Spraying,

Mr. VB Bishop recently compile
ted the spraying of his orchard,
and look at the trees is enough to
convince US that the work is thor
ough and well-done. Mr. Bishop
is the only one, to our knowledge,
who has resorted to systematic
and regular SPRAYING, and thos e
who have inspected his trees and
the fruit Of recent years have no
difficulty in seeing The adyantag' $
that accrue.
In this connection we haYe won
dered that some one or mere per-
sons do not engage III the spraying
business in eur county. The
work is approved Of by all fruit
growers, the good results appar-
ent, and there would be no lack ct
business along this line if some
one will procure an outfit aud learn
the ant. The majority of the
fruit.growers Of Highland would
GLADLY avail themselves OF this
method of killing and preventing
pests and disease, if the trouble in
cident to an individual outfit were
not SO great, and many others
small growers-feel that they can.
not afford the expense, set would
willingly pay a liberal price to a
neighborhood or county spraying
company.
These suggestions are given not
only because the work is needed in
the preservation of our fruits, but
because we candidly believe the
business is a promising one from
monetary standpoint, and we
sincerely hope that some energetic
fellow will look in to it,
