 years 18,233 barrels of apples, and these ap- 

 ples were .sold at an average of sixty cents 

 a barrel above the price received by growers 

 who were not members of the associaUon 



The same lines will be followed in the work 

 Of next year. iJemonstrationa will be given 

 m spraying and pruning in districu where 

 apple growing has not reached its highest 

 development. Further development there- 

 fore, may be expected. 



•Annapolis Valley Notes 



Eunice Buchanan 

 Up to date, September 16th, no frost has 

 damaged the crops, although we had a slight 

 one on September 4th, and another on SeD- 

 tember 11th, which withered squash leaves 

 m low places, also hurt some cranberries 

 Ihe weather has been ideal for harvesting 

 with no high winds to injure the fruit. 



Insect pests have been unusually active 

 Young apple trees have been badly eaten by 

 Red-humped Apple Tree Caterpillars (Schi- 

 zura concinna) which feed gregariously 

 Some of the yoting trees are completely de- 

 nuded of foliage. Spraying with paris green 

 will control these caterpillars, but in small 

 orchards they have been hand-picked. The 

 huge green larvae of the Cecropia Emperor 

 Moth (Platysamia cecropia) have also been 

 busy on young apple trees, but as they work 

 sifagly, or in twos, they are not numerous 

 enough to do much damage. 

 A Serious Pest. 

 The average grower does not realize the 

 seriousness of the Green Apple Bug. If the 

 creature were as large as its scienUflc 

 name there might be some easy way to con- 

 trol it, but it is so tiny that it often escapes 

 observation. When I made its acquaintance 

 I first noticed gnarled and deformed apples, 

 then when turning over the leaves I noticed 

 insects resembling aphis, only they moved 

 very swiftly to a hiding place. In Annapolis 

 county, where the orchards have a large 

 proportion of the Nonpariel variety, the 

 Apple Bug has increased to such an extent 

 as to threaten, if not shortly checked, to 

 wipe out this apple. For instance, in 1911 

 one grower in that county had 500 bbls.. In 

 1912 the yield had dropped to 150, in 1913 

 there were 30 bbls, 1914 10 bbls., and in 

 1915 the harvest was only one and a half 

 bbls. Orchardists are advocating banding 

 the trees with "Tanglefoot" before spraying 

 with "Black Leaf 40." 



The Imported Cabbage Worm (Pierls 



rapae) and the Zebra Caterpillar (Ceramica 



picta) have been more numerous than 



u.sual.
