Of little pits where the flowers fell
from the twig. If the fruit set, the
larger fruit scar will indicate the fact.
The character of this fruit scar will
indicate in a general way whether the
fruit was we'll developed or whether it
fell prematurely.
In fact, the characters of the twigs
tell pretty accurately what the trees
have been doing in past years. From
them the skillful grower may read the
life history of the tree.
Careful reflection upon the relation
between what the tree has done and
what has been done to the tree may
be an important guide to the best
methods of treatment to be adopted.
Anything which draws the growers
attention to his trees usually results
in better care, for he then sees what
they need, and when they need it..
Among the most urgent needs of fruit
growing trees is spraying to prevent
injury from insects and fungous dis
eases.
The best growers are now coming to
recognize the fact that spraying has
become a necessary factor to success.
Spraying should be looked upon as
something more than merely means
of saving or better perfecting the i'm
mediate crop Of fruit.
1t promotes the general health and
vigor of the tree and may determine
the character of subsequent crop and
| also promote the longevity Of the
orchard.
Fungous disease and insects not only
injure the fruit crop, but they may
seriously injure the trees by destroy
ing the leaves or by causing them to
drop too early in the autumn.
Most of the most serious diseases
and insects may be controlled by
spraying. Bordeaux mixture should
be applied for the fungous diseases,
| and to this paris green or some other
arsenical poison should be added for
! insects.
The spraying should be done at the
right time. For apple scab the first
| spraying should be made shortly be-
| fore the flowers open, just after they
| fall and twice subsequently, at inter-
walls of ten days or two weeks.
The poison may be put in the two
| first sprayings after the blossoming
period to kill cooling moth and canker
| worm.
For bitter rot two later sprayings
| should be made shortly before the time
when the rot usually appears in the
neighborhood.
The spraying should be done thor
oughly. ALI parts of the tree should
| be we'll covered with fine spray.
The power sprayers are more effl-
cient, as the work can be done far
| more rapidly and the spray can be
| broken up into a fine mist and got
effectually to all parts of the tree. For
all large orchards power sprayers are
| to be recommended.
| In addition to spraying, proper prun-
| ing and general care are essential.
| The man who sprays is likely to prune,
as it enables him to spray more ell
GENTLY and with less labor and less
waste of time.
| All diseased or injured fruit should
| be kept out of the orchard. A few In
fected apples left on the trees or IN
| der them may infect the orchard mkt
| year.
Those who are beginning spraying
| should send to their state experiment
| stations for free bulletins, giving de-
tailed directions for mixing and apply
| ing the sprays.

Every state In unloa.

II was formerly believed that black.

sinued observation soon made Il clear,
however. that fowls also might have
the disease. and II Ia nov q well e.

practically all domestic poultry are
susceptible: and, although they are
much more resistant than turkeys,
they frequently die OF hlackhsad. The
same organism has been found In
guinea fowl, ducks. pheasants. quail.
grouse. pigeons and sparrows. But
the chief danger from such general
occurrence OF the disease In a mild
torn lies In the fact that where there
are domestic poultry the grounds are
necessarily contaminated with the
eausative organism. and thus rendered
unsuitable for raising turkeys. For
this reason II Is never safe TO allow
turkeys and other poultry 20 use the
same yards. The occurrence OF the dis.
ease in Wild birds such as the quail.

for infection.
As general things, the poultryman
will do better 10 study methods OF
prevention than TO waste his money
on so-called remedies and cures"
for blackhead. Treatment should be,
In the main. limited to such birds as
are OF special value, and the poultry
man should devote his attention to Sc
curing conditions which are calculated
to prevent the disease In his focks as
a whole.
Regarding such preventive measures

recommended: % Protect the yards
