Several of the common plant lice (or aphis family) are responsible for the trouble which is quite prevalent in and around Union and which should receive attention at once. The insects seem to attack cherry, apple and peach trees in preference to others; the terminals of young growth and leaves are infested, the leaves being curled and warped and protecting the sucking insects on the under side of the leaf. The defored, crumpled and unnatural condition of the foliage makes the pest easy to locate. Very securely hidden in the leaves are the eggs, lavae and adult upms consuming or diminishing very repidly the vitality of the tree from its leaves where the processes of food assimilation occur. The disturbance is rather unusual in this section and in the opinion of the writer may, at least in part, be attributed to unusual weather conditions. Soap or tobacco form the base for best control methods, the former at the rate of about one half pound to fifty gallons of water, and thoroughly dissolved is very good. Kerosene emulsion is also excellent, and tobacco or any form of nicotine added will assist in cleaning the leaves of the lice. Where kerosene emulsion is used it should be diluted to the point where it will be sufficiently strong to destroy the lice yet not injure the young and tender foliage on which the insects are found. The applications should be made with a good spray pump, on calm day, and with a good spray pump on calm day, and with sufficient force to reach all parts of the infected leaves. "C."
