Agent Advises Spray should be applied to all sweet, sour and seedling cherry trees no later than June 15, ac cording to Cliff B. Cordy, coun ty agent for horticulture. According to Cordy, the trees should be sprayed with three pounds of methoxychlor to 100 gallons of water. To get thor ough coverage a power sprayer" should be used, he added. To spray small trees, Cordy said, two heaping table spoons to three gallons of water with a hand sprayer will be adequate. Cordy added that if the cher ry owners intend to ship their cherries it is advisable to apply a spray that does not result in White spots on the cherries as Methoxychlor does. In this case, he said, cherry trees should be sprayed with TEPP at the rate of one half pint of 20 per cent per 100 gallons. He explained that TEPP is very toxic when applied but aft er 24 hours it changes to gas and volatilizes. Spraying will have to continue for five or six day intervals un til after the harvest, Cordy said.
