The Leaf Roller.
II is difficult TO estimate with any
degree of certainty damages by In

to farm crops. A conservative esii-
mate or the damage to the apples in
the county from the leaf roller will
range from five per cent in the well
sprayed districts to 80 per cent in
those not sprayed. 1t had been the
hope of the fruit men that the leaf
rollers would not be very numerous
this year. Upon these hopes many

The oil spray Is undoubtedly the
best spray to use for the control of
the leaf roller. The Colorado Agri-
cultural college made extensive ex-
periments on leaf roller control men

results. Until another better spray
is found oil should be used Those

Belgium and northern France, as

because they stand In different rela-

must have immediate relief.
