HOW ONE ORCHARDIST REDUCED
WORM LOSS FROM 20 PER CENT
TO A MINIMUM IN THREE YEARS
Frank w. Nelson Of Sunnyslope Tells Interesting and
Instructive Story Of Three Years
Battle with Cooling Moth

One of the most interesting and
instructive crop stories Of the season
in this district is told by Frank w.
Nelson of Sunnyside. But the most
interesting part Of the story is what
lies back of this seasons operations
and results.
This year, to 5000 packed boxes of
apples. Mr.. Nelson will have less
than the equivalent of 25 packed
boxes of wormy apples, or not quite
one half of one per cent. Out of 35
tons of Bartlett pears, there were
not enough wormy ones to fill two
boxes.
Yet three years ago, in 1922, Mr..
Nelson's orchard ran from 10 to 20
per cent wormy besides such heavy
loss from stings that his big crop
failed to pay expenses. He was bad
" discouraged, but determined not
to give up, so he supplied himself
with renewed energy to the task of
finding a solution to the worm prob
lem.

thority in whom had every conf

APPLES GAIN "A
SIZE A WEEK
Experiment Station Says
Growers Should Not Rush
Harvesting of Crop

During apple harvesting season
this year careful measurements were
kept on the fruit for growth. Begin
ming at the first part of the harvest
period the circumstances of hundreds
of apples were taken weekly. This
was done on the Jonathans and De-
licious varieties.
Comparison in growth was also
made between the fruit on Delicious
tree where two pickings were made,
and the fruit on a Delicious tree
where only on picking was made.
1t was found that apples increase
in size rapidly during the harvest
season. The greatest increase is made
during the first week or ten days.
This is the time when most of the
fruit is being picked. The increase in
size of the Jonathans was one size
per week. That is, a Jonathan size
125 would become q 113 if allowed
to remain on the tree six Or seven
more days. Maturity of the fruit and
weather conditions are factors which
will govern picking to large extent
but if possible to delay the picking,
one can readily see increase in num-
Der of boxes produced. The fruit will
also gain much in grade and internal
quality.
Some loss is sustained thru wind
falls. By accurate calculation this was
found to be only per cent for the
first three weeks. Most Of this six
per cent was wormy fruit.
The comparison of Delicious tree
on which one picking only was made
with tree on which two pickings
were made showed that the increase
in size was more rapid on the tree
having portion of the fruit removed.
The reduced load also caused the
fruit to cling more tenaciously tt the
tree. At the close of the harvest sea-
son the tree having only one picking
had dropped % per cent of its fruit
and the tree having two pickings lost
only IL per cent. Three weeks later
the results were still more pro-
nounced. The one-picking tree lost 70
per cent against So per cent from the
two-picking tree. The last figures
have no commercial Importance be-
cause both trees were past the COM
mercial harvest date. The point is
made to bring out the physiological
reaction of the trees to reduced
load of fruit.

dence that lack of thoro spraying
was the cause of my heavy worm in
festation,' said Mr.. Nelson to the
Daily World. "But made up INV
mind that if this were true, l would
overcome the fault. installed a sta
tionary spray system with an engine
capable of producing $50 pounds
pressure. | piped the orchard so COM
pletely that every tree could be cas-
lily reached. / pruned so as to leave
ladder spaces around every tree,
which meant that there were openings
thru which spray material could be
applied to each limb, twig, apple and
leaf.
In spraying first climb up into
the tree, in order to spray the top
and inside thoroly, then work
around the outside, until am sure
that every inch of space has been
covered. soon realized that my adj
visor had told me the truth, that /
had not been spraying with sufficient
thoroness and the results proved what
can be accomplished with the right
methods. My worm loss has decreased
each year, in fact it dropped down
in one year to a minimum, and this
year, we ran thru 800 loose boxes of
Staymans with only half loose box
of wormy apples.
In order to make sure that we are
applying the spray mixture sufficient
" strong to actually kill the worms,
/ go thru the orchard after each
spray and hunt for apples in which
a worm is working. I then examine
the worm under magnifying glass,
to see what effect the spray has had.
If the worm is turning black, / know
that the poison is doing its work,
and if the worm is thru the skin and
still alive, know our solution is not
strong enough. So
81 have quit complaining that the
spray material is not efficient, that
the county agent or the horticultural
department does not give out the
right dates, or that the government
officials are at fault. and have proven
to my own satisfaction that the
worms can be conquered if the spray
ing job is done properly"
Mr.. Nelson has wired many of his
trees to center pole, which prevents
loss or damage to The apples by winds
and does away with the necessity OF
props. He uses picking ladder which
is his own design and invention and
i p q which- he has applied for a pat
tent. It consists of one upright stand
ard to which rungs are bolted on
either side. Being narrower than the
average ladder it can be placed in
smaller openings between limbs.
Mr.. Nelson's crop this year con-
sists of about 5000 packed boxes Of
Winesaps, Rome Beauties, Yellow
Newtown, Stayman and Delicious ap-
pies, besides 35 tons Of pears and sew
eral tons Of cherries. These were all
grown on about eight acres of or
chard, as two canyons cut about two
acres out Of his 1O-acre tract. From
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1925-11-19

