WATCH FOR cANKERW0RMS
Il 10 important That Infested Trees b
SPRAYED.
+ + + + + I. + + + + r ++++++


Sprayed.
j. s. Houser. associate entomologist
OF the Ohio experiment station, says
that the parent moths OF the canker-
worm have been observed In consider
able numbers In some sections OF the
state, and IL seems that this well
known insect may do considerable
harm this season. IL will be remem.
bered that the male cankerworm moth
is a dusty miller measuring about an
inch across its spread wings and that
the female Is wingless. appearing
somewhat like spider. The females
emerge from the ground and crawl up
the tree trunks TO the small twigs,
where the eggs are deposited. With
the expanding OF the leaves the eggs
hatch and the striped measuring
worms or caterpillars begin eating the
foliage. If the worms are abundant
and no attempt Is made TO control
them the trees may be entirely de
foliated. When the branches are jar.
red the caterpillars let themselves
down by silken thread.
The caterpillars are most easily kill.
ed when they are young; therefore it
is important that the infested trees be
sprayed as soon as the tiny newly
Matched larvae begin feeding, and at
this time 1t is necessary to observe
quite closely In order TO find them.
For control purposes use arsenate Of
lead paste. four pounds, or arsenate OF
lead powder, two pounds, TO each fifty
gallons of water. Special precautions
should be taken to thoroughly spray
the tops OF the trees. since It is there
that the fhost severe injury is done.
Not only are apples attacked. but
many of the shade trees as well. OF
the latter linden. elm, maple, hawthorn
and others suffer severely.

Raise All Sort. of Flowers.

There will be no dearth of flowers
hereafter In this country, especially OF
those which were formerly grown In
Europe and the demands for which
were very strong among flower enthu-
siasts. This Is the summing up OF the
results OF the war situation In Europe
by the Retail Florists association.
New floral industries are 6ourishing
In the southern states now, and plants
heretofore grown In southern France
and southern and northern Italy and
imported TO America are now being
grown i'm the south. In a short time.
IL is stated, the European product will
be forced out OF the American market
entirely. The American public, which
idolizes flowers. can now get almost
everything home grown. and, though
the change has been brought about by
war conditions. florists have been
taught the lesson that what at one
time they believed was impossible Is
now easy OF solution.
