wash off the poison of the first application. The Kedzie ar- 
senite of lime may be used in place of the above poisons if 
preferred. 
In addition to one of the above mixtures use the fob* 
lowing: Put burlap bandages on the trunks about June 
15th and remove them every seven days to kill the larvae 
and pupae under them until the last of August. Then leave 
them until winter or early the next spring, when they should 
be again removed and the worms beneath them killed. The 
prompt destruction of fallen fruit will destroy some of the 
worms, but not a large proportion of them, probably about 
15 per cent. Keep screens on windows and doors of cellars 
and fruit houses where apples are stored to prevent the 
moths that hatch in these places from fiying to the orchard. 
Scald in boiling water all boxes and barrels that have 
recently contained apples, pears or quinces. 
THE APPLE FLEA-BEETLE. {Haltica ignita 111) 
A small metallic-green beetle, about one-eighth of an 
inch in length, that eats holes in the leaves and jumps or 
takes wing quickly when disturbed. 
Remedies.— Use London purple or Paris green in the 
proportion of one pound to i6o gallons of water; or use 
these poisons dry, diluted with fiour. The Kedzie arsenite 
of lime, or arsenate of lead, would probabl}^ be equally effi- 
cient. 
Dusting the foliage with lime, plaster, ashes, or tobacco 
dust, will usually drive the beetles from the trees, but these 
applications will not kill.
