burned during the winter and this is
the surest means of control. Some
clusters will escape even the keenest
observer and many insects will appear
during the spring. When they first
appear the trees should be sprayed
with poison so that the caterpillars
will be destroyed when they eat the
foliage. Arsenate of lead is the
poison usually used for such spray
lngs. When the paste arsenate OF
lead is used it should be diluted two
pounds in every 30 gallons of water.
If it is used in a powdered form one
pound only should be used for the
same amount of water.
After the tents have been formed
they may be destroyed by applying
burning torch to the cluster in the
tent. A servicable torch can be made
by rolling a piece of screen wire into
the form of a funnel, attaching the
small end Of the funnel to long pole
and filling it with rags or cotton
waste. Soak the rags in kerosene
oil and apply match. If the torch
is held just beneath the tent the
caterpillars will drop into the flames
and be destroyed.
1 am often asked If it pays to fight
the tent caterpillars when the sur
rounding orchards and nearby timber
are infested with the insects. Under
such conditions the grower is work
ing under difficulties. but even then
it will pay to spray, pick off the egg
clusters and destroy the tents The
best time to control the insect is just
as soon as it appears. A few days of
neglect may mean the defoliation Of
the tree.

The tent caterpillar is one of the
worst of the orchard pests in Western
Washington. 1t is leaf feeding in
sect and is quite common wherever
tree fruits are grown in the United
States. Trees when attacked in
force are soon defoliated and the
tents enlarge as the caterpillars grow
until often they become foot or
more in diameter and protect hum
dreds Of insects. Defoliation is
sometimes so severe that the tree is
weakened and the development OF
fruit prevented. The winter is pass
ed in the egg state, the females de-
posting their eggs during the sum-
mer in belt-like masses encircling
the twigs of the tree and then cover
ing them with sort of brownish
froth which drys and forms a tough
protective coat which is impervlous
to water. This egg mass may contain
two or three hundred eggs and repre-

sents the entire product of a single
female moth. The young larvae
(caterpillars) usually hatch early in
May and begin to feed on the foliage
very soon. If no foliage can be
found they have the power of living
several days without food. They
have a wonderful appetite, however,
and it has been estimated that one
insect when almost grown can devour
two leaves daily. Soon after birth
the caterpillars begin to form their
tents. Sheets of web are extended
across a nearby fork of a twig and as
the insects enlarge they increase the
size of the tents. The caterpillars
usually feed twice day on the foliage
retreating to their tent at night and
when not feeding. In five or six
weeks they become full grown and
then measure one and one-half or
one and three-fourths inches in
length. The body of the apple tree
caterpillar is black and hairy with a
white stripe down the back and on
each side are a number of short ir
regular longitudinal lines. On the
sides are paler lines with spots and
streaks OF blue. The forest tree cat
erpillars differ somewhat from the
common apple tree species, one OF
these differences being row of 10 or
II diamond shaped white spots on the
back. In this locality a very COM
mon caterpillar is light brown in
color with a row of black spots down
the back, becoming quite hairy when
full grown.
When the caterpillars reach matur-
ity they leave the trees and search
suitable places to hide during the
chrysalis stage. An old fence is a
favorite place to hide. They spin
yellowish oval shaped cocoons which
are very tough and give good protec-
ton. In few days the larva changes
to brown chrysalis and in two or
three weeks the moth energies. The
moth does not have a tongue or tube
for feeding and after the eggs have
been deposited the moth dies. Many
fruit growers pay no attention to the
insect until the trees have been de-
foliated and the damage done.
There are several methods Of keep
ing the caterpillars in check. The
egg clusters may be picked off and
