NOW IS TIME TO SPRAY
SAYS FRUIT INSPECTOR
(By j. +. Burke.)

The time to spray for codling moth
is at hand. Just as soon as weather
will permit this work should 90 for
ward as rapidly as possible. The
calyx of the pear does not close at
once after the dropping of the petals.
as do the apple On the contrary.
they remain open sufficiently long so
that the pear trees may be SPRAYED
at the time of the first spraying of
the apple trees for codling moth.
The main object in spraying for
this pest is to fill every calyx or cup
full of the poison. 1t is generally con-
ceded that two-thirds of the larvae
enter the apple or pear through the
calyx' hence the necessity of filling
the cavity with the poison. However
too early spraying is not desirable
as 1t would interfere with pollination
of the blossoms.
When the spraying has been thor
oughly done you will find the trees
dripping The indications now are
that we will have bumper fruit
crop and it is up to us to make the
quality first class. So get ready now.
Use l-2 pounds of arsenate of lead
to 90 gallons of water, and applv
with a good power spray.
