B, Lcis, of the Aetna Orchards,
Calls Attention of Growers
JUNE 20TH IS THE DATE
lieaverton Man Reminds County
OrchardisU of Codling Moth
IS. Lcis, of tin- Aetna Orchards,
lieaverton, writes tl.n Argus the
following letter which is recom
mended lo all fruit growers -I
"alitor .V rgus -
1 am very liilich pleased to see
so much interest taken in our or
chards. This is true, at least in
my in-jhlioi hood, as I have lo
answer all sorts of ipieslions.
Now, if we have to believe all
we hear ami read the (Killing
Moth arc all silliui; on the f.-n.-es
ready to swoop down on, our
trees lo get in their deadly work
mil destroy our apples. Well, I
do not think there is any can
for it. as I do nut think that the
we illier h is been very favorable,
for tin in thus far.
I have not made it ;i practice
of spraying any sooner than
1 1 ii ii t the L'Olli of June, ami al
ways with :hc best of rcsul's.
This is, of course, the second
spraying for worms; nnd the last
praying comes about August 20.
Out of about I 10 hoves of apples
I found two apples wormy, so I
belie.- I could not do much hel
ler if I spr.iyed three or four
times more. I have an orchard
i mv mind thai I took care of
is! season, the owner being a
nt ii resilient. The crop of lit 17
sold for $.'.'. I believe that ev-:
i I'V apple had t i-oiii J lo .1 worms
(this was -i J I acre tract). I gave
il the usulal spraying and as I
was I ld by the purchaser of llni
crop I here were viol over one per
nl of worms I believe that is-
not so had. if we consider that
last season it was almost next to
impossible to keep the worms out
of the fruit, as it seemed the Cod
ing Moth hatched all of the
growing season. For this second
spray ing I use 2 lbs neutral arse
nate of lead paste to fit) gallons
of water. 1 he Mime formula ii
il-.o used for the last spraying
il. nit August 201 Ii. I find in niv
10 years of orchard iractiee tt .it
three sprayings with arsenate of
ead will control the worms if the
work is done at the proper time,
and, of course, thoroughly. In
my last letter I spoke of pow
dery mildew (it seems to be very
prevalent) and also how to con
trol, ns r. comnu tided by the IT.
S. Dept. of Agriculture. Hy my
own experience the Summer
pray recommended by them I
found effective, 'some years ago
I was awarded 100 Jonathan
apple trees for having the best
ipplcs on exhibition. When the
tries wire small 1 gave them the
usual winter treatment and prun
ing, but did not spray them dur
ing Summer except for apples,
using Rlack Leaf 10. They got
infested badly will, the powdery
mildew. As soon as they begun
to set fruit I sprayed with lime
and sulphur, summer strength, 1
o 0. and the mildew all disap
peared. Xtfiv. as I am speaking
of m practi -al experience in mv
own orchard. I would recom
mend getting F.xtension Rulletin
K Orchard Sprav Program, for
1 !!!. It is full of useful infor-
mat nm
asking,
count y
and can be bad for the
or, I think, from the
