THE EARTH'S BOUNTY 



in an orchard, it is economy to purchase the 

 barrel machine, which has a strong agitator to 

 prevent the ingredients settling, and a pump 

 to force the mixture through long pipes, ca- 

 pable of reaching the center of large trees. 

 The apparatus, mounted on wheels, costs about 

 $25. 



Always remember that spraying is of little 

 avail unless done thoroughly, for one affected 

 spot that escapes the spray will contaminate 

 whole trees within a short time. 



The same general care and treatment applies 

 to pears and peaches, the only difference being 

 in planting. Pears should be 20 feet apart; 

 peaches 14 feet apart.
