The Apple Tent Caterpillar.
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.

If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps your kidneys are ‘‘in a

Don’t delay—use Doan’s Kidney

Here is

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.”
