  that 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  of

   insignificant

  The 
  fruits 
  affected 
  are 
  the 
  apple 
  and 
  the 
  pear. 
  By 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  

   arsenical 
  poisons 
  the 
  loss 
  can 
  be 
  reduced 
  to 
  about 
  one 
  per 
  cent, 
  or 
  less. 
  

   As 
  the 
  worm 
  first 
  bores 
  deeply 
  into 
  the 
  fruit 
  it 
  is 
  suggested 
  that 
  the 
  

   .subsequent 
  surface-feeding 
  is 
  the 
  fatal 
  operation, 
  but 
  so 
  far 
  our 
  know- 
  

   ledge 
  is 
  insufficient 
  to 
  explain 
  the 
  reasons 
  for 
  the 
  efficiency 
  of 
  the 
  

   poison. 
  All 
  investigators 
  agree 
  that 
  it 
  must 
  be 
  applied 
  before 
  the 
  

   larva 
  enters 
  the 
  fruit. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  pears 
  and 
  autumn 
  apples, 
  unless 
  

   this 
  fijst 
  spraying 
  has 
  been 
  thorough, 
  a 
  second 
  brood 
  will 
  also 
  require 
  

   attention 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  part 
  of 
  July 
  or 
  early 
  in 
  August. 
  Its 
  appearance 
  

   may 
  be 
  noted 
  if 
  bands 
  of 
  sacking 
  are 
  placed 
  round 
  a 
  few 
  trees 
  and 
  

   examined 
  about 
  the 
  1st 
  and 
  15th 
  of 
  July 
  and 
  August. 
  One 
  thorough 
  

   .spraying 
  for 
  summer 
  apples 
  and 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  for 
  autumn 
  apples 
  and 
  

   pears 
  will 
  completely 
  control 
  the 
  codHng 
  moth 
  in 
  the 
  Sacramento 
  

   Valley. 
  For 
  a 
  single 
  medium-sized 
  tree, 
  J 
  pint 
  of 
  lead 
  arsenate 
  in 
  5 
  

   gallons 
  of 
  water 
  is 
  sufficient. 
  For 
  a 
  quarter 
  of 
  an 
  acre 
  of 
  orchard 
  

   3-6 
  lbs. 
  lead 
  arsenate 
  in 
  100 
  gallons 
  of 
  water 
  is 
  enough. 
  Instead 
  of 
  

   this 
  weight 
  of 
  lead 
  arsenate, 
  one- 
  third 
  of 
  zinc 
  arsenite, 
  or 
  one-quarter 
  of 
  

   Paris 
  green, 
  may 
  be 
  used.

  the 
  latter 
  case
