fare Against This Pest.
70 orchards and to shade trees and or
aamertal shrubs in cities, parks and
cemeteries have occssioned 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 few
trees, one can easily collect, all OF the
bags in the winter when the leaves
are OF. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective, II care
fully done. It does not work 50 well
On evergreens and, Of course, IL out
OF the question In very large orchards
or g7oves. In such cases 1t IL neces-
gary 70 spray when the young cater
pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
In the spring. Early spraying should
be practtced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The
2rst 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 win usually control
the pest either upon fruit evergreen
or shade trees.

of warm basket weaves. honeycomb,

with long streaners and tassels; the
bottom Of the skirt Is very narrow, re-
lieved by a split which opens with
hooks or buttons, and all of the full
