 look inrttier Mheiui and iJ[ive full con- 

 sideration to what the results will be 

 at harvest, or selling time; that is, what 

 return.s the investment will yield, 

 rather than take into account only the 

 cost of the material you use and the 

 labor to apijlx it. 11 is rare that the 

 omission of one oi' two applications of 

 spra\. in oi'dei' lo save a small expense 

 eai 1\ in Ihe year, does not result in a 

 far greater loss at the end of the sea- 

 son. It would be folly to spend •'i'l.i.OO 

 per acre on orchard si)raving lo give 

 85 per cent clean fruit and stop there 

 when S.i.dO i)er acre added to this 

 would give you !)8 per cent clean fruit. 

 There has been much complaint this 

 year as to the enormous number of 

 side worms. Many groweis report 

 very few api)les lost from calyx worms, 

 but in some cases one-third of the crop 

 was rendered unmarketable by injury 

 from side worm.s. \o single explana- 

 tion coidd cover all the conditions in 

 all sections which might tend to pro- 

 duce this stale of afl'airs. It is gener- 

 alh conceded that in any section where 

 conditions will ijcrmit three broods of 

 woiiiis per year that each worm ma- 

 luring from the lirsl brood will mean, 

 in the absence of control measures, at 

 least (iOfl worms before the season is 

 over. .Also most of the apjjles injured 

 by calyx worms early in the season will 

 fall fi-om the trees before maturing. 

 Furthermore, if the calvx cup is well 

 filled with arsenate of lead it will 

 usualh remain etfeclive Ihroughoul the 

 season, killing all worms that attempt 

 to enter the fruit at this place. It is 

 rare that side worms are found early 

 in the season, largely because so few 

 worms are jjiesent at thai time as com- 

 Ijared with the enormous increase later 

 in the year. While undei- noinial con- 

 ditions 80 lo 8,') ])er cent of the first- 

 brood worms may enter through the 

 calyx cup only some 10 to 20 per cent 

 of Ihe later broods of worms on un- 

 spra\ed trees enter the fruit at that 

 point, while Ihe other 80 lo 90 i)er cent 

 go through Ihe side. The principal 

 reason, therefore, during normal sea- 

 sons, for Ihe great number of side 

 worms late in the season is very largely 

 because of the ntmiber of worms |)res- 

 enl to infesi Ihe fiuit. In 1!)!,') it seems 

 evident that fewer of the fii-st-brood 

 woi-nis enteied the fruil throiruh Ihe 

 calyx and more throuab the side than 

 is nornially the case. Due to cold, wet 

 weather the first brood (the worms 

 hatching from eggs deposited b\ moths 

 emerging from over-winlcring larvae) 

 was delayed and stiiing out over a 

 longer period of time; the ai)|)les were 

 larger and smoother by Ihe time the 

 later ai)i)earing first-brood worms had 

 emerged, and these worms found easy 

 access through Ihe side of the apples, 

 'file remedy is more careful and nioie 

 persisleni, Ihorough spraying, kejit up 

 continuallx through good >ears and 

 had, to keep Ihe number of worms 

 snllicienlly reduced to prevent the ap- 

 pcaiance in gical numbers at an\ time.
