In order to he most effective the
scraping should be done before
April l. but the bands need not be
applied until early in June. All
pieces of bark removed by scraping
should be picked up and burned
so as T. destroy the hibernating
codling moth larvae attached to
this bark.
The first edition of spray notes
contained also suggestions by Ell
mer W. Greve. research horticul-
turist, of the Delaware Experiment
Station. in regard to the fertiliza-
ton of fruit trees provided they
were not fertilized last fall. A
12-year-old apple tree should re-
ceive about 3 pounds of nitrate.
and a 2O-year-old tree about 5
pounds. while a G-year-old peach
tree usually can use about 2
pounds of nitrate as compared 10
3 pounds for peach trees from 3 TO
10 years of age. The fertilizer
should he spread beneath the tree
and slightly beyond the spread of
the branches in a circular man
ner. and care must be taken to not
apply the material too close to the
trunk. If difficulty is experienced
in obtaining commercial nitrogen
in the form of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia. moderate
amounts of poultry manure can he
substituted to good advantage. For
the benefit of cover crops in the
orchard il is recommended that 300
pounds per acre of 0-12-12 fertil-
izer he used when the seed is sOwn.
Fruit growers desiring assistance
with their orchard problems this
year are requested to notify the
county extension office. and these
field trips by specialists will be
grouped in order to save transpor-
tatiOn.

Official Denies Meat
lis Hoarded in Lockers

By the Associated Press.
H. L. Titus, president of the Ma
tional Frozen Food Locker Associa-

truth to a charge that meat was
being boarded in country food lock-
ers.
John A. Kotal, secretary O. the
National Retail Meat Dealers Asso-
ciation, said in Chicago Friday that
millions Of tons" of meat were be-
ing boarded in such lockers, con-
tributing to shortages in urban areas.
Mr.. Titus reported that the total
capacity of the Nations locker sys-
tenn was only about 10000 tons. A
recent survey showed, he said, that
less than $4,000 tons of meat was
stored IN them. This, he added, was
about normal for this season.
Frozen food lockers" Mr.. Titus
said, ARE contributing to our ns-
tional wartime food program by pre-
serving backlog of country stored
food, thus releasing commercially
canned and processed products for
urban consumers. The locker in
dustry gives farm people a kind of
ever-normal granary of shared
foods"
