SHADE TREES LOSING FOLIAGE
Insect Attack Causes Premature
Shedding Of Leaves From Trees

Shedding of Leaves From Trees
Many Of the shade trees through
out town are shedding their leaves,
due to an attack from a small green
insect known as the green aphis.
While no permanent harm is done to
the trees, it is nevertheless an un-
slightly sight to see the town streets
strewn with sticky leaves. The green
aphis that is causing the trouble is a
small insect about an eighth Of an
inch long, that can be found on the
under side of the maple leaves. It
does not cut, but sucks the sap until
the stem becomes weak and breaks
off and falls. A sticky substance
found on the leaves and on the pave
ment under the trees is the excreta
from the insects. While a number of
sprays may be used to get rid of the
insects, water is found to be just as
good. Heavy rains or if a dry spell,
using a hose frequently will soon free
the trees Of this pest.
