Tho fruit growor nowadays must bo
up-to-dato and adopt modern ways
and equipment. Light ladders should
bo used, convenient to carry and
compact, so that thoy can bo easily
placed between tho limbs instead of
against tho trco. They should bo so
strong tbnt thoy will last. Avoid
ladders that lean tip against the tree,
bccauBo they not only break the
limbs, but tho bark, and wherovor
tho limb or bark of a treo Is broken

tho many diseases now prevalent will
