BAND THE SHADE TREES NOW
state Entomoloslst Of Indiana Warns
Against tho Deadly RaVages of
tho Red Spider.

c. H. Baldwin, state entomologist
of Indiana, says that by taking ad-
vantage of the tree situation early
this year, Indianapolis owners OF
shade trees may be able to prevent
much OF the annual destruction due
to insects.
soon as the earth begins to
warm Mr. Baldwin said, the tree
owner should band his trees with
some sticky material This will ar
rest the upward movement of the red
spider, one Of the worst enemies of
the shade tree, particularly the elm,
oak, linden and like trees. The
spider hibernates during the winter
in the earth at the roots of the trees,
and as soon as warm weather sets in
energies and starts up the tree, there
to live all summer. The sticky band
will prevent his early spring Journey
"Of course there will be some red
spiders in the trees, because OF eggs
laid there last summer, but the band
Ing. will do a lot toward saving the
trees.
The banding will remain on the
boles of the trees during the summer,
and will be valuable in preventing the
caterpillar, the bag worm moth and
the tussock moth from ascending the
trees and eating the leaves. OF course
there are many cocoons OF these
moths in the trees now, but the band
ing will go long way toward pre-
serving the foliage and saving the
trees. By removing the cocoons In
the trees, the moths can virtually be
eradicated. ii the banding is done

Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur, but the en-
terprises have usually been given up
as improbable. According to the bio
logical survey Of the United States
department of agriculture, the chief
causes Of failure have been cost of
fencing Enclosures, cost of mainte-
nance or lack OF experience, leading
to overcrowding and overlooking the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals were successfully reared, it
was found that the expense of feed
ing them to maturity exceeded the
value Of the fur, while in other In
stances the antipathy Of the neigh
bors led to the abandonment Of the
experiments. At present the value of
the best black skins would probably
allow margin Of profit in rearing
this class OF skunks. The survey
gives the following hints on skunk
farming:
In the matter Of food, the chief aim
should be to supply suitable and suf-
ncient diet at reasonable cost. A GER
tain proportion Of meat is necessary,
but the animals eat also bread, green
corn, clover, tomatoes and many other
