RE.IIBDY FOR CVNKER WORMS. 



The subscriber having obtained letters palem for his cir- 

 cular metallic trough and roof for preventing canker worms 

 or othnr insects from ascending fruit or other trees now offers 

 his services to apply the same to any extent that may be 

 ■wanted. They were put on to three orchards belongnig to 

 Jonathan Dennis in Portsmomh, R, I., m the autuirin ot 

 1937 and exterminated the canker worms so completely 

 that some of the trees hang so full of apples as to render it 



ttiat some Ol lue utca onus au ,u... «. -ri — 



necessary to prop them, although ih^y have been eaten by 

 the worms for a number of years previous, notwithstanding 

 the application of tar. The public are invited to examine 

 the orchards above referred to. The trough and roof is 

 made of lead and bent to conlbrm to the shape of the tree 

 and the ends soldered together and made enough larger than 

 the tree to allow the trees to grow ten years before it wdl hll 

 the space. The space between the trough and the tree is 

 filled with hav, straw, seaweed, or any substance that is easily 

 comoressed by the growth of the tree ; the trough is kept in 

 its place by three nails driven into the tree below it ; when 

 the tree has .'rown so as to fill the space, the trough may be 

 enlarged by putting in a short piece so as u. answer ten years 

 more A little cheap oil is sufficient to hll the troughs and 

 filling them three limes has been found to answer for one 

 year, by stirring the oil once sometirne after they are h ed.
