Rv CLARENCE NJ. WEED,

The Fall Webworm is the most
conspicuous orchard insect in August
and September. These insects hatch
about midsummer and begin feed
ng on the green surface of the leaves.
As they move about they spin a filmy
silken web under which they always
remain. As they grow they extend
he web. carrying it over all the
caves they attack. so that the whole
branch will be webbed up by a single
colony before the ceterpillars mature
There is generally, however, some
one part of the branch where the in
sects retire between meals and dur
ing periods of noting. Here the
web becomes thicker and when in au-
tumn the leaves fall, taking with
them most of the gauzy web this shell
ter tent generally remains on the
leafiess branches.
The webworm shelter is very differ
ent from that made by the common
Tent Caterpillar in spring. There are
probably various reasons for this. In
the first place the webworms are
born during the hottesl season of the
year so they do not need to huddle
together in a narrow room to keep
warm as the Tent Caterpillars do in
early spring. In the second place
1t seems probable that caterpillar
that eats only the green surface of
the leaves as webworms do must take
a longer time getting its meals than
does a caterpillar that devours the
whole leaf, so the period of exposure
to natural enemies during eating
would be greatF in the case of the
webWorm. And in the third place,
the webworms are developing at a
period when parasites and predaceous
insects are most abundant. The over
head web must save the lives of
many webworms that otherwise would
be destroyed by their enemies.
But If the web protects the worms
from these insect foes II makes them
easy to see by the orchardist, so that
the only excuse for leaving the pests
to defoliate the tree is dire neglect.

busy laying their eggs II you
see a beetle looking like the drawing
herewith, with nearly cylindrical body
and long feelers, kill it, for it is
capable of much mischief To pre-
vent egglaying, clear away all weedy
growth from around the base of apple
trees so as leave the bark freely ex-
posed to sunshine
Other boring insects are also busy
now laying eggs for grubs that will
work havoc with fruit trees. The
peach tree borer moth is one of the
worst Of these. This is a small day
flying moth that lays its eggs about
the base of the trees. The eggs soon
hatch into grubs that bore into root
and bark and often kill the tree It
is good plan to wrap paper around
the base Of the trunks and then cover
the paper with tauglefoot This has
tendency to prevent the moths from
laying eggs. Another way is to place
lot Of refuse tobacco stems around
the base of the tree. Still another is
to mound up the tree with loose soil
to a height of six or eight inches. so
if any eggs are laid the grubs will
be easier TO dig out
All Of these methods are to be SUP
ps ed in All by careful examina.
