The codling moth, which is by far
the worst apple pest, may be quite
effectively cOmbatted by thorough
spraying with some arsenical poison
just after the blossoms fall. Arsenate
Of lead used at the rate of two pounds
to fifty gallons of water is giving bet
ter satisfaction than paris green be-
cause it adheres better and does not
injure the foliage
The moths emerge early and the
female soon begins to lay its eggs.
These are not as has been commonly
supposed upon the fruit, but largely
on the under side of the leaves. Care
full studies have shown that about
nineteen-twentieths of the eggs are
deposited upon the leaves, the balance
being upon the bark and fruit. The
earliest deposited eggs hatch in about
ten days While the later ones take
only about half as long. AS soon as
the larva matches it begins to mi
CRATE toward the fruit, and having
reached it usually enters at the point
of least resistance, which in its imma
ture stage of development is through
the calyX opening. A knowledge OF
the life history of this pest enables
the orchardist to spray his trees in
diligently. He knows that the weak
point of resistance is in the calyx or
blow end of the fruit Here then is
the point OF attack If he can fill the
calyX end of each apple upon the tree
with a poisonous spray, the most Of
the larvae will be destroyed before
they have an opportunity to gain &C
cess to the interior structure of the
apple. Hence he should spray within
the first week or ten days after the
blossoms fall or before the calyX
closes up and the apple begins to
point downward. The nozzle used
should throw the liquid with enough
force to drive the spray liquid into the
end of each apple. One thorough
spraying at this time has been found
to give over 80 per cent of worm free
apples. A second spraying three or
four weeks later is recommended. The
first spraying for cooling moth can be
combined with the second for apple
scab, by adding the arsenical poison
to the bordeaux mixture
The curculio and apple maggot are
much more difficult pests to combat
Frequent and thorough sprayings has
demonstrated the possibility of very
largely controlling the injury caused
by the apple and plum curculio. Till
age and sunlight are two effective aids
in the suppression of the curcuHo, as
is also the destruction of all fallen
fruit.
There is no known remedy for the
apple maggot Preventive measures
such as the destruction of all fallen
fruit are the only means of suppress
sion that can be employed. OF course
good tillage and judicious pruning and
spraying materially aid in lessening
the injury to the fruit. Arsenical
poisons are not effective.
