Keep Your Eye on X. U. Orchard.

University of Kansas, Sept. 19.-That
poor fruit would have been impossible
in Kansas had the farmers followed
the methods used in the state univer-
sity experimental orchard is the Opin-
ion of Walter Wellhouse, secretary of
the Kansas state horticultural society.
This certainly shows what a little
care given the orchard will do de-
clared Mr.. Wellhouse after a recent
visit. The rows of Gano, Ben Davis,
York Imperial. Mammoth Black TwiS
and Winesap were loaded with apples
with scarcely a blemish to be found.
Professor Hunter and his assistants
have certainly prevented any damage
from coddling moth, curculio, scab or
blOtch by thorough spraying. 1t is as
suredly a good object in orchard treat
ment and it would pay anyone interest
ed in apple growing to see this orch
ard and talk with Professor Hunter in
regard to the manner of treatment"
