DR.. L. A. Stearns, entomologist of
the Delaware experiment station.
For the past several years it has
been the custom of the fruit grow
ers in Kent county to meet some
time during the late winter or
early spring to discuss their spray
programs for the next season, and
the results which they secured dur
ing the past year. These meet
ings have always been profitable to
those who have been in attendance,
and the meeting next Wednesday
evening promises to be of equal in
terest in view of the open winter
and the prospects for a severe
prevalence of insects this summer.
Within the past two years there
has been considerable discussion
among the fruit growers as to the
economic practice of scraping and
banding their apple trees, in addi-
ton to cleaning up their packing
houses, as supplementary control
to efficient spraying for
the control of the cooling moth.
Some interesting facts relative to
these practices will be presented at
this meeting by DR.. Stearns, who
will also discuss the recommended
control measures for other insects
which are common to the orchards
in this section.
