In 1922, how-! over, It was later than the previous average, being not until the later part of tho second Week. The calyx appll- cation should no(bo regulated by tho calendar,, but should bo timed accord-, ing to the dropping of the petals.

Assessors reports show a less num - ber of sheep on hnnd on March 1, 1922. than on March 1. 1921. Hut reports from a largo number of in - dividual owners show more sheep owned on January 1, 1823, thun on Januury 1, 1922. This would .appear to indicate that marketings during 1922 were lighter than usual. The Sn.,i!?l.''.V'' , .lirtV"!!d ton, has apparently caused the reten tion of ev.e lambs for breeding pur poses, which ordinarily would have fionc Into the feed lots. Tho total of sheep and lamb's on hund Janu ary 1, 1923, would doubtless have been considerably larger, had there not been such unusually heavy losses last spring. . Our special sheep Inquiry shows, for those reporting, that these owners had about 1.4 per cent more sheep and lambs on hand on January 1, 1923 than on January 1, 1922. This total number on hnnd was divided as follows: Lambst 14 per cent; ewes, 82 por cent; wethers 2 per cent; rams 2 per cent. - . ; Tho 1922 spring situation is sum marized In one of the schedules re ceived as follows: Loss on lambs was heavy on account of late spring and shortage of hay. Lamb crup about-50 per cent in this locality." The 1922 loss of sheep and lambs is the heaviest experienced by sheep owners in- many years, one breeder says, "Tho greatest loss . of lambs in 1922 that I have bad since 1892-3. Lost nearly one-half of tho 2000 born,': spring of 1922." Tho principal losses 'Were duo to. leather and feed conditions at lambing time. Coyotes and poisonous plants on the '" range are mentioned as principal cause of summo losses. "The -average .loss ex perienced -by thoso reporting on tho special inquiry was 17.1-per cent, for the year .1922. ., ' - - Sheep owners appear to be fairly well satisfied with tho present finan cial situation. Comments contained in. their replies are of a quite differ ent tone than those of the cattlo men. . 1 ; Sniuc. ' VOne reporter says: VQuito on in crease in1 hogB."

If, however, the weather is .warm or . very warm . fol- lowing the dropping of . the potals, tben tho moUis will emerge at bucc, will come at the tlmo when It has an opportunity of doing the largest pos sible amount of good. This applica tion usually follows about 10 days after tho beginning of the previous application, carrying, however, bo- twecn ono and two weeks according 15th of July. In tho Ashland district, howover, the dates for these applica tions will be a week or 10 days later than at Medford. 4, Fourth application. (First cover spray for the second brood worms.) Tho purpose of this application Is to havo ready a fresh coating of nolson just previous to thn earliest hatching of tho second 'brood worms. Thoso larvno usunlly bcKln hatching about tho 12th to ISth of July in tho general vicinity of 'Medford, but tills tlmo will also depend upon the weather condl- Hons prevailing during the previous part of the season. The best method of determining the exact date for this application is to baud a few trees with burlap bands (after having scrapped off all tho rough bnrk), about the 15th or lfith of Juno, and to examine Uiese hands for the earliest worms to he captured beneatb them. The earliest forms will usually be captijred about tho 18th to 25th of- June, and about 20 to 25 days after these first worms ore raptured It will be time to apply i hrood spray.

The sixth applica tion is not advised except In cases of ' the most severe infestation on apples. . i....Ma third or when Hiere is a iuuui - brood, or when the worms have not already been controlled by the earlier applications. This application Is a combined cover spray for the second and third broods of worms since there are still some second brood worms hatching when the third brood begins to hatch. This spray will best serve its purpose if applied about the last week of August or the first of Sep tember. It is advisable that all second and third brood sprays be applied with a fine mist type nozzle or with gun discs with small openings In order to cover the fruit more evenly, or some of the spreaders may be used to serve the same puriose.
