MKTIIODS FOR PEARS 1013 



with nicotine to kill the old flies, and again with full scale strength 

 lime-sulphur after the blossom buds had separated to kill the eggs. 

 \Ve killed ;i large pen-outage of both flies and eggs. After the 

 nymphs were hatched wo sprayed again with nicotine, but still 

 wo had a great many psylla. AVo killed many of the blossoms and 

 seriously reduced the crop of pears with the lime-sulphur spray. 

 Two of my neighbors had nearly the same experience. The psylla 

 is our worst pest.
