“Don’t give it a sec-

2. "Why did you turn
the wrong way on a one-
way street? Didn’t you
see the arrows?”
“Honest Judge, I
didn’t even see the In-
dians.”
3. “Doctor, there’s an
invisible man in the
waiting room.”
“Tell him I can’t see him.”

are also often attacked. Trees
sometime* do need pruning but
not the way trig girdlers go
about it. You may want to
check your trees closely and at
the first sign of tree gridler
activity, apply a good spraying
with Sevin. Repeated applica-
tions will probably he necessary
as long as twig girrllers are
active in the area. The girdled
limbs will most likely die, so
you might as well remove them
since this insect has laid eggs
in the girdled end. These eggs
will be the Source of next
