The nests of the fall web-worm {Hyfhant- 

 ria cunea) have' this year appeared in 

 exceptionally large numbers, not only on 

 orchard but on ornamental trees; also by 

 the wayside and in woods, chiefly on birches 

 and alders, but maples and elms do not es- 

 cape. When the nests appear in our own 

 orchards, they are at once cut out, and up 

 to the time of writing, about 60 nests have 

 been destroyed. Almost every orchard in 

 this district is infested more or less with 

 these caterpillars, but it is comforting to 

 know that this particular pest has a fashion 

 of becoming abundant in some years and 

 then decreasing to scarcity. However, it 

 is not well to trust to Providence in this 

 way, for if the infested branches are not 

 cut out, the foliage surrounding the nest 

 should be sprayed with an arsenite, other- 

 wise, they may, besides looking unsightly, 

 do considerable damage. In the south there 

 are two broods of this insect, in the north 

 there is but one. When mature the cater- 

 pillar descends to the ground, there spinning 

 its cocoon in which it hibernates until next 

 season. 



Although the apple crop will not be so 

 great as at first expected, the general 

 opinion is that the fruit wil be larger and 

 cleaner than that of last year. Crabs are 

 abundant in some parts. 



The very heavy rains have greatly assist- 

 ed in the swelling of all fruits, and in this 

 part of the province the storms have not 

 done much damage. Wild raspberries and 

 blueberries have yielded enormous crops, 

 and cultivated berries have done well. Fine 

 blackberries were marketed on Aug. 7th. 

 Duchess and Red Astrachan apples were 

 marketed on Aug. 6th.
