The attitude OF John p Hopkins, ex-

uncertain element in the situation at

at the aggressions of the Harrison ma

SPRAYING,

Spraying Is merely one Of the sani-
tary measures that necessarily go
with successful fruit raising It is pre-
yentiye- not curative. Bordeaux
mixture Is not an efficient remedy
against the attacks Of Insects, nor Will
Paris green successfully prevent fun
gl. but combination of the two rem
edies. II rightly handled, Will prove
an efficient barrier against variety
Of troubles Spraying is an expensive
and tedious process and is not worth
doing at all unless done well and at
the right time. This does not mean
that it is necessary to spray eight or
ten times during the season in order
TO get results Three thorough applt
cations at the proper time ought to
Insure a good per cent of crop in
any ordinary season. Considered
from the standpoint Of time and ex-
pense, three applications will be about
as much as are ordinarily given un-
less there Is an epidemic which sell
dom occurs In this country. The
trouble with growers who have large
orchards lies in the hired help. Spray
ing must be done right and bandages
must be carefully looked after. High.
er wages and trades unions do not
mean a greater degree of painstaking
service. Field and Farm.
