SUMMER MEETING AT LOUISIANA. 



101 



Mr. Goodman — It is very much like the curculio, but bores a round 

 hole, and goes through its transformations in the apple instead of the 

 plum. The little hard knots you find in the apple are made by the 

 gouger. It is much harder to fight than the codling motb. 



Mr, Husman — We hang up vessels of sweetened water and build 

 bonfires in the orchard at night, and one of the most effective ways is 

 to keep hogs running in the orchard. I have had them in my orchard 

 and we have not had nearly as many codling moth as before. 



Mr. Patterson — I have looked in the apples found on the ground, 

 but have never found a worm in one of them, and hence, I believe the 

 hogs would do no good. We get many with paper bands.
