Tho npple orchard used in this demonstration is situated on n high bluff nlong the shore of Lake Erie about a mile north of the village of North Eeast, Pa. It is bounded on three sides by steep banks, with wood on the north nnd cast, nnd open on the south and west. There are about 250 trees in the orchard, consisting mainly of Baldwins, with several rows of Grceninps on the north side .which were not used in the work. The trees are about 30 years old; most of them about 25 feet high, with corres ponding spread of limbs. Previous to the spring of 1907 the orchard had been in sod for many years, and no pruning had been done for a like period. Tho orchard was kept under observation during the summer of 190C,nnd the condition of the fruit nt harvest time was care fully noted. Under tho nmuuKcmont to which the orchard hnd been sub jected for many years, tho grass had been cut for hay, no spraying had been done, and no fruit hud been picked from tho trees, although in 100(1 tho ground beneath a large number of thorn was covered with fallen fruit, indicating that n fair crop of fniit hnd set. Somo of this fmit was picked up mid Bold nt $0.17 per hundredweight for cider-making purposes. Practically all of this fruit was injured by tho codling moth nnd the plum curculio. On September 5, 1906, n Baldwin treo was selected as fairly represent ing the condition of tho trees in tho orchard; and nil of the fmit then on tho ground was picked up and class ified ns to injury by codling moth nnd plum curculio, and all fruit which fell to the ground after this date nnd that picked nt harvest time, was like wise classified. The total picked nnd dropped fruit amounting in nil to 2,700 apples, showed 95.G2 per cent injury by the codling moth, nnd G2.55 per cent bearing egg nnd feeding punctures of the plum curculio. Tho owner of tho orchard, at the suggestion of tho writer, decided to pruno and cultivato tho orchard in 1907, and it was placed nt the dis posal of the bureau of entomology for spraying experiments. Tho trees were pruned very early in tho spring and the sod broken up and cultivated twice later in the summer. One huu dred and fifty trees, nil Baldwins, with the exception of a few scattered Astrnchnus, were laid out into 15- treo plats, including a check pint, and treated with Bordeaux mixture and an arsenical in a way to ascertain the value of applications nt different dates. Ono of these pints received tho usual "demonstration" treatment for that latitude, and it is from this pint and the check pint that the data to be given wero obtained, Three applications of spray were made: (First) June 10, immediately after petals fell; (second) Julv 2, three weeks Inter, when first eggs of codling moth wero being deposited; (third) August 9, when ndnlts 'were beginning to emerge nnd to deposit eggs for the second brood.
