 A delegation of about eighty members of the American Apple Growers Association which had been in session at St. Louis, visit ed Rentonyille few days ago on invitation of Prof. w. x. Scott, of the United States Department Of Agriculture, who is making experiments on spraying iu the orchard of Capt. Lincoln. Con- corning the visit to the orchard, the editor of the Rogers Demo- crat says: ''Prot Scott took charge of the party when the orchard was reached and called attention to three classes of trees those unsprayed, those sprayed only with the dust Spra V CTS. and those sprayed with liquid applications of Bordeaux mixture. Even to the most ineX- perienced eye the difference was very plain. Three applications of the liquid spray had been ad- ministered since the first ot July and the foliage and fruit was
 white with the mixture. The ground under these trees were free of apples and the bitter Tot seems to have been entirely checked. The dust sprayed ap- pies were bright aud clean but the bitter rot was very apparent and there were many on the ground. The unsprayed trees were in very bad condition and the culls so diseased as to look quite worthless. Some ot the unsprayed trees were as bad example of bitter rot as the writ CT has ever seen anywhere.
