BETTER FRUIT

At the show the women's department 

 was the largest in history. To stimu- 

 late consumption of apples, expert 

 cooks and demonstrators showed how 

 to concoct a thousand and one tooth- 

 some delicacies with the apple as a 

 base. Then, too, several hundred 

 women had their finest pies, jellies, 

 preserves and other home-made apple 

 by-products on exhibition during the 

 week. One of the racks at the show 

 which attracted much attention con- 

 tained apple pies from some of Ameri- 

 ca's famous hotels. The pies from the 

 Clift and the St. Francis in San Fran- 

 cisco were eighteen inches in diameter. 



A new feature this year that prob- 

 ably proved of more interest to the 

 fruitgrower than any other one feature 

 in the Apple Show was the operating 

 packing house. This was a fruit-pack- 

 ing house actually grading and packing 

 commercial apples that were later 

 shipped to the East and marketed. The 

 apples were part of the regular stock 

 of the Spokane Fruit Growers' Com- 

 pany taken from Otis Orchards. In the 

 packing house various methods pre- 

 vailing in the difTerent districts were 

 illustrated. Part of the output was run 

 over the old-style belt sorter, and were 

 size<l and packed by hand. The balance 

 of the output were demonstrated in the 

 conveyors over a Cutler sizing machine. 

 Modern methods were demonstrated in 

 the conveyors that lead from all ma- 

 chines and packing bins to the nailing 

 press and from there to the warehouse, 

 and many other labor-saving devices 

 available for packing and warehouse 

 use were shown in actual operation. 

 The interest displayed by fruitgrowers 

 in this feature was so great that this 

 idea will undoubtedly have to be ex- 

 panded next year to cover a nuich 

 larger space.

Codling Moth Investigations 



r.nntinnod from page 12 



During 1915 by far the greater per- 

 centage of worms of the first genera- 

 tion entered the fruit through the side 

 rather than at the calyx end. In view 

 of this fact it would be supposed that 

 the calyx application would not prove 

 of great value in controlling the moths 

 and that the second codling moth or 

 thirty-day spray, which is applied at 

 the time the eggs are hatching, would 

 be sufficient to keep the insect under 

 control. It is shown clearly that one 

 application, whether it be the "calyx" 

 or the one preceding the hatching of 

 the eggs, will not control the moths. 

 In Experiment 1, where the calyx appli- 

 cation only was apjilied, 10.8 per cent 

 of the fruit was found to be infested 

 by tlie middle of .July. The application 

 was slightly less effective than the one 

 applied oniv at the time that the eggs 

 were hatching (Exp. 4). Tile infesta- 

 tion in this experiment amounted to 

 0.7 per cent. In Exjjeriment .3, where 

 both the calyx and the ".3(l-day" spray 

 were employed, highly satisfactory re- 

 sults were obtained. In this experi- 

 ment .8 per cent only of the fruit was 

 injured by the first generatiortv^of 

 worms.

THE young fellows teach the old ones and the old 

 ones teach the young— that's the ■way it is with 

 W-B CUT chewing right along. Less chewing for feeble 

 jaws, less chewing for husky jaws— but the big point is 

 satisfaction. Never before has there been so much sat- 

 isfaction in so little a chew. It's rick tobacco, W-B 

 CUT is. It makes you feel sorry for the fellows who 

 chew so much of the old kind for so little benefit.
