TIME TO SPRAY
BY B LEIS
Beaverton, Orb., April 13, 1914.
To The Editor Owl : , .
The time for the first 6praying for fcorms or eodling moth will
be with us in a few days, and for tfe benefit of those that are try
ing to raise clean fruit, I will try to give an outline theme. I man
age my orchard and raise as you know clean fruit out of 2000 boxes
apples, I did not have a half box of wormy or unclean fruit now.
There is from 25 years' practice and not from books, but pracli;al
Experience in my own orchards. Fruit Inspector Atwell says that
we ever raise the best apples in the world, and I know he is right
U3 I have done it for many years, and he also says that I have one
bf the cleanest, if not, the cleanest orchard in the Willamette val
ley, and I think he is risrhti and yoii can do the same. I know there
are many orchards that should and would produce good fruit, bul
for want of care they are making a very poor hog food at its best.
There is a law that we should spray. If there waS not, we would
have no need of an inspector. Now it is impossible to raise gooc1
fruit without spraying; that time has passed long ago.
In spraying for the codling moth or worms, the first spraying
should be made about eight or ten day3 after the petals have fall
jen. Tho apple is then in the proper position to receive the spra
The object is to fill the cup up with poison in a few days. The cuj
will close, and it will be impossible to get any poison, into it, am.
you poison almost all of the first brood on the apple by that mean;..
Use strong pressure, say 125 to 2i0 pounds, 30 as to force the spraj
into the extremity, and I would recommend a Bordeaux nozzle foj
that purpose, and point it downward, as then you will have bettei
results by forcing it into the caly cup. Now thin is your last spra; -ing
for the worms, and if you neglect the spraying you may just i s
well not spray any more during the season .a it will bo but ver
little good, and would not pay to bother with it any more. At thi
spraying there are no worms to kill as they usually do not deposi
their eggs until about tin middle of June. If conditions are favcr
ablo they work mostly at night. I have never seen a codling moth
in the daytime; muchmo-e could be said, but I think I am extend
ing on your space; but I know it will be of interest to many as 1
gat many letters; asking this information.
Now what do I spray with and at what time?
Well, you will have to spnsy at the right time; if that canncl
bo done you might as well not spray a3 I have tried it, and it d'd
not do any gocd whatever. 1 ue from 2 1-2 to 3 pounds of the
Qrasselli Neutral Brand of arsnite bf lead. I find by trying otho
brand; the Grassellis gave the bo3t results and is used by the Hon
River and by mostly all the fruitgrowers' unions, and I am bum
there is no better on the market, fcr pood results get the latter
adding to this 1 1-2 gallons of the Etna brand of lime and sulphi i
solution the first is for worrn.s, the latter for scab. Don't use
Pordeux mixture as it will hurt your fruit making it unsightly arc
about as bad as scab. This is to 50 gallons of water of Aphis ai
troublesome; add to your spray 1 pint of black leaf, 40 to 300 r
water, about the 20th of June spray again with the Eame ingredi
ents, and again about August 20 for the second crop of worms. Al
these sprays I keep on band and for sale, hoping that this will be
of benefit to 6ome of you? readers. I am yours, etc.,

the owners had permitted the

possibly the barn could have
been saved, aa it was when the
