No COMPUL
FRUIT SPRAYING
Matter Decided at Meeting
State Board Of HOrticul-
ture at Hamilton.
PROFITABLE SESSION
DR.. Z. @. Sisson, DIR. M. ].
Elr0d and A. L. Strauss
Have Part in Program.

Important decisions regarding the
spraying of fruit trees and shipment Of
scab- injected fruit We're made by the
Montana State Board OF Horticulture
meeting in semi-annual session with the
annual session Of the Montana Horti-
cultural society in Hamilton last week.
The board decided that compulsory
spraying would not be enforced in Mis-
soula or any other urban community in
tho state. The operation of spraying
machinery by the state board during
the coming year will be suspended, it
was decided at the meeting.
Final action concerning the shipment
OF scab-infected fruit for this years
crop was not taken. Regulations which
were adopted last year We're for one
year only, it was announced, and it is
still uncertain whether or not they will
be adopted this year. Fruit growers
were told that neglect of spraying was
at their own risk and that a ready
market for scabby apples could not be
assured.
The following ruling was enforced
during the shipping season last season:
Apples Of defined varieties which
have a total area Of scab not exceeding
0ne-half square inch, may be mark
etcd in standard apple boxes. provid-
Ing such boxes are marked "scab" and
bear the name and address OF the
shipper.
The regulations were satisfactory as
far as could be determined, according
to the officials or the society. The
higher grade apples were freer than
ever from scab, the "scab" grade act
ing az a safety valve for the shippers.
Resolutions protesting against the
setting Of the state fair dates for early
In September were passed by the
board. The board held that it would
be impossible to obtain a creditable
exhibit for the fair IL 1t were held
early in the fall.
