Na . TT WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 : 7 INSECT PESTS ATTACK TREES Forester Warns Residents to Destroy Destructive Caterpillars APHIS IS PREVALENT Cold, Wet Season Respons- ible for Invasions According to Thomas J. Lynch, Win- netka village forester and premier of that science on the north shore, a group of insect pests are attacking trees and shrubs in the north shore district at the present time. Of these, Mr. Lynch classes the caterpillar as the worst. Unless the ravages of this invader be promptly checked, it will play havoc with the noble elm tree, the forester fears. Another of the pests is the aphis and this is attacking shrubbery. The aphis' modus operandi is to cut into the leaves of the shrub. While its work is not nearly so serious as that of the caterpillar, in the estimation of Mr. Lynch, a solution of micible oil dissolved in water will put the aphis out of business. For the caterpillar, Mr. Lynch sug- gests a solution of arsenate of lead, but he warns those who use that remedy to be cautious in its applica- tion. If it is sprayed into bird baths, it will prove fatal to the feathered tribe. The advent of the caterpillar and the aphis in vast numbers, this year, was made possible by the cold, wet sea- son just passed. The same climatic condition, he added, has caused many trees to turn brown. Where those trees stand on clay soil, the result. is often disastrous, the clay forming pockets to hold the water. The practice of cementing decaying spots on tree trunks has been discon- tinued and in its stead Mr. Lynch is using a new patented process of cork. The cork process, Mr. Lynch declares, is the latest and best thing in tree surgery. The cement process proved a failure, because it was fixed and would not yield with the swaying, windswept tree. Per contra, the cork is flexible and bends with the move- ment of the tree. Mr. Lynch, by the way, is the only north shore forester who is using the cork remedy. NO C. H. MOVIES Moving pictures will not be shown during the month of August at the Community House. The autumn sea- son will begin the first week in Sep- tember when the run of first class pictures will be resumed. VACATIONING BETWEEN CALLS ON SUBSCRIBERS M. J. Timberlake, who for the past few years has been a familiar figure in the village as subscription solicitor for Winnetka Talk, left his home in M. J. Timberlake Winnetka late last week for an ex- tended visit with his brother at Jack- son, Mich. Mr. Timberlake observed his 82nd birthday on May 3 and is still "spry as they make 'em." His brother at Jackson will be 80 years of age on August 3, and both are veterans of the Civil war. The Changing Weather doesn't effect us.
