Notice to tho people of Folk county,
who are the ownero of fruit trees, that
now is the time to prune and spray all
trees diseased or infested with San
Jose scale, woolly or green aphis and
other pests. That these trees must be
pruned and well sprayed with lime
sulohur spray. Prof. Cordley says
that this is the best winter spray to
use.as it kills the moss, scale ana otner
Dests. It is necessary to spray young
trees to protect them from the old moss
covered, diseased and Infested trees.
The old orchards must be pruned and
well sprayed or destroyed. All cut
tings must be burned within 30 days
from time of pruning. In case or
failure you are liable to a fine of. $25
with costs. This applies to all rail
road rights-of-way in Polk county.
I recommend the Lime Sulphur
linn id snrav. because you will get
better results. It is easily prepared.
Use one gallon of spray to 14 or lo
gallons of water; no sediment to clog
the spraying nozzle. It can be ob
tained at any or the stores in ine
county. This pruning and spraying
must be done within 45 days from
