Section six requires the inspection
OF the orchards within the pest district
by the state entomolosist and the
county Inspector 1t is the duty of
the latter to inspect the land that he
has reason to suspect is bothered by
the pest and II he finds 1t In such a
condition he must notify the owner or

Everybody Must Fight.
Now. I have reeited briefly the dil-
ferent sections of the pest district law.
have made the explanation short be-
cause there are others here who will
talk to you. But before conclude I
want 10 say that it Is OF the utmost
Importance that you spray. Those who
do not control the ieaf-roiler this year
will have the same trouble next year
II fight is not made against the IN
sect they get a stronger foothold each
season and sap the vitality Of the
trees. making It just that much harder
to cope with them when the fsht IL
started. You may not wholly kill out
the leaf-roller this year but you Will
make such remarksble progress that
it will only be a matter of another ,
season until they are wholly destroy
ed
But everybody must hght TO get re-
suits. It will take great share Of
the energy OF every fruit grover TO 4
combat the evil"
After Mr. Weldon had concluded his (
talk number OF questions were ask /
ed him. The first one was: III the
leaf-roller egg patches are on the Elm
trees should they be sprayed" Mr..
Weldon declared that he did MOI think
Il necessary unless they were close
to an orchard He was OF the opinion /
that all of the time and attention
should be given TO the fruit trees. Cur
rents and raspberries should also be (
sprayed II the Iesf-roIler is in abund-
ance
President Davis gave his experiences I
With the lesf-rolier and the mi.cible /
oil spray He told Of his experiments I
and OF mis- work with Mr.. Weldon and
Prof Gill. government entomolosIst
he declared that the green sshis aud
the market for apples were two prob- I
lens that were paramount and should
be discussed in the near future
Mr. Percy H. Troutmsn spoke OF the
difficulty OF getting enough spray oil
and urged that all fruit growers GET
their orders In a. soon a. possible 30
that this section would stand every
chance OF settias a satisfactory sup
ply.
