The large amount of free fallen apples on trees No. 1 and No. '1 are 
due to the apples picked otf in the process of thinning. The average 
total per cent infested throughout the season for these trees was 13. 
The greatest difficult}^ was met with in obtaining an}- reliable esti- 
mate upon the general results from tlie orchard, for the reason that 
the larger percentage of the seconds and culls wei'c graded as such 
because the}' were small or uncolored. The Ben Davis section pro- 
duced 1,944 boxes of strictly first-class fruit, and the writer estimates 
that this was only about one-third of the total produced. In one sec- 
tion of the orchard there were trees in which the loss was fully 25 per 
cent at harvesting time, but there were man}' others in which the loss 
was not over 5 per cent. The writer estimates that at picking time 
about 10 per cent of the fruit in this section of the orchard was 
infested. In the Jonathan section ::!.U30 boxes of iirst-class fruit were 
packed, and the culls were estimated at 1-IG boxes. By numerous 
counts it was found that onh' about half of these were infested, 
which gives a total of 78 boxes of infested fruit. As a general result, 
about 3 per cent of the apples were found infested, and the total per- 
centage for this section of the orchard was probably about 5. It was 
found that the tree nearest to the packing house was al)out 50 per cent 
wormy, but the percentage diminished rapidly toward the center of 
the i)lock. A few trees which could not be well spraved on account 
of their situation with regard to irrigating ditches were more wormy 
than others. In the Kome Beauty section, in which there was a small 
crop the year previous, a total of 3, oil boxes of tirst-class fruit was 
packed, and it was estimated that one-fourth, or 109 })oxes. of the culls 
and seconds were infested, or al)out 3 per cent of the whole crop. 
The Pewaukee apples were practically 100 per cent infested at the end 
of the season. The apples were counted on an unsprayed Domine tree 
September 4. and 81 per cent were found infested. From experiences 
in other orchards with this insect, the writer believes that, had it not 
been for spraying, the fruit in this orchard avouM have averaged from 
so to 90 per cent infested. (See Pis. XIII. XIV, XV.) 
In Mr. Cash's orchard, which is separated from the Wilson orchard 
oidy by a road, it was found tiiat the Jonathans were 25 per cent 
infested, only two sprayings having been made. 
The orchard of Mr. Fremont Wood, which is a tyi)e of the lu^st of 
the smaller commercial orchards, was kept under observation through- 
out the season. This orchard c-onsists of ai)out 1,000 trees, the larger 
per cent of which are Jonathan. These trees were set out ;il)out 1S<»5. 
In 1901 the crop was small and was ahnost totally destroyed by the 
codling moth. In 1902 a hand-power spraying outtit was used (PI. 
XII, tig. 3), which was supplemented by banding. The sprayings 
were made about tlie same time as in the Wilson orchard. excei>t that 
the last spraying was afttu* the rain. al)out the middh^ oi. August, and
