small mite, barely visible. If allowed to become 
numerous on evergreens that mite will, through its habit 
of sucking sap from the foliage, cause them to lose their 
characteristic colors and assume a “rusty” appearance. 
Red spider can readily be controlled by the employment 
of one of the following methods: 
1. Syringe the foliage with water under pressure from 
garden hose or power sprayer, taking particular pains 
to secure a forceful spray applied from underneath the 
foliage. 
If ball of earth appears hard and dry upon arrival soak 
it in a tub of water before planting. Leave saucer around 
base of tree so that drainage will be towards tree. Do 
not put fresh manure in hole so it comes in contact 
with the roots. Use well-rotted manure and spread it 
on the ground after tree is planted and hole fdled up. 
Keep ground well cultivated or mulched. When water¬ 
ing see that ground is soaked to a depth of 12 or 15

2. Dust with sulphur liberally on a warm day, using 
a superfine commercial brand of dusting sulphur. 
No injury will result from any of these treatments. 
Syringing with water is also the best way to remove dust 
and soot in smoky situations. This should be done at 
regular intervals of a week or two in the summer and 
occasionally in mild winter weather. Avoid spraying 
an evergreen in the middle of the day as water alone will 
sometimes result in injury by scalding at such times. 
Repeat treatment six days after first application to kill 
young spiders escaping in egg stage and remember that 
applications should be made as often as necessary be¬ 
cause of continual reinfestation.
