sible in order to start them in the work, and by visits and by corre- 
spondence assistance was rendered to growers in other parts of 
the State. Thus at Fort Valley the Hale Georgia Orchard Co. 
sprayed three times its entire bearing orchard of about 100,000 trees. 
The same schedule of treatments was also adopted by Mr. W. C. 
Wright in his orchard of 60,000 trees and by others in the immediate 
neighborhood. Also at Marshallville, Ga., the treatment was adopted 
by Mr. S. H. Rumph and other leading growers, the total number of 
trees sprayed in this general section aggregating about a million. 
At Barnesville, Ga., practically all of the large orchardists used the 
combined spray, aggregating not less than 500,000 trees. At Bald- 
win, Ga., some of the leading growers sprayed not less than 100,000

trees. Messrs. Stranahan Bros., of Warm Springs, Ga., have been 
spraying for the past three years and were among the first large peach 
orchardists to adopt the lime-sulphur treatment even before it was 
out of its experimental stage. Also around Adairsville and at num- 
erous other points in Georgia spraying was adopted by the leading 
crowers, at least 2,000,000 trees for the State as a whole being sprayed. 
Considering all of the Southeastern States it is probable that in this 
territory 3,000,000 trees were sprayed during 1910. 
Considerable spraying has also been done by peach orchardists in 
West Virginia, western Maryland, and Pennsylvania, including a total 
of perhaps 1,000,000 trees. The treatment has also been adopted by 
some growers in Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas, aggregating about
