BLEMISHED FRUIT THE
WORK OF CURCULIO
AND COOLING MOTH
BY Il. r. TAYLOR.

There are comparatively few or
cha rdsts at the present time who
doubt the value of spraying apples
for the curculio and the codling
moth. On the other hand. there are
many who are, in reality, not pro-
tecting their orchards from these two
cardinal apple pests as is possible or,
indeed practicable.
IT is unnecessary to go into detail
in explaining all the reasons why fruit
wormy from the codling moth or
stung and deformed by the curculio,
is permitted. Suffice to say that in
many cases there is no reasonable ex-
cuse, except the failure of persons to
carry out plans of spraying which are
already well known to be effective.
There is a strong tendency, how
ever, noted recently among many fruit
growers to do more careful and in
telligent spraying so that higher
percentage Of frst-claSs apples may
be produced. A few years of par
tial fruit failures from adverse and
uncomfortable weather conditions
the other years we save our crops
from destruction by insects-an ac-
complishment quite within our power
Among the many insects damaging
the apple crop there are two which
stand out pre-eminently as the most
destructive. IheSe are the CurCullO,
the old offender commonly known as
the plum curculio. and the we'll known
codling moth. The damage cone to
apples alone in the state Of Missouri
by these two insects in a year when
an average crop is borne runs into
millions OF dollars.
In controlling these and other in
sects, apple growers should apply
their arsenical sprays at times when
they will be Of the greatest possible
service. There is limit to the num-
ber Of sprays which can be profitab bly,
applied, especially since in many cases
1t is also necessary to give separate
sprayings of fungicides at times when
no insecticide is required or vice versa.
For instance, it is generally conceded
that spraying with a fungicide is ne
cessary before the opening of the
apple bloom for the purpose of re-
ducing apple scab. though the addi-
ton of an arsenical at that spray can
have no effect in destroying the larvae
Of the codling moth and little, if any

punctured with these holes, frequently
less than an inch apart. Where trees
in the proper condition are not nu-
merous enough it attacks buildings
and drills holes in the cornices Of
houses or spires Of churches; also it
bores into telephone and telegra phi
poles and fence posts.
For the laboratory investigation of
the food of the California woodpecker,
"a StOmachS were available. The food
was found to consist Of 1883 per cent
of animal matter to TAI per cent Of
vegetable.
Their principal item Of food is
acorns. This amounts to $3.50 per
cent Of the yearly diet and was found
in 5S stomachs. Where almonds are
largely cultivated and this bird is
abundant it exhibits strong liking
for this nut and stores it instead OF
acorns. In some cases it has been
found necessary to shoot the birds
whenever they entered the orchard in
order to save the crop.
The foregoing shows that the food
Of the California woOdpecker is not OF
much economic Importance. 1t does
not prey extensively upon the prod
| ucts of industry, except occasionally
/ upon almonds, and it's insect diet con.
tains practically no useful species. It:
worst sin is its propensity to puncturt
/ the cornices and castings Of building:
and telegraph and telephone poles il
order to store its nuts for winter use
This is serious injury and will jus

value against the curculiO. Again.
SPRAYS of Bordeaux mixture when
used late in the season at the time Of
the appearance of bitter-rOt are given
at time too late TO be of much value
in preventing damage from either of
these two insects.
Spraying is the chief method of con-
troll of curculio and codling moth in
apple orchards, but there are a num-
Der of other natural or artificial
checks against both insects which de-
serve mention.
Banding of the trees to capture the.
descending worms Of codling moths
as they search for a place for pupa-
tion was a practice even before spray
ing for codling moth was begun. 1t
has been shown that they will some
times capture as high as 40 per cent
of the worms upon the tree but it
cannot be considered a practical op-
Grafton when such far better results
can be accomplished by spraying
When bands are used they must be
looked after every ten days and the
worms destroyed to prevent the moth
from maturing and making it's escape.
IL this is not done they will only offer
safer hiding places and do more harm
than good. They are sometimes use
full in trapping the first emerging

second generation worms.
Cultivation Of orchards is one of the
best Of procedures for .curculio de-
struction. 1t keeps the orchard free
from many Of the desirable hiberna
tion places for the adults and it un
Questionably destroys a high per cen
CT the insects in the ground.
There are many useful natural in
sect parasites and other enemies O
both curculio and codling moth which
Attack them in practically all thei
stages and assist very materially IL
