Show THE FRUITGROWING INTEREST I I I We are glad to note that the State I Board of Horticulture has Issued a special I spe-cial bulletin on the importance of spraying fiult trees It Introduces the subject by calling on the fruit growers to note the necessity of spraying In order or-der to raise sound and marketable fruit and showing that the extermination extermina-tion of the orchard pests is perfectly feasible If the orcharilists will only observe the law and regulations as to spraying and the fruit tree sellers the requirements for disinfection and securing se-curing hen llh trees It is especially timely that the Board should enforce the lesson of the Irrigation Irriga-tion Congress It is appropriate too that the loss of the cup offered as the prixe for the best fruit exhibit there was caused alone by carelessness In regard re-gard to spraying and having none but sound fruit on exhibition should be dwelt upon as a lesson On this point the Board well says The losing by Utah fruit growers of the 500 Clark loving cup In the recent fruit contest before the Irrigation Congress at Ogden Og-den is the most striking lesson over shown the Utah orclmrdlsts of the value amid importance of spraying The cup was easily on by the Utah exhibit so I conceded by all who saw the magnificent I magnif-icent display But the disinclination of some of the large fruit growers to spray was the cause of Utahs downfall down-fall before the congress and the losing of the beautiful silver trophy If this loss and disappointment will but make Utah fruit growers realize that there I is something In spraying the present loss will bo Utahs future gain Good marketable apples and pears and other fruits cannot be grown without thorough spraying and the sooner Utah frultmen come to this understanding the better It will be for all engaged In this important Industry There Is no doubt but that this Is the most pressing question now before the Utah fruitgrowers It Is a question ol immense Importance to the whole State That the orchardisls cannot afford af-ford to go along in the old shiftless ways is conceded by all and AVO earnestly ear-nestly commend to all of them a thorough study of the whole question and a full compliance with the Instructions Instruc-tions issued i by the Board I |
