in sbapo to take thu matter up at

is tho danger of reopening important
legislation the legisla

questions desired."
The stuto grange sets forth a

that it is "hardly worth while to call
an extra session."

TIME TO SPRAY FOR CODLING MOTH
Tho first brood moth 1ms just nii'in'ori and egg laying for tho second brood
worm will take placo within a very few days. Wo shall expect to find tho second
brood larvae appearing in about ten days, so that applo trees should bo sprayed
at least, before August 5th. A careful examination of a largo number of speci
mens indicato that thero has boon a considerable difference in time in tho appear
ance of tho wintored-ovor larvae from lust year. In other words, while we find
tho first brood moth appoaring thero aro quite a largo number of young larvae
of tho first brood which havo been in the apple for only a short time. There aro all
gradations, thohiforo, from tho moth to tho larvae of a few days old. Tho larvao
just emerging from tho applo will roquiro approximately 18 to 21 days before
emerging from its cocoon as a perfect moth. It will bo seen, therefore, that wo
will havo a succession of young larvae tending to go into the fruit for tho next (J
weeks or more. Tho codling moth broods this year havo been vory straggling,
henco moro difficult to control where tho spray was not applied properly immed
iately after tho potals of tho applo fell, and another spray 10 days to 2 weeks lator.
This spray should bo tho same strength as tho other sprays, namoly, 4 pounds
of arsenate oflcad to 100 gallons of water; however, tho spray need not bo applied
with so much forco as tho first. Ono hundred pounds pressure should bo suffi
cient, and tho spray should be a fine mist rather than 0011180, as with tho first
spray. Thoro is no objection to tho use of high pressure, say, 150 to 200 pounds,
but tho spray must not bo coai'se. An attompt should bo mado to covor tho fruit
with a vory thin film of spray rathor than to have it applied in largo splashes
which would only partly cover tho fruit.
