SPRAYING ORCHARDS.
Splendid Opening for an Energetic
Young Man.

A Splendid Opening for an Energetic
Young Man.
Since spraying the orchard is neces-
sity in order to produce merchantable
fruit on large scale in all parts of the
country, preparations to treat the trees
in a proper manner should be made by
all owners of orchards, even though
small. In district where fruit-growing
is merely side issue and quite subordi-
nate to the general farming interest it
may be inconvenient and perhaps ex-
pensive for each farmer to maintain an
efficient spraying outfit. In such cases
it will generally be found that by the
farmers of neighborhood clubbing to-
gether a spraying outfit sufficient for the
use of all may be obtained at small
cost to each, and that the work may thus
be done for all at no great expense.
What would be still better, however,
would be to offer adequate inducements
to some enterprising young man in the
neighborhood to provide himself with
the necessary spraying apparatus and
materials for the required sprays and
then do the work for each orchardist as
required at cost to be agreed upon. In
this way the work would almost certain
ly be done when needed, and would not
be indefinitely postponed or indifferently
performed, as is SO liable to be the case
when the small orchardist depends
wholly upon himself to provide the ap-
pliances and materials for spraying
