infected stems will show dark brown refuse about the entry hole. 
The U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology 
suggests the use of lead-arsenate at the rate of 6 pounds to 
50 gallons of water, to be used as a spray. As there is some 
danger of arsenical injury to the trees, two or three pounds 
of hydrated lime for each pound of lesd~-arsenate, should be 
added to the spray mixture. One shouid also watch the trees 
for evicence of arsenical injur7. 
Soray in early spring as soon as the buds have well opened 
so as tc kill the adult beetles before they lay tneir eges. The 
new growth will need to be kept covered by repeated sprayings 
about a week apart, probably three or four spvayings shoulc de 
enough unless you have a neszby sourse of infection. Spray any 
butternut trees growing nearby, or if’cf no value rencve them 
if possible. Do not spray unless you acttially have the curculio. 
We do not reccommend theoplkentings of ether hnsartauss or 
English walnuts within & mile of a iarse nunber of butternut or 
other wild trees that are infected with butternut curculio, 
Continuous spraying year after year would prove too expensive 
also the trees might not stand it.
