too few are taking the precautious

Careful pruning, good cultivation,
systematic thinning, and the best
methods for picking, packing and
hauling are all necessary for the pro-
duction of number one fruit, but
spraying to control plant diseases and
Insect enemies is most necessary of
all.
Te be efective spraying should be
done with materials that will cn-i-trol
