Time and manner of spraying:. Thonjjh it is easy to state 

 the proi>er time to spn\v, in many cases it is excitingly dimcult 

 to have the reeommendations projwly carried ont. As has been 

 $t^Ui\L the bet-ties feed on the yonng leaves for a considemble 

 time before any e^srirs are develojXHi and continue fet^ing for a 

 day or moiv between the dein^sition of each cluster. If the 

 partly nnfoldeil leaves an- sprayed in the early spring, the bet-ties 

 ean bt- killed and the pn>ductiv>n of egg« preventini. This is very 

 desirable, fi>r if at all nomerous the beetle^; injure the foliage
