Spraying has been most APPLY re-

Spraying should be done by every
fruit grower-voluntarily II he Will. or
arbitrarily If he refuses.
A common mistake made by o
who do spraying is to hurry through
the lob as quickly as possible.
It costs about 10 cents per tree to
spray an orchard three times, with 90
trees to the acre.
Thousands Of dollars are lost by
farmers who neglect fruit trees or att
or planting them give them little or
no attention.

In order to insure rapid sprouting
and good growth some tree seeds
with thick hard shells need prelimi-
nary treatment.
A careful pruning Of currant bushes
when they are in full bearing Is
recommended in order to remove
