What that means mainly to the practi cal orchardlst is not so much Joy In the return of vernal growth as realization that the spraying son son is almost upon him again. He knows that if he does not spray often and plenty (mm February to late August he will harvest If he harvests at nil wormy and diseased apples. - It is hard for the oldster who knew Oregon when there was no Kiich tiling as a worm in an ap ple to realize that nowadays no apples worthy of the name can be raised except bv fallowing a rigid spraying program through the J growing season. It is true never theless. The best alternative to fighting the pests Is to cut down the orchard trees and burn them. They will produce nolhing worth while without man-made help and protection. To the tyro in apple growing a first look at a spray program for I he season Is a fearsome thing. The ever helpful extension serv ice of the stale college calls, In its apple-spray bulletin, for leu appli cations at ten different limes of various mixtures and concoctions aimed to kill or discourage a va riety of im'sIs. One must spray when the buds are dormant, again when they show green, when they are pink, when three fourths of the petals have fallen. From the time when the baby apples form until they reach ma turity on the trees six cover sprays must be applied to insure sound fruit. Materials range from Bordeaux through lime sulphur,; writable sulphur, lead arsenate,' to nicotine sulphate and oil ehiul slon. The whole program Is the result of cxiorlment and demon smiled results. It Ik formidable and lis execution is Irksome, but It is the only route to sound ap ples. Oregon pioneers of the devel opment era planted their apple fives and let them grow. After a few years they started harvesting apples mid none were better. There wasn't a bug In a barrel ful. Gradually an immigration of Insect iH-sts followed on the im migration of humans. The In sects multiplied faster than the humans did, both in number of species and numbers within the species.
