  The 
  following 
  pests 
  are 
  recorded 
  in 
  the 
  orchards 
  and 
  market 
  -gardens 
  

   of 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Charabali 
  : 
  — 
  Hyponomeuta

  most 
  of 
  

   the 
  pupae 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  parasitised, 
  and 
  Euproctis 
  chrysorrhoea, 
  L., 
  

   occurred 
  sparingly. 
  Cydia 
  pomonella, 
  L., 
  was 
  the 
  chief 
  pest 
  in 
  the 
  

   village, 
  some 
  orchards 
  having 
  one-third 
  of 
  their 
  crop 
  destroyed 
  by 
  

   it. 
  Eucosma 
  {Tmetocera) 
  ocellana, 
  F., 
  did 
  a 
  considerable 
  amount 
  of 
  

   damage, 
  more 
  so 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  year. 
  Other 
  pests 
  were, 
  the 
  

   beetles, 
  Polyphylla 
  alba, 
  Pallas,generally 
  injuring 
  apple 
  trees, 
  Rhynchites

  In 
  the 
  control 
  of 
  Melolontha 
  melolontha 
  it 
  is 
  advisable 
  to 
  cover 
  the 
  

   soil 
  with 
  straw, 
  leaving 
  a 
  few 
  open 
  spaces 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  beetles 
  will 
  

   oviposit, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  eggs 
  may 
  be 
  easily 
  destroyed. 
  The 
  collection 
  

   of 
  the 
  adults 
  is 
  best 
  done 
  in 
  the 
  morning, 
  when, 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  cold, 
  

   they 
  are 
  unable 
  to 
  fly. 
  Isolated 
  " 
  baifc 
  " 
  trees 
  should 
  be 
  planted 
  near 
  

   plantations 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  desired 
  to 
  protect. 
  For 
  poisoning 
  the 
  larvae, 
  

   carbon 
  bisulphide 
  mixed 
  with 
  an 
  equal 
  part 
  of 
  kerosene 
  is 
  used 
  ; 
  

   balls 
  of 
  cotton 
  waste 
  are 
  soaked 
  in 
  this 
  mixture 
  and 
  are 
  buried 
  in 
  the 
  

   beds, 
  this 
  remedy 
  being 
  specially 
  effective 
  in 
  sandy 
  soil 
  ; 
  it 
  should 
  

   be 
  applied 
  early 
  in 
  spring. 
  Insecticides 
  should 
  be 
  used 
  only 
  on 
  the 
  

   leaves 
  of 
  plants 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  beetles 
  feed. 
  The 
  following 
  recipe 
  

   is 
  suggested 
  : 
  1 
  lb. 
  of 
  Paris 
  green, 
  2 
  lb. 
  of 
  freshly 
  slaked 
  hme,, 
  

   with 
  some 
  flour 
  paste, 
  in 
  about 
  55 
  gallons 
  of 
  water. 
  The 
  " 
  bait 
  " 
  

   trees 
  are 
  useful 
  in 
  this 
  connection, 
  as 
  numbers 
  of 
  beetles 
  can 
  be 
  destroyed 
  

   by 
  spraying 
  them.
