rs men are feeling the Importance Of
planting good trees. for the orders sent
them are only for the best varieties
and their nurseries have been greatly
extended because OF the Increased de-

which seems TO have nourished the best

greatest demand both by the grower
and the consumer, viz. the Alberts
peach and the Bartlett pear These
two fruits seem 70 grow with much
satisfaction I'm all parts OF the State

usually good bearers. There Is no rea-

MARKET SALES.
1.-THE Utah fruit can be sold without
great effort In any market, and will
compare with any other fruit In the
world II properly packed and prepared.
In the past the poor packing Of Utah
fruits has given us a bad name. The
fruits have been OF comparatively good
quality but the canning factories have
been very neglectful and careless In the
preparing Of the fruits, but the fac
tories are now realizing the great neces,
sity OF their preparing the fruits ac-
cording 10 the latest methods and In a
very careful way, so that their products
may be sold and bring the highest mar
ket price"
Mr. Wright, when asked about the
San Jose scale, said, that Il has been
confined 10 the localities where II was
first located and every effort Is being
used 10 prevent its spreading to other
districts, and Il can be eradicated. The
board OF horticulture will adopt very
stringent methods 10 get rid Of Il, This
scale Is one OF the most destructive
things which we have 20 contend with
In the raising OF fruits, and the fruit
growers should use every possible
method OF destroying it and wherever
the scale Is found on fruits, the owners
Of the orchard should be diligent in
getting rid OF It. for II left alone il will
spread very rapidly and prove very
detrimental In some localities where
the San Jose scale has been found. IL
has been necessary to burn almost the
entire orchard in order 10 eradicate
It.

great care both on the part Of the
grower and State board Of horticulture,
and the county inspectors TO free the
orchards and fruits from these Insects,
but when the fruit growers comply
with the rules and regulations set forth
by the State board Of horticulture, their
orchards can be freed from worms.and
other insects, which in the past have
proven so destructive TO the growing
Of all varieties Of fruits.
Those who contemplate planting
orchards should make Il a point 20
consult the growers In the various
parts Of the State where they are an