one-half acre of pears and cherries
he sold $500 worth Of fruit, all sold
in bulk, with not over 5000 harvest
expenses. -Four cherry trees averaged
$40 each and one huge Lambert tree
produced $50 worth of fruit. The ap-
pie crop alone should be worth $40
600 this year.
Many of the trees are tagged and
a record is kept of the number of
loose boxes taken from them each
year. No fertilizer has ever been APP
piled to the orchard in the 16 years
that Mr.. Nelson has been in charge
except one ton of commercial mix
ture. The apple trees are % feet
apart in most instances and there is
a heavy cover crop of alfalfa.
Gone hears so many blue and dis
tree diseases, pests, accidents and un-
profitable orchard operations" said
Mr.. Nelson, ''that / think it no more
than fair to tell the other side of
the case. In three years my place has
been brought up from losing ven
ture to a very profitable enterprise,
and what has been done here could
be accomplished by any one who is
willing to apply himself intelligently,
Systematically and persistently to the
task. Pruning, spraying and harvest
ing should be personally done or SUI
pervised by the owner, and not left
to hired men. How many retail stores
would succeed if the owners were
away from home during the critical
periods of the year? An orchard
needs just the same personal atten-
tioon as any other business. We

cratical form of government such as,
he said, we are rapidly assuming.
II the Federal Government should
give money to the several States for
the support of the public schools, as
advocated by many prominent people.
1t would amount to Il national Calam-
ity, the speaker said, for the Govern
ment then would be forced to assume
a prominent part in the running OF
the schools in order to protect its in
NeStment.
Senator Wadsworth also spoke of
the many functions of the Govern
ment and urged that instead of enact
ing new laws and further complicating
the Government, Il policy of simplifi-
cation should be adopted.

A Deplorable Incident.

The press of the United States, in
deed, the entire American public
must feel keenly the reflection upon
American journalism and American
manners involved in the query put to
NJ. Caillau1, Frances distinguished
minister of finance, upon his arrival
in New York by a newspa per reporter
tory.
NJ. Caillaux has been chosen by
France to fill one OF the most impor
tant posts in the government OF that
great nation. He comes TO the United
States as the head of mission
charged with most important task
An insult to him becomes. in fact. a
reflection upon the nation which he
represents.
The most charitable Interpretation
that may be placed upon the incident
in which the. reporter questioned NJ
Caillaux about his trial in France. is
that it arose from the Grossest ignor-
ance of what constitutes the courtesy
Que 10 guest OIL the oIl1teu SldICS.
To be discourteous is reprehensible at
any time. But to be discourteous to
guest is objectionable. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any one could desire de-
liberateI to offer insult to the French
minister of finance. And it is to be
hoped that NJ. Caillaux will regard
the incident as one arising out Of in
experience and lack OF knowledge as
to the proprieties.
Freedom of the press, fundamental
in a free country, does not mean IL
cenSe TO insult stranger and a
guest. The blunder in New York har-
Dor yesterday is one that could scarce
ly have been foreseen, and that could
not be repeated. 1t could not have
happened in Washington, where the
representatives of the Nations daily
journals have constant contact with
the officials of this and foreign gov
ernments. America desires TO well
come whole heartedly Frances min
lister of finance.
