THE PECAN has a number of important insect enemies of more 

 or less extended distribution. Some of these injure the nuts, 

 others the foliage and shoots, and still others the trunk and 

 branches. Owing to the wide diversity in their methods of attack, 

 no general directions for the control of these pests can be given, and 

 in the adoption of remedial measures the peculiar habits of each species 

 must be considered. This bulletin describes the more important 

 insects that injure pecan and suggests the methods that should be fol- 

 lowed to avert damage.
