ed and protected at this time. Codl-
ing Moth eggs are now being laid and
Matched in great numbers and large
amount Of late "sideworms" injury can
be expected. The first Grape Berry
Moth adults issued from old leaves in
the overwintering cage at Camden on
May 28th and Matching of eggs can be
expected this week. Grape leaf-hop-
pers made their appearance in very
abundant numbers this spring but
weather conditions during the past
month has been decidedly against them
and has served to check their develop
ment and multiplication considerably.
Curculio has caused heavy dropping of
fruit and attention is called to the fact
that where feasible the early drops
should begathered and either burned
or buried very deep and covered with
paradichlorobenzine Up. d. B. or Paro-
cide). This measure may seem ex-
pensive but it will repay in the long
run and the growers cannot continue
to let heavier annual infestation be
built up and continue to grow fruit.
Spray Late Apples Now
The third summer spray should be
applied at this time 1t may prove
the most important spray of the sea
son. Do not let the harvest of early
apples interfere. The late apples
must be protected now. Do not de-
lay! What to Foliage and fruit
is very subject to spray injury at this
time. For practical results, and to
reduce the possibilities of fruit russell
ing, use Dry-Mix at rate Of SO pounds
to 200 gallons of water. If CONNER
cial lime sulphur is used, dilute at rate
of ITO. Arsenate of lead must be
used, and pounds should be added
to each 200 gallons of spray. With
Dry-Mix and lead arsenate, add so
pounds Of lime, while with lime sui
phur and lead arsenate, add Is pounds
Of lime. Where bitter rot and apple
blotch are troublesome, it is essential
to use Bordeaux Mixture for control
Of these diseases. Use the 2-4-50
formula, or pounds Of copper sulph-
ate, 4 pounds Of hydrated lime, and
50 gallons of water. Growers equipp-
ed for dusting should continue their
dust schedule, and keep growth pro
tected.
Peach Disease and Spray Mixtures
The June drop and a heavy second
ary drop has been commonly found
CurcuHo, Peach Moth, low tempera-
lures and lack Of feeding are factors
contributing to this disturbance. Foil
age injury is common. Trees low in
vigor show greater reaction to lead ar
senate. This is not because of the
lead but on account of the foliage be
ing soft and trashy Where heavy
drop of fruit has been experienced it
would prove practical to pick it up and
have it destroyed. Further adults Of
curculio and peach moth from this
fruit will be eliminated. The second
