WHAT TO DO MONTH BY MONTH 



to destroy all the codling moths you will find 

 many small apples on the ground. Rake these 

 together and destroy them. This is the month 

 when the fall web worm is at work. If you 

 find bunches of leaves, brown and loosely 

 webbed, remove and burn the leaves which con- 

 tain nests. Spray the tree with one half 

 pound of arsenate of lead to ten gallons of 

 water. 



Currants and Gooseberries. Cultivate thor- 

 oughly and add to the soil a liberal amount of 

 bone meal. The lack of moisture through neg- 

 lecting to make a dust mulch may materially 

 decrease the crop for next year. If the cur- 

 rant aphides are found on the underside of the 

 leaves, spray with Black Leaf 40. The first 

 indication of this pest is when the leaves begin 

 to turn yellow.
