Badly infrsted trees should be cut and burned before the beetles 

 have had an opportunity to emerge in the spring or, in Indiana, 

 before the middle of ilay. Infested portions of other trees should 

 also be cut awtn- and burned. Removing portions of the bark has 

 also been recommended. The badly infested portions should be cut 

 away and the grubs destroyed and, where a few are working in 

 living bark, it might be well to remove the upper layers until the 

 grubs are nearly exposed and then brtish over the shaven surface 

 with strong kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap solution, finally 

 covering the wotmd with a paste formed of a mixture of fresh cow 

 dung and lime or with a coat of cheap red paint.
