TREES NOT SPRAY ED MENACE TO TO ORCHARD Thousands of dollars are spent an nually throughout Canada by prospec tive amateur garden fruit-growers for nursery trees of apple, pear, plum, cherry and. peach that are profitable only to nurserymen, state R. W. L. Bligh, Dominion Experimental Sta tion.. Kernville, N-S. This is particu larly true in areas remote from the recognized fruit growing sections. One sees it on every hand—a poor site, an unsuitable soil, improper planting with no thought of pollina tion, and after planting, neglect. The trees soon lose their self assertion, and when this' internal or inherent “push” is gone, they become mori bund, linger and fall an easy prey to rodents, winter injury, insect pests and fungus diseases. The prospective amateur garden fruit-grower must be in a position to feed, cultivate, spray, and more or less coddle the young trees from the start. This intensive fore need not be so thorough, but from the time the trees begin io fruit they must receive defin ite attention in respect to culture, cul tivation, and a proper spray program for the control of insect pests and fun gus diseases. Improperly sprayed trees become a menace to the regular commercial or chards. It is from these trees that many of the destructive fruit insects are being disseminated to infest or re infest commercial orchards that have been inspected and found free of in sects. Spraying of these garden orch ards has become compulsory in some districts but has not proved wholly effective because of the inaccessibility of the trees and the difficulty of get ting the work done at the proper time. Elimination of some of these garden gjA orchards has already taken place i»:w^ certain districts and may become gen eral and compulsory.
