Show w- Answer by Prof. E. G. Titus, A. C. U. At the present time the best remedy reme-dy we know for woolly aphis is 'to dig the soil away from the tree for .1 distance of eighteen inches to two feet, or further according to the size of the tree, digging it down until the larger roots are reached. Into the k hole thus formed pour tobacco solu- I lion. (If one of the sheep dip tobac- 1 'o solutions is used, make it one to I fifty). After this is soaked in quite I thoroughly the hole may be filled in. I This may need to be performd twice, ft and has so far been very effectual in m ridding trees that architected. Dur- V ing the summer when the woolly aph- ft is is present on the trunks and W branches of the trcs, they should be I sprayed with a totfacco tsolution, one B to seventy-five. Spraying with lime and sulphur cannot be successful in S exterminating those that arc left on H the roots, since it reaches only those fl oo the trunk. fl |
