Honorable Commissioner of Agriculture, Albany : 



Sir. — I submit this essay for publication under Chapter 230 of 

 the Laws of 1895. It is no part of its purpose to present any con- 

 secutive discussion of the subject of spraying, but it seeks to answer 

 the commonest types of questions which the fruit-raisers of the 

 State have asked me during the past season. The results of various 

 experiments upon spraying will be published later by my associate, 



Mr. Lodeman. 



L. H. BAILEY.
