
mologists as ChrY80bothris femorata
fa found In nil parts of the country
and annually destroys vast numbers
at trees. It attacks apple , pear ,
quince , plum , peach , cherry , ash , elm ,
maple , uox.eldor , sycamore and willow
treos. The Injury Is done by the 11at.
headed borer during Its grub or larval
stage. The adult Insect 19 a beetle

female deposits her eggs In the crevices .
ices at the bark at the trunk and
main branches , usually on the south
or southwest side , where the effects
ot the Bun upon the tree Is greatost.
In our locality the most of the eggs
are probably laid during April and
May. Although eggs are sometimes
deposited by this Insect upon healthy ,

There are three ways of combating . I
ing the borer : (1) ( ) by destroying the
grubs while they are at work In the
tree : (2) by the application of some
substance that will prevent the eggs

eggs and newly hatched larvae , and
(8) b1 wrapping the trees with some.
thing that will prevent the females
gaining access to the bark. But , by
the best methods known , borers ' are
difficult Insects to combat. The larvae
make their way Into the wood so
soon after the eggs are deposited and
keep 10 eompletoly out at sight as
they work , that they may do much
Injury before their presence la suspected -
