OUR SHADE TREES ARE MENACED
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 23 June 1921]
The shade trees of this city are affected by worms, which will destroy them, and indeed many of them are now on the verge of destruction.
Upon consulting Frank Muirhead, superintendent of the park, we find it is most likely the worms called the borers which attack the body of slightly rotted trees Mr. Muirhead gives this advice:.
“A very good way to combat these borers is to white wash the trees with strong lime. Arsenic of lead is also very good, and thought it costs a little more it is more effective. The best ting to use on these borers is Paris Green, which is best and cheapest.”
We would advise the people of the city to do their best to combat the worms as it would be a shame to lose any of our shade trees.
