prove of interest and benefit to
the apple growers Of this district.
Regarding the specimens sent
in by yourself as coming from
the orchard of Mr.. Alex Hender,
will say, there is no question as
to the specie, it being one of the
larger apple tree borers. The
Flat Headed Apple Tree Borer,
the adult of this insect being q
form of beetle, the upper surface
of the body being metallic brown
and when matured has the body
covered here and there with
patches of a powdery substance
easily rubbed off, the body under.
meath the wing covers is a bright
metallic greenish hue, the male
insect being smaller and with
green heads.
This insect is diurnal in habit,
being active in the heat Of the
day, can often be found on pros
trate logs or injured trunks bask-
ing in the sunlight, they are ac-
tive creatures, run rapidly and
fly readily.
The borer attacks diseased or
dying trees, inhabits all parts of
the trees, its injury is often con-
fined to trees that are improper
ly pruned, fortified, ETC., in fact
anything that produces weakness
in the trees is inducive to attacks
Of borers.
Ny obervations in this valley
have lead me to believe that trees
attacked by sun scald are subject
to attack. In fact believe
much of the trouble attributed to
this cause is in reality work of
borers.
Infestation may be detected by
discoloration of the bark and
many are of the opinion that the
work is confined to apple trees.
Such is not the case, as it may af-
feet apples, pears. peaches,
mountain ash, oak, maple, box
elder, hickory, chestnut. willow,
currants, cotton wood.
abits-About the middle Of
May the adult beetles make their
appearance. The female deposit
ing her eggs upon the trunks, in
cracks and grooves under the
bark, usually several eggs are
found together. The eggs are
yellow in color, ribbed and about
LIS inch in length; from these are
Matched the larva that work just
beneath the surface of the bark
and require a year to mature. |
During the time it is in the wood
it works, making very irregular
broad flat channels. Itconstructs
its pupal case within the wood;
spends about three weeks in pu-
patton then cuts its way out.
Remedies White wash the
trunks of the trees up as far as
possible in tracts known to be in
tested; careful, clean cultural
methods are very essential; cut
out diseased, dead or dying wood.
The trees should be kept in ex-
cellent growth so that they may
be as resistant as possible.
Spraying OF trees will not pre-
vent borers, so if they are once in |
the trees they must be dug out |
by the aid of a wire and sharp
knife by tracing the borer out un-
der the surface and then cutting
down to them, being careful to
save as much Of the trees as pos
sible.
