FRUIT GROWERS BUSY SPRAYING.
Opening OF Spring Weather Finds Many Or
chards Undergoing a Treatment With
Prospects Favorable for Big crops.

Fruit growers throughout this sec.
ton and the lower part of the state
have started out to make this a big
fruit year. Spraying is the order of
the day and many curious outfits are
now at work. The farmer who sprays
may not raise fruit; the one who does
not spray, certainly will not raise
any fruit. Joseph E. Carter, of Smyr-
ma, former president of the Peninsula
horticultural Society, who brought
back to life dying orchard by spray
ing, has taken great trouble to rig
several spraying outfits this year SO
that the farmers can see how to rig a
mandy spraying outfit and prepare
ana apply the remedy. The arch
enemy of the peach is still the San
Jose scale, and the farmers are now
having to fight it like the tomato
bugs, quickly and constantly. Death
to the San Jose scale is found in this
solution which is sprayed upon the
trees, beginning now: Lime, 40
pounds; sulphur, 20 pounds; salt. 10
pounds; water, 60 gallons. This is
also partial remedy for leaf troubles,
For other insects, the cooling moth

Ions.
Professor Webb has been at all the
spraying exhibitions and reports that
farmers are waking to the conditions
as never before and are spraying
everywhere. 1t is a new operation to
MANY OF them and is learned only bv
doing Just as a child learns to write
by writing. Those who have orchards
are generally adopting the practice in
their own way and unless damaged bv
heavy frosts harvest of luscious fruit
Will be the result. In fact, there are
many more thousand peach trees set
out and number of young orchards
come in bearing this year. Demon
strations this week at Wyoming and
Brldgeville awakened great interest
and those present went away saying:
ut is much easier than 1 thought;
why did we not know this years ago?"
