Mr. Stay haa iaaued instruction, instruc-tion, to fruit growers on how to combat com-bat this and other harmful insects. He eays: "The molt effective remedy fa the black leaf tobacco eitract used' at the strength of one part tobacco extract to eixtv parte water, and spray on the under sides .of the leaves with Hue mist eprar. "Do not nae arsenate epraye for the apple and pear trees in fighting the coddling moth or apple worm until the blossoms fall from the trees, but do so ss soon aa possible after the blossoms have fallen; then be sure yoa have the force to put it into the calyx cups of the fruit. Now is a good time to get your pumne in order and test them on sphis before you commence on the coddling moth. Be sure that all of last year's bands are off of the trees snd kill all worms that may be left over winter. Bands do not need re- ? lacing on treea at present, but later or the second brood of worms. "Most every apple orchard in the county haa enough fruit to insure it worth while to spray against the coddling cod-dling moth." |
