CANKER WORMS. 



Brigldm, May 31, 1841. 



Gentlemen. — Tlio Canker worms arc going tobo very 

 destructive tiii.< seiison, as will he seen by inspectinc 

 the foliage of those kinds of trees that they depredate 

 upon. 



Last year after we observed the trees considerably 

 geared, we .set men to work upon one large Orchard df 

 trees, in what we call the shoop pasture, b;iek of the 

 Cattle Fair Hotel. The good consequences resulting' 

 from it was, we preserved the remaining part of the fo" 

 liage.and most if not all of the fruit. The worm readily 

 falls to the ground, by giving the limb a sudden motion 

 with the fist, or a club prepared with something solt at 

 the end of it, to prevent injury to llie bark. 



The trees may at the sanie time be tarred and effect- 

 ually prevent their (the worms) ascending again If this 

 precaution is taken, a considerable portion of them 

 will be prevented, from various causes, finding their way 

 to the stock of the trees, and much benefit will result 

 from this simple O])eration, of merely starting them from 

 the limbs, and breaking tlu- web atlacbed to tbem. 



I will thank you to show this notice to our friend, Mr 

 Putnam, that he may if he thinks it expedient give some- 

 thing in his nest paper to influence the public to turn 

 their attention to this, and the ensuing week, to deslrov- 

 ing this pest to Horticulturists. 



Very truly your Friend,
