MORE SPRAYING.
Inspector Brown Finds That san
Jose Scale Needs More Careful
Treatment.
druggist.

Special Horticultural Inspector J.
NJ Brown Of North Yakima was in
Sunnyside several days last week,
ana while here gave Tie following
interview to the Republicans:
4 have just been through some CT
the orchards adjacent to Sunnyside,
ana find the apple crop in first-clasS
condition. ! also find that the orch
ardists have made an honest attempt
20 spray against the san Jose scale,
and so far as they have gone have
done good o}k-that is, wherever
tAey have hit the scale, they have
succeeded in Killing it, but l notice
also that here are some orchards
that are, or We're, very badly affected.
also notice that the average orch
ardist has neglected to spray as
thoroughly as he should have done
He did not get quite high enough up
in the tree to kill all of the scale,
and The tips of the lower limbs are
not sprayed as thoroughly as they
should be. I find some live scale
only where they failed to hit the al
fected parts well.
"Now, as a remedy, l would sug-
eest that a the very first appearance
en- the apple Of the little red spot
caused BY the scale they take the
lime and sulphur solution and dilute
It 20 &c and spray their trees again.
They can add one and one-fourth
pounds Of arsenate Of lead at the
same time and spray against the
codling moth att he same time. At
no time should more than one and
one-four,h pounds Of lead to each 80
gallons of water be used.
Il also notice that when the farm
ers sprayed their fruit trees they neg
lected to spray their roses and other J
shrubbery, which are full of the
scale. Now, | am afraid that if the
scale shows up yely much it will be
very natural for the fruit grower to
say that the lime and sulphur solu-
ton they used was not good, but they
need not be afraid on that score. #
they viii examine their trees where |
they We're coated thoroughly with |
he solution they will find the scale
a. dead as a macherel,' SO to speak
do your spraying for the moth
wi a coarse mist, with the spray
ing nozzle turned downward TO such |
in extent that one viii force the
fluid downward instead OF upward,
each subsequent spraying being with
very fine mist,
y had heard that the fruit in the
sunnyside valley was Killed. After a
thorough investigation I am agree
ably surprised and glad I made this
Trip ! find all Kinds of fruit in first
class condition. Present indications
are hat there viii be 800 per cent.
Of crop that is, as the fruit now
hangs four-ffths Of it viii have to
be removed to give the best results.
The apple crop especially gives prom
Use Of abundance Bartlett and Win
ter Nelis pears are in fine shape. All
pear srees have more than two crops
on. The condition of the trees rela-
tive to scale and pests is very good.
The people have disposition to fol-
low instructions regarding spraying.
