the aphids are not attacking all

age may become more widespread
in the spring, if weather conditions

In an effort to overcome the
feed shortage, much larger
acreage of small grain has been
sown this fall than in recent years

GOOD FRUIT CROP
in IA EXPECTED
Farmers Are Urged To
Order Sprayers And
Equipment Now

COLLEGE STATION, RALEIGH,
Dec. 19.-Fruit growers can look
forward to relatively large crop
II. 1914, following the short crop
TINS year, and they should order
spray materials. fertilizer and
other orchard supplies row so as
to be sure to have them when they
are needed, C. E. VanDeman,
horticultutrist of the State College
Experiment Station, said here
Saturday.
He pointed out that orchards
should be carefully pruned and
sprayed, utilizing as mich labor
saving machinery as possible, since
fruit which is understood, poorly
colored, and badly blelnished by
| insects and diseases does not bring
top prices.
He advised apple growers, fol
example, to cut out the weak anc
spindly wood on the underside Of
limbs, near the base of the large
branches, and On the inside of the
tree. Where trees have been al
lowed to grow too tall, some of the
sappermost branches may have tt
be removed by rruning.
The removal of weak, shaded
wood throughout the tree makes i
easier for the grower to DO gooe
job of controlling insects and dis
eases. Such pruning is especially
important if unskilled and mex
rerienced labor will have to DE-
much of the spraying.
''Too much emphasis cannot b.
given to the details of the spray
program" VaDeman said. There
ere no dependable shortcuts tt
this important and expensive orch
ard operation. Failure to do a gooe
Job of spraying early in the sea
sen cannot be remedied by extra
care later in the season. I
thorough, dormant spray SHOULD
be used for the control of aphid
e,nd scale diseases on apples" h

tent of starch and sugar makes
the sweet potato an excellent
