INSECT CONTROL.
Next Few Weeks the Time for EMec-
tive Work.

The Importance Of the few weeks Just
previous TO the opening Of the leaf buds
on apple trees as q period for effective
insect control is urged by the commits
sioner 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 n substitute material OF
recognized worth. at this time. The Con-
necticut river valley towns Of Windhain
county stand in greatest need OF this
spraying. owing 20 the presence Of San
Jose scale; but the prevalence of oyster
she'll scale and European fruit scale in
a great many orchards Throughout the
State demands the treatment.
Trees which have been infested by the
spring canker worm IN the past two ar
three years should re banded with tree
tang!efoot or other sticky substance,
non-injurious to the bark, as early as
possible in April. The adult moths OF
these dark colorcd inch or measuring
worms transform from the pupa stage in
tho ground. The females being wing'ess
are obliged TO crawl UP the tree trunks IN
order to deposit eggs. Banding. there
fore, affords high degree Of protection
Severe infestations OF this insect cover
but small sections, but such sections nave
been literally distributed about the state
in recent years, especially In Addison
Rutland, bennington and Windsor cOun-
ties.
Although comparatively scarce 10 most
sections. the egg masses Of tho tent cater.
pillar should be searched for and picked
from the twigs before the middle or Apr''.
At the same time care should be taken to
remove all other egg masses, such as those
of the tussock moths. ana all cocoons or
webs which may be found.
In all such work careful watch should
be kept for the presence of gypsy moth
egg masses or the hrown-tail moth nests.
The known infestation of these insects In
the State is limited to the eastern border
Should the brown-tail he located else
where or the gypsy moth he discoverec
or suspected at any point immediate no.
tice should DO given the commissions. OF

Wide patriotic sentiment. practically
Ill lines OF manufacturers are strained

exceptions. but as, a whole the demand

caused by enlistments and the activity
among the State militia. With general
wholesale lines. buying in many lines

though among dealers in foodstuffs
there Is a noticeable falling off in trade

favored this crop. Rain of the week
and warm weather have retarded the
work and runs" Certain towns in
Windham county report good runs but
these are from orchards in higher al
