The extent of `the 10:35 to Ontario alone runs up every year into xhe hundreds of thousands of dollars. -and into the millions -in the U.ni.ted.- States,--all because the remedies discoverec by the Emtomologisets have not been ap- | plied by -the apple-growers. '1vvu o _ L__L ___ |_____), _` .-v __`.I.__ the-V_'V-hile"-there is b'ox{e brood of the Godling Moth east and north _ of Toronto. there are two broods west and south of the same place. The different stages of this insect pest [should - be -familiar} to the apple`-grower, for only with this knowledge can 'he'~apply his remeaes intelligently. The .l .fe~story may be stated-concisely, as .folil~ow.s: The in- sect winters over as a caterpillar ` in. a bbcoon in some protected place . and in early June when the blos- soms are falling from the apple the adult winged-moths appear. The fe- malesdeposit their eggs `on `the leaves and newly formed fru-it. In `about -ten days the caterpillars es- `oape -from the eggs, and a few days later` enter the apples. usually at the -calyx end. The "worm re!- mains inside. -the apple `about 20 dnys, after which it comes out to spin a cocoon within which it lives until spring if =there is but one brood, but," only about two. weeks if there are two broods in a season.` The rseeon-dlbrood of moths appears about the end of July or the begin- ning of August; then eggs are again deposited, and the worms which `hatch from these eggs enter the de- veloped apples about the middle of August, leaving {hem again in Sep- tember to make cocoons, `within ,which.|to "spend `the winter. unn. -..-.. 1_.....--.|...:..,. ..I.- in--- r,...a.. ` .v.. vv --l.-.._ __ With our kunowled-ge of these facts we are able `to state `quite definitel- ly the best times to `apply remedies. The plan is to poison the ``worms" with Paris Green _or some bther ar- senic mlxture before` they enter the fruit. The trees should be sprayed (1)_ a few days after the blossoms fall; and (2) about the middle of.August "for -the second brood of larvae. An additional sprayingftan days or two weeks after the first will. in most cases, be productiveof much good. It is advisable. of course, to use the ar- fsenio mixture along with Bordeaux to mxnatrol the apple scab fungus at the same time that -the Godling Moth-is being `treated. For the scab.

The - T Borde`aux-Pa':Es Green Mix- ture is prepared. according to the following formula :-Copper sulphate or blue vstoin"e,' 4 pounds; fresh lime, '4 pounds; water, 40 gallons; Paris xgreetn, 4 -Lo` 6 ounces. The blue stone is -dissolved in 15 1020 gal- lons of water in a barrel, and `in another barrel the li-me is -staked carefully and 10 to 15 gallons of water are added to make a milk of `lime. Then the covnteints of the two barrels are poured into the spray barrel -through a strainer. Finally thebParis. green is made into a paste with water, and put into the barrel alongwith the "Bordeaux.
