Loughead, assistant county agent - AH trees should be treated r-gardless-of age or size. Treat!: 1 regularly in the orchard whet! r it appears, to be infested or rv t is a good practice and gives go- 1 insurance against the loss of tret 3. After a tree begins to turn color and the leaves wilt it is too la'e for treatment - The reasons for watchfulness at this time of year are as follows: most of the eggs have been laid and there I little danger of re infestation; most of the eggs have hatched and the larvae will have collected at the crown of the tree near the soil surface. The temper ature of the soil around thm tm will be higher during the next two weeks than any other time later. A soil temperature of at least 55 degrees F. for a period of ten days is necessary for effective control. The soil is still dry enough to make the treatment effective. ) . The material', recommended to is paradichlorobenzene that may be obtained at any feed store or from insecticide dealers in the crystalline form. The crystals give off fumes which penetrate the Bur rows and kill the larvae. ' ' To apply the chemical, level off the surface of the soil about the base of the tree and remove the large masses of gum from the bad ly infested, trees. After levelling the ground sprinkle the crystals in" a ring about the tree. The cir cle of crystals should be about an inch wide and two inches from the tree trunk. When the crystals are in place one should mound dirt around the tree to the depth of six to eight inches. This dirt should be firmly packed. To eliminate danger of tree in jury from the long exposure to the gas, ia mouaai suouia De acrapea away and replaced with fresh soil in four to six weeks. ; ai . i , a The amount of the chemical to use depends Upon the age and size of the tree. One-half ounce should be enough for trees one to three years old, 4 ounce for trees four to five years old and 4 ounce to 1 ounce for trees six years old or older.
