SPRAYING VALUE
 HAS BEEN PROVEN
Campaign on to Urge Farm CTS of Necessity of Taking
 Care of Fruit Trees

Auburn, June Special. )-Dur ing the winter and early spring the Alabama county agents were busy conducting spraying demonstrations along with other work and two in- stances which demonstrate the real value of this work have already been reported
 According to County Agent F. NJ White of Clay county the peach or .. chards belonging to V T. Pitts and Fred Hutchins have already pro- duced excellent crops of early peaches, showing the good effects of proper spraying by being practically free of worms and also rotten spechs whereas unspraNd fruit in the samo community is so wormy that 1t can hardly be used
 Another instance is reported by L.. w. Johnson of Cullman county, who conducted demonstration by prop erly spraying one Mayflower peach tree and leaving unsprayed a simi- - lar tree only a few feet away. The results were that the sprayed tree produced excellent fruit, while the fruit from the unsprayed tree was so full of worms and rotten specks that 1t was almost worthless. Mir. Johnson reports further that as a re suit of proper spraying several peach trees in Cullman county have ripened nice sound fruit this year which they had never done before.t
 For SerNNa1 he nf y agents and other members of the Alabama extension service have been urging the farmers to spray their fruit trees, which is becoming & more general practice and it IS hoped that we are approaching the time when every county in the state will be filled with model home or chards along with successful com mercial orchards in many counties.
