ADDRESS TO FRUIT-oRoWERs
state Board OF Horticulture Urges That
Spraying be Continued.

The Utah state board of horticulture
has issued the following address to
fruit growers. 1t contains some valu-
able information:
1t is of utmost Importance that spray,
ing of apple trees be continued during
the next five weeks in order to protect
the late apples from the ranges of the
second crop of Goblin moth worms
The life history of the Goblin moth
as given by entomologists and observed
by orchardists proves that there are
several broods of worms each year.
In northern and central Utah the first
brood for 1897 is just emerging from
the apple and prepared to undergo the
transformation from worm to moth.
This change will be complete in
about sixteen days from the time tho
worm leaves the apple. Consequently
from July 18th to 25th there will be a
second crop of moth flying and depos-
iting eggs for the brood of worms to
infest the late apples. The ravages
of this later brood of worms are notice
able in the great number Of worm
holes in the sides of winter apples,
which, while not utterly ruined, are,
nevertheless, rendered unstable and
untitled for long keeping. These i'm
perfections, if allowed, will always
initiate against fruit when placed
in competition with the fruit of care.
fully cultivated orchards that have
been properly sprayed.
Many people have received the erron,
eous impression regarding the results
of spraying through the statements
often published by commonly accepted
authorities to the effect that two OF
three sprayings in the spring are suffi.
cient. This would be correct were it
physical possibility to kill every
worm Matched in the first brood. Such
however is impossible and in the most
carefully sprayed orchards there will
be enough worms escape the first spray
ing to produce a second brood in July
sufficient to ruin the entire crop of
winter apples.
The above suggestions are prompted
by the experience of the members of
the state board of horticulture during
the past four years and are confirmed
by the most successful fruit growers
in Utah and elsewhere.
We therefore urge that all the late
apples be sprayed with paris green at
least three times between July Is and
August 10.

The sultan Does not Intend to Yield.

Constantinople. July Queen Vic,
toria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nocholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied To the telegram
received by them from the sultan, and
all gave advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disas-
sociate himself from the views held by
the other powers.
Replies to circular of the Turkish
government to the powers relative to
the frontier question have also been
received by the ambassadors. They
all decline to admit the Turkish pre-
tensions
The porte has sent another circular
to the powers proposing that, in view
of the disturbed conditions existing in
Crete, Turkey send rcinforcements to
the islands. To this the powers have
also replied, endeavoring to disspade
the porte from such a course.
This later proposal on the part of the
Turkish government is held to indicate
that the sultan does not intend to Weld
in regard to the frontier question.
