THE following circular has been
mailed The Dawn in advance of
Bulletin No. II, dealing with that
frightful pest-Codling Moth:
The Washington State Experiment
station at Pullman, has in the hands of
the printer lengthy bulletin giving
the results of several years work on
the Cooling Moth. In as much as the
bulletin cannot be mailed for first
spraying, the following notes are given
in advance of it's publication as an as
sistance to fruit growers.
"The first spraying for the codling
moth should be given after the bios
SONS have fallen from the apple. but
before the calyx cups have closed.
This spraying is the most important Of
all. Experimental tests show that
normally it means loss of one-third of
the apples to omit this spraying. The
object of this application is to place
poison below the crown of stamens,
and it is at this place that nearly all of
the early worms enter. To do this
most effectively it is necessary to rain
down a rather course spray from above
the blossoms, using as much force as
possible, and to spray until the bios
SONS are drenched.
''RepOrts from numerous localities
show that large proportion of the
cooling moth are already in the moth
stage. Unless a period of cold weather
sets in Immediately, the second spray
ing should be given two weeks after the
first. The second,a as we'll as later spray
ings, should be applied in as fine mist
as possible. 1t is important to use as
much pressure behind the pump as can
be maintained, for the more pressure
the finer the mist and the better the
penetration. The third spraying should
be given in general from the middle to
the end of July; the fourth from two to
three weeks later.
"Practical tests have shown that the
best substance at hand for treating the
cOdling moth is arsenate of lead. This
material can be purchased under q
number of brand, as: Swift's, Rex,
