PEACH PESTS 1567 wash, three times a season, the first ap- plication to be made the last week in March, the second application during the second week in July, and the third appli- cation about the first of October. For trees apparently healthy hut slightly at- tacked—Paint the trees with a thick coat of whitewash three times each season as in the previous treatment, applying it to the trunks and larger limbs. The white- wash applied at the time specified will act as a repellent, the emergence of the beetles being slightly later than the dates given for the different applications. Add one-fourth pound table salt to each pail of whitewash, thus making the latter more adhesive. All of the dead, or nearly dead, limbs and trees should be removed and burned as fast as they appear in an orchard, as this will destroy the breeding places. v'-r A t^ H. A.
