 Good Effects of Tree Spraying.
 The system of spraying trees that was adopted in Danielson during the last summer has proved very effective. Films that suffered particularly from the ravages of the beetle during the previous year have passed through the season just closed without being touched by the pest. Fruit trees that were given a spraying with the arse nate of lead solution have also shown remarkably satisfactory returns. The fruit has come to maturity in greater quantity and in better quality than it ever has shown without spraying of the trees. The results are so satisfy ing that the number of trees to be sprayed will be greatly increased next year.
