Keep Trees Green )
If you have the type of a tree-,
holder that permits the tree trunk
to rest in water, you will find that
a small amount of plant food dis
solved in the water will aid in re
taining the needles on the tree,
and keep the needles green. If you
use a pebble or rock-fiUed pail to'
support the tree, cover the peb-,
bles or rock with a plant food
solutibn.
Use one teaspoonful of plant
food, powdered form, to each gal
lon of W?<er in the container, or
use one plant food tablet to eachj
gallon.

During the dormant season we
should examine our shrubs and
fruit trees closely to see if they
are infested with scale insects.
If you do not know what scale in
sects look like, call in your coun
ty farm agtent or some horticul
tural friend who is familiar with
them. If your trees are infested
with scale it is important that you
do something about it.
Scale insects are very small

selves to the twigs, leaves and
branches of shrubs and trees and
proceed to suck the life out oi
them. As soon as they are at
tached to the twig they construct
a tough scale covering over them,
selves for protection. That is why
they are called scale insects. The
scales are usually white or gray
in color.
? In order to kill the insects it
is necessary to use spray ma
terial that Will penetrate the
scale covering. Such a sprpy
would be too strong to uste dur
ing the growing season because
it would also damage the plants.
Therefore, we must spray for
scale insects during the dormant
season when the plants are not
growing and deciduous trefcs are |
?free of leaves. The miscible oils, i
such as Volck and Scalecide, and
Lime ? Sulphur solutions are ef- i
fective ' in controlling scale iiv
sects when used according to the
manufacturers' directions. Oil
sprays should not he used in freez
ing; weather. Because of its fungi

trees it Is preferred to use Lime
Sulphur spray late in the.dormant
season..
Also at this time of the year we
may find a number of spindle
shaped cocoons or "bags" hang
ing on the twigs of our narrow
leaved evergreens. Many of these
"bags" contain eggs of the bag
worm which will hatch out into
caterpillars in early summter.
These caterpillars will eat the
foliage of the evergreens and will
protect themselves by spinning
new bags in which' they live while 1
they feed. Later in the summer
they will change to adults and the
females, will lay epgs in their cor (
coons. For control of bagwonms
all cocoons on the trees or shrubs
during the winter season should
be picked off and destroyed. Dur- :
|lng the summer the Caterpillars
may be killed with a DDT spray:
or an arsenical spray.
