COUNTY FARM NOTES

We still have a few days left i'm
which TO spray apple trees for the
control of the coddling moth which
later will hatch les eggs in the calyx
OF the blossom The eggs will de-
velop into the small white apple worm
with which everybody is familiari II
we can succeed in putting few
grams of arsenic I'm each little calyx
cup, the first meal the apple worm
takes will be its last one. You have
noticed that the calyx cups stand open
for only a week or ten days, conse-
quently the spray must be applied
during this time in order 20 be effec-
tive. However, they should not be
sprayed while I'm full bloom. Such
work would interfere with pollina-
ton, without which fruit cannot de-
yelop, and it will destroy the fruit
growers best friend, the honey bee.
II is safe 10 spray when the petals
have nearly all fallen. for at this time
the flow OF nectar has stopped and
few If any bees will be destroyed.
This can be accomplished with most
any kind of a spraying outfit just so
the solution is forced down deep in
the calyX cups.
Use commercial lime sulphur solu-
ton at the rate of ~ gallons to so
gallons OF water, and TO this should be
added 21s pounds of arsenate OF lead
paste or IL pounds If in powdered
form to every so gallons OF the soIu-
ton.
This is the most important single
spray of the year as it not only con-
trolls the first brood larvae OF the
coddling moth but it also prevents. to
very great extent, the losses caused
by the later broods of this pest. II
Is also an important spray in CON
trolling the plum circulio, canker
worm, apple scab, black rot and other
less important insect pests and fun
gous diseases
Do not neglect to apply the next
spray for it is very important. II
should be applied two or three weeks
after the calyx spray. This will be
about the time the first brood OF cod
ding moth eggs are Matched and if
the surface of the leaves be covered
with some of the poison. many OF the
worms will be killed by feeding on it
before they reach the blossom end of
the little apple Since this is also
the first important spray against the
apple blotch, Bordeaux mixture
should be used with the arsenate of
lead If blotch is prevalent in the or
chard
About 8 or Q weeks after the bios
som spray. the third application
should be given, using the same solu-
tons as for the first This spray is
against the second brood of coddling
moth, also the plum circulio. apple
blotch and other insect pests and dis
eases. Later sprays will not be nee
essary if the ones outlined above are
followed thoroughly. and by so doing
you will be rewarded for your efforts

and favored and free from worms.

Mr.. Taxpayer, do you believe that John
j. Cornwell told you the truth when he
said in 1904 that the infamous Dawson
tax laws would raise your taxes? Do you
believe his warning that the political mis-
management of the Virginia debt would
eventually land the whole amount on the
shoulders of you and your children and
grandchildren? Do you believe that
Cornwell told the truth? II you do,
there is no better way to get this state
back to a sane business-like government
than voting for John j. Cornwell twice,
once in the primary and again in the fall
election.
