GORDON, Agent, 1311USSELS, Spraying Orchards, The fruit growers of Ontario have euf fered very great losses in recent years owing to the prevalence of destructive ineeots. The best meane for combatting titin evil has for some time engaged the attention of the Provincial Department of agriculture, and much bas already been accomplished in this direction by extending among farmers a knowledge of the spraying process, which has been found to be the only effective remedy. We have just received the report for 1898 of Wm. Orr, Superintendent of Experi- mental Spraying, which comprises de- tailed reports of experimeute concluded at 30 points throughout the Province, affording muoli information of praotical value to owners of orchards. These ex- perimental sprayings are inoreaeiugly popular, as evidenced by the fact that the attendance last year numbered 8,688, or over 700 more than that of 1897, while it 3008 about double the attendance on the spraying held in 1896. The applications of farmers to have applications held in their localities were much more 00 11030008 than could be responded to. Asa means, however, of bringing clearly and con- vincingly before a large number of people the completely satisfactory results of the spraying procese, a large exhibit was put on view at the Toronto Industrial Exhi- bition, showing sprayed as contrasted with unsprayed fruit, the reepeotive quality and condition of the two showing plainly the advantages of the system. The tent caterpillar, aphis, codling moth, and outer well known but little appreciated injurious iuseote were very much in evidence last year and wrought fearful havoc in unsprayed orchards. In those subject to the spraying treatment, on the contrary, the fruit as a rule, was olean, sound and attractive in appearance. It was all subjected to rigid inspection, and after all in the slightest degree dam. aged was,discarded, the result in many oases, showed from 60 to 100 per bent of the crop in fine condition. Such tests should be sufficient to oonvinoe all of the need of spraying as an ajuuot to success- ful fruit growing, and if this conviction can only be brought home to the farming community as a whole, the gain in pro. duction and in the statue of Canada abroad as a fruit producing country will be immense. Arrangements are now being made for spraying experiments for the current year, and everyone interested eau obtain a list of the orchards and dates on appli. cation to Wm. Orr, Superintendent of Experimental Spraying, Fruitland, Oat. All progressive farmers should have a copy of his report, which they will find fall of suggestion. It can be had by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Toronto. The Department intends also to pub- lish shortly a bulletin containing detailed information onneerniug inseot pests and the best methods of suppressing them by means of the spraying process, which will prove a valuable addition to the available literature on the subject. Ontario Agriculture and Ex- perimental Union, Ce•Operath'o Experiments la Agriculture. 0o -operative experiments in Agriculture have been conducted throughout Ontario in eaoh of the past thirteen year's. In 1386 the work was carried on by 12 far. mere, and 60 plots were meed for this purpose. The number lute been steadily increasing since that date, until in 7.898 those ca operative experiments were oon. ducted by 8,028 farmers, and upwards of 12,000 plots were used for the work. Ob- ject lessons in practical agriculture were Hula located on fully 3000 Ontario farms in the past year. Those who make those taste in their own fields with varieties of farm Drops, methods of cultivation, ways of inoreasing soil fertility, eta , obtain valuable information whioh they cannot possibly get in any other way, Upwards of 1000 varieties of farm crops have been tested in the Experimental Department of the Octavio Agriculture College for at least live yearein succession. Pure seed of the very best varieties are used for the 00 operative experiments. LIST 00 3xrmaltmNTS Lon 1899.

All material will os furnished entirely free of charge to each applicant, bat he will be expected to oonduot the teat ao cording to the instructions sent with the seeds, and to report the results of hie test as soon as possible after harvest. Material for either No. 1 or No. 2 experiment will be sent by express, and for each of the others by mail. The supply of material being limited, those who apply first will be surest of obtaining the desired outfit. It might be well for each applioant to make a second choice for fear the first could not be granted. - Particular varieties need not be men- tioned as the kinds to be distributed are those which have done exceptionally well on the trial plots in the Experimental Department at the College. 0, A, ZAVIT5, Director.
