The Apple-Bud Moth.

The apple-bud moth, which has be-
come serious pest in Western New
York, is closely related to the Goblin
moth, both belonging to the same
family, called Tortricida. The Goblin
moth is the larger Of the two, and is
three-fourths of an inch across the
open wings. 1t is a brownish color
with wavy lines on the wings, giving
them the appearance of watered silk
with a satin luster. The bud moth is
easily recognized by the eyelike spot
on its wings, and it is really as large
as the Goblin moth. Its full history
has not yet been studied out, but
enough is known to decide that the
only effective remedy is to spray the
trees quite early before the buds have
opened. Paris green is the agent
used, mixed with water in the proper
ton of one large tablespoonful to one
gallon of water.

His Way.

An Ohio man who owns or controls
10 acres of peach orchards, and is
most successful, believes that the trees
can be kept in productive condition
for 80 years by proper pruning. He
cuts back severely each year, leaving
only two or three buds of the new
growth. He never let's the trees get
over 10 or u feet high, and as the tree
gets aged removes some old wood to
keep the top within bounds. He
claims that he can renew a tree with
entirely new wood in the top within
five years, and thus keep the tree
vigorous. By cutting back to two or
three buds he thins the fruit, and
believes that this is the only true
method of thinning fruit.
