the last application be omitted, but that the first and second appli- 

 cations be made very thorough. 



It is realized that the control recommendations given for this insect 

 are not altogether satisfactory, but in the light of present knowledge 

 they are the best that can be offered. Further detailed investiga- 

 tions are now being made to determine, if possible, a more effective 

 method of controlling the pecan nut case-bearer, as well as other 

 pecan insects of economic importance. Some time must necessarily 

 elapse before reporting on these investigations, and in the meanwhile 

 pecan growers are urged to use the control measures recommended.
