Woodbury. Arrives.
Prof c. G. Woodbury. of Purdue uni
versity arrived in the city this morn
ing and lectured on Orchard Spray
ing" at the NJ. E. church. BY the num-
ber of women in attendance it is judg-
ed that the orchard is of great inter
est to them.
The Wayne county horticultural So
ciety was we'll represented. Prof.
Woodbury. called attention to the pro-
fits made by men devoting their time
to fruit raising.
He recommended that some form OF
arsenic or paris green be used foy kill
ing insects. Another pest 10 fruit
trees is the San Jose scale which is
found in every county in the state. A
kerosene emulsion was recommended
for it. Still another insect is the
fungi which grows on trees causing
them to be knotty. The Bordeaux
mixture is best for fungi diseases.
Several formulas were stated.
How to Treat Fruit.
Plums and peaches when sprayed
with this mixture should be treated
with weaker mixtures. In the use Of
chemicals for spraying he said that
arsenated lead was better than paris
green. 1t sticks better and does not
burn the foliage.
He declared that it important that
the trees be sprayed just before the
petals of the blossom fall in order to
control the coddling moth.

scoring of corn took up advanced
work The attendance was increascd
and included several women. Prof.
