At the time that these' {inquiries came in. little or nothing I can be done to control this serious] ,menace to our shade trees. The |Control o: this insect can be had] I by a thorough spray of trees during the dormant season witli a miscible oil, The spray can be done any time | after the leaves have faden or before tile new leaves come out in the spring with the temperature above , 40 degrees F.
