Annihilating the Cooling Moth
With a Single Spraying.

with a Single Spraying.
10 have declared a few years
ago that the codling moth could
be kept in complete check by a
single application Of spray would
have seemed to every fruit grower
a most radical statement. They
were every one of them unable to
keep It's rayages below ) per cent
even with SIX or more Sprayings.
How, therefore, could anybody ex-
pect to attain better results with
but one spraying? That such a
treatment is not only possible but
IS the most economical and de-
| pendable course in fighting this
serious pest has been clearly
shown by the Washington State
. Experiment Station this summer.
For many years the station has
been investigating the codling
moth The work was started by
Prof. Piper, and carried on later
by the present entomologist. At
first the life history of the insect
had to be studied, when it was
found that three broods of the
moth occur in most of the com
mercial apple districts of the state
Popular methods Of combating
the insect were given comparative
trials and the conclusion was
reached three years ago that four
applications of spray given at
stated times should be all that
were necessary even under the
worst Of conditions. With the
progress of the experiment many
conclusions Of the utmost practical
value have been arrived at. The
time-honored paris green was
abandoned in favor of arsenate
of lead. The strength Of the spray
was cut down tWo-thirds. The fact
that the codling moth does not fly
far was discovered-a point of
great interest for the proximity of
an uncared-for orchard has always
been considered such menace
that horticultural laws have been
formulated to compel everyone to
spray Improvements IN existing
spraying machinery were suggest
ed. resulting in the evolution OF
the high pressure pump OF great
capacity, which as demanded IN
our region differs from the usual
pumps elsewhere used.
Year after year the importance
of the first spraying was increas,
ingly emphasized. In 1907 the eX-
periments at Walla Walla showed
that when the first spraying was
omitted no amount of subsequent
spraying could protect the fruit
Strange although this may SEEM
the explanation is simple. Most
codling worms seek the calyx cav
ity through which to enter the
apple. As soon as the apple has
set this cavity is closed by the in
folding sepals and when once shut
can not be penetrated by spray.
The main point of entrance must
therefore be guarded by thor
ough spraying given within a few
DAYS after poisoning time. That
this is not an imaginary theory

any unsprayed orchard. Counts
few days ago showed that 81
per cent of the wormy fruit in an
unsprayed orchard at Pullman
were entered at the calyx end. An
application of spray just after
poisoning time would have saved
this fruit, but no subsequent
Sprayings could have protected
these apples from the worms.
This year we gave thorough
test to the value of single treat
ment IN two commercial orchards
at Wenatchee. As result, one of
these, Mr.. 4. \. Lanham' s. had
less than one-twelfth of ! per cent
loss from the total crop of 10000
boxes. When this orchard was
taken IN charge last year the pre-
vious loss from worms had been
90 per cent. The other orchard
IN Wenatchce, Mr.. s. Johnson S.
was selected as the SevercSt test
of single spray that could be
imagined. Last year Mr.. johnson
had sprayed four times. yet lost
over 90 per cent Of his crop to the
worms. His King trees lost IS
per cent and his Blue Pearmains
80 per cent This year. however,
the treatment given by the State
College saved 80 per cent Of his
entire crop, while the King trees
lost less than 3 per cent and the
Blue Pearmains 7 per cent
1t will be asked why single APP
phcation can be so beneficial when
the average grower is unsuccessful
with many sprayingS. The answer
Is that the spraying as done by
the state College is thorough.
Every apple blossom must be filled
with spray or perfect results can
not be hoped for. TO apply the
spray in the finest mist used to be
the maxim Of every fruit grower;
but a mist can not penetrate
through the StamenS into the low
ermost calyx cup. For that rea-
son we have evolved a coarse
drenching spray, shot from above
directly at every blossom, and
each tree is sprayed until it is
certain that no apples are missed.
The absolute success of the treat
ment depends largely on this. That
such spraying can be done has
been clearly demonstrated and the
protection it has afforded the fruit
crop is shown not only in the clean
condition of the apples, but in the
telling fact that an apple Wormy
at the calyX end has yet to be
found in the orchards experiment
ed with. Indeed the percentage
of apples wormy at the calyX end
is fair criterion Of the thorough
ness of the first spraying
Returns are coming in from or
chardists through the state who
have had faith enough in our pre-
dictions to give a test for them
selves to the one spraying idea.
Fruit Inspector Roderick Of We
natchee had but One-ffth Of |
per cent loss from worms. \. l..
McMullen kept the loss to less
than one-tenth Of l per cent. Mr..
, Edmunds of Orondo states that he
: had no worms at all. i. f. Will
Hams of Spokane has also secured
perfect fruit. Since all of these
growers sprayed but once, and
, with the coarse, drenching spray,
the success Of the treatment is
proved. Mr.. II. f. Bacon bought
f an old orchard Of 40 acres at Ever
green that last year lost 30 per cent
of its crop although sprayed four
times. This season the orchard
was sprayed by VIM. NJ. Mann, a
, student in entomology at the State
College. The single application
changed the codling moth condl-
finn If this orchard TO A total loss

\ RELIABLE SPRING MEDICINE. Recommended to the People of New
 Haven, Conn.

At this season of the year there Is hardly a man, woman or child in New Haven, Conn, who does not need a medicine to purify and enrich the blood, to induce an appetite. to nro- mote digestion and create strength. and we are safe in saving we have never sold anything in our store canal to the cod liver preparation Vinol for this purpose.
 The reason Ninol is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions is because it is made hy A. scientific. attractive and concentrat- ing process from fresh cods' flyers. combining with peptonate- of-iron all the medicinal, healing and body build ing elements of cod liver oil but no oil
 As a spring medicine and body builder and strength creator for old people. delicate children. weak. run- down persons, and after sickness Vjnol is unexcelled, and you know what vou are taking
 Mrs. Rose Davigne of Burlington. Vt, writes: ''Finol is the best spring medicine I have ever used: it creates an appetite. purifies the blood and takes away all feeling of lassitude
 We could go on quoting from hun dreds of such letters. but simply ask the people of New Haven, Conn. to try Ninol this spring on our guarantee to return money if they are not bene- fited. Hulrs Corner Drug Stores, Cor State and Chapel Sts. Cor. Howard and Congress Ayes, New Haven, Conn
