STICKY FEET OF THE FLY.
Why the Germ Laden Pest Constantly
Rubs and Brushes Them.

Before the men of science terrified
the world with their talk of germs
most people thought that the househy
was harmless creature and very
cleanly In his habits. since he seemed
to spend great part of his time in
cleaning his legs, but since public opin-
ion has turned against him some ex-
PLANTATION has to be found for his APP
parent cleanliness Says the Bibliothek
der unterhaltung una des Wilson's:
"The fact that a fly can walk on a
glazed or slippery perpendicular sur
face has long been matter of obser-
walton. Ii was Mt first thought that
the fine hairs that cover his legs were
so small that they could enter the
pores of the smoothest surface and in
that way bear the weight Of his body.
Later it WAS thought that sticky
fluid WAS Secreted by the feet. which
caused ih"il 10 adhere slightly TO the
wall. The advent OF the microscope
has made II possible to observe the
precise facts about the fly's unusual
powers
ut is true that the fy's feet secrete
a kind of grease. but not in n liquid
form. Each leg has from LOCO TO 1000
minute hairs. and each hair carries a
certain amount OF this fat When the
fly lights on smooth surface the
whole mass OF hairs adheres 70 IL. and
each individual hair can be seen under
the microscope to leave Il distinct
grease spot, which has little circu-
lar mark In its center made by the
hair itself.
with such sticky feet it is naturally
the case that the fly collects good
deal OF dust in the course of his daily
perambulations. If he wishes to walk
ON glass or upside down on the cell
ing he must spend few hours every
day keeping his feet clean OF this coat
ing Of dirt"

about their task In this way:
The start is mnde at sunset. and the
hunter takes with him long bamboo

When suitable growth OF willows
near water is reached the hunter makes

to put them at once into bis bag. uses
both hands to pick them up. and he
losses them lightly into his apron.

II can contain no more. Then he trans

BY A. w. MORRILL,
State Entomologist


 Tn this article for the sake of brevity little space is given to eX- planations of the reasons for tho various recommendations. ThesC recommendations are based. however on the results of the latest eXperi- mental work in codling moth cor trol, including investigations conduct ed in Arizona Success in spraying for the codling moth requires close attention to details. The right spray must be used, it must be applied in the right manner and at the right times. While spraying is the most important feature of cOdling moth control. the use of bands of burlap for trapping the worms, beginning in May and June according to location. scraping off loose bark during the winter months to destroy hibernating places and the disposal of immature and mature infested fruit are inn portant secondary considerations. ln- formation concerning these measures is presented in another number of this series of circulars.
 FOlSOn TOT l0e OOOlilJ MOll
 Arsenate of lead is recommended for use in Arizona against the cod ling moth in preference to other poi sons This is sold commercially both as paste and as a powder The paste is the older and more generally used form, although in Arizona it is slightly more expensive than the powder, containing from 40 to 50 per cent water which adds to the trans portation charges. The powdered arsenate of lead does not cake by drying as does the paste and 1t IS always easily mixed with water. In general one-half pound of powder can be substituted for one pound of paste. Arscnate of lead adheres well and there is practically no danger of burning even new and tender foliage with it. In mixing add small quantity of water to the required amount of lead and make d thin paste. This will then mix readily with the full amount of water. To insure uniform distribution of the poison. the mixture should be kept ; pounds of arsenate of lead paste or one pound of arsenate of lead pow der, should be used in fifty gallons of water. In orchards where the codling moth has just appeared. or where it has been thoroughly con- trolled in previous years, one and one-half pounds of the arscnate of lead paste or three-fourths of pound of the powder to fifty gallons of wa ter will be sufficient provided that the spraying is done with extra care. Arsenate of lead paste is sold hy the California Spray Chemical Company, Watsonville. California; the General Chemical Company of California, San Francisco California; the Nreeland Chemical Company.

of spray should be made about six weeks after the third application Between elevations of four and six thousand feet two. applications should be as effective as three or four at the lower elevations. where the tenn peraure conditions favor more ra pid increase in the number of the insects. The presence of unsprayed trees in any neighborhood should not prevent the practice of control mea- sures by any orchardist. since the adult codling moth does not, as q rule. fly far enough to interfere with the success of control practices.
 The first application should be made under high pressure from 150 to 200 pounds if possible, using q large capacity nozzle of the type which throws fan-shaped driving spray. Such nozzles are sold under the names Bordeaux, Blizzard. and Clipper. The object of this applica- tion is to fill the so-called calyN cup of every newly set fruit It is important to spray downward to ac- complish this, and either an angle nozzle or an elbow joint should be used. For the second and third ap- plications a nozzle giving fine mist like spray is to be preferred. The improved mist spray nozzlcs are re commended for such applications: Friend, Nermorel. Whirlpool and Jumbo. Where such nozzles are pro- Vided with discs or caps with open ings of different sizes, those with the smallest openings are, as rule, to be preferred.
 In apple orchards of mixed varie- ties blooming at different times, the first application should be by varie- ties after nine-tenths of the petals have fallen in each case In spraying pears the same rule should be fol- lowed as in spraying apples, although in the case of some varieties the calyx cups do not close and the first application is not essential
 The leading causes for unsatis- factory results in spraying for the codlinS moth in Arizona are: Failure to keep the spray mixture well asi tated. failure to prune the trees pro- perly. and failure to thin out the orchard in cases of too close plant ing, making it impossible to apply the spray with sufficient thorough ness The first difficulty can be avoided by careful attention to agi- tatiOn by paddles and other means. Tho other difficulties can be remed jed by following the directions given in Press Circular No. 16

Applying the Spray

 tenths of the petals have fallen: the second aplication seven to ten days after the first aplication: the third aplication about six weeks after the second application. The best time for the third application can be deter
 mined by any orchardist by sim pie test About five or six apple trees should be banded in order to collect number of full grown
 worms Bands of burlap long enough tu go around the tree trunks are folded once lengthWise and placed on the trees in the regular way as advised for banding for the codlng worms Dress Circular No. 8. These bands should be placed about three weeks after the last petals fall and should be examined regularly every two or three days. The third appli- cation of spray should be made about ten or twelve days after the first codling worms are found under the bands Where the codling moth has been thoroughly controlled in prev ious years three applications should be sufficient for the season, but in many instances fourth application
