Cleaning Up to Destroy the 

 Winter Shelters 



,P\URING October there is opportunity for 

 ^— ' doing really effective work by a general 

 cleaning up and destruction of all loose ma- 

 terial which may serve as winter shelters for 

 insect pests. Any loose bark on old trees in 

 the orchard should be removed and burned; 

 in that way many hibernating insects, like the 

 codlin moth, will be destroyed. 



In places infested by canker worms, early in 

 the month make all preparations for banding 

 the trees. The fall species will begin ascend- 

 ing during warm spells from about the middle 

 of October, while the spring forms are found 

 upon the trees through March and into April. 



Closely examine shade trees for the egg 

 belts of tent caterpillars, the conspicuous, 

 snowy egg masses of the white-marked tus- 

 sock moth and other indications of insect 

 infestation; on finding them, destroy them. 

 By this detail the probable number of insects 

 for next spring will be enormously lessened. 



Thoroughly clean up the vegetable patch, 

 and remove and burn squash vines as soon as 

 the fruit is gathered, thus destroying many 

 immature squash bugs. This procedure will 

 materially reduce the numbers of this pest 

 another year. 



All old vines, dead leaves, etc., should be 

 collected and burned, in order to destroy the 

 insects seeking refuge therein, among which 

 may be named rose-leaf hoppers, apple-leaf 

 miners of various kinds, and striped cucum- 

 ber beetles. 



Weeds growing along fences and beside 

 ditches bordering on cultivated grounds must 

 be burned as soon as the vegetation is dry 

 enough, because they afford winter shelter for 

 numerous insects, such, for example, as the 

 army worm. e p. Felt, 



New York State Entomologist. 



Seasonable Suggestions 



TN October you can often buy manure more 

 *- cheaply and have it moved before the 

 roads get bad. 



You can have the foundation of a green- 

 house laid any time before the ground freezes 

 — say November ist — but October 15th is 

 safer. 



Have you stocked your winter window 

 garden ? What are you planning to have in 

 flower at Christmas and Easter? 



Roman hyacinths started in early Septem- 

 ber have actually been known to bloom by 

 Thanksgiving! They are the easiest bulbs 

 to have in flower for Christmas. 



PULVERIZED 

 SHEEP MANURE

is equal in fertilizing strength — will go 

 further and is more satisfactory — than two 

 wagon loads of barnyard manure for gar- 

 den and lawn. No waste, no odor, no 

 refuse to blow about or rake up. 





Fall and Spring are best times to put down 

 Sheep Manure and get results desired.
