38 The Bulletin. 



Where Work Was Done. — The places at which demonstrations 

 were made and followed by later treatments and from which we received 

 reports by the owners, are listed on page 37. In addition to these we 

 have given single demonstrations to show the growers how to spray (but 

 not followed by later treatments and not reported upon) at a number of 

 other localities. 



Results. — Following are the reports made by these growers after 

 the fruit had matured in the fall. Bear in mind that in no case did 

 we give more than three sprayings, and had it been practicable for us 

 to have given a summer spraying the results would doubtless have been 

 even better than here shown.

Dear Sir: — The foliage on the sprayed trees is green and fresh, while on the 

 others there is scarcely a leaf. On the tree that was half sprayed the fruit was 

 twice as large and perfect, while on the luisprayed side it was small and inferior. 

 It did not look as if there could be so much difference. ]Many have noticed the 

 ditterence in passing and asked the cause. I am convinced, and so are others, 

 that we will have to sprav. Very truly.

Dear Sir: — Your work liere was very satisfactory, as the foliage is yet green, 

 whik^ the trees near l)y tliat were not sjirayed have lost most all their foliage. The 

 fruit is much larger and nicer and less infested witii worms. Tlie half tree that 

 was sprayed is bright and green and the fruit is fine, while the opposite side (not 

 sprayed) has lost yery near all its foliage. All parties that have seen those trees 

 say tliere is a great difference between the trees that were sprayed and the ones 

 that were not. * * * Very truly yours, 



R. B. Lowe. 



(Bertie County) Aulander, N. C, November 23, 1909. 



Dear Sir: — The apples on the sprayed trees were some larger and about 40 

 per cent better than the others, and on the half-sprayed tree the part that was 

 sprayed was at least 75 per cent better than the unsprayed part.

My Dear Sir: — In regard to the apple trees your department sprayed last 

 spring and summer. The foliage is still (October 7th) green and healthy, and 

 the apples still hanging on the trees, sound and free from worms and bitter rot. 



The variety sprayed is my seedling, Dula Beauty. One-half of one tree was 

 sprayed and the other half, which was not sprayed, shed its leaves and fruit 

 more than three weeks since, and the fruit is on tlie ground rotten; and that is 

 the condition of a large part of my orchard. I hope that the demonstration on ray 

 place will emphasize the importance of spraying to obtain sound fruit. It is no 

 longer an experiment. Respectfully, J. A. Dula. 



(Caldwell County) R. D. 3, Lenoir, N. C, November 7, 1911. 



Dear Sir: — Your work here was very satisfactory. The foliage is still green 

 and healthy, and the apples still hanging on the trees, while the unsprayed trees 

 near by have lost their foliage and the fruit did not amount to anything. All 

 pprsons wlio have seen those trees say there is a great difference between the trees 

 that were sprayed and the ones that were not. 



Yours truly, S. N. Swanson.
