down to Columbia to visit his son,

took some notes concerning horticul-

apples. In the orchard on the state
farm, by way OF experiment last
spring. every other row of trees was
sprayed with the bordeaux mixture,
and as a result the sprayed trees
have produced q splendid crop Of
apples large and smooth, while the
unsprayed produced knotty and
much smaller fruit. What be saw
there was a convincing argument
that It is best to use the spray
when expecting a sure thing in a
crop OF apples.
