  As 
  a 
  secondary 
  precaution, 
  all 
  trees 
  in 
  an 
  orchard 
  any 
  part 
  of 
  

   which 
  has 
  been 
  infested 
  should 
  be 
  whitewashed 
  occasionally 
  

   throughout 
  the 
  summer 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  keep 
  the 
  trunks 
  and 
  branches 
  as 
  

   thoroughly 
  covered 
  with 
  lime 
  as 
  possible. 
  

  

  "We 
  wish 
  particularly 
  to 
  impress 
  upon 
  the 
  minds 
  of 
  fruit 
  growers 
  

   that 
  as 
  soon 
  as 
  this 
  insect 
  is 
  found 
  to 
  occur 
  in 
  an 
  orchard 
  the 
  most 
  

   strenuous 
  measures 
  must 
  be 
  taken 
  to 
  stamp 
  it 
  out. 
  No 
  half-way 
  

   steps 
  will 
  suffice. 
  The 
  individual 
  must 
  remember 
  that 
  not 
  only 
  are 
  

   his 
  own 
  interests 
  vitally 
  at 
  stake 
  but 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  community 
  

   in 
  which 
  he 
  resides. 
  He 
  may 
  think 
  that 
  he 
  can 
  not 
  bear 
  the 
  loss, 
  

   but 
  the 
  loss 
  in 
  consequence 
  of 
  the 
  slightest 
  neglect 
  will 
  be 
  much 
  

   greater. 
  The 
  fact, 
  too, 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  community 
  of 
  interests 
  among 
  

   fruit 
  growers 
  in 
  this 
  matter 
  must 
  not 
  be 
  lost 
  sight 
  of. 
  Fruit 
  growers 
  

   must 
  be 
  mutually 
  helpful 
  in 
  an 
  emergency 
  like 
  this."*
