TIMELY ADVICE.
Fruit Trees Should Be Sprayed and Insect
Pests DESTROYED,

DSooAoJSus
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, July 20.-As you invariably
display the greatest interest in every
thing which affects the welfare of San
ia Fe, or which threatens its prosperity,
it would be we'll through our columns
to draw the attention of owners of gar
dens and orchards to the fact that our
pear and cherry trees are again infest-
ed with the cherry slug (selandria ce-
RASH, which did so much damage two
and three years ago. This insect
from an egg deposited upon the surface
of the leaf in the latter part of June to
the middle of July by a small black
fly, and the grub, which resembles an
almost black slug about a half inch
long when fully grown. feeds upon the
upper surface of the leaf and reduces
the foliage of the tree to mere skeleton
lied leaves. The lungs Of the tree are
thus destroyed, the fruit never attains
maturity, and repeated attacks of this
pest kill the tree in a very short time.
Our cherry and pear trees are now in
tested with this pest, and strenuous eff
fort should be at once made to destroy
it. There are many ways of killing the
slug, but the best method is to spray
the trees with a solution of kerosene
emulsion and some London purple. or
with concentrated I've and London pur-
pie, the proportions being 8 unces pur-

think this latter better than the kero-
sene, because it will wash off ripening
fruit with the first shower of rain.
| Will. the coal oil clings for a long time.
Small trees that are easily reached can
| be busted with ai~r-slacked lime or I'M
leached wood ashes, but several appli-
| cations are necessary, as the eggs do
not all hatch at once. It would be well
also to remind growers of fruit that the
| first batch of the codling moth grubs
are now matured and crawling out of
| the early apples, which are falling to
| the ground. These grubs, if not trapped
| or in some way destroyed, will in about
ten days to two weeks emerge from
| their cocoon as moths, and will lay
| their eggs upon the winter pears and
| apples and make the late crop Wormy
as usual. The best way to prevent this
is to band all the trees with strips of
| gunny sack or batting and to examine
these bands every week and crush the
worms found spur up in the sacking,
Their replace the band to catch more;
the trees must also be again sprayed
with London purple or paris green (pro-
portion l pound to 200 gallons of wa
ter) and lime. Every one is we'll aware
that the season of 1899 was an almost
total failure for fruit, n therefore
there are fewer insects to fight this
year than usual; a little extra exertion
and expense this year will be most eff
fective, and will go a long way toward
checking the apple grub and cherry
slug, but the work must be done at
once and not neglected until it il too
late. Trusting that I have not tres

space, the great Importance of this
