TIME TO WAR ON ORCHARD PEST
Early April Period for Spraying and
INSPECTION

| The importance of the few weeks
! just previous TO the opening of the
| leaf buds on apple trees as a period
for effective insect control is urged
| by the commissioner of agriculture.
The bark of all trees infested by
scale insects and which were not
sprayed last fall should be thoroughly
covered with lime-sulphur, or a sub
stitute material of recognized worth,
at this time. The Connecticut valley
towns of Windham county stand in
greatest need of this spraying owing
to the presence of San Jose scale;
but the prevalence of oyster shell and
European fruit scale in many orchards
throughout the state demands the
treatment generally.
Trees which have been infested by
the spring canker worm in the past
two or three years should be banded
with tree tanglefoOt or other sticky
material non injurious to the bark
as early as possible in April. The
adult moths of these dark colored
Inch" or measuring worms trans
form from the pupa stage in the
ground. The females, being wingless.
are obliged to crawl up the tree
trunks to deposit eggs. Banding, there
fore, affords high degree of protec-
ton. Severe infestations of these in
sects cover but small areas, but such
sections have been literally distribut-
ed about the state in recent years,
especially in Addison, Rutland, Ben
nington and Windsor counties.
Although comparatively scarce in
most sections, the egg masses of the
tent caterpillar. should be searched
for and picked from the twigs before
the middle Of April. At the same time
care should be taken to remove all
ether egg masses, such as those Of
the tusseck moths, and all cocoons
and webs which may be found
In all such work careful watch
should be kept for the presence of the
egg masses of the gypsy moth and
nests of the brown-tail moth. The
known infestation of these insects in
the state is limited to the eastern
border. Should the brown tail be To-
Gated elsewhere or the gypsy moth be
discovered or suspected at any point
immediate notice should be given the
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Specimens of all stages of the
gypsy moth may be seen in the public
Libraries.
