The second common species was
found mostly in cities and towns on
shade aud ornamental trees and
shrubs. 1t is solitary caterpillar,
j. g., it makes no nests and forms nc
colonies. 1t has bright red head, a
row of four yellow tufts looking like
round paint brushes on its back, and
long pencils of black hair at either
end.
These caterpillars came from the
brittle white masses of eggs which
remained on trees and elsewhere
through the winter, and each shifts
for itself as soon as it finds place to
feed. Early in July the larvae be-
come full grown and spin thin SORT
of cocoon on the trunks or branches OF
the trees or on fences or any where
else where the least projection affords
foothold. In a week or ten days
the moths appear, and of these the
males and females are very different
in appearance. The males have broad
dusty gray wings expanding about
an inch when spread. The females
have no wings at all and are gray,

be marked with black dots and when

PLAGUE OF

tion."
Professor John B. Smith, entomolo-
gist of the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment. Station at New Bruins
wick, to whom the Chronicle
wrote concerning the caterpillar
plague, which has been prevalent not
only in Morris county but generally
throughout the entire state, sent an
illustrated reply which is gladly re-
produced, as follows:
During the season of 1901 there was
an unusual increase in the number Of
caterpillars attacking fruit and shade
trees throughout the State just what
combination of conditions caused SO
marked rise of the two most promi-
nent forms we cannot say definitely
but in one case at least it was not en-
tirely unexpected. The insect that at
tracted most attention was the fall
web worm: so called because it be-
comes most abundant after mid-sun-
mer, and because 1t lives in colonies

grub like creatures that cling to the
cocoon from which they emerged.
In due time eggs are laid on this same
cocoon and these are covered by g
white frothy mass that becomes hard
and brittle after few hours exposure
to the air By the middle of July,
or earlier the second brood of cater
pillars appear, and they come to
to full growth in September Moths
hatch as before and the eggs that re-
main over are laid in October
AS to this species the probability OF
an attack may be determined by any
one who cares to look for the egg
masses. They are very conspicuous
now, from their white color; but be-
come less SO as they are coated with
dust and dirt and stained by rains,
etc. Taking the state at large, / an
ticipate almost as many as were pres
ent this year, but this is not true OF
all localities.
Measures against this species are
somewhat different from those used
against the previous species. During
the winter gather and burn all the
egg masses wherever they are seen
and. If possible. clean the trees com
pletely. If this is properly done they
will soon remain free from these
pests, because as the female has nc
wings and cannot fly some caterpil-
lars must first crawl on again from
some other point. To avoid this, band
the trees with some contrlvance that
will prevent the insects from reaching
the foliage. All sorts of fittings are
In use--metal troughs, tin cones, fly
paper, tar and numerous others The
simplest effective band is one of cot.
ton batting. First smooth the trunk
so that the material will fit close,
then tie band six inches wide with
a thick soft cord or tape SO that the
smooth or glazed side is against the
trunk and the fluffy side is out. Tie
about two inches from the lower edge
of the band and then turn down the
upper four inches so that it forms a
sort of sloping roof or inverted fun
mel arrangement. This brings the
glazed surface ont and that sheds wa.
ter to some extent, making il less easy
to soak by rain. Any caterpillar
reaching this band will get entangled
in the fluffy cotton which gives nc
foothold and will drop OF return.

accommodation as to spraying foi

an epidemic disease, and many others
were parasitized. 1t is always the
history Of these native pests that
when they 'get loose SO to speak,
for a year or TWO. their natural enem-
les increase in equal proportion and
pull them back to harmless numbers.
I believe that this year was the limit
of present increase; but I may be in
error, and if SO next season will be
worse than the present. The question
Of remedies is therefore in order.
These are, burning out the nests as
fast as they are noticed campaign
torch is excellent for the purpose-or
spraying with some arsenical poison.
The burning answers well for few
nests on medium sized trees; but is
not satisfactory when orchard or
shade trees in any number or OF any
size are to be treated. Burning also, if
carelessly done scorches considerable
foliage and kills twigs, SO when there
are many nests, the remedy may be
nearly as bad as the disease. Prompt
spraying with paris green, green
arsenoid or a-senate of lead will be
absolutely effective, and will kill off
the colonies in short order. AS in all
similar cases the man who watches
closely will be most successful and
spraying should be done just as soon
ss the young nests are noticed. If
paris green or green arsenoid is used
the strength may be lib. in 100 gallons
of water. It the arsenate of lead is
preferred it should be lb. i'll so gal
Ions of water. Ia the orchard and for
shade trees the paris green and green
arsenoid are best in the garden and
on choice fruits, shrubs or ornamental
plants, arsenate of lead is better.
