small percentage wormy. In the last week of July, at about the time 

 the second generation was beginning to enter the fruit, a third spray- 

 ing was made; and the fourth spraying was made about August 8, at 

 which time -a demonstration was made to visiting fruit growers. 

 About ten days after the spraying a dashing rain washed off a consid- 

 erable amount of the spray. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cash did not think 

 it advisable to make another spray, in view of the fact that the results 

 alrcadj^ secured were so satisfactory that the}^ thought it luinecessary. 

 There is no doubt in the mind of the writer that if this spraying had 

 been made the results would have been better. 



Harvesting began about the second week in Octo')er, at which time 

 th(i final results were obtained. Many trees were selected early in the 

 season and the wormy fruit upon them counted; but as the season 

 progressed the number was reduced on account of the lack of time to 

 make the proper countings. The following tal)le is compiled from the 

 results upon six average-sized Ben Davis trees which were situated 

 about the center of the Ben Davis section. At all times the greatest 

 care was exercised in making these countings as accurate as possible, 

 every one of the apples })eing counted and no estimates made.
