Small Fruit Pests.

Garden vegetables are remarkably
free from diseases and insect pests
This is due to the fact that they are
nearly all ANNALS and they are grown
In small qualities and on different
locations every year or so.
Small bush fruits, on the other hand,
are almost certain TO be seriously dam
aged by number of parasites unless
they receive the necessary care to pro-
tect them. The conditions under
which this class OF back yard crops
grows is favorable TO the development
of these pests
The plants are long lived and fire.
quently carry the larvae or the spores
OF their respective parasites over from
season 10 season. AS handled by most
people, the diseased stems, leaves and
fruits are left Oh the ground about the
bushes. and parasites propagate in
such rubbish with vigor.
Probably the most general and the
most destructive pest encountered Oh
the bush fruits is some form OF foliage
eating worm, like the larvae of the saw
ny. There worms appear almost as
soon as the leaves are out and they
will soon strip the entire bush of its
foliage unless they are promptly ex-
terminated. 1t is fortunate that they
can be killed very easily if properly
treated, and the treatment will apply
equally well with any leafeattng
worm.
The saw-tiy's eggs are laid on tho
