GOOD HINTS FOR oRcHARDlST
Thorough and Complete Covering
Is Essential in Spraying-Thir'-
ming Is important.

It should Be remembered that thor
ough and complete covering with
the spray is essential to success. 1t
Is not enough to try to hit the fruit
that the sprayer sees but he must
cover all the tree. The successful
sprayer goes back and checks upon
himself to see whether he has missed
any spots or not. Special attention
should be given to the tops of the trees
and no one should attempt to spray in
a high wind.
CAREFUL thinning is another irnpor-
tant orchard practice which should be
regular part of the codling moth
campaign. This should be done early
and the thinner should be instructed
to pocket the wormy apples so they
can be carefully destroyed. Probably
the surest and simplest way to do this
is to dump them into barrel half
full of water with a little kerosene on
top. esss
The trees should be carefully pruned
and opened up so that the spray can
reach all parts of the tree without diff
Guilty. It may be necessary to head
back old trees severely. 1t is some
times necessary or desirable to recon-
mend that burlap bands be placed
around the trunks of the trees where
infestation is heavy. These should be
removed about one in two weeks dur
ing the summer and any cocoons found
destroyed. Cultivation will kill some
Of the larvae in the ground and atten-
ton should also be given to packing
houses or other buildings where the
old boxes are stored that may contain
many ALTERNATING larvae. The grower
should also keep an accurate record Of
his spray program, including notes on
the weather so that he may be able
to check back on his successes or
failures.

She Figured It out.

A youth in an Indianapolis school
was absent from school for a number
of days. A teacher, who shows real
interest in the progress of her pupils,
called the mother on the telephone
and inquired concerning the lad.
Johns afraid to come back" said
the mother. HE says you threatened
to- throw him into the furnace.
Perplexed. the teacher for a day or
two wondered what could have put
that silly notion in the boys head.
Then she remembered. Some days
before she had told that class some
recaicitrants had been absent more
days than good scholarship permitted.
She had announced to her class. then
that II these persons missed another
session she would be compelled to
''drop them from the register"
