Fruit Trees Need Attention Now.
Many inquiries are coming into this
office regarding the little green and
black lice affecting the apple, plum,
| cherries and even the ornamental
shrubs A great many of our or
chards are affected with this trouble
this year. Lime sulphur used for
! cooling moth or the arsenate sprays
will not affect these insects. They do
not eat the foliage as do the currant
worms. They are not of the biting
and chewing class of insects, they
belong to the sucking class OF in
sects. Sprays used to combat the
lice must be contact spray, there
fore the only spray that is effective
and best to apply at this time is mic
| otine Sulfate," better known by trade
name as BLACK Leaf 40" Apply one
pint "Black Leaf 40" to 125 gallons
4 olI of
soap in solution.
| Spray when twigs and leaves are
dry, applying as much as possible to
underside of leaf, as this is where
| the lice work. In order that this
spray be effective it must be fine and
all insects must come in contact
with the material.
1t may be necessary to spray the
orchard more than once to control
/ this insect. Don't fail to look over
the orchard and if it is effected get
after it. The control of the insect
means much to our future fruit
crops.
Your Assistance Please.
