Damages Done to Orchards

Two Corporations File Certificates

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council, Thursday, Sept. 10, at 10 Am.

The annual report of State Horticul-
turist Albert X. Gardner, in speaking
of damage done to the orchards of the
State by the coddling moth, says:
AS usual, the coddling moth caused
more damage to the fruit growers
than any other pest. Even where
spraying was done, trouble was found
in controlling this. pest in satisfac-
tory manner. Some of the growers
estimated that as high as 50 per cent.
of their fruit was free from worms
and fit for the fancy grade but these
men We're not by any means numer-
Gus. Probably so per cent, at least, of
the unsprayed apples were worny and
unfit for fancy pack and somewhere
IN the vicinity of 20 per cent. of the
sprayed fruit also.
The failure of the spray material
TO control this pest was due in many
cases to lack of thoroughness and de-
lay in application, rather than to the
material itself. Even with the many
advantages of sprayed fruit before
them, most of the orchardists believe
that they have not time to spare from
other work, to spray their trees more
than once during the season"
