BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY TELLS
HOW TO COMBAT APPLE PESTS
Atlanta, Jk J(8pefclal.)r-If you
would hope to make perfect applet)
even on a few trees, you must spray
them and care for them just as you
; would If you wore building up a suc
cessful commercial orchard and seek
ing markets where only practically per
fect fruli Is tolerated.
It is the purpose of the Georgia
."State Board of Entomology in this
brief article, not to go Into all the
details of what muBt be done to con
trol each disease and Insect, but rath-
■er to stress the Importance of giving
whatever attention is necessary to tjje
itrees TTgSt at this time or a little
I|ter, to suppress pests and disease
japg to jjyjnulate vigorous tree ancj
fruit growth.
Although well established, the apple
industry in Georgia Is still in its ln-
i&iicy. • development demands care
ful and detailed kfldtrieu^!; T he
'board Is ready to furnish this lntor-
jmatlon upon application, either In print,
ed bulletin form dealing with practl-
-cally everything the Georgia apple
.grower must know, or from other
•sources whenever particular data ij
a-equired for a special case, it Is only
necessary Jo write for the bulletin or
such information as is desired and it
Will be promptly furnished.
For Apple Spraying
i it will J>_e posable hero to give the
'spraying schedule only Fn general
'tenns, but where the grower has had
iprovlous experience, he will be able tq
•apply 7? To advantage! »
r The first spraying for the control it
•SaS Jose Scale, may take place any
Jtlme’ilki'lng the dormant season. It
Ss not too kite for It yet, provided
dtye trees have not bp gun to bud. The
co'deeiltrkted lime-suljhw solution
should be used, <■
r The second spraying should lake
place immediately after the bloflflr
petals fail. This spraying should fcoh-
trol the codding moth or eOmmon ap
ple worm, and, where necessary, apple
scab and other fungus diseases. The
Jdpray should consist of one pound of
"■powdered or two pounds of paste ar*
: senate of lead, and three pounds of
■■ sluiced lime to GO gallons of water.
"DUutai lime-sulphur 1b sometimes sub-
■ stltuted for the lime (IT quarts te 50
gallons .of mixture) particularly to
prevent scab Infection on fruit and
I leaves.
The Final Task
The third spraying Bhould come just
N eix weeks after the second, using one
pound powdered, or two pounds paste,
arsenate of lead, and five quarts of
lime sulphur solution to 60 gallons of
■water. Bordeaux mixture may be
used with the arsenate of lead, In
place of the llrae-BUlphur solution, and
it is considered -a somewhat better
fungicide. This spraying controls such
fungus diseases as apple scab, apple
leaf spot and bitter rot, as well as
the second brood of the codding moth.
These sprayings, wherever carefully
followed, will control practically all of
the most serious Insect arid disease
pests which attack Georgia apple
orchards. The plum curculio attacks
the apple as well as the peach, but
these sprayings will generally take
care of it. The apple tree borer is
best killed by the knife or by prodding
Into Its channel with a wire. This
should be done in early September.
Use Good Machinery
The (mpertoscc ot psjqg wjl( (pad?
and efficient spraying machinery 1b ex
plained in the bulletin, published by
the board and prepared by Assistant
Entomologist W. W. Chase. Tills Is
really secondary only to the use of
thoroughly reliable insecticides and
fungicides. The uppl?. grower will get
superior results from ids. treatment of
his trees, only where he purchases

J ood ones will pay for themselves hub*

The barrel pump, while adequate for
the small orchard, does not, as a rule,
keep the solution sufficiently agitated
to produce a thoroughly uniform spray.
This is one of the Important reasons
why gasoline power pumps are gaining
favor and are becoming more generally
used every year. They maintain high
pressure, and a uniform physical and
chemical spraymlst, There should be
at least flhe lnfin tri the crew who
thoroughly understands the mechanlsfl
and operation ot the gasoline pump.
Buy the best grade hose and plenty
of It. Extension rods should be fitted
with stopcocks to prevent waste, and
should he long enough to reach the
tops of the trees. For specially tall

All of this lnfOTMMsn,

tins prepared for the beffsflti.bl the
Georgia fruit grower under dln'Wflcfl
of the State Board of Entomology,'
whose assistants are constantly gath
ering new facts as the result of direct
personal experimentation and experi
ence in Georgia orchards.
The board regards the apple as one
of the coming great commercial fruits
ot Georgia; the development of the
industry has only begun. It Is Its
purpose to continue these experiments
and to be in position at all times to ,
supply the grower with the latest In
formation- and the best available data
for treatment in every case.
Where unusual conditions prevail In
any orchard, the board, upon applica
tion to State Entomologist E. Lee Wor
sham, will be glad to send a specialist
to Investigate and determine upon the
most suitable remedy.
