horticulture in
State Of Utah.
Report Of STATE Board Shoes Remarkable Progress in
This Direction Resahs Dusing Ae Past Sir Yeas
Haze Been Most Gra31ng- Planting Of Orchards
placed on Commercial BaSs-Ftua Exhibits.

The state board Of horticulture has
filed its biennial report for the years
l9ol-l9O2. with Gov Wells, which states
that remarkable progress has been
made in Utah horticulture during the
past six years and most gratifying re-
suits have been obtained by the board
Through the efforts OF the board, ac-
curate Information has been dissent
mated regarding the standard varieties
Of fruits for market. the proper Gull
tural methods, suitable soils and loca-
tions and the most potent means Of
combating orchard pests. The planting
Of orchards has been placed upon q
commercial basis go that the products
will be suitable for long distance ship
ment or for storage TO supply the early
spring markets at home.
FRUIT EXHIBITS.
As verifcation Of the claim that
progress has been made, the board calls
attention TO the fruit exhibits Of each
succeeding year at the state fair. The
annually increasing excellence Of the
fruit shown has been astonishing 10
citizens Of the state. and almost in
creduious 10 visitors to the state. The
board believes that the practicability OF
commercial orCharding has been so
clearly demonstrated that the progress
in fruit growing will be much greater
In the future than IN the recent past,
which marks the beginning Of modern
orchardlng In Utah. Properly kept Or
churds and vineyards In Utah are now
yielding a revenue which jusiifies a
valuation OF $1,000 per acre for the land
Such orchards are not isolated by any
means, but may be found in every fruit
growing section OF the state within
reach Of the railroads
SAN JOSE SCALE.
In addition to the ordinary pests
which the board has had 10 combat
with, the San Jose scale has made its
appearance in two OF the most import
ont agricultural counties OF the state.
viz; Weber and Utah counties An APP
preparation OF $1,000 was made by the
lastLegisature for eradicating this pest.
The board employed special agent 10
conduct the work OF spraying 10 eradi-
| cate the scale and also purchased all
materials for spray compounds and fur
nished the same gratis to the owners
OF orchards infected In Weber and
Utah counties there We're more than
900 orchards infected with the scale.
The solution OF lime, salt and sulphur
was adopted by the board for combat
ing the scale and the results OF the use
of the solution have been very crafty
ing 1t has been definitely determined
| that fruit trees, other than old ones Of
| great height, properly pruned and then
given two thorough spraylngs with the
above solution may be absolutely freed
from the scale. In the case of trees 30
years old or over, the board recon-
mends that they be destroyed as the
cost Of treatment would exceed the

THE COOLING MOTH
The worst enemy known to Utah or
chardlsts Is the cooling moth which
lays eggs that produce the apple worm.
The board deems It necessary to in-
press upon the minds Of fruit growers
the Importance Of spraying every %
days throughout the season after the
blossoms fall. Because OF the adultera-
ton Of Paris Green, the board recnm.
mends the use Of white arsenic as a poi
son for the cooling moth. Reports show
mat where the instructions Of the
board In regard 10 spraying, have been
follower fully So per cent Of the apples
may be kept free from worms, some
growers even claiming % per cent Of
perfect apples.
PLENTY or FRUIT TREES.
Up to 1896 an order for 5O0Oo fruit
trees would have ntcesstated sending
out Of the state to m It. while
today there are probably 1000,
900 fruit trees suitable for delivery in
the various nurseries in Utah. This 10

EXPERIMENT FARM,
The horticulture experiment farm
conducted By the board consists Of 40
acres OF irrigable land IN Washington

perimonts In fruit culture cannot be
over estimated, as such experiments
determine the suitability Of the differ
ent varieties Of fruit 10 the conditions

The board recommends that most
careful thought be given 70 framing
of such amendments 70 the present
law us to give all legal sanction 70 the
