Jona- thans are usually n-iore severely attacked than Ben Davis or Gano, and Winesap shows a decided resistance to codling- moth compared with others, and there are many differences of this kind to be noticed. It canniit he doubted that the single spraying, properly applied at the time the blossoms fall, is completely control- ling codling moth in certain cases in Western and Northwestern states. It is this spraying which unquestionably plays the most important part in fighting the codling moth in Missouri. In this state, with curculio also to con-ibat, and with Some early worn-is of codling- n-ioth entering at the side rather than at the calyx end of the apples, two additional early sprays of arsenate of lead will usually be necessary. There is probably no better insecticide for codling moth and curculio spraying. \ ISTTIN(; A'l' MEETING II 1) A r THE WASHINGTON .'^ H< )RTICl' T K A I.
