THE WEST VAN NEWS GARDENING P ERSONALSAmerican Blight American Blight, otherwise known as Woolly Aphis, is that woolly mass seen on apple trees in the summer and autumn. It is a small aphis protected by a covering of wood. An aphis is a tiny insect which sucks the sap from the leaves of trees and plants. Green ily is an aphis, as is the black fly of broad beans. The Woolly Aphis damages the softer parts of the wood of trees by piercing it with its beak. The insect is so frail that it seems almost impossible for it ~ to harm a tree in this way. This particular aphis is a big breeder and hides in cracks in the bark of trees. Large wounds, or cank- ers, are formed and the life blood of the tree is drained away. The best way to destroy this pest is to use a small paint brush. This should be dipped into para- ffin or methylated spirits and ap- plied to the parts of the tree infested by the aphis. Be careful not to use the pois- onous mixtures (advertised as 0 remedy for the pest) during the summer months whe nthe fruits are swelling.

If the interest shown in the discussion is any criterion of the effort that will be put forward in any undertaking the club may adopt, much may be expected in the future.
