THE “ STUNT ” OF PEACH TREES. 
H. TV. G., Union Pier, Mich .—On page 3 
I read a question from II. S., St. Catherines, 
Ont., asking some one to tell him the cause 
of trouble with young peach stock which 
had the terminal buds eaten out, and an 
answer by E. S. Black. I do not wish to 
detract anything from this able answer, but 
would like to add one suggestion, i. c., ex¬ 
amine the ground about an inch deep im¬ 
mediately around the young trees, and see 
if you do not find the climbing cutworm. 
Wo have had identically the same trouble, 
and have found without a doubt that it is 
the work of this worm. Three years ago 
they ruined the crop on about 400 Elberta 
trees for us, but at that time we could not 
tell what was the cause. Their method of 
working was to eat the center out of the 
blossom buds shortly before they were ready 
to open. Last year I found several young 
trees eaten as described by H. S., and in 
every instance upon investigation found the 
cutworm in the ground at the root of the 
tree. Should this be found to be the cause 
of the trouble they may be killed by the use 
of 50 pounds bran to oue pound Paris green, 
mixed thoroughly dry and then moistened 
and scattered In small quantities where 
the worms are troublesome. Of course, pre¬ 
cautions must be taken that chickens or 
farm animals do not get this poisoned bran. 
Ans.— The stunt described by H. S. 
in his Canadian peach nursery is some¬ 
thing that almost every peach nursery 
grower has experienced, and has been 
thoroughly acquainted with for years, 
and is not the work of the climbing 
cutworm. When the stunt strikes a 
peach nursery about the last of June to 
the 10th of July, it is easily noticed by 
the experienced eye. The whole nur¬ 
sery, or parts of it that the stunt has 
appeared in, causes every tree to take 
on the appearance of a completed 
growth, and a change in the coloring of 
the foliage from a light thrifty green to 
an unnatural dark green color and a 
stagnated appearance to the whole tree. 
In a week to 10 days many of the trees 
will send out new shoots, mostly from 
the lower part of the stem or tree, 
which will make a rapid growth for a 
few days, when it will be checked in the 
same way as the first growth was stop¬ 
ped. This continues until late in the 
Summer; then the trees are so crooked 
or bushy that they are unsalable. The 
climbing cutworm seldom injures nur¬ 
sery trees, but sometimes it cuts off the 
young terminal growth, the result of 
which is the same as the pinching out 
of the terminal bud, and might cause 
a branched top, but not the stoppage of 
all growth in the tree. I referred this 
letter of H. W. G., to Dr. John B. 
Smith, and his answer coincides exactly 
with my experience with the climbing 
cutworm. Dr. Smith says: 
“The attacks of the climbing cutworm 
are totally different from those of either 
the thrips or any other insect that works 
in the growing tip itself. Climbing cut¬ 
worms in nurseries are rare. In or¬ 
chards, especially those that are allowed 
to become overgrown, they may be 
tolerably abundant, and in those cases 
they are very apt to eat into buds early 
in the season, just as the correspondent 
describes. What is known as stunt is- 
never due to * cutworm attack. Cut¬ 
worm attack is always recognizable by 
the fact that the tip is actually chewed 
out, and it is something that comes over 
night. You can see next morning the 
fragments of leaves that have been 
chewed off, and that is something that 
never occurs in what is known as stunt. 
In some of the Southern States they 
accuse a mite of working the same way 
that the thrips docs in Xew Jersey, and 
as a matter of actual fact I suppose 
that there are several different causes 
producing similar results. Cutworm at¬ 
tack, however, can be so readily dis¬ 
tinguished from the checking of growth 
that there should not be any chance 
for confusion. In the case of cutworm 
attack, the remedy suggested by H. W. 
G. would be entirely appropriate.”

Do You Spray? 
Tens of thousands of trees 
sprayed with 5wif t’s Arsenate 
of Lead produced last year 
not one wormy apple. Innu¬ 
merable farmers have greatly 
increased both quantity and qual¬ 
ity of yield from vegetables and 
fruits by spraying with Swift’s. You 
are standing in your own light if you don’t take advan¬ 
tage of this wonderful insecticide. One spraying with 
Swift’s outlasts two to four sprayings with other ma¬ 
terials because it takes a torrential rain to wash it ofT. 
It can’t burn or scorch. It doesn’t clog the pump. It 
mixes readily with water and stays in suspension. It is 
fatal to every leaf-eating pest.
