ABOUT SPRAYING TREES

As the season Tor fruit bloom is at

spoken in regard to spraying opera

spray calendars give very explicit di.
rections tor this work. il is often
brought to our attention that some
spraying is done while trees are in
bloom. No spray material whatever
should he applied at this time. 1t
