Remedies. —New Jersey Experiment Station, Bulletin 225, reports 
success with arsenate of lead (4), 5 pounds to 100 gallons of water, 
applied before the leaves are rolled, or about one week after the moths 
appear in the spring. After the fruit is gathered, scatter straw over 
the plants and burn. 
Strawberry Crown Borer.—This is a yellowish-white grub that 
eats into the crowns of the plants. It is the larva of one of the snout 
beetles. 
Remedies. —Do not allow beds to get too old. If badly infested, 
gather only one crop before renewing. Place the new beds some dis¬ 
tance from old ones. Burning over as recommended for preceding 
species is of some value. 
Red Spider. —Often attacks strawberries. For remedies see un¬ 
der Apple, Peach and Pear. 
EASPBERRY AND DEWBERRY 
Raspberry Sazv Fly. —A light green larva about three-fourths of 
an inch long when fully developed, that eats irregular holes in the 
leaves. The small white eggs are deposited within the tissue of the 
leaves by a fly resembling the cherry saw fly. 
Remedies. —Same as for Saw Flies on currants and gooseberries. 
Cane Borer. —Small cylindrical borer that eats into the new shoots 
during early summer, causing them to wither. It remains in the canes 
d\iring second season eating downward through the pith, often killing 
the cnne before the fruit matures. 
Remedies. —Cut off all affected canes and burn while the borers 
are still in them. 
Red Spider and Brozvn Mite. —Often attack the raspberries and 
dewberries. For remedies see under Apple, Pear and Peach.
