State Warning On.
Pine Shoot Moth
Fairfield County Said to Be Worst Affected Area
Among Red Pine Plantations
New Haven, Aug 18.—A warn
ing against an Insect pest that it
gradually creeping over the pine
woods of this state, is Issued by
the Connecticut Agricultural Ex
periment Station in Circular 80,
"The European Pine Shoot Moth-”
The author is Dr Roger B. Friend,
assistant entomologist, who has
studied the life history of the in
sect and methods of controlling it.
Fairfield county In particular is
threatened with damage; lnfecta
tions of the pine shoot moth are
increasing in red pine plantations
of this section, according to ob
servations of Walter O. Filley, sta
tion forester.
The pine shoot moth injures the
pine by killing the buds and boring
a short distance into the shoot. One
larva may kill several buds in S
cluster during the feeding period.
The growth of red pine, which is
especially susceptible, may be
permanently arrested, and in some
Instances the trunk of the tree is
distorted.
Mid-August, when the worms
have Just begun to bore in the
buds, is the time to start control
measures. ... ,
"The most practicable method or
control is to cut oft the infested
shoots containing the Insects and
burn them," Dr Friend writes.
"This may be done any time be
tween the middle of August and
the first of the following June, but
it is better to do this before the
larvae become active In the spring,
as the insect is then destroyed be
fore the maidmum injury occurs
“The presence of the larva Is
Indicated by masses of pitch ®n “j®
buds, by a few dead needles at the
tip of the-branch, and by the dead
curved buds. This method of con
trol can "be carried out until the
threes are seven or eight feet hign
and should be an annual proce
dure. . ....
MIn view oi me ——:
tions In red pm*, plantation* la
crease In Intensity from yearto
year and that young trees appear
to be particularly .susceptible to
Injury It Is essential that control
measures should be inaugurated as
™oln as the Insect Is discovered
•'Ornamental pines may be ln
fpsted and the inaect will fly from
these ’ to any susceptible species
P* Thed 1 nse^tb has but one genera

Jrom the PUPal cases In the tree
during the latter part of June.

VISITORS MUST GO TO CHURCH
Glasgow.—If you ever visit the
Island of Skye, oft the west coast of
Scotland, prepare to go to chureh
on Sundays or your vleit will be
very short.
The Islanders are strict Sabba
tarians and have ruled that either
visitors attend Sunday services or
no lodgings will be granted them.
The question of Sunday observ
ance was brought Into the lime
light last summer when Sunday ex
' curslons were run by the railway
company to the island despite re
peated protests of the natives. The
islanders, on the threatened boy
cott of the railway, won, and this
year there are no excursions to
Skye.
Services on the Island generally
.last at least two hours, one hour
'for a sermon In English and one
Hot a sermon In Gaelic. It la com
pulsory that church members re
main tor both sermons.
