DEMONSTRATION SPRAYING FOR CODLING MOTH (lly A. L. Qualntanco, In Chargo ot Deciduous Fruit Insect Investiga tions, Department of Agriculture.) TELEPHONE CABLE BURNED IN TWO; TROUBLE FOR GIRLS Tho telephone operators at central wero nonDlussed by a myriad of lights that suddenly auiwared on their boards Tuerfa evening, and connection w2 JSst with approxi mately 125 phones, says tho Tidings. Linemen wero sent out hurriedly, but thoy searched in vain for the diffi culty until finally it was traced down to First avenuo in front of the Hotel Park. A gang of Greek laborers in the employ of tho Southern Pacific com pany was engaged in relaying and reconnecting certain iron pipes per taining to tho company's water sys tem leading to the railroad yards, and it seems that they excavated be low a telephone cable carrying a hundred wires. Building a fire in the trench to melt lead over, the heat uiblo in tw and caused mimotion at central and put 125 phones out of commission. A telephono company force worked last night for many hours splicing the cable, to restore tho interrupted connections. Although tho codling moth 1ms re ceived a large amount ot attention from entomologists, horticulturists, and others during tho past fltton or twenty years, and mothods for Its satisfactory control havo long been known and practiced by orchnrdlsts, It is nevertheless true that a largo number of applo growers clthor do not spray for this Insect, or, from lack of thorough and timely appli cations, do not secure satisfactory re sults. In connection with other work at some of tho field stations in tho deciduous fruit insect investi gations ot tho Dureau of Entomology, it has been posslblo to mako demon stration sprayings In tho control ot tho codling moth to servo as object lessons for tho orchardlsts ot tho neighborhood. Tho usefulness of tho work is shown by its popularity among fruit growers, and indicates that, in general, work of this char acter is perhaps as much needed as work along purely Investigative lined. Demonstration Spraying in Vir ginia In 1007. (By S. W. Foster.) The orchard of Mr. J. J. McHenry, where this demonstration was made, is located near the foot of tho Bluo Rldgo Mountains near Afton, In Nel son County. This orchard nite Is very favorable, having a northern ex posure with an elevation of about 1,000 feet, and being partly protected on tho western side by a mixed forest. Mr. McHenry's orchard consists of about 400 Yellow Nowtown Pippin trees and 220 trees ot tho Wlnsap, LImbertwig, and Shockley varieties, all of which wero reported to bo 28 years of age. Some years ago this orchard was very profitable, bu tho prevalence of tho codling moth, to gether with some of tho more 'Im portant fungous diseases, as bitter rot and apple ccab, soon reduced and practically cut off all profits. Along with this the orchard for somo tlmo Troatmont. As bitter rot and ap plo scab had In previous years caused serious Injury ti tho fruit in this or chard, a treatment was plnnned, to control both Insects and fungous dis eases, namely, tho application of Bor deaux mixture with an nrsonlcil add ed. Six applications ot Bordeaux mixture wero made, using for tho first application four pounds of bluo stouo and six pounds of quicklime to GO gallons of water. Arsenate of lead, 2 pound to 50 gallonn, wns used with tho flrut, cecond and fifth applications. Times of application Tho first ap plication (4-C-GO formula of Bor deaux mixture plus 2 pounds of ar senate of lead) was applied Just after the blossoms toll, to fill tho calyx cavities ot tho apples with poison, and, owing to continued unfavorable weather, was very much prolonged, from April 30 to May 9. Tho second application wan mado throo weoks later, about tho tlmo it wns thought that tho moths from tho ovor-wln-terlng larvae would begin to deposit eggs In numbers, that is, from May 21 to 27; tho third application, flvo weeks lator, Juno 24 to 26; tho fourth July 10 to 13. Tho fifth, contain ing arsenate ot lead, for tho second brood of larvae, was applied soon aft er tho first adults began to omorgo from the cocoons ot tho first-brood larvae, July 25 to 29. Tho sixth, being tlo b&l, waa a treatment with Bordeaux mixture alono, and was ap plied from August 12 to 15. Tho outfit used consisted of a largo hand pump with two horizontal cyl inders mounted on n 200-callou tank, and two leads ot hose with 15-foot extension rods, with ddublo Vermorol nozzles. A platform elevated about four feet over tho rear end of tho tank proved very advantageous, es pecially for the first application, as it enabled one mnn to cover the tops of the treeo completely and direct tho spray downwnrd.

Mont Briggs and a traveling man friend, W. T.

Previous to this record, a quartet of experts, consisting of ITnrry Hos ier, Clyde Costello, Will Taylor and Art Smith, hit tho trail for Kenn creek, about 17 miles distant, and hauled in 230 beauties in short order, a catch almost equaling the former one, considering the number of per sons engaged in tho sport.
