THE CODLIN MOTH.
PROTECT THE LATE PEARS AND APPLES. Up to tbo present time, says Mr. W. A. Boucher, of the Orchards Division of the Agricultural Department, the climatic conditions this season almost generally throughout the Dominion have proved more variable and unseasonable than those experienced for several years. In many districts the season has proved somewhat late for some classes of fruits, so that it is more than probable that such a pest as codlin moth will be on tho wing in fair numbers during the early part oi March, especially in the warmer districts of the Dominion. It would be advisable, therefore, for growers to keep this pest under observation, and, if necessary, to protect their crops of lato varieties of apples and pears from infection, for it has been noticed that when tho early part of tho season has been cold and unseasonable, infection may continue for a longer period than under normal conditions.
