RED SPIDERS.
A Plague of These Insects Infests the
Orchards Around Lodi.

A Plague of These Insects Infests the
Orchards Around Lodi.
Millions of small red spiders have attacked
a number of orchards around Lodi, and are
doing great damage.
According to the Stockton Mail the pests
made their appearance during the very hot
spell of some ten days ago. They did not
come gradually, but seemed to appear all at
once. The ground, it is said. is red with
them. One orchardist whose trees have
been attacked says:
"The insects seem to attack the eastern
side Of the trees, where the foliage is
thicker. They lay their eggs all over the
leaves. and when the eggs begin to hatch

no holes are eaten in it-but the young
spiders seem to draw the juice out. l have
examined the eggs under the microscope
and could see hundreds of them on leaf.
The spiders themselves are not hard to
kill, but it seems almost impossible to de-
stroy the eggs. The insects multiply very
rapidly. Even an application of water will
kill great many of them. have tried
Paris green and a patented wash on the
trees, but the stuff did not seem to affect the
eggs, for they Matched just the same. /
tried lime water few days ago, and that
seemed to kill some OF the eggs, but l was
afraid OF getting the mixture too strong and
injuring the trees. ] am going to continue
using the lime water"
This same authority says the spiders seem
to be the natural enemy of the almond tree,
but at Lodi seem to take anything they
can get, even attacking the peanut vines of
one resident there.
No one seems able to tell where the spiders
come from, they seemed to spring from the
ground. Cold weather is hard weather, and
one or two cold nights might kill them all.
1t is said sulphur would probably kill the
eggs, but it would be hard to get it in the
leaves. One party whose trees at Wallace
were attacked claims to have killed the eggs
by washing with sulphur. potash and whale
