that the spiders must be killed in the

"Red Spider Exterminator. This
material IS manufactured for the trade

solution put in the ground around the
base of the tree kills the alternating
red spiders almost Immediately and
does thorough job. By giving the
ground treatment and the tree treat

To Fruit Growers:

During the past two or. three years
have found that my berry fields
have been attacked more or less by
red spider and believing that many
other growers have already, or will
experience the same difficulty, | have
been anxious to get formula that
would be suitable to apply on not
only our berries but any other foliage
that is attacked by the red spider so
as to not only destroy the spiders
but the eggs.
From what [ can learn the eggs OF
the red spider are about the size OF
the point of pin and hardly visible
to the naked eye. They are round.
transparent, pale with whitish bodies
that tHrn pale red few days after
Matching. They are fastened to the
foliage by glue-like substance and
take from one to two weeks to. pass
through the Matching period, the
length of time depending in a large
degree upon the weather. They are
fastened in most instances to the leaf
stems and veins of the leaves. After
the young spider is Matched and for
the first two days of it's life it is red,
then it appears to mott and is pale
yellow or pale green. Bunches OF
little white shells that can be detect
ed on the leaves are the molted skins
of the young spiders. The eggs that
are carried over during the winter
begin Matching at the first appearance
of leaf growth in the spring and will
continue for a month or more. The
spider lives from three to four weeks
during the summer and molts three
times. Spiders aud eggs can be found
upon the leaf growth during the
entire summer months. About
August 1st to the latter part OF Sep
TENDER the matured spiders drop to
the ground where they hibernate
during the winter under clods OF dirt,
stones and sticks and various other
forms for hiding
In going through the berry patches
you will frequently detect leaves that
are turning yellow or pale green the
spots usually being from the size of a
pin head and larger. This indicates
that the spider has destroyed the
skin of the leaves so as to absorb the
sap. All deciduous fruit trees, rasp-
berry plants, blackberry plants, cur
rants and gooseberry plants, in fact
all bush fruit, are infected and very
frequently the grass and weeds will
be covered with them. From the best
information that l can gain | believe
that the following solution is the most

To Kill the Red Spider
By w. HI. PAULHAMUS.


pounds flowers of sulphur, two pounds
whal oil soap, six pounds whole wheat
flour made into paste. To make flour
paste in large quantities place the ex-
act number of pounds of flour needed
for the desired quantity of spray in
a box which has a wire screen bot
tom. Place over cooking vat.
Pour water at the rate of one gallon
to each pound of flour, through the
-four. Do this until the flour is mix
ed smoothly and is free from Jumps.
1t is the flour paste that makes the
spray stick so that it will have action
over a period of from three to five
weeks, sufficient to kill all living
spiders and the future young broods
of spiders as they hatch. Boil the
soap in water at the rate of one gallon
of water for each pound Of soap The
soap is necessary SO as to make the
sulphur mix with the water and also
tends to form a film of spray over
the leaves. Agitate ten or twelve
minutes very thoroughly before start
ing to spray.
In Investigating the red spider
question found an article in Better
Fruit" written by Prof. Trumbel Of
Wenatchee which I believe is to the
point. quote from Prof Trumbel
as follows:
''Don t spray on the ground in large
quantities or use in period Of damp
weather without the addition of eight
or ten pounds of lime made into milk
of lime. Moisture and warmth for
several days will cause the formation
from the flowers of sulphur of in
furious quantities Of free sulphuric
acid. The milk Of lime will prevent
this by reacting with the sulphuric
acid. Keep up the pressure so that
driving spray leaves the nozzle. This
is necessary in order to break the
webs and be sure to thoroughly spray
the leaves under the webs. Since
most of the webs and spiders are on
the under sides of the leaves it is
necessary to direct the spray up a
good share of the time. The spray
nozzle must be bent at an angle of
thirty to forty five degrees to the rod
in order to do perfect work. One
careful treatment will kill all the pest
but the spraying must be thoroughly
done. The usual method of going
over tree will do little good. To
completely control the red spider it is
necessary to kill them in the ground
as we'll as upon the trees for there
are usually enough spiders in the
ground ab0ut the trees for a confirm

in kerosene; light the torch and hold
it to the tent. the insects as they
become hot will leave the tent and
drop into the burning cone and be
destroyed. A burning rag on the
end of a pole without the wire cone
will burn out the tents but will not
catch the worms as they drop and
many of them crawl up other trees.
SIS it too late to spray for apple
scab?"
Apple scab has been forming on the
young fruits and leaves for some time
but ii the grower has not sprayed for
this disease or has only made the
cluster bud spraying he should not
neglect to make another application
as soon as possible.
Lime sulphur solution is the most
desirable material to use as spray
for apple scab. At this time of year
it should be diluted to strength OF
about one and half to every fifty
gallons of water.
