WorIny Apples.


There Is nothing new about wormy
apples except the way TO avoid having
them. There are several species of
grubs or worms which work in apples,
but the one which does nearly all the
damage is the core worm. The core
worm is the offspring of the Goblin
mOthr and this is the insect which n
man wants to fight in his apple trees.
Tho best general remedy for the core
worm or cOdling moth. according to in
formation furnished by the Vermont
experiment station, is paris green.
Some apple growers use London pur-
pie, others use white arsenic, but they
amount To the same thing They all
poison the core worms. Other insect
cides, like hellcborc. kerosene or sui
phur, arc not effective I'm this case.
In the hands of the average man
paris green is the best medicine for
the codling moth. The poison should
be thoroughly mixed with water at the
rate Of quarter Of pound TO the bar.
rel-that IS. about ono pound Of paris
green to 100 to go gallons Of water.
About u pound of lime ought 10 bc
added to each barrel Of water which
will prevent scalding Of the foliage II
should he applied with Il spray pump
md fine nozzle.
In case bordeaux mixture is used on
the tree the paris green may bc added
directly to that solution at the rate al
ready recommended.
The first spraying for ;ho codlirG
moth should be made MS soon as The
blossoms fan. or within week after
ward II is very important TO do ibis
before the little apples begin To- hang
down their heads. so after that time
they do not catch and hold tho poison.
