Fort Collins, July 3.-The following
bulletin has been issued by the state
agricultural college here:
The Cherry and Pear Tree Slugs.
The slugs have already begun 20
hatch in the warmer orchard sections
OF the state. and wherever they ase
found appearing in any considerable
numbers upon the leaves Of the cher
~, pear or plum trees the trees
should receive an application of ar
senate OF lead. Black Leaf Extract.
or white hellebore before It Is too late
to save the foliage. II the arsenate OF
lead is used, apply in the proportion
OF about three pounds to 100 gallons
Of water. Use a fine spray and apply
1t so as to moisten the upper surface
Of the leaves upon which the slugs
feed
II Black Leaf Extract Is used apply
in the proportion OF one part TO sixty
FIVE parts of water. II the stronger
preparation known as BLACK Leaf
30" is used. apply in the proportion
of one part to about seven or eight
hundred OF water
.. White hellebore should be used in
place Of the arsenate Of lead where
there Is danger of poisoning fruit that
IS soon to be used, and may be ap-
piled In the proportion of one ounce
20 each three gallons Of water. This
poison is best used late in theiafter-
noon and should also be SO distribut-
ed as to fall upon the upper surface
of the leaves as much as possible One
application OF any OF these poisons
should be sufficient to rid the trees
almost completely OF the slugs. but
IL others should hatch later 1t may be
necessary to repeat the application.
This insect appears in two broods,
the second one usually appearing
about the first week in August The
second brood comes after the cherries
are picked and is often the more de-
structive. as the slugs at this time OF
the year often almost completely de-
foliate the trees and SO weaken them
that they are not able TO live over
winter and put out leaves the follow
ing spring.
