rooting tree, and cultivation should cease when it would be a dam- 
age to the root system. 
The catalpa sphinx has appeared in many of the catalpa plant- 
ings in the southern part of the State and the trees are twice defol- 
iated each year, and as a consequence the trees make but little 
growth. 
In forest planting in Indiana where the locust can not be grown 
successfully it appears that the catalpa is the most suitable tree 
to plant as a temporary tree between trees that are intended for a 
permanent stand. 
The last year’s growth of the catalpa in our area is frequently 
winter killed until the tree becomes 4-6 years old. During mild 
winters the ends only of the shoots may be killed, while during 
severe winters young trees may be killed back to the ground. In 
case only the end of the shoots are killed it is advised to wait until 
the buds begin to swell and then cut it back to a strong bud. If 
the tree is killed back to, or near the ground, cut it off about an 
inch above the ground.
