I Pecan Twig Girdler May Cause Damage Pecan twig girdlers, most serious pest of pecan trees in North Caro- . lina, are again about their deadly ] work in pecan groves and in trees • planted about homesteads in thej State. The-insect is rarely seen but it’s i damage is all too evident. It gnawsj about the twig, lays eggs in the softi bark and later the twigs break j away from the parent limb through! the action of the wind or from its own weight. , — "Only the female cuts the twig but both sexes feed upon the ten-i der bark and wood of the tips of j the branches,” says C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State Gcilfege. "The branches arte cut by the female to provide suitable! conditions for the development of i the young larvae. These are un able to exist on wood containing sap. The eggs usually hatch in about three weeks and the winter is spent in the larval state in the! twig.” Brannon says the beetle causing the damage is about one-half inch in length He says about the only! way to control the pest is to gather up all the cut branches, including those lodged in the trees, and burn them this fall and winter. Most of the damage is done in late Aug-' ust and through September though the operations of the beetle may, continue until cold weather. To secure effective control, whole communities should unite in destroying the fallen pecan twigs. ] In this way all the eggs and larvae which would develop into other 1 beetles next season will be wiped ; out. The insects also attack per- < simmon and hickory trees and it 1 might be wise to gather the twigs s from these especially where they i are near pecan groves, Brannon 3 says. c Crowds Melodrama of Half Dozen Movies in Her 18 years., rhe True Story of a Girl in the iands of Smugglers, White Slaves ind Other Uuscrupulous Scoun Irels Is Told in The American Weekly, the Magazine Distributed zith Next Sunday’s Baltimore American.
