by another a week or ten days later. The 

 spray should be coarse and thrown upon the 

 trees so that it will drop in the upturned open 

 blossom ends of the young fruit. The idea 

 is to put the poison where the young cat- 

 erpillars must eat it when entering the 

 apple. 



There is sometimes a somewhat destructive 

 second brood , which can be checked with 

 difficulty owing to the large amount of foli- 

 age at the time the caterpillars hatch — the 

 latter part of July or early in August. Not 



The fine white "saw=dust" a few inches up the 

 IrunK of the apple tree is the borer's tell-tale. The 

 only effective means of attack is to poke a wire 

 in the hole and so Kill the creature 



all care to resort to arsenical poisons, and in 

 that event advantage may be taken of the 

 insects' habits by banding the trees with 

 either burlap or straw in June. Large num- 

 bers of the caterpillars assemble under such 

 shelters , and should be destroyed at ten-day 

 intervals till the latter part of August and 

 again in late fall. Control in this manner 

 is more effective if the bark of the trees is 

 kept smooth. Fallen, infested fruit should 

 be destroyed by feeding or otherwise before 

 the worms therein escape. Winter birds are 

 valuable allies of the fruit growers as they 

 empty many cocoons, and therefore they 

 should be attracted to orchards and gardens 

 as much as possible. jr. p. Felt.
