APPLE DISEASES
AND APPLE BUGS
state Board Of Entomology Tells How
To Kill Insects And Cure Trees
And Fruit
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—'There are
seven principal insects and five im
portant diseases which attack apples
in Georgia, but with proper and time
ly attention they may be economical
ly controlled and a perfect fruit pro
duced at a substantial profit.
The attacking insects, named in the
order of their importance and destruc
tiveness, are the coddling moth, plum
curculio, San Jose scale, woolly aphis,
green apple leaf aphis, the roundhead
ed apple tree borer and the flatheaded
borer. The diseases, similarly named,
are bitter rot, apple scab, cedar rust,
apple leaf spot and apple crown-gall.
The State Board of Entomology says
the season for treatment against
some of these insects and disease*, is
at hand. The work should be care
fuiiv done, as well as done at the
proper time.
Moth And Curculio
The coddling moth or apple worm,
perhaps the most dangerous of all in
sects to Georgia’s apple crop, is the
moth whose grub comes to maturity
inside the apple, leaving a tunnel of
blackened and bitter walls familiar
alike to grower and consumer. To
control the coddling moth, proceed
as follows: Immediately following the
shedding of the bloom, the young ap
ple is in condition for the first spray
ing with a solution of 2 pounds of ar
senate of lead, 3 pounds of lime, to
50 gallons of water. The time of this
spraying is all-important, as the solu
tion, under high pressure, should be
forced into every calyx cup on the tree.
This kills the worm, as it seeks to
enter the young apple. The second
spraying, to catch belated blooms be
fore the calyces close, should take
place a week or ten days later. This
spraying, where apple diseases are
prevalent, should be incorporated with
a fungicide, the best results, perhaps,
being obtained from a solution of
1 1-2 pounds of arsenate of lead, 1 1-2
gallons lime-sulphur and 50 gallons of
water. The third spraying should fol
low six weeks after the first and con
sist of 1 1-2 pounds of lead to 50 gal
lons of the Bordeaux mixture.
The plum curculio, the next most de
structive insect, is a common enemy of
nearly all commercial fruits. The eggs
are laid under 'the skin of the young
apple, producing defective and blem
ished fruit. The same treatment, es
pecially the first and second sprayings,
as is recommended for coddling moth,
will get rid of the curculio.
Other Apple Insects
The San Jose scale is almost as
great an enemy of the apple as of the
peach. Chief treatment for this in
sect, however, is applied in the fall
and winter, any time after the foliage
is off, until just before the blooms ap
pear in the spring. This insect is con
trolled by spraying w r ith the home
made lime sulphur solution.
The apple woolly aphis which at
tacks the limbs, trunk and roots of
the apple tree, is best controlled by
a ten per cent kerosene emulsion. Ut
most precaution must be taken thor
oughly to emulsify the kerosene so as
not to injure the tree. This emulsion
should be applied by spray, ONLY IN
THE GROWING SEASON.
The green apple leaf aphis, especial
ly injurious to nursery stock and
young trees, sucking out the juices,
may be destroyed by thorough spray
ings with lime-sulphur solution in the
late winter or early spring.
The apple tree borer, both round
headed and flatheaded, injures the
tree by boring into it. It may be re
moved by a knife or killed by prod
ding in its hole with a sharp wire.
Where numerous the best plan, per
haps, is to inject carbon bisulphide
and stop up the hole with wax. The
gas kills the insect.
Apple Tree Diseases
Bitter rot, a fungus disease, is the
most dangerous of all apple diseases
in Georgia. It is not caused by wet
weather, but dampness is favorable to
it. It usually appears early in July
and on through the summer. Early
summer sprayings with lime-sulphur
solution up to June 15-30, and later
sprayings with Bordeaux mixture, have
been found most effective in eliminat
ing it
Next comes apple scab, which may
affect more than half the fruit of an
orchard, where not controlled. Scab
is a fungus which grows in summer
upon fruit, leaves? and twigs, causing
olive-brown discoloration. It yields
readily to lime-sulphur spraying at 2
gallons to fifty, just before the cluster
buds open, and a second lighter spray
ing within two to three weeks.
Cedar rust, communicated only from
cedar trees, is most effectively cured
by removing all cedar trees and
•shrubs. Lime-sulphur slayings have

are found as follows: In the Ha
waiian Islands 5,000; in the United
States 1,400; in Mexico 1,000. Nine
ty per cent of the Korean immigrants
are Christians and our work here is
to conserve them.
There: The church in Korea has
been a witnessing church, a praying

Apple leaf spot, a fungus leaf dis
ease, more or less prevalent in Georgia
every year, yields to the same treat
ment as apple scab. Apple crown-gall
is best controlled in the nursery by
budding instead of grafting.
Detailed information as to any of
these insects and diseases and their
treatment will be gladly furnished up
on application to the State Board of
Entomology, State Capitol, Atlanta,
Georgia.
