FARMERS AND FRUIT GROWERS
BEGIN TO COMBAT APPLE SCAB
INFECTION MAKES APPEARANCE
AND SPRAYING is ADVISED
CurculiO and Peach Moth Make APP
pearance-GrOwers Urged to Take
the Situation in Hand

Apple scab in New Castle County
shows greater prevalence than usual,
and Fruit Infection is also showing up
This and other information regarding
the proper spraying Of orchards in
New Castle County has been released
this week through the Office Of County
Agricultural Agent, Ed Willim, Jr., Of
Newark. DR.. J.F. Adams, Plant Path
ologist of the State Board of Agricul-
ture is the author Of these spray
notes.
Exceptional weather conditions al
ways bring disturbances and increase
the difficulties of producing quality
fruit. The cool wet weather has con
tinued since our. last notice about four
weeks ago. A summary of conditions
now show that pests Of various sorts
have greatly increased and are. in
greater prevalence than last year.
Apple scab has shown continued de-
velopment. Where this disease has
become troublesome one can account
for it because failing to make early
cultivation and timely spraying, es-
pecially spraying from the ground.
Kent and New Castle Counties show
greater prevalence and fruit infection
is showing up. Those experiencing
heavy leaf and fruit infection should
find it profitable to use Bordeaux Mix
ture at this time to check possibilities
Of secondary infection. Well cultivat-
ed and sprayed orchards are not show
ing more than a trace of leaf infec-
ton. Fire Blight has had ideal wealth
er to put in appearance and twig and
fruit infection is generally found.
Normal weather will greatly assist to
hold this in check. Cedar Rust is very
heavy where exposed to infected red
cedars and the infection has continued
over a long period because Of the wet
weather. Frog-Eye-Leaf spot is ex-
ceptionally common but the last two
summer sprays have held it in check.
Apple Blotch is not active probably
because Of cool weather. Spray in
jury especially arsenical is common as
the foliage is soft and trashy and very
sensitive. Curculio has been on the
rampage. DR.. Dozier is offering a
comment on this pest as well as codl-
ing moth.
Codling Moth emergence, and the
deposition and Matching of eggs has
been greatly delayed this season owing
to the abnormally long cold spring.
This has only added to its irregularity
and makes it absolutely essential for
