CHEAP WINE
TO DESTROY CODLIN MOTH EXPERIMENTS WITH “PINKIE” (From Our Own Correspondent) SYDNEY, Nov. 25. Cheap wine, commonly known as “ pinkie,” has proved to be a means for the destruction of codlin moth. An experiment made by Mr J. Tomlinson, Bendigo (Victoria), district orchard supervisor of the Department of Agriculture, led to the discovery. Mr Tomlinson has been experimenting in the orchard districts of Bendigo. The wine is broken down with water and placed in receptacles beneath the trees in the orchard. The moths are attracted by the mixture and are killed. It is reported that the “pinkie” lure has been tried with great success in the Bendigo district, and orchardists hope that it will prove a help to cut losses caused by codlin moth.
