The third application was made August 6th. The spraying on 

 plot 3, Baldwins, began at 10.20 and was completed by noon, approxi- 

 mately 120 gallons being applied to the 12 trees. There was very 

 little a'r, the weather was light cloudy and conditions were almost 

 ideal for spraying. Only one lead from the tower was used and 

 the spray covered everything thoroughly. 



At this time side entrances or " shallows " were very evident 

 and a canvass of 63 affected apples picked from various trees, except 

 experimental ones, gave the following results: there were in this 

 lot 79 typical " shallows " and 19 others showing " shallows " 

 infested by larvae. Forty of the 63 apples gave evidence of work 

 in the end, though in most cases the damage was very slight. Three 

 others showed work in the end and also larvae. One apple had a 

 deep entrance beside the stem and 3 deep entrances in the side. 

 The data conclusively show that a very large proportion of the 

 11 shallow " entrances are deserted by the first brood and the 

 abundance of castings indicated that a great deal of the work was 

 recent and due to larvae hatching from late-deposited eggs of the 

 first brood of moths. 



Plot 1, tree F. All the apples within reach from the ground were 

 carefully examined without removing any and 116 entrances found 

 on 363 apples and in addition 3 egg shells. 



Plot 2, tree E. A similar examination resulted in finding 16 

 entrances on 151 apples. 



Plot j, tree C. Twenty-seven entrances were found on 172 apples 

 and an examination in the top resulted in finding but 9 entrances 

 on 118 apples. Tree E of the same plot gave 16 entrances on a 

 total of 141 apples. 



Check trees. A similar examination showed 34 entrances on 

 63 apples. 



By far the most of these entrances recorded above were typical 

 " shallows." 



The greenings in this orchard were picked the first week in October, 

 the classification of the fruit being looked after by Mr Strickland 

 and his assistants. The Baldwins were picked the following week, 

 namely, October 10th and nth, and through a misunderstanding the 

 apples on the ground were picked up and disposed of before there was 

 an opportunity of classifying them, hence the data given below in 

 relation to all trees except the greenings is based on the fruit upon 

 the trees at the time of picking.
