Pests Must Be
Battled to Save
Oregon's Apples
i Portland Oregonian.l
Winter buds on the fruit trees

that means mainly to the practi

In the return of vernal growth as
realization that the spraying son

knows that if he does not spray
often and plenty (mm February
to late August he will harvest
If he harvests at nil wormy and
diseased apples. -
It is hard for the oldster who
knew Oregon when there was no
Kiich tiling as a worm in an ap
ple to realize that nowadays no
apples worthy of the name can be
raised except bv fallowing a rigid
spraying program through the J
growing season. It is true never
theless. The best alternative to
fighting the pests Is to cut down
the orchard trees and burn them.
They will produce nolhing worth
while without man-made help and
protection.
To the tyro in apple growing a
first look at a spray program for
I he season Is a fearsome thing.
The ever helpful extension serv
ice of the stale college calls, In its
apple-spray bulletin, for leu appli
cations at ten different limes of
various mixtures and concoctions
aimed to kill or discourage a va
riety of im'sIs. One must spray
when the buds are dormant,
again when they show green,
when they are pink, when three
fourths of the petals have fallen.
From the time when the baby
apples form until they reach ma
turity on the trees six cover
sprays must be applied to insure
sound fruit. Materials range from
Bordeaux through lime sulphur,;
writable sulphur, lead arsenate,'
to nicotine sulphate and oil ehiul
slon. The whole program Is the
result of cxiorlment and demon
smiled results. It Ik formidable
and lis execution is Irksome, but
It is the only route to sound ap

few years they started harvesting
apples mid none were better.
