Cutting off and burning infested canes would be the means of 

 preventing further mischief. It would not injure next year's 

 crop, as plenty of shoots are always thrown up from the stocks 

 to take the place of those cut away. A badly infested cane would 

 probably die if allowed to remain on the stock, so that nothing 

 would be lost by cutting it away while the caterpillars are in 

 its buds.
