they push out in the spring. The tiny 

 animals bore small holes from the un- 

 der side of the leaves into the interior, 

 where they lay their eggs. This causes 

 the small, pimple-like gall on the upper 

 surface of the leaves. The spots later 

 increase in size, sometimes to one- 

 eighth of an inch, and on the pear tree 

 are red and often brilliantly colored as 

 they grow. In the case of the apple, 

 the eruptions lack the more brilliant 

 coloring and are found more along the 

 margin of the leaf. In both cases the 

 spots finally turn brown or black, and 

 if the pest is abundant the leaves be- 

 come ruptured and wrinkled. 



More than 250 varieties of apples are 

 attacked by the mite, injury being es- 

 pecially eevere on some well known 

 commercial sorts, such as the Ben 

 Davis, the King, Baldwin, Ehode Island 

 Greening and the Williams Favorite. 



Where orchards are seriously in- 

 fested, as has been noted in New York, 

 lime-sulphur washes give excellent re- 

 sults. They avoid the injurious effects 

 upon fruit buds which sometimes result 

 ,from the use of oil sprays. The wash 

 should be applied thoroughly, coating 

 the twigs and branches. 



A standard solution of kerosene emul- 

 sion also may be used. The stock solu- 

 tion should be diluted with five parts 

 of water for spraying purposes. One 

 application should be given in the late 

 fall, as soon as most of the leaves have 

 fallen, and another in the following 

 spring, before the trees put out foliage. 

 If it is possible to give only one treat- 

 ment, the sprays should be used in the 

 fall. At this time many of the mites 

 have not yet gone to the bud scales, 

 but occur in the down covering the 



ioung wood, and hence are more easily 

 illed. 



Describing the leaf blister mite, 

 showing how it may be recognized and 

 giving methods for its control, the U. S. 

 Departm^ent pf Agriculture has issued 

 a new farmers' bulletin, No. 722, en- 

 titled "The Leaf Blister Mite of Pear 

 and Apple. ' ' This may be had upon re- 

 quest.
