Balls method is based primarily on
two important. facts. He claims that
wherever upon the apple the eggs OF
the first brood are laid great ma
jority of the young worms coming
therefrom crawl to the calyx ana en-.
ter there; secondly. that Immediately
after the petals fall there are two cav
tiles at the calyx end. the stamen
bars" roofing the lower of the two
cavities.
The young larva enters the apple by
eating through the floor of the lower
cavity. Balls idea was to get the
poison lodged in sufficient quantity in
the lower cavity. where il would do
some good. To accomplish this he
sprayed from above. while the apples
were still erect. But for a few DAYS
after the petals fall these stamen
bars are SO tightly pressed together
as to make IL very difficult for the
liquid to penetrate to the lower cav
ity BY waiting a week or ten days.
even though the calyx lobes are clos
ing at that time. these bars have
shrunk, enabling a careful workman
TO place big dose Of poison in the
lower chamber. where Il is needed.

apples, and made 20 give. not a mist.

than this. however. spraying with
these principles in view would be OF
little avail because the calyx lobes are
almost completely closed. Balls work
shows that enough poison is retained

average OF 80 per cent Of the worms

good results the spray must be a

Again the INDEPENDENT wishes to
state that the matter of reporting or
chard sales which are made at from
$500 an acre up to s., 900, as LAND
sales" is of questionable value as re-
source advertisement, in as much as it
gives the public misleading idea re-
garding average land values and causes
many to think that land on the West
ern Slope is out Of their reach. 1t is,
of course. pleasure to report these
big sales, but it should be made plain
that the difference in the price above
improved or partly improved land, is
in the value of the improvements. If
a man works 10 years to get valuable
orchard, he is entitled to add its cost or
its worth to the land if he sells, and
tfe same applies to building improve
ments. Here one may buy and build
up. or they may buy the improved prop
erty, as they wish.
