The worst pests in Hampshire County 

 orchards are Api)le Scab, Curculio, Red 

 Bug, and Codling Moth, and they should 

 receive special attention at spraying time. 



Apple Scab is still the chief enemy of 

 Mcintosh. Last year the weather was 

 unfavorable to its development and it was 

 not hard to control in most orchards, but 

 a favoi'able season will bi'ing it back in 

 full force and the Mclnto.'-h grower must 

 always look for trouble and spray ac- 

 cordingly. The real fight against Scab 

 must be made before blossoming time. 

 Few Mcintosh growers can afford to omit 

 the pre-pink spray as a precautionary 

 measure, for many things beyond control 

 may happen to prevent the timely and 

 thorough application of the pink spray 

 (2), which is the chief control measure. 

 We know that Apple Scab can be con- 

 trolled, but it takes spraying of a high 

 order to do it. 



Curculio is never spectacular in its 

 attack and it is too often overlooked. No 

 variety can claim immunity from damage 

 by it, and in many orchards this little in- 

 sect is marring more apples than Apple 



' Scab. Curculio is most troublesome in 

 orchards that adjoin woodlands, where 

 the in.sect prefers to pass the winter. 

 The special Curculio spray .should he ap- 

 plied whei'e Curculio has become estab- 

 lished or where it is seen at work in the 

 orchard. 



Red Bug is another insect of a retiring- 

 disposition which i.s doing a lot of damage 

 in some orchards in the County. The 

 Calyx or Codling Moth spray (3) is the 

 best spray for Red Bugs, and nicotine 

 should be included in this application if 

 their presence is suspected. 



Codling Moth is always with us and 

 manages to ruin a lot of apples every 

 year. Studies conducted in Harvard by 

 the State Experiment Station show that 

 in that section, at least. Codling Moths 

 keep emerging from winter quarters until 

 well along in the summer and that a 

 satisfactory control cannot be insured 

 unless at least one spray is applied later 

 than the Calyx or Petal Fall spray (3). 



The number of sprays to be applied 

 must vary with the orchard. Certainly
