Here is a harrow that looks very 

 different from the old spike or spring 

 toothed harrow. 



It is different. Every point of dif- 

 ference is a point of big improvement. 

 It is as much fjetter than the old 

 fashioned harrow cis a modern plow is 

 better than the Indians' crooked stick.

uses the 4-4-50 mixture. "Be careful 

 and drive round and round the tree, there- 

 by making sure that all parts of a tree are 

 covered. A bushel of good apples goes 

 quite a ways in paying for the spraying 

 material." About the time the blossoms 

 fall, he advised using 4 pounds lime, 4 

 pounds copper sulphate and 4 ounces 

 Paris green to 50 gallons of water. When 

 spraying do not guess at anything, but 

 weigh everything and be accurate. Some 

 orchard owners prefer to hire spraying 

 done, paying $3 per day — the owner fur- 

 nishing all material. 



W/" H. UNDERWOOD, the well- 

 " • known apple grower of Hutchin- 

 son, Kan., in a report to the Western 

 Fruit-Grower thus sums up the advan- 

 tages of spraying "as we see them in this 

 district. The comparisons made cer- 

 tainly are interesting and suggestive: 

 "The orchards sprayed thoroughly and 

 not affected by the hail, had from the 

 best crop to twice as good a crop as they 

 ever produced before, and I mean by 



WALLACE SPkAYtk IN SI KAWBhHKY HELD 



thorough spraying, five or six times over 

 and doing it at the proper time and get- 

 ting done within five or six days of time 

 it was started. The orchards that were 

 sprayed only once or twice and where 

 they were sprayed too late, had what we 

 should judge would be a half crop. Un- 

 sprayed orchards in this district produced 

 no No. 1 packing fruit this year. And 

 this was in orchards that had produced 

 the big end of the crop in this district in 

 previous years. Seventeen other growers 

 who bought thirty-two spraying machines 

 all had No. 1 and fancy fruit which could 

 be stored, and all but two of them I think 

 stored their fruit. The other sixty odd 

 growers in this district who did not spray, 

 sold their fruit as windfalls to the wagon 

 trade to take out west. Out of over sixty 

 of these growers, only seven have had 

 any fruit fit to store, and of those seven 

 only two made a grade of No. 1 apples." 



PENNSYLVANIA appropriates $30,- 

 000 annually for the purpose of pro- 

 tecting the fruit crop of that state from 

 the ravages of insect pests and fungous 

 diseases. Illinois appropriates $12,000 a 

 year, and may increase the amount to 

 $25,000 at the present session of the leg-
