 trouble to be the work of one of the 

 pine borers, Pinus Strobus (white pine) 

 and P. Austriaca (Austrian pine) being 

 favorite plants for the pest. The lead-

way down the center of the rather soft 

 growth, causing it to die. The only 

 remedy is to cut off and burn all af- 

 fected shoots. Examine your other 

 plants closely, and if you see any holes 

 on the leads, either dig out the borer 

 with a sharp-pointed instrument or in- 

 ject a little carbon bisulphide into the 

 hole and plug it up with putty. This 

 will suffocate the borer. These borers 

 are sometimes very destructive, and vigi- 

 lance is needed to keep them in control.

losses amounting to several hundred thou- 

 sand dollars, we note the remarkable fact 

 that thirty-seven were introduced into 

 this country. Then we begin to realize 

 that our crops are as seriously threatened 

 by introduced pests as by native ones. 



Experience teaches us that these intro- 

 duced pests are by far the worst of all 

 our insect foes. Owing to the similarity 

 of plants and animals in Europe and 

 America it is comparatively easy for most 

 of the introduced pests to find an abund- 

 ant food supply in this country, while 

 the natural enemies that prey upon them 

 in the east are not introduced into this 

 country with them. Massachusetts is at 

 present handling an appropriation of 

 $750,000 to control the gypsy moth and 

 brown tail moth, both introduced pests. 

 The introduction of the Mexican cotton 

 boll weevil into the cotton growing sec- 

 tion of our country is another vivid exam- 

 ple of the danger of imported pests. 



The horticulturists and nurserymen have 

 also learned the iesson from the spread 

 of the San Jose scale over the great
