Report of State Board of Horticulture. 29' 



simplif J' matters and recommend that every one use the lime 

 sulphur and salt spray, and that only during the winter sea- 

 son, and the arsenate of lead for codling moth during the 

 summer. There is no use in confusing people by recom- 

 mending a great number of sprays. 



There is great interest taken in the matter of planting 

 walnuts, and I feel like again warning people against care- 

 lessness in the selection of soil and trees. Many mistakes 

 were made in planting prunes during the boom of prune 

 planting, and the same thing is being done with the walnuts 

 I believe that the walnut for real success will require just 

 about the same conditions as the prune, and that where 

 prunes have failed walnuts should not be planted. A little 

 forethought will save a great deal of later regret.

 Commissioner First District.
