SUMMER MEETING. 19 



Let US remember that this world is one great workshop, in which 

 each one is in duty bound to do their full share, and that in the pro- 

 fession of horticulture we have no room for the idler and no time for 

 the grumbler. 



In the beautiful words of Emerson, let us not forget 



"IIow nlj^li Is grandeur to our dust, 

 How near Is God to man ! 

 When duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' 

 The youth replies, 'lean.' " 



N. F. Murray, Oregon, Mo.

Secretary's Note — While it is the aim and object of our society 

 to encourage the broadest and freest expressions in all our papers, re- 

 ports and discussions, yet we want it distinctly understood that the 

 society is in no way responsible for the statements of any one man. 

 Every man is his own author and his words are his own views only. 

 Location, surroundings and experiences are much varied, and you 

 must be your own judge, if it is best to make them yours. 



L. A. Goodman, Secretary. 



THE WOOLY-APHIS OF THE APPLE OR THE APPLE-EOOT 



PLANT-LOUSE. 



Schizoneura lanigera (Hausm) . 

 SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 



The experiments conducted by this Station during the past year 

 on the wooly-aphis of the apple have given results which are briefly 

 summarized as follows: 



I. The limb or aerial form of this insect can be readily killed by 

 one or two thorough sprayings with strong kerosene emulsion. 



II. Apple seedliugp, buds and grafts should be planted in a small 

 trench filled with finely powdered tobacco or tobacco dust and lightly 

 covered with earth. This will keep the wooly-aphis away. 



III. Apple nursery stock should have a liberal supply of tobacco 

 dust applied to the roots every spring in order to kill the wooly-aphis 

 and prevent it from establishing itself there. It should be applied by 

 removing some of the earth from around the roots, filling the excava- 

 tion with tobacco dust and lightly covering it with earth.
