On small plantings the eggs or
worms can be destroyed easily
by stupping them off branches
with the hands, preferably on
cool, wet days when the cater
pillars are in their nests.
Burning out the nest may
result in damage to the tree.
For control with insecticide,
one application of a DDT
spray (4 tablespoons of 50
per cent wettable DDT powder
to one gallon of water) on in
fested plants is recommended.
Dr Guyton said one applica
tion will give pi election for an
entire season Malathion 25
per cent wettable powder at
the rate of 2 tablespoons to-a
gallon of water may also be
used Spraying should be done
as soon as the first small
tents appeal
Di Guyton urges extieme
caie in handling and applying
these poisons Follow label
directions lully and carefully
