SOME PRACTICAL RESULTS
OF ORCHARD SPRAYING
Experiments Which Prove the Value
Of the Treatnent-By o. M. Morris,
HorticuIturist, and John r. Nlchol-
son, EntomoIogist.

An experiment In spraying was
made on a large scale at the Okla.
homa experiment station for the pur.
pose of determining the cost of spray
Ing, the benefits that may be derived
from the work, and the practicability
Of the work from financial stand
point. The orchards used In this work
were divided into plats or suficient
size to give each plat practical test
Check, or unsprayed trees were left
in each plat.
The orchards selected had never
been sprayed and had received very
poor care and cultivation but were in
no worse shape than the average farm
orchard. The trees were very thick
In the top and good spraying work
could not be done with less than twice
the effort necessary to be expended
upon trees Of equal size but with prop
erly formed tops.
Plat ! was to be sprayed as soon
as the blossoms fell from the trees.
This plat was sprayed once only. Plat
2 was sprayed three times. The first
spraying was to be done as soon as
the blossoms fell from the trees. The

DEATH OF DONALD CLARK.

Donald Clark, the 12-year-old son
of N. H. Clark of Boise, died Tues.
day under the influence of chloro-
form administered SO that an opera
ton could be performed to remove
his tonsils.
The family home of the Clarks is
Idaho Falls, and the remains were
brought there for burial, the party
passing through Blackfoot Wednes-
day evening. Chase, Barzilla and
VIII Clark of Mackay joined them
here.
No blame is attached to anyone for
this unfortunate case, as it is claim
ed that some people are so CONSTITUTE
ed that the use of an anaesthetic is
fatal About one case in 5000 dies
under the influence of chloroform,
while all the others may sustain little
or no perceptible injury.

second spraying was to be done two
weeks after the first and the third
two weeks after the second. Plat 8
was to be sprayed six times. The first
second and third sprayings were to
be done on the same dates as on plat
z. The fourth spraying was to be
done four weeks after the third NE
NTH two weeks after the fourth, and
the sixth two weeks after the fifth.
Plat l was sprayed April to IL.
Plats and 3 were, sprayed the first
time on May Is. This spraying was
about two weeks late. owing to the
fact that between April Is and May
ii 1t rained II days during which
time IA inches of water fell leaving
the land SO wet that the work could
not be done
The first and second sprayings on
all plats were very unsatisfactory ow.
ing to lack Of power in the pumps.
For this work hand pump was used
but sufficient pressure on the nozzles
for good work could be maintained
only with great labor. The wind blew
very hard on the date of '.the second
spraying and prevented satisfactory
work being done.
Plats . and 3 were sprayed the third
time on June ~ and 49, This was

The above table is based on the
actual count Of the fruit that matured
on the tree and that was hand picked
in early fall. Over 60 per cent. of the

Farming BY Electricity.

q Commodore Tom Lee was down yes
terday and stated that the electric
power recently installed on the ranch
was tried out in good shape last
week. AS short trial of the pro-
position $50 tons of hay constituted
the lot, and there is nothing harder
on the fact of the earth to stack than
green lucerne, yet everything worked
out to perfection. The motor and
equipment is so arranged that ev-
cry portion of the tract can be
reached with little time lost, and the
system of handling the product is
causing the natives to ponder good
and hard over the proposition, and it
is something for anyone to ponder
over, as one might travel from here to
Missouri, travel over it's classic wilds
down into Kansas; skip straight over
the country into the vineyards of
Lombardy and over into the valley of
the Nile, through the Russian low
lands, across German hills, over Eng
lish downs, Scottish fields and Irish
pastures, back through the farming
country of the dominion, down the
coast, and then he would have to
come home to the Bungalow and
Commodore and witness farming by
electricity. 1t is a world-beater. A
new self-loading apparatus has been
installed on the ranch, and with all
other modern machinery appliances
in sight, the net result is something
marvellous. Falls Post.
