the extraordinary abundance of the above insects, the effect 
e presence began to declare itself most evidently late 
Much of the young nursery stock was so seriously affected 
this active growing season that its growth was completely 
L; and as these larvae remained active this year until the 
ill in autumn, a large percentage of the young trees made 
growth whatever. The varieties with thick and woolly 
vere, however, little attacked, the moths having evidently 
the smooth and thinner-leaved varieties when depositing 
*s. We made various experimental attempts upon these in- 
the field, using a force pump for the distribution of a 
emulsion and of pyrethrum suspended in water. We also 
powdered lime with a bellows, but none of these applications

A small percentage of the worms would die when thoroughly
