FOLDED LEAFLETS-LEAF ROLLER MOTH.
and that of leaflets folded by single
larvae in q recent report, in which he
says:
The moths make their appearance in
the strawberry field during the first
half of May. In an ordinary season
they may be looked for almost any
time after May 1. The eggs are pale
green in color, almost exactly like the
underside of the strawberry leaf. and
are almost invisible to any but most
careful examination. When the young
caterpillar matches, it must make a
journey from the underside of the leaf
on which it was born to the upper side
of the same or another leaf, and it
feeds for day or two at least. prac-
tically exposed upon an open surface.
Moths may be found on the vines until
late in May or even in early June.
Then they disappear, and during the
first days of June the presence of the
larvae becomes noticeable, increasingly
so as the month advances.
AS soon as it is Matched the little cat
erpillar makes it's way to the upper side
Of half grown leaf where the; sepa
rate leaflets are not yet fully expanded
and stretches itself along the midrib.
1t eats into the midrib or along the
side close to it, and very soon the Up
per faces of the leafiet or lobe are
brought together and held in place by
numerous silken cords. while the insect
spins partial tube or lining inside, in
which it lives for the balance of its life.
1t has been shown that just after it
is Matched and while the larva is yet
very small it wanders from it's place
of birth to the upper side of the leaf,
feeding here and there. before settling
down. 1t must be the object of the
grower to poison the foliage so early
In the season that when the young
caterpillar starts feeding it can find
no foliage that it can safely eat.
Therefore as soon as moths are found
flying in fair numbers spray with paris
green or some other arsenite. AS the
plants grow rapidly and new leaves
are being constantly added, spray
again a week later and a third time
the week thereafter. This will catch
the great bulk Of the caterpillars that
would become injurious in June.
A single spraying will do compare
lively little good. because the moths
extend the egg laying period over so
long a time. The first Larvae, are al
most full grown before the last eggs
are Matched. The actual date of spray
ing depends upon the season and the
time of appearance of the moths. When
the fruit is well advanced, all poisons
must be of necessity kept off.

ORCHARD SPRAYING.

liquid constantly agitated to prevent
the settling of the poison to the bot
tom of the tank This may be accom-
plished by constant stirring with pad
die, by shaking, but preferably by
throwing stream of the liquid back
into the tank. Many of the larger
pumps are now constructed with two
discharge orifces with this latter OBJ
ject in view or are provided with spe-
cial agitators, and the use Of such Is
recommended.
In spraying orchard trees it will be
found convenient in going between the
rows to spray on each side. half of
each tree in the row at time and fin
ish on the return rather than attempt
to spray all sides of one tree before
taking up another.
The object in spraying is to coat
every leaf and part of the plant as
lightly as compatible with thorough
ness. and to avoid waste In doing this
a mist spray is essential. The applica-
ton to any part should seq when wa
ter begins to drip from the leaves. A
light rain will not remove the l>oison,
but a dashing one will probably ne
cessitate renewal of the application.
