FARM BUREAU NOTES

The second brood OF codling moths
; have already begun emerging in the
Payette Heights section, The spray
should be completed in that locali-
ty by July cath or earlier; in the
New Plymouth section, in the Hill
orchard we should expect the first
worms by August list. The other To-
calities of the valley will come in
between these dates, and in general
the spraying should be about COM
/ pleted by July 25th, to be safe, un>
less you know by accurate observa>
tions that you can wait longer.
/ Possibly few may find it neces-
sary to spray earlier than these
dates because of unusual conditions.
There are many orchards where this
second brood spray could be profit
ably delayed if the grower had care
Ffully banded and watched his trees.
The one thing that has been most
strikingly brought out by our study
lis that it will be necessary for each

and make accurate observations thru
out the season.
This spray for the second brood
should be followed in many orchards
with another in two to three weeks.
And here again if the orchardist has
kept accurate watch of his orchard
and the stages of the insect he will
know whether an additional spray
is necessary or not in his orchard.
If he has not kept watch, he had bet
ter spray it as insurance against late
worms, for in many orchards there
are going to be an abundance of
these late stung apples; this is due
to the long time over which the first
brood emerged, the late first brood
worms will emerge into moths in
late summer and lay eggs that hatch
into late second brood worms So to
be safe apply spray two to three
weeks after the first one for the
second brood, unless you know it
will be unnecessary.
Be especially thorough in apply
ing the spray this time. The apples
are larger now and will grow rapid,
ly as they mature and this makes it
necessary to thoroughly cover the :
apples. Hit each apple from several t
angles. Spray from the outside of S
the tree inward, and from the in /
side outward, and shoot up through I
he center of the tree and it will be o
better If you shoot from above, or

iround the tree hit it from at least
TX angles. If you spray that way q
'ou will cover your apples. other t.
wise you will leave sides not cover h
ID with poison and that means stings Il
nd CO. grade apples at the best, or a

worms for the next year.
There are at present many aphis O.

asily be destroyed by spraying with
black Leaf 40" according to direc- a
ions on the can, but be sure to add g
ONE soap about one and one-haIf II
ound to fifty gallons of water. This d
especially necessary if you are
praying such plants as cabbage,
eets or rutabagas with smooth h.
aves. Raspberries and roses areI b,
