TESTS OF GOOD SPRAYING
FOR THE COOLING MOTH

Was your first spraying for the cod
ling moth done Just right? II SO, it
was almost impossible for you to find
Il worm hole in the blossom end lthe
calyxj OF your apples at picking time
II calyx worms We're common, your
first spraying. for some reason, was
largely Il failure. Perhaps the poison
was of poor quality. and you may have
used it in too small amount; but it is
far more likely that the spraying WAS
not thoroughly and properly done.
Perhaps the application was made too
early, before the blossoms were mostly
off, or too late, after the calyx cups
had closed; hut it is more likely that
you were in too great a hurry, used
too little material, and sprayed from
the ground, and so failed 10 fiji all the
calyx cups.
The one test of good work at the
first spraying is frequently to examine
the blossoms to make sure that all
have been filled with the spray.
To fill the calyx cups the spray
nozzle must be elevated above the
trees for the upper blossoms, which
necessitates the use of long spray
rod and an elevated platform upon
which to stand, unless the trees are
very low.
The Colorado Agricultural college
hae
| coarse spray, but is now inclined to
favor as fine a spray as can be thrown
with sufficient force to make Ii carry
well into the outer calyx cup. A
coarse spray requires more material
and increases the Likelihood of accu
| mulating a harmful amount of arsenic
| in the soil
The writer does not think that all
sprayings, after the calyx cups have
| tightly closed, are useless; but after
| another year of experimentation and
observation upon this insect, I au
more strongly than ever of the opinion
that a thorough spraying just after
| the blossoms have fallen win do more
than all subsequent sprayings to pre-
vent wormy apples; and If the FIRST
spraying for any reason is n failure
later applications will not prevent a
wormy crop of fruit.
