WHY = lying is PRACTICED
Spraying Done Elmn> and to Prevent Fungous
Diseases From Destroying Plants and Trees

Two classes Of enemies attack fruit
trees and plants viz: Inse cts and fun
gous diseases. The application of sub
stances, usually liquid, to the tree or
plant Tor the purpose of preventing
or destroying these constitutes spray
ing.
We spray to destroy insects and to
prevent fungous d d.sGaSes. Spraying is
no longer an experiment 1t is an
eSta bl1shed fact tha intelligent and
persistent spraying always pays. The
effects of spraying are cumulative.
The effects of spraying last year and
this year may result in an increased
Yield next year. An instructive bull
letin issued by the Wisconsin Horti-
cultural Society, has the follow ng to
say regarding spraying: The insects
affecting fruit may be divided for con-
venience into two classes. which are
distinguished by their mode of feel
ing, viz: Eating or chew -ng insects
and sucking insects.
Eating insects consume the affected
tissues, commonly the leaves, and
thereby hinder the functions Of the
plant. The common example is the
potato bug or beetle Insects of
this class are destroyed by poisoning
their food. Sucking insects do not
consume the external tissues Of the
plant, but feed only on the sap. In
order to accOmpl sh this the insect
thrusts its prOboscis through the eX
ternal coverings and sucks the juices

in villages according to their custom
in their native land and when there
are not enough horses to draw the
plows, the women Of the village act
as substitutes. 1t is said to be not

more women attached to q plow by

1t is safe to state the situation thus: The
