A nt'j:lected orcliani iu tho country. Orcliardr. of this tj'pe are a menace to the 

 surrounding country. They arc non-productive and act only as Ijreeding; places 

 for depredations of all kinds. They should be properly cared for or destroyed. 

 This orchard not ouly was infested with tent caterpillar, as shown, but abounded 

 with a mixture of insects and diseases. Mandator}- legislation is the onh- effec 

 tive reniedv. 



A neglected city orcliard. Real estate has gone up in value and tliis property is 

 being held as a waiting investment. These trees are neglected, and constitute 

 a menace to the surrounding country. The land for house lots would be just 

 as valuable without them, and why not give them away for the wood. Enough 

 obnoxious insects are bred here to destroy shade, fruit and forest trees all about 

 it. This should not be allowed.
