although the trees bore distinctly lighter crops than plot 1, there 
were relatively more perfect apples, while there was a much higher 
percentage of scab on the check or unsprayed trees. The vagaries 
in the leaf roller injury are shown by the fact that the unsprayed 
trees show less injury of this character than the others. 
Taking the check trees as a standard, it will be noted that the 
infestation which apparently was very heavy was cut down nearly 
one-half by the first application and lessened to only a relatively 
slight extent by the second spraying, though these figures can not be 
compared strictly, owing to the lighter crop on plot 2 tending to 
increase, to some extent at least, the percentage of infestation. 
The increase in end wormy between plots 1 and 2 should be regarded 
as accidental or attributed in large measure to the small crop on 
plot 2, and these compared with the very high percentage of end 
wormy on the check trees, since this latter shows where the major 
benefit from spraying is secured. There is a marked, though by 
no means such a great gain in the side wormy. It should be noted 
that there is comparatively little variation in the percentage of 
‘“‘ shallow ”’ affected apples on plots 1, 2 and the checks, indicating 
that spraying has comparatively little effect, at least the season it 
is applied, upon this type of injury. 
Miscellaneous Field Notes 
The personal interest of Mr L. F. Strickland, agent of the State 
Department of Farms and Markets, has resulted in the securing 
of certain data which are here placed on record. He measured 
9 apples at the time codling moth deposition began and found a 
range from 13 to 2 inches or an average diameter of approximately 
12 inches. The variation in oviposition and the development of the 
larvae, due in part to the advance of the season and probably also 
to local conditions, is strikingly shown by the following records. 
In the orchard of Charles Hoag, Gasport, July 26th, 9 entrances 
and 1 egg shell were found on 104 apples examined in sequence. 
The trees were well loaded with fruit. 
August 4th, a similar examination in the orchard of Mr G. H. 
Williams, Newfane, of 56 apples, resulted in finding 49 entrances and 
8 egg shells; 5 of these apples had 2 entrances each and 2 had 3 
entrances each. Mr Williams’s orchard was practically without a 
crop and though the counts were made on trees b2arinz a fair number 
of apples, it is possible that there was some concentration of the 
insects upon the fruiting trees, thouzh this hardly accords with
