THE BANK FOR EVERYBODY 



Cfinrhuled fr<jm pa^e 1 

 to control the pest this year. When 

 the caterpillar has appeared before, the 

 para.sites have usually controlled it after 

 one year, but the severe winter of 1917- 

 1918 checked the advancement of the 

 parasites with the consequently disa.s- 

 trous results of the maples. 



Some have asked why the Massachu- 

 .setts Agricultural College did not take 

 steps to combat the insect. Last season, 

 as well as the season before, Dr. H. T. 

 Fernald or his assistant, spent several 

 days, inspecting the affected area and re- 

 poi-ted nothing could be done except to 

 wait for the work of the parasites. It 

 was not necessary to import new ones, as 

 natural parasites were present in suffi- 

 cient numbers. Individual .shade trees 

 could be sprayed, but spraying the for- 

 ests is not practical. 



The appearance of the maple promin- 

 ent in serious numbers in any district 

 should be reported to the Farm Bureau 

 at once so that the state authorities can 

 keep in touch with the situation. The 

 maples, for the most part, can stand two 

 yeais defoliation, but if the caterpillar 

 appears in large numbeis again, it may 

 be necessary to undertake certain control 

 means, in oi'dei- to save the trees. 



The Habit of Saving 



Is at the "hottoiii of most 

 big successes in tlie busi- 

 ness world. Begin tlie 

 habit by opening a sav- 

 ings account with the 

 H a Y (1 e n V i 11 e Savinii:s 

 Bank. One dollar is 

 enough to start with. 



BANK BY MAIL 



Continued from paj^e 1 

 formula, it is of little value in controlling 

 blight. Some might say, why not in- 

 crease the amount used? If, however, 

 the spray also contains arsenate of lead, 

 we are thus wasting the lead and greatly 

 increasing the cost. 



In purchasing commercial prepara- 

 tions, use the table given below for refer- 

 ence. 



Bordeaux foimulas corresponding to 

 the strength of Bordeaux mixtures pro- 

 duced when commercial preparations are 

 diluted as directed. (Farmers' Bui. 994).
