right to maintain a breedingplace

| peetor for District No l, issues
warning to all ranchers that good
Va must be taken of trees in order
ot infected fruit might not be foist-
on the public.
In discussing the matter he said:
|The time has come to clean up
a orchards and everyone who cares
his trees should take good care
them. Those who do not had
tier dig the trees out and burn
EN-.
It Is unfair as we'll as unlawful
maintain a breeding place for all
nds of fruit pests when there are
use who are anxious to raise good,
! Fan fruit.
If is an impossibility for the in
ector or any one person 70 :isit
of the orchards and tell the owner
to clean up, SO | am using this
| ethod OF notifying all that now Is
LEI time to begin, and hope
at a word to the wise will be en-
[gh, 50 that all orchards will receive
e proper attention.
A few suggestions may help those

hunks and should be cleaned off to
I've the trees a good healthy bark
bid to uncover the pests that may be

use for moss. and if there is
eavy coat it may be used as strong

not too bad 1 to 4 or 5 will be
kund strong enough. This should
/ sprayed on all parts of the tree,
living it a thorough soaking.
Gocl for Ground.
What goes on the ground will not

ees need it.
In all spraying operations one
bould use a nozzle with curve, or
Ave a curve ON the end of the ex-
fnsion rod SO as to throw the spray
b under the branches, and then
|lrn it over and throw the spray
own from above. In this way all
brts OF the tree may be covered.
1t is impossible to touch all parts
hen using nozzle that throws
pray directly against the tree.
One should be sure that all parts
the tree are covered before leaving,
Fr if it is not thoroughly done there
bill be plenty of the different pests
d to seed the whoCe tree again,
nd the labor and expense is Largely
VISITED.
If Sthe bark is very rough good
pan is to take an old hoe or some
SIMILAR tool, and scrape the trunks
I'd larger limbs before spraying.
For peach curl leaf spray with
winter strength, one
.allon of stock solution to ten IF
ater just as the buds are swelling.
The winter spraying for apples and
ears should be done with sulphur

For the scab spray, just as the pet
