Mr.. Faust-The Gregg is exempt
from rust.
Mr.. Miller grows the Hilborn, his pat
rons all ask for the Hilborn.
Mr.. Stump.-The Hilborn is the poor
est berry have; the fruit sets we'll, size
all right, but it dries up before ripening.
Mr.. Miller.-The Hilborn dries up on
low ground and in poor soil.
Mr.. Stoner asks if our orchards we're
cultivated would we get rid of the in
sects that infest our fruit?
Mr.. Faust-Cultivati the ground
will not rid us of our insect enemies.
Mr.. Roth asks Mr.. Faust why we had
perfect fruit last year and imperfect fruit
this year?
Mr.. Faust-Some years are favorable
for the cocoons to live through the win
ter, then there are plenty of moths to
attend to every apple.
N. +. Mofit asked whether spraying
plums kill the insect after the egg has
been laid in the fruit2 If not, is there
any use in spraying at all after the plum
has been stung?
S. II. Rockhill says no, to the first
question. Has never failed to save
plums by thoroughly busting the trees
with air-slaked lime while in blossom,
Mr.. Faust says spray when the fruit is
set in bloom.
B. +. Stump says the curculio does not
deposit its egg i'll the fruit, but OIL the
outside; then makes a crescent shaped
wound for the insect to creep into after
Matching. Spray once before the buds
begin to swell, once after, and once after
the bloom has fallen.r
