A. T. Richardson of North Yakima,
whom [ esteem as valuable CORES
pondent, has written me an interest
ing letter. He thinks that some
Fruitvale apple growers, at least, have
controlled the codling moth by spray
ing. [ have no doubt but the cases
cited by Mr.. Richardson have actually
occurred. If any one can ettectually
control the codling moth by spraying
[ say good | have not word to say
against spraying; l practice 1T and
try to have it done in the best manner
and with the best material but with
me it is not in all cases enough L

but which we have not been practic-
ing for few years past under the i'm
preston that lone spraying Is
enough" or at least three or four
sprayings are enough, | have no con :
tention with the person who succeeds
in controlling the codling moth with
one spraying or any number of spray
iDgs but [ am forced to say that with
us it is different and we must do
more.

be grown in his orchard that will not
be so hard to get rid of. The clovers,
the vetches, peas and beans of all
kinds, yellow trefoil and sweet clover
are legumes and gather nitrogen in
the same way that it is done by alfalfa
and not one of them is as hard to get
rid of. But not one of them is quite
as good as alfalfa for that purpose.
Friend Bush s inquiry about whether
the alfalfa helps to control the codl-
ing moth must be answered in the
negative. In fact alfalfa growing in
an orchard might work as a detriment
in fighting this pestiferous insect.
When the larva leaves the apple it
Immediately seeks a hiding place.
Such a place may be found in the
forks of the tree or under scaly bark.
Failing to find such a hiding place
on the tree the worm descends to the
ground and hides under any kind of
rubbish to be found there. Alfalfa
may furnish such hiding place and
in this way retard our work of con-
trolling the codling moth. Certainly
Mr.. Bushs record in controlling this
pest is very good one. He did not
have one per cent of wormy apples
among his Winesaps. If | could do
that we'll by spraying or in any other
way | would be satisfied.

MORE ABOUT THE COOLING
MOTH.

We can never settle upon the bes t
thing to do in fighting the codling
moth by the examination of special
cases or special locations. This in
sect is not equally bad in all locations
nor in all years. l once heard Prof.
G. V. Piper say that in the higher

EFFECT OF POLLINATION ON
COLOR.

In private letter one of our very
thoughtful and scholarly men asks
the question: "Whether the cross
pollination of different varieties of
apples of different shades of color
will affect apples produced as result
of the cross; for example, If an
Arkansas Black tree stands beside a
Spitzenburg, will the Spitzenburg be
more deeply colOred by cross poIlina-
tion from the Arkansas Black?" My
answer was that | have had no eX :
perience along that line but am of the
opinion that in order to get the cross
in this case we will have to plant
the seed and grow new tree. In pro-
ducing hybrlds we must plant the
seed in order to get the cross. In
my experimental orchard where L
have eighty varieties of apples grow
ing | have never noticed any difference
in color by reason of the proximity
of other varieties. In cross pOllina-
ton the chief advantage is that the
adjacent trees are more sure to be
fertilized. 1t has been proven by eX-
perts that many varieties of apples
are partially self-sterile. If the pollen
is deficient the apples will look feeble
and not develop so we'll as where it is
abundant. [ am very willing to be
"showed"if | am mistaken.
L. M. Brown, secretary of the
Washington State Horticultural Soci-
ETY., wrote me November 3Oth, as
follows:
GAS you are probably more familiar
with horticultural history of the state
than any one else in Washington, |

Washington" at the next annual
meeting of the Washington State
Horticultural Association which will

Not long ago had the pleasure OF

enjoyable affair.
This club was promoted and or
Ranized several years ago by a few
Urls and women who wished to
know more about nature and her
works. This line of work has not
been strictly adhered to, but a part
of every years program is devoted
to that study. This last summer they
had seed, bulb, flower and plant
topics. A snow and an ice program
are being prepared now. When
they veer from nature, they some

told me about was on the Panama
canal.
Sometimes the members prepare
sewing and one reads aloud or they
all discuss some question while they
sew, or perhaps they just visit dur
ing this work period. This sewing
usually takes the form Of making
