TUSSOCK MOTH Is
INVADING OTTAWA

A new pest is threatening the or
chards and shade trees in the form Of
the trussock moth. This year when
fruit is Of such great value, the moth,
now in its most destructive form, is
devouring the leaves and eating the
skin from the apples in the trees
Unless prompt action is taken to save
the trees from this army of worms
it Is feared that half of the trees will
be killed before the people wake to
the knowledge of their loss. In some
places the grapes are completely
stripped Of their leaves and the vines
killed. Only the pine trees are exempt
from the ravages Of the pests.
j. r. Rider, of Rockford, has appeal
ed to the Bureau of Entomology at
Washington in regard to the treat
ment for the tussock moth and has
been instructed to use arsenate Of lead
as a spray on the trees already at
tackled by the moth and as they are
it will be possible to save other trees
by binding the trees with cotton satur-
ated with oil or painting the trunks
with tar. The moth has made its APP
pearance in East Ottawa at several
points
The moth can be easily recognized
by the following description: Length,
about one and half inches. small
fiat head, red. Has two hairy antennae
at the head and a single one near the
tail The worm is dirty white with
brown stripe down the back; this
stripe is dotted with red, The center
of the back Is marked distinctly with
tufts of white hair, One has five tufts
and the other four, 1t builds cocoons
/ in every sheltered crevice in the
/ ,rees aud under the Notwithstanding
of the houses One means of reducing
/ the number of the pest will be to des-
1 troy as many of the cocoons as pos
sible. and make generous use of arse
ate Of lead
This warning should be Needed by
the residents Of ottawa for the beau
tiful trees are the pride of all La Sale
county and we can not bear to think
of allowing this obnoxious pest to des-
troy them when little care will save
them.
It is claimed that this moth, which
IL new in this country, was brought
from Europe by scientist and that it
escaped from the box in which it was
confined Word was sent out through
the east to kill as many as should ap-
pear but it has multiplied and spread
this far on it's westward way, destroy
ing as it goes.
