Many  experiments  have  been  made  to  trap  the  codlin  moth  with  lights,
pans  of  sweetened  water,  diluted  syrup  and  sweetened  vinegar  with  no
sucqess.  The  codlin  moth  is  not  attracted  by  a  light,  and  in  place  of  it  you
catch  other  moths  and  insects,  such  as  beetles,  true  bugs,  wasps,  etc.,  the
most  of  which  are  more  beneficial  than  injurious  to  the  fruit-grower.  It
seems  that  banding  trees  has  been  tried  for  many  years  with  good  success.
Dr.  Lia  Barron,  state  entomologist  of  Illinois,  made  a  test  on  four  trees
with  the  wire  shingle  trap  and  using  a  single  band  on  each  tree,  which
resulted  as  follows:  Number  of  worms  caught  in  the  trap,  80;  numl)er  caught
in  the  bands,  188;  or  268  on  four  trees.  Then  he  took  five  trees  and  placed
two  bands  on  each  tree,  leaving  about  two  feet  between  the  bands,  which
resulted  as  follows :  Number  caught  in  the  upper  bands,  282;  in  the  lower
bands,  350;  or  632  on  the  five  trees.  In  the  bulletin  of  April  21,  1894,  F.  L.
Washburn  says:  ''The  effectiveness  of  wrapping  burlap  bands  around  the
apple  and  pear  trees  as  adjunct  to  spraying  has  been  referred  to  before;  yet
it  must  be  kept  in  mind  that  the  worm  found  beneath  the  band  has  accom-
plished its  work  and  spoiled  the  apple  in  which  it  has  been  working,  and  at
the  same  time  many  of  the  worms  so  killed  would,  had  they  lived,  pro-
duced female  moths  which  would  have  laid  hundreds  of  eggs  upon  the  fruit.
