 Note how the bloom partially closes to pro- 

 tect the pistil and stigma on approach of a 

 storm. After blossoms have fallen, and 

 before the fruit turns down, is the oppor- 

 tune time for spraying. 



J. A. Stone— I think it would be useless, 

 as horticulturists are finding out that it 

 does no good to spray till fruit is out of 

 bloom, and is a great waste of material. 



A. F. Brown — Not living in such a loca- 

 tion, and not knowing personally the exact 

 extent of such loss to bee-keepers, I cannot 

 say what would be juxt to every one con-

R L. Taylor— There is no advantage to 

 the fruit grower in spraying trees, etc., in 

 bloom, therefore there should be a law 

 against doing so with any material poison-

 has a law prohibiting spraying while trees 

 and vines are in bloom. 



G. W. Deraaree — Bee-culture is a rural 

 pursuit that is as much entitled to protec- 

 tion tiy The laws of tlip* State as is any 

 other rural iulere^t. There is no use of
