Protect Shade Trees
OF Monmouth County

Insects, disease and mechanical in
jdries due to carelessness and ignorance
cause the death of hundreds Of trees in
Freehold every year. There is a
good opportunity for better manage
ment Of shade trees; both those that
line the streets and those. on private
property for there are many diseases
and Insects VIII CHI feed from them
continually.
DIR. w. H. Martin, state plant path
ologist, as well as E. b. Scovell as
sistant state forester, have recently
examined a number Of shade trees in
Monmouth county and feel there is a
big opportunity for improvement in the
care they receive.
One insect that possibly stands at the
head Of all others in the amount Of harm
it does to shade trees, is the wooley
aphis. Aphis are respecters of very few
varieties as they infest elms, naples,
balsam and many other trees. They
can be detected by several signs; by
the dropping of the leaves which have
bright gluey coating and by a cottony
substance along the ribs on the under
part of the leaf. This cottony appear
ance can often he noticed along the
OttI ~ II u uI1h anu LII ~ dtSOs
Wooley aphis can be controlled with
a whale-oil soap and nicotine spray.
The soap is first dissolved in water at
the rate of one pound to four gallons OF
water. To the mixture add 40 percent
nicotine solution at the rate of one part
to 500 parts Of water The spray must
be applied with considerable force and
a thoro covering Of the tree should be
made.
The whale-oil soap is used to make
the spray stick to the leaves and where
it is not available, cheap grade Of
yellow laundry soap can be used at the
same rate.
The tent caterpillar is another insect
especially everyone is familiar, especially
after its ravages of last spring. At the
present time on many trees the brow
nish, gluey egg masses of this insect
may be seen surroundings small twigs
and branches. These masses remain
until next spring when the worms and
tents will again appear. Spraying now
might help in a small measure to de-
strop the egg masses, yet the most
effective control would be to wait
until the first appearance of the worms
in the spring when the trees should be
sprayed with arsenate of lead at the rate
for two pounds of the powder to 81
gallons of water
Commercial concerns which go from
one town to the other spray shade tree:
should be encouraged provided careful
work is done by men who know their
business. 1t would be better yet fol
municipality to own its own equipment
and in this way combat the various in.
sects and diseases as they appear t.
destroy the trees of the community.
