orchardists in Hood River valley, an.
who have large orchards on the Eas
Side, believe thoroughly in the spra,
pump. In winter time they give thei
trees spraying Of lime, sulphur an,
salt, and during the bearing season us,
the areenic spray, with plenty Of lime
for the Goblin moth. II is hard to find
wormy apple in their orchards. Mr.
Sears IL opposed TO Close pruning ant
believes in letting nature take its cours,
IN the formation Of the tree after il ha
been shaped at the time Of planting
he says the more tree is pruned til,
harder il is to fight the codlin moth ,anC
instances the Spitzenburg tree, which il
OF sparse foliage, and the fruit being ex
posed Is an easy mark for the codliI
moth. 1t is a well-known fact that tn,
Spitzenburg apple is very susceptible t
the attack Of the Goblin moth. From
"a acres, containing 297 Ben Davii
trees, Sears q Porter last year gathered
and packed l,4l4 boxes of apples-S
four-tier standard boxes, and the bal.
ance four-tier Oregon boSes. One hun
drcd Of these trees were four years Oh
and 1917 five years old. From Baldwin
trees, seven years old, they picked i04
boxes of marketable apples.
