CaJuilan, Arthur: "You requested of me to give you a utato- ment of the spraying in our orchard. It was of great value to my orchard this year. I am well pleased with the result. 1 have bought the spraying pump from Mr. Orr. I will give you a statement of the different kinds of fruit to the best of my opinion : Fruit that was sprayed (clean and good fruit) : Per cent. Snow Apples 96 Northern Spy ^ 98 Russets .' 98 Fruit not sprayed with scabs on : Per cent. Snow Apples 90 Northern Spy 86 Russets , 70 This is as good results as I can give yoii. Hoping this will be satisfactory to y(>u." Mr. 'R. E. Harrison, Milton : — " I think the practical instruction in spraying is very beneficial and should be continued. In my orchard the spraying for the scab or spot on the apple was a complete success, as the fruit on the sprayed trees was per- fectly clean, while that of the unsprayed was not. The apples were not free from worms as we would like to see them. The spraying was not so successful for this as I had expected, but this may have been partly owing to rain which followed the early spraying, and which to a certain extent washed off the mixture." Mr. Robt. Oraiiufer, Stoney Creek: " I received your letter concerning the spray- ing of apple trees. I think it a very good thing. I have eight acres of orchard, between three and four hundred trees. There was not a large crop of apples around here this year. They sprayed twenty trees and I had more apples off those twenty trees than on all the others put together. Mr. W. Orr sprayed one Snow apple tree and there was a very great difference. They were nice and bright, and no scab on them. The ones that were not sprayed were all knots and scabs. ' Mr. B. Vanaickle, Lynden : " Yours of the 22nd inst. to hand. In reply will say that from the spraying of a part of my orchard there is a great difference of the sprayed and imsprayed, especially Snow apples ; I put the difference at 80 per cent. The Spy apples, about 50 per cent better than the unsprayed. I think they were not sprayed soon enough, for the fungus had appeurnl before the last spraying The Golden Pippin had a good show of blossom but had no fruit ; was sprayed. The Cabeshea apple had a good show of blossom and no fruit ; was sprayed The Raml)o apple had a good snow of blossom and no fruit ; was sprayed. I believe in the spraying of all fruit trees, and to have good sound fruit it will be necessai-y to continue the spraying." Mr, Wr H, LevA*-. finrfoi'd; " Your ooiuniunication of Nov. 3rd in regard to sprayihg to hand, and would say in reply that I am much pleased with the results of spraying in our orchard this year.
