TIGHTENING CONTROL
OF COOLING MOTH

A special attempt is being made
this year to get all of the new in.
formation worked out by the Expert
1nent Station and that coming to us
from other sources into the hands OF
all orchardists to see what can be
done toward materially lessening cul-
lage from worms and stings in the
fruit crops in the County. Some OF
the communities az a community were
able to control moths to the point
where cullage was comparatively
small last year. A number of fruit
growers have been able to do this
for several years. We believe it should
be possible for the entire apple Sec
tons of Benton County to accomplish
much toward this end by the definite
program this year.
In order to bring before growers
as close up to spraying time as pos
sible series of meetings will be
held, beginning April 10Th and run
ming until April 30th, at which
time different corporations will pre-
sent their information for the bene-
fit of growers.
Mr.. Beaver, with the Yakima Val
ley Spray Company of Yakima, will
be present to discuss codling moth,
their eggs, and their identity; and the
results of a program accomplished in
the Grandview community under his
supervision. Mr.. Beaver has been in
the County for several meetings and
we believe has something well worth
while for growers.
Nc
culture Inspector from Prosser, will
discuss moth traps, their use and the
broadcasting of information secured by
traps under his supervision as a
means of better control. Mr.. Starcher
will also cover methods of installing
traps and bats to be used.
Mr.. Norman Anglin, Horticulture
Inspector in the White Bluffs and
Hanford community who operates an
orchard of his own, and who has been
giving considerable attention to eff
ficient operation of spray machines
will discuss this angle of the work
with the growers. Probably many
feel that they are operating their ma
but we believe that there are many
who could benefit by suggestions
coming from a man who has been
giving special attention to this prob
lem. An efficient machine is neces-
sary to good job Of spraying.
The County Agent will discuss the
general program and the outline OF
The plan for putting the entire pro-
gram over.
The following is the schedule jor
.hese meetings and we trust that
every fruit grower of the County who
ieels that there is chance for him
20 get any benefit from these dis
,ussions will be present.
