Fall Time to Fight
The Peach Tree Horer
Olemson College, Sopt. 24.?Peach
tree borers, which annually cause the
loss of great numbers of peach trees,
can be controlled effectively by the
use of pure paradichlorobenzine with
I no injury to trees four years old and
older, says Alfred Lutken, extension
entomologist, who advises that in the
Piedmont area the paradichlorobeny.inc
crystals should be applied from
October 1 to 5 ami in the southern
! part of the state from October 15
j to 20, ,
Trees four and five years old should
I 1h? treated with three-fourths of an
ounce per tree, while older trees
should receive one ounce, Mr. Lutken
suggests. Until a safe method of
treating young trees is perfected, it
will be necessary to remove the worms
by hand from trees under four years
old. The hand work can be done during
November. '
The trees are prepared for treatment
by removing the trush and grass
for about a foot around the trunk and
leveling the soil even with the topmost
borer gallery. The crystals are
applied in a circle around the trunk
I about one inch from the bark, and
about six shovelfuls of dirt placed
in a mound around the trunk and
packed down firmly, with care that
the crystals are not thrown against
the bark when the dirt is applied.
After four weeks of exposure, the j
mounds are removed from trees four
and fixe years old, and after six!
weeks from older trees, and fresh,
soil returned to the original level to
avoid winter injury.

Wild Pigeons Once
Clouded the Skies
That morning 1 had been wandering
aimlessly about over our lawn?
wo called it a lawn, but it was anything
else. It was an oak forest,
with the ground hidden by a thick
growth of chinquipen bushes and
bj^ckberry vines. It must have been
in the late fall, as it was the first
time I had been allowed to weur my
now red boots >vith shiney copper
over the toes. It was a bright, U-autiPlil
djty without a cloud in sight and
the only sound was the harsh voice of
a blue jay quarreling with his wife.
Whenever tho silence begins to
grow oppressive, there is always'/"
couple of jay birds on hand to break
it, and put things on a normal basis.
Then, I noticed that the sun seemed
to be going out, and the next instant
a sinister shadow .came swooping
down from above, and rapidly spread
over tho landscape. The phenomenon
was accompanied by a curious
moaning sound, that was different
from any thunder I had ever heard,
and it was getting nearer and nearer.
The whole thing was so unreal, so
unnatural, that I became rattled and
made a break for the house, feeling
that I must get under something, to
protect me from the crazy dofngs up
in thf sky. The next instant the
thing happened and big, pigeon-like
birds seemed to have taken the place
of what the second, before was common
ground, carpeted with autumn
leaves. But now it was a solid mass
of beautiful slate-colored birds. They
didn't pay any more attention to me
than if I had been a stump and continued
to alight all around me, seeming
not to care whether I stepped on
them or not. I never realized that
there were so many birds in nil the
world as were dropping down on the
>11 -acre piece of woods that we called
a lawn. Glancing up I saw what
looked like an endless, bankless gray
river rushing across the heavens at
an incredible rate of speed.
Slowly it began to dawn on me
that I was seeing the wild pigeon,
that 1 had heard so much about, at
close quarters. I had often seen
them passing high overhead, out of
gun-shot range, when the whole
heavens looked as if they had been
sprinkled with black pepper from
giant shaker, by some giant who had
an endless supply of tho well known
appetizer, these were too distant, and
indistinct to have made much of an
impression on me. But when "all
the bird3 in the world" alighted right
around one, and went pattering about
on their pink stockinged feet as they
hunter! for acorns, that was something
to remember and talk about.
Probably startled by some sudden
noise the feeding birds left the
ground, and with the roar of many
wings, and came to rest in the nearby
trees. They waited for no usher
to seat them, but crowded as close
together as they could get until some
of the branches gave way under their
weight and ' fell crashing to the
ground.
It was not until then that I remembered
that I had a loaded shotgun
in tho house, hut what could one
puny little gun do against these teeming
millions? I was so dazed that I
made no attempt to get it, but just
stood there, opening my mouth wider

All this whilo that strange gray
river continued to flow overhead,
without a break or pause. It was
uncanny?where did they come from,
and would the ceaseless flow never

