to efifectively poison larvae hatching a month after the last spraj-ing 

 was applied. 



President Glenn "W. Herrick: Have j'ou found eggs of the 

 moths appearing in the spring? 



Mr. W. H. Goodwin: Yes. 



President Glenn W. Herrick: Where are they usually laid? 



]\Ir. AV. H. Goodwin: On the stems of the j'oung grape cluster. 

 The late moths of this brood deposit them on the small berries. 



^Ir. AV. C. O'Kane: One of the most interesting and valuable 

 features of this paper is the wslx it illustrates and emphasizes the 

 importance of timeliness and thoroughness in the application of a 

 remedy. ]Mr. Goodwin has not used any different remedies from what 

 have been used before, but his success is due to the way he has worked 

 out the manner of application and the time of it. 



President Glenn W. Herrick: ]\Ir. J. L. King will now present 

 his paper. 



NOTES ON THE CONTROL OF THE LESSER PEACH TREE 



BORER 



By J. L. IviXG, Cleveland, Ohio 

 (Withdrawn for publication elsewhere) 



President Glenn W. Herrick: Is there any discussion or 

 questions to ask ]\Ir. King? 



I was interested in one point namel}', that the paper emphasized the 

 fact that a substance effective in one territory under certain climatic 

 conditions is sometimes of no avail in a wider territory or different 

 cUmatic conditions. 



I would like to ask if the asphaltum used was of the same grade as 

 that used in California? 



]\Ir. J. L. King: Yes sir. We wrote to the California people 

 and bought from the same firm. 



I want to emphasize the fact that had I drawn my conclusions in the 

 fall of the same season that the asphaltum was applied, the results 

 would not have appeared so destructive but instead I allowed the 

 trees to remain through the winter so as to get the effect of freezing. 

 This seems to have brought out fully the injurious effect of the asphal- 

 tum upon the bark. 



President Glenn W. Herrick: How was that applied? In 

 continuous rings? 



Mr. J. L. King: In some cases rings about the base of the trunk 

 and in others over the wounded areas of the bark.
