REGARDING PRUNING
Peter Hovland Says BungIers Spread
Disease BY Lack Of Care.

Editor Daily World:
have read what you wrote in
the issue of the Daily World Novem-
Der 18th about so-called expert prun-
ers, but how will you get rid of
them?
The need Of improvement in prun-
ing must first be recognized, and
this cannot be secured until those
interested are made to realize that
improvement is needed.
When a fruit grower tells a green
horn he can show him how in ten
minutes, everybody who understand
a little about pruning knows he is
peddling hot air." but the green
horn may have tongue that is
hung up in the middle and goes
at both ends and there you have an
expert"
Diseases have increased a whole
lot since l came here, five and a
half years ago, and insist that the
primers have helped the insects to
spread them by not disinfecting their
tools. How many primers in this
valley are there who disinfect their
tools and how many growers are
there who demand it? They do not
yet recognize that one ounce of pre-
vention is better than tons of spray
ing material.
Three years ago I wrote an article
in Wenatchee newspaper about
pruning, and urged disinfection of
the tools, but have never discovered
it done yet; they still keep it up,
carrying diseases from one tree to
on their tools.
This disinfection may seem to the
grower at first to be Improbable
and unnecessary. However, he will
soon appreciate its Importance if it
is omitted. Clean up old trees in the
that may harbor the
disease organisms. if necessary de-
stroy them by burning them imme-
diately on the spot.
