DEMONSTRATION SPRAYING FOR CODLING MOTH

Tho telephone operators at central

lights that suddenly auiwared on
their boards Tuerfa evening, and

Linemen wero sent out hurriedly, but
thoy searched in vain for the diffi
culty until finally it was traced
down to First avenuo in front of the
Hotel Park.
A gang of Greek laborers in the
employ of tho Southern Pacific com
pany was engaged in relaying and
reconnecting certain iron pipes per
taining to tho company's water sys

and it seems that they excavated be

mimotion at central and put
125 phones out of commission. A
telephono company force worked last
night for many hours splicing the
cable, to restore tho interrupted connections.
Although tho codling moth 1ms re
ceived a large amount ot attention
from entomologists, horticulturists,
and others during tho past fltton
or twenty years, and mothods for Its
satisfactory control havo long been
known and practiced by orchnrdlsts,
It is nevertheless true that a largo
number of applo growers clthor do
not spray for this Insect, or, from
lack of thorough and timely appli
cations, do not secure satisfactory re
sults. In connection with other
work at some of tho field stations
in tho deciduous fruit insect investi
gations ot tho Dureau of Entomology,
it has been posslblo to mako demon
stration sprayings In tho control ot
tho codling moth to servo as object
lessons for tho orchardlsts ot tho
neighborhood. Tho usefulness of tho
work is shown by its popularity
among fruit growers, and indicates
that, in general, work of this char
acter is perhaps as much needed as
work along purely Investigative
lined.
Demonstration Spraying in Vir
ginia In 1007.
(By S. W. Foster.)
The orchard of Mr. J. J. McHenry,
where this demonstration was made,
is located near the foot of tho Bluo
Rldgo Mountains near Afton, In Nel
son County. This orchard nite Is
very favorable, having a northern ex
posure with an elevation of about
1,000 feet, and being partly protected
on tho western side by a mixed
forest.
Mr. McHenry's orchard consists of
about 400 Yellow Nowtown Pippin
trees and 220 trees ot tho Wlnsap,
LImbertwig, and Shockley varieties,
all of which wero reported to bo 28
years of age. Some years ago this
orchard was very profitable, bu tho
prevalence of tho codling moth, to
gether with some of tho more 'Im
portant fungous diseases, as bitter
rot and apple ccab, soon reduced and
practically cut off all profits. Along
with this the orchard for somo tlmo
Troatmont. As bitter rot and ap
plo scab had In previous years caused
serious Injury ti tho fruit in this or
chard, a treatment was plnnned, to
control both Insects and fungous dis
eases, namely, tho application of Bor
deaux mixture with an nrsonlcil add
ed. Six applications ot Bordeaux
mixture wero made, using for tho
first application four pounds of bluo
stouo and six pounds of quicklime
to GO gallons of water. Arsenate of
lead, 2 pound to 50 gallonn, wns used
with tho flrut, cecond and fifth applications.
Times of application Tho first ap
plication (4-C-GO formula of Bor
deaux mixture plus 2 pounds of ar
senate of lead) was applied Just after
the blossoms toll, to fill tho calyx
cavities ot tho apples with poison,
and, owing to continued unfavorable
weather, was very much prolonged,
from April 30 to May 9. Tho second
application wan mado throo weoks
later, about tho tlmo it wns thought
that tho moths from tho ovor-wln-terlng
larvae would begin to deposit
eggs In numbers, that is, from May
21 to 27; tho third application, flvo
weeks lator, Juno 24 to 26; tho fourth
July 10 to 13. Tho fifth, contain
ing arsenate ot lead, for tho second
brood of larvae, was applied soon aft
er tho first adults began to omorgo
from the cocoons ot tho first-brood
larvae, July 25 to 29. Tho sixth,
being tlo b&l, waa a treatment with
Bordeaux mixture alono, and was ap
plied from August 12 to 15.
Tho outfit used consisted of a largo
hand pump with two horizontal cyl
inders mounted on n 200-callou tank,
and two leads ot hose with 15-foot
extension rods, with ddublo Vermorol
nozzles. A platform elevated about
four feet over tho rear end of tho
tank proved very advantageous, es
pecially for the first application, as it
enabled one mnn to cover the tops
of the treeo completely and direct
tho spray downwnrd.
