FRUIT TREE CARE

The enemies of fruit trees are numerous, but tar- oil spraying (best done in January) can still be carried out this month. Later on, of course, lime sulphur should be sprayed at pink-bud and petal fall. Sawfly treatment is BHC at three ounces to the gallon of water and DDT can be used for codlin moth.
