PROTECTING TREES AGAINST WORMS
The bandage system, which we were the
first to suggest some fifteen years ago, and
often referred to since, is the only efectual
protection we have seen against the opera
tions, of the worm in fruit trees. We repeat
again thatin not single instance have we
everhad wormin our dwarf pear trees where
this system wasproperly followed 1t is sim
ply to bandage the bottom of the tree with
any kind of muslin or cloth and tieit, letting
the bandage be about six inches above ground
and two inches below. 1t should be applied
In FEBRUARY or as soon as the ground is in a
fit condition to go. upon. These bandages
should be removed at the end of October
As long as this is Continued we defy the
worm. The bug lays It's eggs an inch or two
above the ground early in the spring, that is
as soon as the warm days in March viii ad-
NIT of It's coming forth from its winterquar
ters; the eggs are soon hatched by the sun,
being laid on the sun-side of the trunk, and
the young grub finds its way down to the
soft bark beneath the soil where it gradually
works Its way In. The bandage prevents
both the laying of the eggs and the descent
Of the grub. Let doubters try it. One
man viii bandage twohundred treesin day.
We have no doubt it win also protect the
peach tree In the same way.
