Tweeller Of Stoney Creek, writes; After the past fiVe years or more of our experience in apple growing, which is now only viewed as most discouraging to the orchardist on account Of, the depredations of the many insect enenaiefl, and also the fungoid disease commonly known as the apple scab, ,the.h not only destroys the fruit, but has also a very injurious effect en the foliage,, we hove now some reason to expect better crop& The fule growth' and rank, dark colored feting° indicate the departure of these destructive eneinies, and it is hoped, their absence may be a lcin one. The codlin moth remained with us and 'seemed more deitrnotivethan ever, almost destroying the crop hksoine locali- ties. The modeof sprayine with poris green for 'the anccessful combating of:this pest • has been so often described. as to scarcely need further mention. However; care must be exercised in pnrohasing to get the pure article. One-fourth of a pound to forty gallons of water, kept well stirred while spraying, is the best .and safest pro- portion of the mixture to apply. The best time to apply it is when the apples have grown • to inch insize and yet stand erect,: which allows---the--.Faris green to enter the bloilsoni end of the apple, which soon after turns down- -wards •from-inoreasing;.weight, shedding off the rains • and allowing the poison to remain to destroy the succeeding broods of 'worms as they hatch from time to time during the suntinet. The tree should be well drenelied from all 'sides to insure the reception of. the *Oen into the blossom end of all the fruit. Rome have Made the mistake of spraying while' in bloomthus injnring or totally destroying the delicate organism of the blossom. The above mode of destroying the codlin meth has been So often tried and has • proved so successful in its applioationl that it may be fully relied on as a safe remedy if properly•done and* the right time.
