that will certainly kill it if brought in contact with 
the same. The fault lies not with the material but 
the mode of application. You should begin in winter 
by scraping off the rough bark around the crevices 
in which the pest is sheltering. All the scrapings 
should be burnt. Then rub the paraffin into the 
crevices by means of a stiff half worn brush. Doubt¬ 
less there may be insects upon the roots of the trees 
and which will spread up the trees in summer. Un¬ 
cover the roots carefully, and, scrub the worst of 
them with strong soap suds ; then pour in a sufficient 
quantity to soak all the surrounding soil and cover up 
the roots again. Watch the trees in summer, and 
upon the slightest appearance of a fresh attack, apply 
the paraffin again each time the blight is seen. By 
persistent effort you will be able to destroy those 
which may have escaped on previous occasions. 
Prevent them from reaching the winged state if 
possible. Instead of paraffin you may use methy¬ 
lated spirits, kerosene emulsion or Gishurst Com¬ 
pound with which to scrub the affected branches, 
avoiding the buds and leaves
