The tent caterpillars are numerous
on the apple trees this season. If they
are not promptly removed they injure
the tree and affect the fruit product.
A good way To remove them is to attach
a corn cob to a pole sufficiently long to
reach them up the tree; saturate the
cob with coal oil, apply lighted match
and thrust the torch into the tent. a
rag could be used as substitute for
the corn cob, but the cob is better, as
il don't burn so rapidly. BE careful not
to let the torch injure the limbs of the
tree.
