CALYX SPRAY ADVISED ON APPLES AND PEARS BEFORE CUPS CLOSE It will soon be time to apply the calyx spray on pear and apple trees, according to the advice of L. O. Gent ncr, entomologist of the Southern Oregon Experiment station and C. B. Cordy, assistant county agent. Grow ers should be ready to make this application when the young fruit has reached the proper stage of develop ment. Apple trees should be sprayed when from 80 to 60 percent of the petals have fallen and before the calyx cups close. Since these may close within a week after the petals fall. It Is very Important that this spray be applied on time. The object Is to fill the cups with poison before they close, so that worms that attempt to enter the calyx later In the season will be poisoned. After the calyx cups have closed It la Impossible to protect the fruit against entry at this point. On pear trees a calyx spray Is ad vised on Bartlett and Cornice vari eties, and on the other varieties If thero has been a worm control prob lem or If saw-fly larvae or green fruit worms are present. This application should bo made when most of the petals have fallen. Use powdered arsenate of lead at the rate of three pounds In 100 gal lons of water, plus one-fourth to one-third pound of spreader. Apply very carefully so as to fill all the blossom ends of all fruits. In case the scab spray program Is being followed, the arsenate of lead may bo combined with two and one half gallons lime sulfur on apples or six pounds wet table sulfur on pears.
