Fall Spraying for
the Leaf Roller

This year as has never been done
before. fruit trees VIII be sprayed in
the fall for the leaf-roller. Spring
spraying has always been the custom.
but many fruit men hace already or
dered their oil and will spray when
the trees are dormant.
The fall spraying according to the
state entomologist, should give as
good results as the spring spraying.
Several good reasons for fall spray
ing are:
D-Generaliy better weather in
the fall
t2,-Less busy season than the
spring.
ts)-water generally warmer which
makes the oil more miscible
t4I-A check can be obtained on
the results of the spraying.
t5)-By fail spraying you will never
have the exc~se you sprayed too late
The warmer the weather at the
time of spraying the better the spread
ing penetration OF the oil. Warm
days after spraying will make the
spray more efficient According 10
the experimental results of Mr. lie
roy Chilas of Oregon on spraying Tor
the leaf.roller. Two rainy days after
the spray was applied decreased the
efficiency OF the oil as much as 80
per cent.
The temperature of the water when
/; is mixed with the oil also plays a
prominent part in the efficiency of the
oil. Several. OF the growers find it
profitable to heat few gallons OF the
water and mix the oil in that
By the fall spraying a check can
be obtained on the results of the
spray by collecting egg masses after
the trees have been sprayed and put
ting them in warm place for hatsii-
ing. The agricultural college has
offered to receive the egg masses and
test and report to the growers the
percentage OF hatch.
Fall spraying will necessitate fall
pruning that will not hurt the trees
however, for If the trees are perfectly
dormant the wound will heal just as
satisfactorily as IL the trees were
pr,lned in the spring.
\ first requisite for successful
spraying is to use the oil the proper
strength. Follow instructions: Use
more oil rather than less.
Thoroughness is another requisite.
Cover all parts OF the tree. The col.
lege recommends that not less than
10 gallons of oil on an average should
be applied to trees from IL TO 20
years of age.
Before any spraying is done at all.
the trees should be well pruned and
on old trees the rough bark should
be scraped on. 1t is surprising the
number of egg masses that Will be
found under the rough patches of
bark.
II will be comfort to the fruit
men to know that all of their pruning
and spraying may be done this fall
and have the spring for other work.
But most important Of all. it Is ah-
soluteIy necessary that your oil be
ordered early. In these times OF
freight delays you must allow plenty
of time for shipping and handling. Or
der now from one OF the oil dealers.
