after spraying was about 5 percent of that originally applied.

Por the control of the budmoth, Eucosma (Spilonota) ocellana 
Schiff . the standard spray program is recommended. The formula for the 
delayed dormant application is 2 l/2 gal. lime sulphur, 2 1/2 - 3 lb. 
lead arsenate, 1 pt. nicotine sulphate (40-percent) and 100 gal. water. 
If supplementary treatments are required for heavy infestations nicotine 
sulphate at the rate of 1 qt . to 100 gal. lime-sulphur (1:40) may be 
applied just before the larvae leave their winter shelters. Nicotine 
sulphate at the rate of 1 pt. to 100 gal. spray may be used against the 
newly hatched larvae.

A combination of an oil spray with nicotine sulphate appeared to 
be promising against Eucos ma ( Spilonota ) ocellana Schiff. Nicotine sul- 
phate in lime-sulphur caused almost as marked a reduction in the number 
of larvae. In normal seasons, the delayed dormant spray of nicotine 
sulphate generally applied against the rosy aphid ( Anur aphis roseus Baker) 
may prove valuable in reducing injury by E. ocellana .

Sprays of 3 lb. lead arsenate or 1 pt . nicotine sulphate in 100 
gal., or a combination of both materials, will reduce the damage caused 
by Eucosma. ( Spilonot a) ocellana Schiff. The moths also proved susceptible, 
to 2 percent nicotine dusts, but the practical value of these methods was 
not determined.
