orchards and to shade trees and or
namental shrubs in Cities parks and
cemeteries have occasioned a great
deal of loss in the past three or four
years.
The bagworm is easy to control, at
least upon trees of moderate size.
There are two methods of destroying
the pest, by collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. If the
bagworm is restricted to only a few
trees, one can easily collect all of the
bags In the winter when the leaves
are off. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective, If care
fully done. IL does not work so we'll
on evergreens and, of course. is out
of the question In very large orchards
or groves. In such cases II is neces-
sary to spray when the young cater
pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
in the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The
first regular application OF poison for
the codling moth. just after the bios
SONS fall In the spring. will also con-
troll the bagworm In orchards. One
careful application of poison before
the first of June will usually control
the pest either upon fruit, evergreen
or shade trees.

Orchard Should Have Care

Many farmers pay little attention TO
the trees until time for the harvest.

crop. No orchard can be expected 10
