TIONS. That a llvoly interest is being tak

in Pennsylvania is shown by tho
largo attendance at tho public spray
ing demonstrations now In progress

ment of Agriculture. Several of
theso meetings aro held in each coun
ty, so that all who desire may con
veniently attend and see the demon
strator spray the trees for codling
moth, curcullo, and other chewing
insects and fungous diseases now
infesting, or likely to develop upon
tho trees later. It is believed that
as soon as fruit tree owners realizo
the possibility of reducing the num
ber of culls, or unsound fruit, grown
In their orchard to from 10 per cent,
to 2 per cent., the method shown
and recommended at these demon
