Clemson College, November 30? At this time of the year numerous inquiries are received in reference to the falling of pecan twigs, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist. This is caused by the pecan twig girdlers. This beetle is about one half inch long and. lays'its eggs in the small twigs of pecan and hickory trees. After these eggs are laid in the bark the twigs are girdled at ^ some point between the tree and where the eggs occur so that when a little later these girdled- twigs are thrown to the ground by gusts of wind every egg and every grub comes to the ground with them. If these twigs are. allowed to remain on the -ground1 ' '-until la'te* iii; the, spring "the beetles coming from them will girdle the pecan twigs next year. Make it a point to gather these fallen twigs during December and again in February and be sure to burn them. If you have hickory trees -near the.pecan, trees, treat' them likewise:* * The- Trunk Borer. ,Theu.irisects boring into the trunk; and larcer limhs of oecan trpes I should be controlled as follows: If you have ' no syringe get a small glass eye-dropper from the ^rug store and a little carbon bi-sulfide or chloroform and inject one or two eye-droppers full of one or the other of these chemicals into the burrow and close the opening of the burrow with parafin, putty, or beeswax. To close the openings with wooden plugs is not effective and is inju rious.
