The odds against accidental
death and injury have improved
steadily since the formation of
the safety movement in 1013.
If the 1013 accident death rate
had prevailed through the next
40 years, the toll of accident
dead would have been swelled
by a half million more vic

Too often when we plant fruit
trees we concern ourselves with
the fruit itself rather than the
care and culture of the tree.
This is especially true of the
peach tree.
One of the most destructive
pests of the peach tree is the
peach tree borer. Most com
mercial peach' growers know
about this prat and take the
necessary-'' control measures.
However, the gardener who
has only a few trees usually
doesn’t know about the borer
and is apt to lose some of his
trees of have -them ‘seriously
damaged before; he finds out
about it.
The borer damages the tree
by eating the cambium, layer and
soft tissues between the bark
and wood usiialy aj the ground
level or slightly below the
ground leyel. The presence of
the pest may be shown by de
posits of gum and trass around
the tree at thd ground.
Formerly we used to dig out
the borers with a sharp knife
and a pliable wire. Sometimes
we did more damage to the tree
than the worm did. I can recall
removing twenty-one borers
from one large peach tree.
Needless to say, the tree was
in a very weak condition. In
recent years two chemicals —
paradichlorobenzene and ethy

used as a control with very
