The codling moth Is at present the most serious Insect pest with which the apple and pear growers of the Pa- cific Northwest have to contend. Losses from the “worms” in some years average as high as 20 per cent of the total crop, or even as high as 5% per cent in individual By the use of proper methods, however, many growers keep thelr losses well below 5 per cent, Plan to Control. In order to control the codling moth it is to understand its sea- sonnl under local conditions. There are two generations of the codling moth in the Pacifie Northwest, and various stages in these overlap, for a short interval worms sre hatching and at- acking the fruit from the latter part of May to October.
