Examine all boxes returned from market before taking 

 into the orchard. 



The Codling Moth Wash can be bought in packages 

 weighing from two pounds to two hundred and fifty 

 pounds. 



To be successful use every effort to destroy the spring 

 brood of moths. 



Fruit showing signs of larva should not be allowed to 

 remain on the ground around the tree. 



We have read statements by fruit growers that they 

 have seen the codling moth flying in large numbers. In 

 our investigations we have not seen more than two at 

 any one time. 



The moth will live in glass seven (7) days. 



The female moths deposit their brood of eggs within 

 forty-eight hours. 



The egg can be seen plainly by the naked eye. 



The best time to see the moths at work is at dawn of 

 day in the months of June and July. 



We do not think the female moths can be decoyed 

 from the trees hy burning lights at night in orchard until 

 all the eggs in the ovary are deposited. 



In our experiments we found the female moths to be 

 about forty per cent, of the number hatched. 



Only united action of fruit growers will gain a com- 

 plete victory over this pest. 



Defer not your action the time arrives as soon as the 

 leaves fall.

 observed any signs of this pest in his orchard. How- 

 ever, he set his men to work and examined every tree 

 carefully, and to his surprise, two larvae were found in
