The codliyg Moth.

The codling moth or apple worm
causes the greatest loss TO the
apple crop in the United States; and
particularly in Wisconsin it NAV be-
considered our greatest apple pest at
this time. This insect was introduced
from Europe many years ago and is
now found in practically all of the
apple-growing regions of the country
as well as many foreign countries. Its
ravages and damage to fruit can be
readily controlled by spraying at the
proper tice with arsenical poisons as
described below.

this insect which produces two broods
