Rnsmua- . sen, horticultural Inspector of Weber , county, has Issued a call to all fruit growers, calling attention to the great Importanco of the apple Industry lo- j cally, and carrying a warning against the apple worm, together with Instructions Instruc-tions for efficient npraylng of the trees. He says tho apple crop this year will surpass all precedents, and . although there Is never any danger of serious overproduction, the abundance of the crop will erv to eliminate the poorer poor-er quality hlch heretofore has flooded flood-ed the lo' markets, but which will not even i ior the handling this year. Not ... ! la Utah one of tho leading states li the- production of apples, but it coul 1 a!o rank high In quality if proper proeautlons wore taken tak-en by orcbardlsts at this season ot the year, he says. The green aphis is the greatest apple ap-ple pest western growers have to contend con-tend with, says the Inspector, and yet fully 90 per cent of these worms can bo killed with the first spraying while the blossoms are still in bloom on the trees. It Is at this season of the yar that the pest begins to develop and can be easily reached, while later on in the season, when they have begun to infest the fruit, all ftnanncr of spraying Is useless. Rasmussen recommends simple tobacco to-bacco solution one gallon to fifty of water, as the best spray for this species spe-cies of worms. |
