Show COST OF SPRAYING PER TREE Difference In Profit on Sprayed and Unsprayed Trees Given Out by Nebraska Station. In an orchard sprayed by the Nebraska Ne-braska experiment station, the total cost of spraying per tree was twenty-four twenty-four cents; the net income per tree from the sprayed trees was $2.35, from unsprayed trees, 81 cents, leaving an income of $1.50 more from the sprayed than from unsprayed trees, or a net income above the cost of spraying of $1.30 more on the sprayed than on the unsprayed trees. In other cases the difference between the profit on sprayed and unsprayed trees has been very much greater than this. The difference, dif-ference, of course, will depend on the prevalence of disease and insects. |
