small percentage wormy. In the last week of Jul}^ at about the time 
the second generation was beginning- to enter the fruit, a third spray- 
ing was made; and the fourth spra3dng was made about August 8, at 
which time a demonstration was made to visiting fruit growers. 
About ten da3^s after the spraying a dashing rain washed off a consid- 
erable amount of the spray. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cash did not think 
it advisable to make another spra3^,in view of the fact that the results 
already secured were so satisfactory^ that they thought it unnecessary. 
There is no doubt in the mind of the writer that if this spra^dng had 
been made the results would have been better. 
Harvesting Ix^gan about the second week in OcloSer, at which time 
the final results were o])tained. Many trees were selected earh^ in the 
season and the worm}' fruit upon them counted; l)ut as the season 
progressed the number was reduced on account of the lack of time to 
make the proper countings. The following table is com]^iled from the 
results upon six average-sized Ben Davis trees which were situated 
about the center of the Ben Davis section. At all times the greatest 
care was exercised in making these countings as accurate as possible, 
ever}' one of the apples being counted and no estimates made.
