 previous .spia.\ iiii^s, add Bhuk Leaf "lO" 

 (at rate of 1 pint to 200 gallons dilute 

 lime suli)hur or hoideaux mixture). 

 When apliis infestations are heavy, or 

 when woolly aphis is present, and 

 where a moi-e peneti-ating preparation 

 is desired, it is advisable to make an 

 extra application with distiUate-oil 

 emulsion (.3 pei- cent) plus Black Leaf 

 ••■10" (1 pint to 200 gallons). Where 

 mildew is prevalent along with aphis 

 infestation, atomic sulphur, distillatc- 

 oil emulsion and Hlack I^eaf "-lO" may 

 l)e used togethei- for this "pink" spray. 



A.s soon as most of the petals have 

 fallen from the tree it is time to spray 

 tor codling moth and any leaf-eating 

 caterpillars thai may be present, and 

 the important spraying for mildew, 

 also time for the second spraying for 

 scab and for any green aphis that have 

 not been killed b.y previous treatments. 

 I'se arsenate of lead paste, 4 to 5 

 pounds, or ai-senate of lead powder, 2 

 to 2% pounds to 100 gallons of water, 

 tor codling moth and chewing insects, 

 adding atomic sulphur at the rate of 12 

 pounds to each 1(10 gallons of water for 

 scab and mildew. If green aphis, 

 woolly aphis or thrips are present add 

 Black Leaf 'MO" at the rate of 1 pint 

 to 200 gallons. .All spra\ing must be 

 (lone undei- high jjiessure and ever\ 

 I alyx cup should be tilled. L'se a tower 

 platform on the spra\ machine to en- 

 able one man lo sprav from above and 

 rover all poitions of the trees and fruit 

 luids not thoi'oughh sprayed from tlic 

 ground. 



If this spraying is thoroughl> done, 

 the second application should be ap- 

 plied from three to four weeks after 

 the petals fall from the trees, using

 pounds to 100 gallons of water, for cod- 

 ling moth, with atomic sul])hur, 10 

 pounds to each 100 gallons of water, for 

 scab and mildew. In addition to its 

 value as a fungicide, atomic sulphur 

 will elTectually control any red spiders 

 or mites that may be present at this 

 time. All of the aphis, both the green 

 aphis and jjurple aphis, should have 

 been killed prior to this time. How-

 .$100 anionf; Ibe displays for irrigated districts 



ever, if woolh aphis is present. Black 

 Leaf "40" should be added to the dilute 

 arsenate of lead and atomic sulphur. 



The third spraying for codling moth 

 should be ajjijlied about ten weeks after 

 the petals fall. 'Ibis may be definitely 

 known foi- each section by collecting a 

 large number of lirst-bidod worms and 

 allowing Ihcm to puijale among rags or 

 paper in a cage suspended in a tree, or 

 kept in the shade on the ground. Spray 

 when the first moths emerge in the 

 cage, as the \oung worms will begin 

 entering the fruit within a week or ten 

 days after the moths begin thing. If 

 scab, mildew, red spider or mites are 

 present, use atomic suli)hiir at the rate 

 of 10 pounds to each 100 gallons of 

 water, adding arsenate of lead as usual 

 for codling moth. 



The treatment outlined above, it 

 properly ap|)lied, will ell'ectively con- 

 trol codling moth, fungus scab, mildew, 

 red spiders and green aphis. Where 

 atomic siilplnir is used at each applica- 

 tion it will greatly reduce the infection 

 of leaf ho|)pers when such are present. 

 Where scab and red spiders are not 

 present and atomic sulphur is used 

 onh for mildew, (i to 8 pounds to 100 

 gallons of water will be siillicient con- 

 cenli'alion. Mowevcr, for scab use at 

 least 12 pounds to each 100 gallons. In 

 scitions where late infestations of cod- 

 ling moth cause injury a fourth appli- 

 cation of arsenate of lead may be 

 advisable.
