W. Miller," associate pathologist at Oregon Stkte col lege, by Assistant uounty Agent Robert Ilieder. There may be some IndlvidnalO ' 'i orchards, however, which because f - - j I I - ifS, it is of strain variations are not quite ready to spray. This fact ' will have to be determined by " each grower. Orchards located In the hills will not be ready to spray for several days. Franquette wal nut, orchards located In the hills at elevations ranging from 100 to 800 feet above sea level are usually from three to seven days later than those on the valley floor. The first or early prebloom should be applied when approxi mately 50 per cent or the leaf or pistillate flower-bearing buds on the terminal twigs have broken open but before any appreciable number of the leaf blades have unfolded. The female or pistil late flowers will not be visible at this time. To find the tiny 18 25 8 8 8 84 88 IS 254 81 88 12 80 18 7 22 41 11 2 48 5 83 50 22 88 62 22 40 remaiel flowers.
