INDIANA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 303 



Joe A. Burton: I think that iNh-. Sandifer did not spray just at the 

 right time for the canlier worm. I think Mr. Flick does. I think the 

 best time to spray for that worm is just after the little leaves open; 

 then you have something to put the Paris-green on. The insects will then 

 eat the Paris-green and die. If you spray just when the buds are swell- 

 ing, you don't put your Paris-green on anything that the worm is going 

 to eat. If you Avait till the little leaves are out, you have something to 

 put it on. We have quit spraying just at the time the buds swell. We 

 wait later, and we hit the proper time for the worm. 



C. M. Hobbs: A pound of Paris-green to fifty gallons of water for 

 the canker worm. You want to use these very strong proportions in 

 order to kill them. Use it early if you want to kill them. 



Joe A. Burton: We have had a great deal of talk about apples, espe- 

 cially, and this matter of spraying seems to be a paramount issue with 

 us for some time to come, and especially in our next meeting, and I move, 

 Mr. President, that the secretary be instructed, in preparing his next pro- 

 gram, to devote one session entirely to spraying. 



President Stevens: We will now hear the report of the Committee 

 on Awards. ,
