CODLING IIOTH SPRAY
RECOMMENDATIONS
(By Leroy Chllds. Hood River Ex
periment Station)
The continued cool weather of the
past month has greatly retarded the
development of codling moth, a fac
tor which has materially delayed the
application of the 30-day, or second
codling moth spray. In view of the
fact that there occurred during the
past year an over-abundance of cod
ling moths, the use- of arsenate of
lead should not be omitted In any or
chard in the valley, that we may not
have a duplication of infestation that
occurred last year. Many moths
over-wintered in the orchards and it
will only be a case of thorough, well-
timed spraying for this pest that we
have clean fruit at harvest.
The many factors that present
themselves at this time makes the re
commendation of a general scab
spray very problematical. The ' in
vestigations carried on by the experi
ment station have not been extended
over a sufficient period of years, cov
ering seasonal variations, to warrant
the use of a fungicide with absolute
safety, yet wo know that with rainy,
drmp weather occurring the present
leaf infestation will give rise to fruit
infestation unless a fungicide of
some sort is used in the next spray,
It is the recommendation of the ex
periment station that each grower
carefully analyse his individual case
and choose 'from one of the follow
ing suggestions as to the method of
procedure he should follow.
The present development of the
codling moth indicates that the lead
should all be on the trees by the 20th
of June. This 's very late to use
lime-sulphur with safety, unless cool
weather prevails or a burning of
fruit may result.
The following suggestions are of
fered to suit the different orchard
conditions:
A Orchard practically free, from
fruit and foliage infection by the 10th
of June:
1: Use atomic sulphur 10 pounds
to 100 gallons, if the material has
been used in one of the earlier
sprays. Add arsenate of lead.
2: Weather cool (not over 80 in
the shade) use lime-sulphur one to
45. Do not drench the trees. Add
arsenate of lead.
3: Weather apparently settled and
not on or after the 10th of June.
Use only arsenate of lead.
B Orchard showing considerable
fruit and foliage infestation by the
10th of June.
1: Use atomic sulphur 12 to 100,
if this material was used in one of
the earlier sprays. Add arsenate
of lead.
2: Or use lime-sulphur one to 40,
Add arsenate of lead.
On account of the high price of
blue stone the use of this material is
almost out of the question. It can
only be used with safety after the
"fuzz" has left the apple. A condi
tion which is not the case this year
on account of the lateness of the
season.
In orchards showing considerable
fungus at the present time it will
hardly be safe to omit the fungicide
even though some burning results,
In three years of experimental work
carried on in Hood River the great
est loss that has occurred in our
lime-sulphur experiments has not ex
ceeded 10 per cent However, this
season is ten to fifteen days later
than we have had to deal with in the
past. A factor which might slightly
increase the injury. Avoid drench
ing the trees with spray at this time
and do not apply anything, even the
arsenate of lead alone, if the weather
is extremely hot; that is, during the
middle of the day.
The uncertainities that we have to
deal with in this last spray clearly
indicates the value of accumulative
data gathered over, a period of years,
to meet the varying conditions and
the necessity of stability in carrying
on such work.
8o the Calf Kept On.
As a train stopped at a little Ohio
station the passengers heard the plain'
five bawling of a calf which was be
ing wheeled along the platform in a
crate.
"There's some one complaining, con
ductor," said a traveler, looking for a
bit of fun.
"Not to me," answered the mild old
ticket taker. "Never heard a passen
ger's complaint with that much sense."

ADVICE ON MIGA-
" TION'ISuWl
(By Gordon O. Brown, Horticultur
ist, Hood River Experiment Station,
June 6, 1916.) -
Despite the fact that precipitation
in the Hood River Valley since Janu
ary first has almost equalled that of
an average entire year, the writer
wishes to call the growers' attention
very briefly to the subject of irriga
tion as applicable to local conditions.
The grower should use every pre
caution to guard against allowingor
chard soils to dry out this season. On
the other hand it is equally important
that a wrong interpretation be not
placed on the above statement In
order to insure best results, it is fun
damentally important to maintain
uniform moisture conditions during
the coming growing months. Just
what this is for each individual or
chard or soil has not been worked
out but in a general way it becomes
a matter of accurate judgment.
The writer has had an opportunity
to visit many orchards thus far in the
valley, especially with reference to
so called "winter injury," and it is
apparent that soil moisture condi
tions have an exceedingly important
bearing upon this subject. Just what
the exact relation may be has not
been determined because of the many
other factors involved, but in most
Instances aggravated and serious con
sequences from winter injury are di
rectly associated with a lack of uni
formity of moisture during the pro
vious growing season.
The only safe recommendation that
can be m de at present is to avoid
extremes. Don't allow the soil to be
come too dry. Don't allow it to be
come excessively wet and waterlogg
ed. Don't expect that irrigation may
be used as a reliable substitute for
proper cultivation.
The ground is becoming dry now
despite all the rain we have had. The
sweeping winds are licking op tons
of moisture hourly, which either must
be conserved by cultivation or toon
replaced by irrigation. The best or-
chardists believe that frequent ex
aminations of the stem, branches, fo
liage and fruit are not enough. The
roots and soil should likewise be ex
amined. The best advice is: find out
where the bulk of the feeding roots
is located, ascertain the nature of
the soil around them, and make fre
quent tests as to the moisture which
it contains A light shower followed
by warm sunshine may refresh the
foliage of fruit trees, but its effect
on the soil is more likely to be injuri
ous than otherwise. A brief, pelting
rain followed by sunshine forms a
crust on the surface of moist soils,
and if this is not soon broken up by
cultivation, it checks the free circu
lation of air in tho soil and also tends
to Increase the amount of water eva
porated. It has been found that the amount
of moisture held by the soil, the
temperature of both soil and air, and
the rate of wind motion are the chief
factors in the evaporation of water
from. soils. In a series of experiments
made at Tulare, California, it was
found that from soils which received
different amounts of water from
June 15 to Sept. 15 that the loss by
evaporation varied from eighty to
one hundred and six per cent
The results of other experiments
have shown that when the water is
applied to the surface of orchard
soils the loss by evaporation is very
great so long as the top layer re
mains moist. The necessity of using
narrow and deeps rills followed by
thorough cultivation is apparent.
