journed to meet at Spencer, the third
Wednesday, Of June, 1897.
Dice McLaren, eutomolog,st at the
state agricultural college, comes to the
aid OF those whose elm trees are being
ravished by a worm which is stripping
the trees Of all the leaves. Many beau
:iful trees in Madison have Been com.
pletely stripped of their leaves by this
caterpillar during the past week and our
citizens will be pleased to learn how to
get rid of the pest. He says: The cat.
erpillar of the Antiopa butterfly, Envan
essa antiopa, is unusually abundant on
the elm trees this summer. The young
elm leaves are the favorite food Of the
larva or grub. 1t is covered with tufts
OF short spines, is marked with brown or
black, and may grow to a length Of one
and one half inches. For a few in.
tested elm trees the best treatment will
be to hand pick the young caterpillars
from the ends OF the twigs. The leaves
may be sprayed or sprinkled with Paris
green. Thoroughly mix one ounce Of
Paris green with ten gallons of water and
apply with a force pump and nozzle, or
even with a sprinkler or broom. A table
spoonful OF Paris green may be thoro
ughly mixed with q pail of water. One
ounce of Paris green may be we'll mixed
with three pounds OF slaked lime, or Of
plaster paris and busted on the leaves
while wet with dew. After rains the
spraying or sprinkling must be renewed.
Paris green is deadly poison, and should
be carefully guarded from children and
farm animals. The young caterpillars
eat the poisoned leaves and are killed.
All the elm caterpillars should be killed
now that an increase Of the pest may be
prevented, and these most beautiful
shade trees be insured to us.
