New Peach Borer Control and Feeding Tests Reported
A new ethylene dichloride emulsion kills peach borers better than paradichlorobenzene and a vented K S D A device measures proper amounts for each tree with a high pressure spray. The remedy is soil-piled and used at ground level to trap fumes, effective in cool weather and cheaper per tree. North Dakota tests show cracked corn and ground barley yield similar daily gains in fattening steers, with barley slightly more barley per hundredweight of gain.
