It has taken a great deal of work and diplomacy on the part of the field inspectors to get these records, and a good many days and evenings, too, have been spent in the office studying and compiling this information. This season has been an almost unprece- dented one for codling-moth injury. A great many farmers insist that the poor results in their arsenate spray- ings this season are due to inferior lead arsenates. Personally 1 am of the opinion that the methods of api)lication and the time of doing it have been more important factors than the chance of poor leads. In making these suimnaries figures have been taken from surveys from all parts of the districts and it seems should represent fair averages. Not all of the orchards surveyed have been used in the general compilation, some being discarded on account of their location being between uncared-for or- chards, or in isolated districts where infestation is not iiad when no sprays are ajsplied, or the orchard is young. The object was to get a fair summary whicli would show the average condi- tions where codling moth exists. The compilation of these surveys has been made usually by localities as the blanks were received, and in the case of the Yakima Valley three summaries have been made, one for the valley in gen- eral, one for the lower valley and one for the upper valley. In most locali- ties our inspectors have placed codling moth breeding
