JN emosi observing an inquiry in a late number of the XE news neus vvs in regard to ta the insect that destroys so great a portion of the tho apples in salt lake late city and a request for information I 1 haste to respond the trouble is caused by tile tiie therod cod ling moth moch or apple worm wo ra of the thic tribe the moth with expanded wings is about three quarters of an inch across it is a beautiful insect at a little distance its wings resembling lustrous lust rous tous watered silk it has large oval brown spots edged with copper co color or on the tho hinder part of the fore foro win wings gsand and by close observation may mv bo be found in the latter part of june juno and through throng h july every evening about the apple trees and sometimes in the tho windows dows inside the house the codling moth has long been known in europe whence it h has as bei bet been n imported to tro america amerida and may easly easily be distie distinguished guislin from all the moths by byr the tho above descal description the head and thorax are brown mingled with abaya gray and the hind wings and abdomen are of a light yellowish brown with the lustre of satin batin it is seldom seen in the tile moth ats att state ate during thelast of juno and through july these moths lay their eggs in in ofle the blossom end of the growing apple the thin skinned summer apple zliff stiff suffering ering ening the most in a few days after the egg hatches hatched and a tiny worm works its ita way into tho the centro centra of the tho apple cutting through the aperture makes a brown powder I 1 the insect 19 is 19 whitish head heart shaped and black the tha finst first and last anc ang or collar ia Is black with little black spots in pairs along its ita back in about three weeks it comes to its full size and is then of tiesh flesh tiesh llesh color and generally makes a passage through the side of the apple to throw out tho the chips or fragments when the injured dj ared apple appie falls falis and often before the matured insect crawls out and hiding under the scales of bark in fd cracks or other covert places winds for itself a white silken cocoon and sometimes aa a a few d days ays changes to a moth and again lays eggs for the destruction of later fruit but usually the ca cocoon coon remains remains unopened until the tho following june the chry chrysalis sammi is i of a bright mahogany color and has across each of th the wings ewings on hind part of the body two rows of spin spines es or prickles brickles pr ickles these insects have doubtless b been ee n imported in fruit from callao california ania or the older state states S they soon breed to an infinite number if not hot checked or destroyed and will not only ruin all the tho apples but attack pears and some other fruits people who enjoy the he delicious apple should guard with a jealous care that hp apples are not carried earned from an infected district to ong one that is free and I 1 think the legislature would be ju justified stifled in passing I 1 laws ws to protect districts not infect infected ed by making it a pe penal I 1 offense offence to transport the infected fruit to such place places for let there liea bera pair of moths from the the worms carried in the tho appie apple and aiple arple there themas is enough seed reed to ru ruin athe tile apples ofa ora whole

hung il to the limb of an apple tree will wil 1 entrap some fires at night evening in the orchard will destroy many scrape your rough barked trees when the cocoons are formed trim in lif your trees well and let in it all the sunlight you can and better than any perhaps hang plenty of old rags about the limbs and forks of the trees at the time the worms are about matured and in III crawling down the limbs they will take covert and make cocoons under the rags where they can easily ba cap capi i aured all the injured fruit that falls e early arly or immature contains worms and arid should every morning be gathered up and destroyed or the tho worm will wil I 1 pass out and fl nind find ad a place among the weeds or rubbish to make its cocoon wind a rag around the body of the tree and placa place scraps of or boards under the tree all ali these traps ard and rags exam annino ino daily and destroy ile flo the insects n J E jonnson JOHNSON anso |
