O. Weiss, horticultural inspector for the Lyndon district, has issued the following information In regard to combatting the tent caterpillar, for the assistance of the people of the I Lyndon district: The apple tree tent caterpillar has for its favorite food the wild cherry, apple, plum and alder. When exces- sively abundant, apple trees are fre- quently completely defoliated and killed. Destructive outbreaks usually oc- cur for two or three years only and are then followed by a longer period during which the species is rarely noticed; this periodic fluctuation is thought to be the result of complicat- ed relations exisiting between the caterpillar and its parasites and is a good illustration of the ups and the downs of insect life. The winter is spent in the egg stage, the eggs being elongated, thimble- like, about 1-25 of an inch long and laid In masses cf about 300 to 400, I usually encircling a small branch as a broad band. The whole egg mass is covered with a brownish gluey troth which protects it from the weather. Control ?In the orchards which are well ;;prayed as for codling moth the tent caterpillar- are rarely trouble- some?the young larvae are killed by arsenate of lead powder?one pound to 50 gallons of water. When prun- ing, keep a look out for the conspic- uous egg rings and remove and burn them. The nests may be removed by wip- ing out with the hands; this should be done while the caterpillars are at home which is usually during stormy weather and in the heat of the day. ; Burning out nesls is not to be rec- ommended as there is danger of in- juring the tree. Burned areas in the bark tften develop cankers that may (destroy the entire branch and burn- ing In ittelf can kill the limb.
