BROWN TAIL MOTH IN EUROPE 
National Nurseryman, 
City. 
Gentlemen: 
Your many readers may be interested to know that on 
my recent trip to France I found a,bsolutely no sign of 
brown tail moth either in or out of the nurseries and I shall 
be very much surprised indeed if any are found on stock 
imported this season. This condition should go far toward 
quieting the agitation carried on by the Agricultural De¬ 
partment at Washington in favor of a National Federal 
Inspection Law. Yours truly, 
Rochester, N. Y. Irving Rouse. 
AN EXAMINATION OF APPLE ORCHARDING IN 
NIAGARA COUNTY, NEW YORK 
It is probable that Niagara county has not far from 1,000,000 
apple trees in its orchards. Its apple production is sometimes the 
largest of any county in the state and rarely falls below second place. 
In the year in which the twelfth census was taken (1899), Niagara 
produced 1,421,796 bushels of apples. The apple orchards of the 
county amount to forty-six acres in each square mile. Bulletin 262 
by the Department of Horticulture of the New York State College of 
Agriculture gives the results of a painstaking examination of these 
orchards. Their present condition in reference to drainage, tillage, 
fertilizing, insect enemies and fungous enemies is fully discussed. 
The results from different methods of spray treatment, together 
with the yields and money returns obtained, are set forth in this 
bulletin. The average income of the Niagara county apple orchards 
is in the vicinity of $100 per acre. This is an excellent showing, but 
certainly not as favorable as can be made under the most approved 
systems of orchard management. The bulletin is issued in the 
interests of better apple growing methods in the state. It will be 
found valuable to fruit growers in Niagara county, but not more 
valuable to them than to apple growers in any of the apple growing 
regions of the state. Residents of New York State may obtain this 
bulletin by addressing. Mailing Clerk, New York State College of 
Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y.
