Extract

The wasp-like moth of the peach borer, Egeria exitiosa will be busy during the present month, depositing her eggs on the bark of the trunks of the Peach trees; then as soon as the eggs hatch, the young grubs wil1 begin to eat their way to the inner bark, where it is difficult to reach them. Much good may yet be done, either in preventing the moths from laying their eggs, or, if laid, in destroying the young larvaæ, by brushing the trunks and main branches of the trees with soft soap, reduced with lye to about the consistence of paint.
