Elm Leaf Beetle
In Augusta Now

We read of the ravages Of the elm
leaf beetle in Hallowell, in Auburn,
and other cities, but few realize that
the trees Of Augusta have been for at
least four years infested by this dread
pest. The beautiful old elms of Win
throp street and adjoining side streets
in particular are plainly showing the
ravage wrought by the swarms of
beetles which have fed upon them
this season. The leaves are brown
and in many cases are falling pre-
maturely. A few years of the trouble
and the grand old elms will perish.
A very difficult phase of the trouble
Is the fact that Augusta has no COM
munity spraying outfit. Elm trees
infested by the beetle require two and
sometimes three sprayings year.
1.-The small beetles emerge from hi
bernation at about the time that the
leaf buds are beginning to open. They
begin feeding on the tender leaves.
making small irregular holes. Eggs
are laid on the lower surfaces of the
leaves, and the young Matching out
in about six days begin skeletonizing
the leaves. A second generation oc-
ours in July. Most of the difficulty
found in controlling this insect has
been due to the fact that the trees
have not been sprayed at the right
time. A difference of one week means
the difference between success and
failure. The trees should be sprayed
just as the adults first begin feeding
on the leaves. then again as the lar
vac are Matching, and a third spray
may be necessary when the second
generation are Matching"
The time for the Arst two spray
ings is past, but the second genera
tion are now preparing to hatch.
Imagine the result when this second
horde of beetles covers trees already
nearly denuded of leaves!
People interested may examine the
trunks of their elms and find small
worms hidden away in the crevices
Z, of the bark at the lower part of the
trunk. These worms form small
yellow larvae hidden through the
bark. In a few days the beetles VIII
hatch and fly up to the leaves to be-
gin their work of destruction.
Our trees should be sprayed now
, to destroy this second influx. They
will also need spraying next spring
and summer. And the spraying should
be general all over the city to be
beneficial. Spraying Of few trees by
private individuals will not eliminate
the trouble. We should have a COM
,. munity spraying outfit and we
should have it at once.

HIGHWAY OFFICERS LAUNCH OFFENSIVE

upon the shoulders of these men
with the result that they are remev-

But before they can proceed to
remove the signs or notify their
owners that they must be removed
the officers are obliged to check over

they are not removing signs which
the law cannot touch or leaving
