L. S. Austin has sprayed his peach
es and grapes just as often as should
be up to the present. He has found
that it pays to apply these sprays at
the proper time so as to be sure to
kill the different pests for which the
sprays are intended. 1t is not too
late to start to spray grapes to get
fair results. Due to the unusually wet
weather conditions during the spring
we anticipate much trouble with diff
ferent rots that cause such great loss
to the fruit crop just as it starts to
ripen.
