In the discussion which followed the question was asked when to spray for codlin moths "You should spray just after the blossom has fallen and continue to ;l-iay every few weeks till the fruit is ready to be picked. Use arsenite of <«tda. lime or lead. "In the vicinity of Hood River, ar enite of soda is used almost exclus iveiy. For apple scab we use one pound of Haris green to 2<»o gallons of water. "The codlin moths which are hatch ed in fruit houses and sheds, may be kept in by putting screens on the w mdows and doors, or they may be lulled by thoiough fumigation with yanide of potassium and bisulphide if carbon. “If you have 10 acres or more of orchard it will pay you to get a gaso- lire power «praying outfit, with a Ror- i aux mixture nozzle. It will do bet- 'er and quicker work than the hand outfit and the Bordeaux nozzle throws n fine mist-like spray. "To prevent currants or goosebei -ies being stung by the fly that stings 'hen and lays its worm in the berry, let your chickens in. they will eat the 'alien fruit and eat the worms.
