WHY SPRAYING IS NECESSARY

Fast and sone are those days when
large crops Of perfect fruit, uninjured
by ~curculio. cooling moth, or scab,
could be harvested without thought of
sprays and spray pumps, of lead
arsenate or paris green, OF lime-sulfur
n bordeaux mixture, and of other
treatments for the troubles which
contest the modern fruit growers
success.
In the early days, young orchards
required but little care after planting
other than occasional cultivation,
until In due time the perfect. unblem-
ished fruit was gathered. A gradual
change has taken place with the in
PRODUCTION and dissemination of new
insect pests and plant diseases, until
now spray apparatus and materials
are absolutely necessary.
These changing conditions have
taught us a strong lesson Of the pos
sibility Of wen more disastrous intro
auctions Of pests. There are still many
serious pests in foreign lands which

Many growers who have a lar~e acre
age Of alfalfa disc their fields ga n
season. Discing, however, is apt to
be destructive to the alfalfa in sec
tons where the alfalfa does not thrive

II there is a considerable growth or
fall weeds or grasses these may be
burned of the following spring before
the alfalfa starts. The field should be
burned before a strong wind to avoid
injury to the alfalfa crowns. In sec
tons where soils require lining. it is
sometimes advantageous to make an
application Of lime either in the
spring or after the first cutting.
slaked lime may be used, but ground
'unburned limestone is preferable, as
this will not injure the alfalfa plants.

I should like to see every farmer

no better occupation. The farm offers
great advantages for success. ana
farm life is a splendid life.
And it is growing better as the
years go by. The boy who learns to
farm right today will be q big man

INCUBATION OF ALFALFA.

without artificial incubation. These,
however, are the exception rather than
the rule.
The advantages OF artificial cultures
lie in the greater ease Of transporta.

absence Of the danger OF introducing
plant diseases or harmful weeds. In
oeulation produced by the cultures. In
case It is successful, seems to be In
every way as efficient as when the soil
method Is Used. Fewer failures are
reported in the case Of the s~oil-trans-
fer method. however.
1t has been foui.d that esses are
more apt to follow incubation with
pure cultures II the seed Is sown i'm
mediately after the seed has been
dried after having been inoculated.
There is some evidence accommodating
to indicate that the germs in the pure
cultures when they do survive are
superior to those normally found in
the alfalfa soil. 1t is suggested there
fore, that both the soil-transfer
and the artificial cultures be
used.
II seeded in the late summer or
carly autumn. alfalfa will require no
treatment that autumn unless a
growth Of more than IL inches Is

The small white 1arva of the bronze

these winding galleries are revealed
by the corresponding ridges on the ex-

No adequate remedy has beer found
to combat this pest. although a heavy

a valuable check. It is always ad-
visable to cut out and burn all infested
