1t is about as hard to convince some
orchardists that they should spray as
it is to convince others that they
should insure their houses against fire.
The two acts are in way similar. The
expense may be looked upon in either
case as insurance. The man that
sprays his orchard may never see that
he has escaped disaster. He may never
appreciate the good he receives from
spraying. His enemies are so small
that he does not see them approach
and perish with the poison that has
been placed in their way. But whether
he sees the results OF does not see
them, they are there.-Farmers' Re.

Growing Crops In Orchards.


The disadvantage of having grass OF
growing crops in an orchard is not ell
tirely due to the chance of the crops
robbing the soil of fertility needed by
the trees. If it was it would be easily
remedied by the manure applied to the
hoed crops, of which the trees would
get their share, or by turning sheep
into the orchard to eat the grass and
the fallen wormy fruit, who would en-
rich the soil by their droppings. But
the greater trouble comes from the
summer and fall droughts when the
trees need all the moisture to perfect
their fruit. If the grass or other sur
face crop takes it there will be large
amount of fruit fall which might have
been saved if there had been moisture
enough to carry it through to matur-
ity. Where water can be supplied by
irrigation this difficulty is not as great.
