THE HOME ORCHARD At this time of the year spraying will be the most important work in the orchard if good clean fruit is to be produced. It is often said by the commerical orchardist that he sprays his orchard once to control his pests and the second application to control infection from neighbouring areas which are not sprayed. This would not be the case if every person who planted fruit trees made an effort to control infection. It should be remembered that Fungicides are preventitives and should be applied as such. When disease of trees is established it is often too late to effect a cure, and save the ensuing crop. When spraying be sure to cover the tree or plant thoroughly as a protective covering of spray is essential.
