Perhaps the work of spraying ors received a greater drawback through the 'lumber of inferior pumps placed ul;iou the market than through any other cause; for wbicb ea inrde-, "nate outfit, not only is the work of tgwayiug ere•tty increased, and the time lengthened, bat the results are very unsatisfactory, so that the owner becomes discouraged, and regards the work of spraying as of little benefit. While thorough spraying of Individual orchards shows good remits.

And never be- fore, I believe, since the codling moth first began Its ravages, has • tithe been more propitious for its utter ex- termination time the present. The se- e,pre late sprtma frosts of lees destroy - d many of Gm naotba, and the total ninny of fruit lett them no breeding now so that in 1896 the injury caused by them was scarcely noticeable. The past season they did considerable dam- age in the small amount of fruit grown, but in this section, Lamotoa county, apples were so waren that the moth had little chance for Increasing. What batter time.bare be. thew for a malted eftdrt d.hJ t`utter exter- mination by thtraxes d systematic spraying than the coming spring! A abort time ago I was in receipt of a letter forearded me from the office of the *aparl,taldsat p,rm.;s' lie stitutes at Toronto. which Letter had been received from a Mr. Hadley, a [mit-grower of I.•. Cruces, New Maxi- m. Mr, Hadley mads .orae comments upon a paper read by the prosect writ- er at an institute meeting last sea - 111 ronclusion, he said: "We are fighting the moth, here. god we have one coiocldesoe which Is giving us the keynote to our the of action.

Spraying hes not base net efartorily succeasfnl to this warm climate." Now, it strikes me that if the people of New Mexiro are willing as • whole community to un- dertake the labor of destroying a whole semen's crop of fruit, and suffering the consequent Ions for that year, for the ppuo.rpose of exterminating the moth, we Canadians, with whom spraying is es mcccsiafn!. ttbould be willing to com- bine In • body to flebt the moth by the means which are so ready to hand.
