Senator Baldwin, whose, home is in the northern part of Pennsylvania, has called attention of State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Harrisburg, to the unusual outbreak of tent caterpillars this year. This is one of the pests which Is begin- ning to appear in accordance withthe statements published by Prof. Surface, in January, to the effect that this would be an unusual year for such pests as Aphids or Plant Lice’ June Bugs and White Grubs, Cut ‘Worms, and Tent Caterpillars. Senator Baldwin says that through- out the northern and central portions of Pennsylvania the caterpillars are so in evidence upon practically all wiid cherry and most neglected fruit trees them. These pests are conspicuous on account of the large tents which they make in the forks of branches, and which they leave to travel the leaves for food. They cause great damage by eating away the leaves, which for trees perform the functions of both lungs and stomack. This causes a new set of leaves to develop on new twirs, which meanslate growth a weak: d tree, poor fruit buds, no crop thi: year, special dangers of win- ter freez uy next winter, and but little crop for he next year, on trees that are permitted to remain badly infested by pests this spring. Dr. Surface recommends destroying tent caterpillars by one of the follow- ing means: 1. Spray as the young worms or larva appear, using a quar- ter of an ounce of Paris green or an ounce of of arsenate of lead in fifty gallons of water. 2. Cut of the infest- ed branches and burn them. A cer- tain amount of pruning at this time of the year is more beneficial to the tree than injurious. 3. With a brush on the end of a pole twist out the nest, and dip this into a vessel containing kerosine or any other oil or into hot water. 4. Load a shot gun with a. good charge of powder and plenty of paper wadding, but no shot, and then shoot them out. Do not attempt the too common practice of trying to remove them by burning the tents. It takes only a small amount of heat to injure the bark of a tree and make it commence to die, or permit fatal blight germs to enter where thus injured. Trees are more easily injurned by burning than is generally believed. The poorest possible way cof getting rid- of ten caterpillars Is by burning Wild Cherry trees, seedling fruit trees, and all old and worthless fruit trees, should be cut down and burned as a general means of horticultural sanitation in getting rid of insects and plant diseases. The little black wild cherry is worthless, and the tree is a pest breeder. Orchards that are reg- ularly sprayed, as for the codilng moth, will not be injured by other pests which are here mentioned. “IN A BAD WAY”. MANY A MEYERSDALE READER WILL FEEL GRATEFUL FOR THIS INFOR- MATION. If your back gives out; Becomes lame, weak or aching; If urinary troubles set in, Perhaps your kidneys are ‘‘in a bad way.”’ Don’t delay—use Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is worth. good evidence of their street, Berlin, Pa., says: ‘‘I have had no reason to change my high opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I recommend them just as highly to- day as I did in October. 1907. Ihave not had to take a kidney medicine during the past several years. I was severely troubled with kidney and bladder complaint. The kidney se- cretions were irregular in passage and it often seemed as if my Kidneys were not acting at all. I also suffer- ed from acute pains in my back. When Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to me I began using them. They acted just as repre- sented and it was not long before I had relief. My advice to other kidney sufferers is to give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
