During a dry spell in January spray the upper parts of the trees with a mixture of the same strength and again treat the trunk with spray. In February or March trim out carefully, and cut every twig and branch that the tree can safely spare. The object of this trimming is to get rid of those small spurs and twigs that are moet | difficult to wet thoroughly by a spray, and which would be most likely to harbor isolated scales. The object of spraying first, before cutting out, is to retain the greater surface to catch the spray, which will run down the srotches and branches that are left, caies very small percentage of scales and some trees will be entirely cleared. | Thereafter the trees should be closely watched in early June.