I might have hesitated about mentioning
the incredible number's of the
passenger pigeon, as it existed in this
country, up to the latter part of the
eighteenth century, had I not been
backed up by the written statements
of such famous naturalists as Audubon
and Wilson. Audubon tells us
that in 1813, in Kentucky, he "watched
passenger pigeons pass in one continuous
flock for three days. The
flock was so dense that the sun was
darkened, and the sound of their
wings was like thunder." Wilson also
observed a flock in Kentucky,
which he estimated contained more
' than two and a quarter billion birds.
To the human mind, which is unable
to take in such numbers, millions and?
billions^ carry mighty little meaning.
I In a way, I can keep the run of numbers
up to a thousand, but anything
above that makes me dizzy and everything
seems to run together.. That
is one reason why I have wanted to
be a millionaire. The usual flights
of wild pigeous in their migration
generally took about three days. This
is what observers in different parts
of the land tell us. After these regular
flights, isolated flocks were seen
for several days after.
Alexander Wilson, the father of
American ornithology, tells of a
breeding place near Shelbyville, that
was more than seven miles wide and
forty in extent. And that one hundred
nests were counted in a single
tree. The ground was covered with
broken limbs, egg shells and dead
squabs. And upon the latter, the
razor-back hogs greedily feeding.
He estimated that the flock he saw
here was two hundred and forty miles
long and a mile wide, probably much
wider. They were traveling above
gunshot, several strata deep, and very
close together. On the supposition
that each bird would consume only
a half pint of nuts and acorns daily,
he figured that this column of birds
would eat seventeen million four
hundred and twenty-four bushels each
day. If you care to prove this, you
might run over the calculation?it
wouldn't take but a minute. Audu
bon made another calculation that
looks reasonable. He estimated that
the number of pigeons passing in ft
flock a mile wide, for three hours, at
the rate a mile a minute, allowing
two pigeons to the Square yard, as
one billion, one hundred and fifteen
thousand. You can, Readily see what
a vast amount of acorrt and nut bearing
forest would, fc>e required to feed
this hungry horde. And think of the
miles they have to yet their dinner.
Hut when they can da?h through space
at the rate of a mile a minute, distance
shrinks to nothing, and a little
jaunt of two hundred miles to supper,
and back again, just serves to
whet their appetite.
Pigeons, unlike other birds, do not
raise their heads when swallowing or
drinking, and unlike we humans,
when they mate, it is for life?there
is no such word as Reno in their vocabulary.
Another peculiar feature
about them is whe^i they feed the
babies they eat the food first, and
when it becomes partly digested, the
mother brings it up by regurgitation
and the young run their bills down
in -the maternal crop and take it at
their leisure, with no fear of its disagreeing
witl\ them. As soon as
hatched the father pigeon takes complete
charge of the small daughter,
and the mother does the same thing
for the son. I learned this when I
usod to spend fche long summer afternoons
in the loft over the smokehouse
with my pigeons.
The book name for the wild pigeon
was passenger pigeon, and rightly
named it was, as they always seemed
to be in the greatest hurry, either]
going somewhere or just coming
back.
But they differed from the passenger
we are accustomed to as they,
had no hip pickets, and did not carry
"grips."
Notwithstanding the millions and
the billions that were here less than
fifty years ago, there is not a single
one on earth today?the last living
specimen having died in a zoo in
1914. Much has been written about
the mystery of the wiping out of the
billions and billions of the wild pigeon,
in a few short years, and many
theories have been advanced to account
for their rather sudden disappearance.
But I can see no mystery about
it?they were just slaughtered?and
when you kill a thing it is no longer
there. The birds had their regular
roosting places where they gathered
every evening about sundown, flying
low and as close together as possible.
And it was customary for the male
population of that section to be on
hand to welcome them home, with
every old pistol, shotgun and rifle
that could be raked up. - And the
ones who could not rustle up something
that would shoot armed themselves
with long poles with which
j they frailed the air?-bringing them
'.down by the dozens, wounded and
fluttering. Men who called themselves
"pigeoners" followed the flocks
i from place to place and made a good
livitfg at their nefarious calling.
| The farmers raked up the dead
birds, loaded them in wagons, hauled
them out and scattered them over
I the fields for fertilizer. The markets
of the citites became so glutted
that the pigeons did not bring enough
to pay the freight. This 4s no mythical
story of some faraway country ,
whose name you can't pronounce, to
say nothing of spelling, but it all took
place right here where we are now
living?in Greenville, South Carolina.
I am sorry to have to admit tint
I, myself, killed the last two wild
pigeons I ever saw. I had come
home to dirnper and discovered the
pair perched in the top of a dead
tree. I got my gun, took dead aim
and pulled the trigger, but nothing
happened?the cap was faulty. iSo I
went jn the house and got a fresh
box.
The foolish pigeons had n<jt moved
and the next shot brought them both
down. I have been regretting it ever
since! To think that I should have
killed the last two that I should ever
see!
