Tho report and table Is of considerable Interest and Is as follows: Gentlemen: 1 herewith respectfully respectful-ly submit my report for the last sixty days. I find a great deal more spraying, spray-ing, has been done this year than In previous years. T h e parties who have sprayed invariably express their satisfaction with tho results, and aro In many cases trying to persuade their neighbors to spray next year. In one of tho settlements wo find a striking contrast In the fruit of sprayed and unsprayed orchards. But a fow rods, apart aro two orchards of which one has been sprayed, with the result that only 5 por cent of the crop Is damaged by worms, while In tho unsprayed orchard or-chard aro less than 5 per cent of sound i apples and still some people do not bollcvo in spraying. Pear blight con-I con-I tlnucs doing considerable damage to applo and pear trees. The pear trees ' aro suffering much moro than was Indicated In-dicated in tho earlier part of the sea son. Thero arc prospects of a fair crop of large fruit, although but few winter varieties are very plentiful. Fruit growing Is being more generally adopted adopt-ed In tho valley and many young orchards or-chards have been planted the last few years. Tho following is a list of orchards or-chards exceeding two acres: looan No. Planted Acres. 1001.
