Repair That Tree Injury

Visiting the Benton City area
orchards, I find there has been
severe mouse injury to many Of
the orchard trees. Many growers
are busy bridge grating the dam
age to save the trees. Call your
extension office if you have this
problem and need information on
how it should be handled.
Save the Bees
beekeepers of the Benton
Franklin county association are
requesting all fruit men to avoid
spraying the orchards with In.
secticides during the blossom
period when bee activity is high
IN the orchard.
Orchardists must remember
they need the use Of the bees
while the trees are in bloom and
must hold off that spray for q
few days till the bees are remov-
ed, or leave the orchards for 9TH
er flowers. Save the bees and
save your fruit.
