Memory of America’s war dead
in the first World War will be hon-
ored here on Saturday, May 24,
when everyone will be asked to wear
a memorial poppy in tribute to their
service and sacrifice.
Plans for the observance of Poppy
Day are being completed by the
American Legion Auxiliary of Dad-
dow-Isaacs Post, under the leader-
ship of Mrs. Ralph C. Antrim, Pop-
py Day chairman.
The memorial flowers, made by
disabled war veterans, will be of-
fered on the streets throughout the
day by the auxiliary women, and
high school children from Dallas
Borough, Dallas Township and Leh-
man High Schools.
One thousand poppies which the
auxiliary will distribute here have
been made by disabled veterans at
veterans’ hospitals. All Poppy Day
workers will serve as volunteers and
all of the money contributed to
them for the flowers will go into
the welfare funds of the Auxiliary
to carry forward the Auxiliary’s
work for the disabled, their fam-
ilies and the families of the dead
during the year ahead. The sum
of three cents: is paid to the dis-
abled soldier who made the poppy
and the remaining amount is divid-
ed between Veterans’ Hospitals and
Child Welfare work.
Eastern Tent
Caterpillars
Bppear Again
Pests Increase As
Natural Enemies
Tend To Disappear
Eastern tent caterpillar once again
makes its appearance in great num-
bers in Luzerne County, states J. D.
Hutchison, county agent.
Four years ago the Eastern Tent
Caterpillar became a very serious
pest in this county and since that
time dwindled down to almost noth-
ing until this spring.
It is the habit of this particular
insect to go in cycles of two to four
years. This decrease in caterpillars
is due to the natural parasites that
feed upon them. When the para-
sites predominate the tent cater-
pillar is in the minority and if the
parasites decrease the caterpillars

of intensity every four to five years.
Between these spells ‘of abundance
this insect is kept in check by nat-
ural agencies, chiefly parasitic in-
sects, bees and birds as well as un-
favorable weather conditions,
The life history of this pest is
that the moth or adult emerges
late in June or early in July and
deposits eggs in masses around
pearance. The eggs hatch early the
following spring just as the new
fruit buds are showing green leaves.
The young caterpillars feed on the
opening buds but soon start spin-
ning a web in the fork of a branch
to form a nest. All the caterpillars
from a single egg mass inhabit this
nest. The caterpillars remain in
the nest except when feeding and
may be found there on days that
places under rough bark and on
buildings, etc., and it is from this
cocoon that the adult moth appears
late in June.
Control
Removal of egg clusters during
the winter and burning them is a
practical and efficient method of
reducing the number of eggs that
would hatch the following spring.
Removal of the pests by using
A
is a second method. Remove the
nests when the caterpillars are in
them and not after the mature cat-
erpillars have left the nest. Nests
that are removed should be burned.
The burning of the nests on the
trees is not recommended on ac-
count of danger of injury to valu-
able shade trees for burning them
will injure the bark.
Spraying with arsenate of lead
mence spraying early since the
young caterpillars feed on the leaves
as they unfold from the buds.
So many requests have been re-
ceived by the Luzerne County Ag-
ricultural Extension Association rel-
ative to the control of this pest,
that it is felt advisable to urge all
people who have nests on their
premises to remove these nests by

this pest would be reduced consid-
erably next year but if not done
this year we can expect a heavier
infestation in 1942.
