Ways to Treat Caterpillars.

10 response to letter of inquiry sent
to the state University, Prof. d. W.
Colby OF this to su, recently received the
following from Prof. W. M. Monson:
My dear Colby
Yours of May 18th to Prof.
Harvey has been handed me for reply.
Your trees are evidently attacked by the
forest caterpillar which is causing 80
much trouble throughout the State.
The remedy usually employed in fighting
this pest is Paris green applied when the
insects first hatch. Judge, however,
that at present the caterpillars are near
ly full grown aud have done about all
the damage that they will on some trees,
indeed, about all that they can. The
usual remedy after they reach this stage
is to pour hot water, or Kerosene, or
very strong soap suds over them when
collected 10 masses on the sides of the
tree as they may be found once or twice
every day. Sometimes you can check
them by spraying the tree very forcibly
with water and causing them to drop To
the ground and then placing band of
paper covered with lard and sulphur
(using equal parts OF each) about the
trunk of the tree thus preventing their
return.
