male bags reach a length of about
an inch while the female bags are
very much larger, several inches.
In August, the larva completes its
growth, attaches its bag firmly by a
silken band to a twig, strengthens
it inside with an additional layer ot
silk, and within this retreat, which
nos becomes its cocoon, transforms
to pupa with its head downward. The

Although apparently well protect-
ed from the attacks of birds by its
tough case, the bagworm Is some-
what extensively parasitized by sev-
eral forms of ichneumon and cbalica
flies, most of them species which af-
fcet also similar tree-feeding cater-
pillars.
The gathering of the bags with
the contained insects by hand is a lhal weighs heavy on his heart
very effective remedy, if the treed
are small. The bags should be burn-
ed. On evergreens, where the bags
are more or less difficult to find, the
hand picking can not be advised. For
these trees, an arsenical spray is
the best remedy. At senate of lead is
not at all likely to produce scorching
of the foilage of shade or ornament-
al trees or shrubs. Its natural ad-
hesiveness Is enhanced by the addi-
tion of atiout the same quantity by
w'eight of resin—fishoil soap as of
the arsenical used. For the spray
mixture use:
2 pounds of arsenate of lead to
50 gallons of water. As the bag worm
do not feed in masses and the poison
must be directed so as thoroughly to
it will be eaten with the leaves. The
treatment should be thorough and
coat and remain on the foliage w here
the application made evenly in ord-
er to secure the best results.
The best time to apply the arsen-
ical spray is at about the time when
the eggs hatch or a day or two after-
wards But although the eggs have
hatched now. it w iM be very effective
to spray the affeeteii trees as the in-
sects are constantly eating,
may have to spray more than
to rid the tree of the pe«ts.
Every citizen in Commerce should
aid in the checking and ridding th<-
community of the bagworms by kill-
ing them with the spray mentioned
just as soon as they make their ap-
pearance. As long as one citizen al-
lows the insects to breed upon their
trees all the trees in the community
are liable to the attacks. Citizens in
one block might work together in the
eradication.
