INSECT PESTS 339 out, the soil should be put back to protect the collar of the tree from the weather. Peach Aphis {Myzus Persicae)—The aphis or green louse, similar to that attacking the apple, is also troublesome in some seasons, but in others it does little or no harm. When the trees are attacked the leaves curl up and the lice are to be found inside of these curled leaves. Remedy—Spraying with twenty per cent of kero- sene before the buds start in the spring will destroy most of the hibernating insects or their eggs, and if ten per cent is used a few times in May and June before they become abundant, they may be kept from doing much harm. It is the practice of some of the most careful peach growers to spray as above before the leaves open and then as soon as the insects begin to appear make a thorough exam- ination and pick off the first leaves infested, mark the tree on which it is found, and then spray with whale- oil soap, one pound to four gallons of water. In this way the insects never get very numerous, the leaves do not curl and the few remaining aphides are easily destroyed. Plum Ciirculio—See under the plum.
