CORNER FIRST AND OAK STREETS 

 PORTLAND, OREGON 



From the results that were obtained 

 during the past year it is safe to say 

 that two well-timed, thorough applica- 

 tions will control the first generation 

 of worms even in an orchard in which 

 codling moth during the year previous 

 destroyed 50 per cent of the crop. 



On account of a very light crop exist- 

 ing in the experimental orchard, the 

 owner felt that he could not afford to 

 make many applications during the 

 season. A greater portion of the or- 

 chard was sprayed as shown in Experi- 

 ment 4, which permitted an infestation 

 of 9.7 per cent over a greater portion 

 of it. One summer application was 

 made on August 10. It was well 

 directed for an ordinary infestation as 

 this was the time at which the first 

 eggs of the second generation were 

 beginning to hatch. The single appli- 

 cation proved wholly inadequate and 

 a very serious infestation occurred 

 during late summer. This pronounced 

 increase in the number of wormy 

 apples is shown clearly in Experiment 

 3. On July 15, .8 per cent only of the 

 fruit was found to be infested; at har- 

 vest time this had increased to 17 per 

 cent wormy and, owing to the fact that 

 16 per cent possessed "stings," a total 

 fruit loss of 33 per cent occurred. 



The outcome of our experimental 

 work during the past season makes it 

 advisable that the station recommend 

 two different schedules of sprays to 

 be applied in handling the codling- 

 moth situation during the coming sea- 

 son. The use of one or the other will 

 be dependent upon the degree of in- 

 festation that occurred in the orchards 

 during 1915. Orchardists must decide 

 upon one or the other and follow it 

 throughout the season or poor control 

 will probably result. 



The first two applications will be the 

 same in both cases; that is, the calyx 

 and "30-day" spray, for the control of 

 the first brood of worms, ^^'here a loss 

 of not more than 8 per cent was expe- 

 rienced in 1915, one well-timed sum- 

 mer spray should prove very elTective 

 in controlling the second generation. 

 This should be applied in early August. 

 The dale will be dependent upon 

 weather conditions and the station 

 will give out information at the time. 

 Where the infestation during 1915 was 

 found to be more than 8 or 10 per cent, 

 two summer applications should be 

 made to control the codling moth. The 

 third spray should be made about July 

 20 and the fourth toward the middle or 

 last of August.
