where they visited their, sister, Mrs.

Owners of elm and maple trees who
find small reddish or light colored
punches on the leaves will have to
rest as easily as possible for while,
says G. L. Fluke, entomologist at the
Wisconsin Experiment station, for no
control measures for this particular
trouble have yet been found. The bun
cles are gals caused by small mites
which look like tiny spiders. They
live within the gals and thus cannot
be reached by sprays. Undoubtedly
there is some point in the life history
o'f the mites where control measures
can be used, says Mr. Fluke, but SO
Tar there has not been much study OF
these insects and this point has not
been found.
