ed upon, the fallen fruit not having beentaken into consideration. The results of practical tests in these orchards show that withfour or five thorough sprayings, preferably by a gasoline-power out-lit, from about 85 to 95 per cent of the fruit can be saved fromthe codling moth. By a series of applications of these measures eventhis margin of loss may be reduced; but the saving of 90 per cent ofthe fruit under present conditions may be considered a solution of tin1problem. RESUME AND CONCLUSION. The codling moth, which is now a cosmopolitan insect, was intro-duced into the Pacific northwest about L880. On account of the warmclimate t wo overlapping generations are produced, and if proper meas-ures of control are neglected the insect, under normal conditions, willinfest practically the entire apple crop of many localities. The preventive measures are fully as important in controlling thisinsect a- the remedial measures. Bui. 41, Div. of Entomology, U. S. Dept. of Agnco ture Plate XIII.
