American Refining company. The re-
port states that A. F, Dyer, representing
Mr.. Dillingham;, holds leases for 1901
hectares of Philippine lands, which in
Guides 1927 hectares, on the Calamga es-
tate. hectare is said to be two and
half acres. Mr. Dillingham;, accord

WARNING IS ISSUED TO
THE GROWERS TODAY BY
THE LOCAL INSPECTOR

Many fruit growers are asking me
whether the eggs of the codling moth
are beginning to appear in the or
chsrds about Grand Junction and
what time will be best to apply the
next or second codling moth spray.
A note along this line through the
columns of The Sentinel believe will
be of much value to fruit growers of
this locality. In the course of the
inspection OF a number of orchards
in the Grand Junction district made
during the last few days | have found
4 number of freshly laid eggs of cod
ling moths, forerunuers of the hordes
that will be appearing in the orchards
within the next three or four weeks.
The finding of codllng moth eggs
has considerable Significance to fruit
growers for it is with the Matching of
these eggs that the second codling
moth spray should be given. The
eggs discovered within the past few
days have for the most part been
found deposited upon the upper sur
faces of leaves near the fruit clusters
and usually most abundant about
early developing apples such as sum-
mer and fall varieties, Jonathan, etc.
The apples about which fresh eggs
may be expected are now measuring
from five-eights to three-fourths of
an inch in diameter. Later on when
the apple becomes larger and smooth
er eggs may also be expected upon
their sides as well as upon the smooth
sides of leaves near them. The eggs
are tiny flat objects no larger than
pin head being milky white in color
when laid but showing a pink ring
about the third or fourth day and
dark center five or six days from lay
ing. They usually hatch in about
seven days, though with the cooler
sights this early in the season, the
period of incubation is sometimes
day or two longer.
This means that the codling moth
eggs laid within the past day or two
will be Matching during the last days
Of the coming week and that the next
codling moth spray should be given

found n dead man on the railroad
track or just off the track, at n point
about 10 miles this side of Rifle.
The engineer saw the man ahead
of his train, laying just outside the

was stopped and the crew ascertained
that the man was dead. He had ap-
parently been struck by u train early
i'll the day and killed instantly.
No close examination was made
owing to the lack of time and the de-
sire TO let the proper officials make
the examination.
The man was of medium height
and weight and apparently about 10
years of age. He appeared To be "A

from about Wednesday, May is, to
Saturday. May 81, according to the
variety and particular locality. These
dates will apply very well however,
to the general locality lying about
Grand Junction including Fruitvale,
Highland Park, Pear Park, Fruit
Ridges and Orchard Mesa. This
spraying should evidently be COM
pleted in the localities indicated by
May 25th. In the Pomona district
the egg laying has not developed SO
far and it is likely that the spraying
can be applied at the best time if put
on between the goth and 25th. the
latter date applying in the Fruita dis
trict with a few days earlier in some
orchards farthest advanced.
| found fresh codling moth eggs
at Palisade May 5th and spraying
was well timed up there and east of
Clifton If already begun or if it is
begun very soon.
OF course a very few eggs can be
found in Grand Junction orchards
already hatched but these are of rare
occurrence and probably are from
moths forced out abnormally early
in extra warm places. Mr.. Carl Rupp
OF Orchard Mesa brought an apple
to me two days ago showing a recent
ly hatched larva already beneath the
apple skin.
If Grand Junction apple growers
have completely filled with poison
the calyx cups by their first spray
they should have no trouble in con-
trolling this pest by a second thor
ough mist spray given as | have just
indicated, following this with third
spray about two weeks after the sec
ond. These three sprays are all in
tended for the first brood.
Trees with light crop should not
be neglected this year. Fruit grow
ers will have to plan upon completing
their watering in time to permit dry
ing of the gorund in the orchard
ready for the coming spray.
1t is TO be hoped fruit growers will
bring their apples and pears through
this season in first class condition. 1t
will be necessary to put up more
successful spray battle than ever in
order to bring fruit up to the improv-
ed 1910 pack.
