October 



ing for the aphids, but the majority 

 have not on account of anticipating hot 

 weather. 



Apple Powdery Mildew — There has 

 not been as much spraying for apple 

 powdery mildew as during the previous 

 year, yet the disease has been worse in 

 some parts of the valley. Many apples 

 will be put in the C grade which other- 

 wise might have been put in the higher 

 grades, had the growers sprayed. 



Codling Moth — The growers in gen- 

 eral are doing better spraying and seem 

 anxious to apply the spray at the proper 

 time. We advised an intermediate 

 spray begining June 27, to July 4, and 

 many are spraying. We find two dis- 

 tinct stages of codling moth larva. 

 The older worms are just emerging 

 from the apples and the younger stage 

 just entering, so you can see what we 

 may expect during July and August. 



June Drop — The June drop has been 

 very heary and especially so in those 

 orchards that were hit hard with the 

 late frosts. We have lowered our esti- 

 mate about 300 carloads on account of 

 the June drop. 



Fire Blight — This disease seems to be 

 gaining headway all over the valley, 

 partly on account of weather conditions 

 and aphids and carelessness on the part 

 of many growers. The Grandview, 

 Buena, Parker Heights and districts ad- 

 jacent to the city of North Yakima are 

 becoming generally infected.

 and Yakima Counties were submitted to

 tion; Horticultural L!nion, Richey-Gil- 

 bert Company, Shrader Company, Re-

 cars; peaches, 40 cars. These estimates 

 were submitted by Mr. Luke Powell, 

 inspector at large, Prosser, Washing- 

 ton.

 For Walla Walla and Columbia Coun- 

 ties the following car-lot estimates 

 were carefully made and are considered 

 very conservative estimates of the apple
