Demonstration Spraying In Pennsyl
vania in 1007.
Tho npple orchard used in this
demonstration is situated on n high
bluff nlong the shore of Lake Erie
about a mile north of the village of
North Eeast, Pa. It is bounded on
three sides by steep banks, with wood
on the north nnd cast, nnd open on
the south and west. There are about
250 trees in the orchard, consisting
mainly of Baldwins, with several
rows of Grceninps on the north side
.which were not used in the work. The
trees are about 30 years old; most of
them about 25 feet high, with corres
ponding spread of limbs.
Previous to the spring of 1907 the
orchard had been in sod for many
years, and no pruning had been done
for a like period. Tho orchard was
kept under observation during the
summer of 190C,nnd the condition
of the fruit nt harvest time was care
fully noted. Under tho nmuuKcmont
to which the orchard hnd been sub
jected for many years, tho grass had
been cut for hay, no spraying had
been done, and no fruit hud been
picked from tho trees, although in
100(1 tho ground beneath a large
number of thorn was covered with
fallen fruit, indicating that n fair
crop of fniit hnd set. Somo of this
fmit was picked up mid Bold nt $0.17
per hundredweight for cider-making
purposes. Practically all of this fruit
was injured by tho codling moth nnd
the plum curculio.
On September 5, 1906, n Baldwin
treo was selected as fairly represent
ing the condition of tho trees in tho
orchard; and nil of the fmit then on
tho ground was picked up and class
ified ns to injury by codling moth
nnd plum curculio, and all fruit which
fell to the ground after this date nnd
that picked nt harvest time, was like
wise classified.
The total picked nnd dropped fruit
amounting in nil to 2,700 apples,
showed 95.G2 per cent injury by the
codling moth, nnd G2.55 per cent
bearing egg nnd feeding punctures of
the plum curculio.
Tho owner of tho orchard, at the
suggestion of tho writer, decided to
pruno and cultivato tho orchard in
1907, and it was placed nt the dis
posal of the bureau of entomology
for spraying experiments. Tho trees
were pruned very early in tho spring
and the sod broken up and cultivated
twice later in the summer. One huu
dred and fifty trees, nil Baldwins,
with the exception of a few scattered
Astrnchnus, were laid out into 15-
treo plats, including a check pint, and
treated with Bordeaux mixture and
an arsenical in a way to ascertain
the value of applications nt different
dates. Ono of these pints received
tho usual "demonstration" treatment
for that latitude, and it is from this
pint and the check pint that the data
to be given wero obtained,
Three applications of spray were
made: (First) June 10, immediately
after petals fell; (second) Julv 2,
three weeks Inter, when first eggs of
codling moth wero being deposited;
(third) August 9, when ndnlts 'were
beginning to emerge nnd to deposit
eggs for the second brood. The 5-5
