W. Marchant orchard at Fruita that year 98% Winesap and Ben Davis were secured with only two sprays, it was stated in the bulletin quoted, that in common practice there would be more than this number of sprays necessary, and consequently a table was given for the use of fruit growers suggesting approximate times for five sprayings each year, if that many became neces- sary. In the summer of 1907, while still connected with the office of the West- ern Slope Fruit Investigations for the State Agricultural College, I carried on another season's codling moth spraying experiments in Hill Bros", orchard on Orchard Mesa, at that time securing perfect fruit with two sprays against the first brood and one against the second, and with all three sprays against the first brood. After several additional years' experi- ence in codling moth spraying, and espe- cially after the past year's observations in this valley, I am more than ever con- vinced that my conclusions as published five years ago were correct, and that it is folly for anyone to state arbitrarily the exact number of sprays necessary under all conditions to control codling moth.
