received very careful attention and the 

 best methods adopted for securing the 

 greatest yield possible. All growers of 

 the Northwest may not fully appreciate 

 the importance of spraying a vineyard. 

 Therefore a short but interesting article 

 on spraying grapes is published in this 

 edition of "Better Fruit." 



Grading Machines. — The cost of grad- 

 ing by hand, especially with the in- 

 creased cost in labor, is an unneces- 

 sary expensive method that should be 

 discarded. Grading machines are now 

 being manufactured which do the work 

 at a saving of several cents per box, in 

 much less time, requiring a great deal 

 less space for carrying on the work. A 

 number of grading machines are being 

 manufactured at various prices. Grad- 

 ing machines will save probably five 

 cents per box in doing the work. Any 

 grower with 3,000 to 5,000 boxes of 

 apples can nearly save the cost of a 

 grading machine in a year or two. 



Fruit Juices for Jelly Making. — Con- 

 tainers are very expensive. It is also 

 quite an item of expense to buy all the 

 sugar necessary at one time to put up 

 jelly for the entire season. Fruit can 

 be converted into juice, bottled, ready 

 for converting into jelly later in the 

 year, as required. The housewives of 

 a great many fruitgrowers have tried 

 this method and found it very satisfac- 

 tory. Therefore it seems one well 

 worthy of suggesting to the fruitgrow- 

 ers, and that they may fully understand 

 the method a short article is published 

 elsewhere, entitled "Fruit Juices for 

 Jelly Making."

Winter Kill Needs Attention 



By Leroy Childs, Hood River Experiment Station 



DIE-BACK, or so-called "winter kill" 

 of apple and pear trees is a com- 

 mon disorder in many orchards of the 

 valley this spring. The term "die-back" 

 has been adopted in many sections of 

 the country for this trouble and it is 

 more appropriate than the old name of 



"winter kill." Winter conditions have 

 nothing to do with fully 90 per cent of 

 the trees that have failed to throw out 

 normal foliage, and for this reason the 

 term was very confusing, especially so 

 as it sounds much like the term "winter 

 injury." Winter injury is a term used 

 for mechanical disorder of the tree 

 brought about by freezing and thawing. 

 Our commonest form of winter injury
