INJURIOUS INSECTS OF STE. ANNE'S, SEASON OF 1909. 

 By J. M. Swaine, Macdonald College. 



Very few reports of insect injuries have been received by the Secretary, 

 and these few notes refer mainly to the district about .Macdonald College. 

 It would help the Society in its work if the farmers, and others interested 

 in pests and diseases of plants, would send specimens and reports of such 

 to the officers of the Society, to the directors, or to the Secretary, or to the 

 Biology Department, Macdonald College. 



The Codling Moth (Carpocapsa pomonella Linn), has been as injurious 

 as usual in unsprayed orchards. Poisoned Bordeaux applied thoroughly in 

 a fine spray once just before the blossom buds open, and again within ten 



Jiist right to spray. A pear and two apples from which the petals have recently fallen. Note that the calyx lobes are widely 

 spread. Spraying time for Codling Moth. (After SUngerland.) 



days after the blossom petals drop prevents eighty per cent, of the injury 

 from the Codling Worm and largely insures against the scab. The applica- 

 tion should be repeated if heavy rain occurs within twenty-four hours.
