In some sections last year (1914) the 

 apple crop was heavy, prices low and 

 far less than the u.sual care given 

 the orchards, especially insect-control 

 measures. Apples were not picked as 

 closely as usual, some were left on the 

 trees, more on the ground, wormy 

 apples were thrown away with little 

 thought of loss. The season was more 

 open, fair and reasonably warm till 

 late fall, many worms hatching from 

 eggs deposited even as late as harvest 

 time found sullicient food for maturity, 

 all of which resulted in a heavy carry- 



over of worms and a more general in- 

 festation of fruit this past spring than 

 had occurred for some time previous. 

 Weather conditions then interfered 

 with the routine spray operation, in 

 some cases the application was greatly 

 delayed or omitted and sometimes 

 heavy rains followed soon after the 

 spray was applied. Only very few 

 growers took the precaution to repeat 

 the application under these conditions. 

 Those who did so have been repaid 

 many times over. Also there was no 

 regularity in bioods of worms. In

fact there was little distinction or 

 division between the broods this past 

 summer; worms hatched almost every 

 (lay from the beginning of the first 

 brood imtil the end of the last and 

 entered the fruit unless killed. Fewer 

 worms entered the fruit through the 

 calyx and more through the side than 

 is apparently the case during normal 

 years. It was therefore important that 

 the fruit and foliage be covered with 

 poison all the time. Fruitgrowers 

 should fully appreciate by this time 

 the value of the first or calyx spray, 

 for we know that most of the first- 

 brood worms and a considerable per- 

 centage of the later broods enter 

 through the calyx. 



It is very natural for the grower to 

 attribute the failure or lack of success 

 to the material used and often to claim 

 it was faulty. He is often encouraged 

 from one source or another to do this. 

 Those people, however, should remem- 

 ber that maiuifacturers of insecticides 

 for interstate shipment must make them 

 so they will meet the reiiuirements of 

 the federal insecticide and fungicide 

 law. This law governs the standard 

 so far as the contents or anahsis of 

 the spray material is concerned. .\Iso 

 some states are now undei'taking to 

 make all local manufacturers meet 

 these same or similar requirements.
