(Experimental Farm Notes) i Unless many kinds of both useful' and ornamental plants-are protected from injurious insecls abd fungus diseases by spraying, the loss in fruit and vegetable crops may be very great, aud, in the case of orna-| meytal plants which would other«| wise have attractive foliage and bloom, they may be rendered very unsightly. The spraying of fruit trees should begin just after the buds nave brok- en in the spring and repeated at the times recommended in the spray calenders and pamphlets which are issued by both Federal and Provin- cial Governments and in whichis given information in regard to the treatment of the different kinds of insects and diseases most hkely to to canse damage, The apple scab causes, perhaps, more loss than any other plant dis- ease in Canada, yet this can be con- trolled and clean fruit obtained, by thorough spraying with either Bor- ; : : kept well under contro} also by the spray which bas been found best for each.
