through the papers of your district that 

 the second spray, or sometimes spoken 

 of as the first cover spray, should be 

 given two weeks from the date the 

 moths begin to emerge. Be sure that 

 your specimens are representatives of 

 the sections of your district and from 

 your study of the traps give the date 

 for the entire district. 



"To date the third spraying, put 30 to 

 40 burlap bands around the tree trunks, 

 watch for worms two or three weeks 

 after the second spraying and date the 

 third application 25 days after the 

 lirst worms are caught. These bands 



should be put on the trees immediately 

 after you put on the cones, but put 

 the bands on separate trees. By having 

 the bands and cones in the same or- 

 chard it will be handy for you to take 

 care of both on the same trip. Cut the 

 burlap in strips 12 inches wide and 

 long enough to go around the tree. Fold 

 over 4 inches which will permit an 8- 

 inch flap to hang down the tree. Tie 

 tightly so the worms will crawl down 

 over the burlap and up under the same 

 for protection and pupating. These 

 bands should be about 2 feet from the 

 ground.

"It will be necessary in order to 

 name the spray dates most accurately 

 for you to observe the cones daily in 

 order to determine the date when the 

 first moths are seen under the netting. 

 Refer to the bulletins, from the Univer- 

 sity of Idaho, Utah and Pullman, Wash- 

 ington, which have been sent you, in 

 regard to the life history of the codling 

 moth." 



The district under the supervision of 

 an inspector is sufficiently small that 

 close supervision of details is possible 

 pertaining to each orchard in his dis- 

 trict. The inspectors were authorized 

 to work among the growers, lending all 

 possible aid in securing spray mate- 

 rial, urging repair of spray machinery 

 and better equipment if necessary and

 tomato, cabbage and vine crops. Directs 

 the mixture of all spray materials, tells 

 the proper time for spraying and how 

 to apply each particular spray. You 

 should not be without this Calendar if 

 you grow fruit of any kind. We will 

 gladly send it free. Quality brings the 

 high price and quality is not possible

Dow Powdered 



Lead Arsenate 



Extremely light and fluffy — Dow Pow- 

 dered Lead Arsenate possesses many 

 advantages over the heavier and more 

 granular varieties. It mixes so readily 

 and remains so well in suspension that 

 it entirely covers foliage with a milky, 

 filmy coating. Because it reaches and 

 covers every part of foliage and branch 

 — because it sticks where it touches 

 and because of its high content of as- 

 senic, it has a deadly effect on all forms 

 of foliage eating pests. Dow Powdered 

 Lead Arsenate is a great economy and 

 a great convenience. Managers of large 

 orchards, and directors of state stations 

 have used this product for years and 

 now purchase in carload lots. 



Packed in %, 1, 5. 10, 25, 50, 100 and 

 200-pound containers. Sold through 

 our dealers or direct where we are not
