State Advances In horticulture.

Clemson College.-Though begun
only four years ago, the spraying of
orchards for insect and fungus depre-
dations is nov thoroughly we'll estab-
lished in South Carolina, to such an
extent. in fact, that horticulture is for
the first time getting upon a CONNER
cial basis in this state. These facts
were made known by Prof. A. F. Con-
radi, entomologist of Clemson Col
lege, who has had charge of this work
in the state and has watched it grow
from practically nothing to it's pres
ent proportions.
J Prof. Conradi's division now has
13 spray pumps in the field for doing
pioneer work wherever work is neces-
sary. These pumps are scattered
from the mountains to the coast. Be-
sides them, there are pumps privately
owned in every county in the state, a
condition unknown ven three years
ago. For when the field work was
begun by Clemson College in 1909 it
was hard to find pumps anywhere. In
many places in South Carolina or
chard owners are getting past the
barrel pump stage and are putting up
2O0-gallon pumps. One man in Pick
ems county is constructing a pump to
be run by motor.
Call this has been accomplished in
four years." said Prof. Conrad. "Of
course the prevalence of spary pumps
is the very best Indication of i'm
proved orchard methods. l don't ex-
pect Jul pumps to be in use at all
next year, as there are so many uses
to which the barrel spray pump can
be put that every one ought to have
one and nearly every farmer is buy
ing one"
When asked what some of these
uses were to which the barrel spray
pump could be put, Prof. Conradi
replied that besides its great value
for orchard spraying, it can be used
in garden spraying, whitewashing,
cold water painting and in stables
and chicken houses, besides other
uses.
