The W00lly Aphis.

The woolly aphis is, / think, the
worst OF this horrid tribe Of plan,
destroyers (plant lice)- 1t is &
yellowish green or olivacicus color
and bears long wool OH it's abdo-
men, which gives it it's common
specific name. This louise works
only on deciduous trees, and chief
ly on apple and pear It works
on both twigs and roots, thus there
is a subterranean AS we'll rs IN
aerial FORM From this fact this
louise, like the notorious phylloxera,
is one of the worst specimens of
its most pernicious family. The
woolly secretion, however, is in
our favor, for it reveals the louise
on the trunk and also in the earth.
We dig the fine, tberous roots
many feet away from the trunk
and the plainly visible cotton-like
fibers tell that the foe is there.
These minnie lice, scarcely visible
without a glass, often rest in
groups Of three or more on the
rootlets, and suck the very life
from the trees. As with the grape
phylloxera, the roots become knott
ed or produce gals, which also
reveal the presence of the foe, and
show that ruin threatens the
orchard.
In a recent visit to the. large,
magnificent pear orchards on the
Sacramento river, 1 found many of
the trees showing diseases. Upon
examination, ] found on the roots
everywhere, even to the utmost
these wee sappers. On examina-
tion | found the same true even on
the trees not yet showing disease,
though the lice were not yet SO
abundant on apple trees hard by,
the lice were common on the twigs.
The root lice on the pears seem
less woolly than those on the
twigs, and the roots seem little
knotted, though l found some of
the gals. My friend, MI. Craw,
thinks from this that it is another
species. / am inclined to think
that the varip tom is because of
region and plant, and is not
specific. PROF. A. j. Cook in CAL
