out the time, but if they are growing very rapidly, a much 

 shorter time. 



MR. PURRINGTON. Is it true that the proper time 

 to spray is when the little bit of apple is standing straight, 

 up and the calyx is standing open? 



PROF. CHENOWETH. The proper time to spray for 

 codling moth is when the calyx is open, yes sir, and before 

 it closes up, so as to close the material in there. The cod- 

 ling moth usually takes his first meal down in the calyx cup, 

 and if you get that full of poison, you get your codling moth 

 where you want him. 



PROP. SEARS. If there is no further discussion, I 

 presume we had better close this session. I hope you will 

 all be out at this evening's meeting. There are some pre- 

 liminary exercises in the way of a welcome from the City, 

 and then the meeting is to be in connection with the deer 

 nuisance, and I hope you all appreciate the importance of 

 that. The question of spraying for the codling moth is a 

 mere incidental matter with us, for if we could get rid of 

 the deer, the codling moth and other small things like that 

 wouldn't bother us.
