The pressure need not be higher than about 200 or 250 pounds at 
the tank, depending upon the size and length of pipe or hose through 
which the liquid has to be forced and the number and kind of noz- 
zles used. 
TimeVnd Numbek of Applications. 
For vines which are only lightly infested three applications are 
recommended. The first of these should come when the new upright 
growth is from one-half to three-fourths of an inch long; that is,

spray cone and the necessity of considerable walking and dragging of hose over vines 
in spraying. Not a good type of outfit to use. 
when large numbers of the young larvae are proceeding to and some 
working in or near the new unfolding leaves at the tips of the up- 
rights. The second should be applied shortly after the first blos- 
soms appear, or, in other words, at the early "hook stage." This 
may come from 10 days to 3 weeks after the first application, de- 
pending on the weather; it is designed to kill the next group of 
larvae before they conceal themselves in the new growth. The third 
application should be made when the vines are in full bloom, or 
about 2 weeks after the second application, the object being to keep 
the young larvae from destroying blossoms and newly forming berries.
