The two check trees bore 2138 and 3281 apples, the percentage of 

 wormy fruit being 5.89 and 6.67 respectively. Most of the affected 

 apples bore the side injury of late-hatching worms of the first brood, 

 though there is a perceptibly larger percentage of end-wormy fruit. 

 The extremely low percentage, for check trees, of wormy apples is 

 surprising and can be accounted for only by the very thorough and 

 systematic spraying of earlier years. This view is further supported 

 by the fact that examinations under nearby trees just across the road 

 from the experimental orchard showed that 7 5 per cent of the apples 

 lying on the ground were badly injured by the codling moth. This 

 plainly indicates that the insect, if left to itself, would have been 

 extremely abundant, and at least suggests that there may be great 

 value in annual treatments whether the trees be in fruit or not.
