Spraying Fruit-TreesWIiile in Bloom 



Query 163.— As the spraying of trees and 

 vines while in bloom has caused much destruc- 

 tion of bees and trreat loss to bee-keepers, 

 should an a)?itation be inaugurated for its sup- 

 pression?— Frvitkk. 



P. H. Elwood— Yes. 



Adrian Getaz — Yes. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — Yes. 



R C. Aikin— Yes, sir-ree. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber — Yes, decidedly. 



J. M. Hambaugh — Yes, by legislation. 



C. Davenport — Most certainly, in my 

 opinion. 



J. A. Green — Yes, we should have laws 

 that will protect the bees. 



O. O. Poppleton— Yes, if that is the best 

 way to suppress the practice. 



C. H. Dibbern — Yes, because it is not the 

 rii/ht time to spray, regardless of the bees. 



E. France— If my neighbors sprayed dur- 

 ing frnit blossom I would talk to them 

 about it. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — This has already 

 been done enough to discourage the practice 

 by progressive men. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Most assuredly. Es- 

 pecially as it would be unwise if there 

 were no bees to be injured. 



Dr J. P. H. Brown— Correct knowledge 

 of '■ the time" to spray should be agitated, 

 and disseminated among fruit-growers. 



G. M. Doolittle— York State has so " agi- 

 tated " and ■' inaugurated " that we have a 

 strong law against spraying while fruit- 

 trees are in bloom. 



Emerson T. Abbott — Yes, sir 1 As it is an 

 injury to the fruit as well as the be^'the 

 fruit-grower should be tauffht^^Wnis as 

 quickly as possible. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Where have you been 

 that you haven't known that the agitation 

 was inaugurated long ago. and many 

 States have laws for its suppression ? 



D. W. Heise — Certainly there should be 

 agitation. Every State and territory in 

 America should pass 'a law prohibiting the 

 sprajing of fruit-trees while in bloom. 



Eugene Secor — Yes, but the sprayer must 

 be convinced that it does no good to spray 

 while trees are in bloom, for nine times out 

 of ten he doesn't care a fig for your bees, 



E. Whitcomb— Get in close touch with 

 your horticulturist, and convince him that 

 in spraying while in bloom he injures his 

 prospect for fruit, and loses his time and 

 material used. Trees cannot be sprayed
