The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1890.

Our Horticultural Society Las done good work by drawing up a manual for moths in which the best means of exterminating insects which rob the potnologist of tho fruits of Ins toil are clearly indicated. But wo question whether in nine gardens out of ten a proprietor will be disposed to spray a virulent person like Paris green periodically over his trees and incidentally over his early summer vegetables and his currant bushes, He might, perhaps, distribute it lavishly if ho had a mother-in law partial to fruit, or if he could get his creditors to attend a garden party on his premises. The best suggestion in the report is the idea thrown out of some practical gardener making a speciality of spraying and contracting to clcau fruit trees at a fixed rate per tree, Spraying poisons is expert work and could be more economically and efficiently done by 6ome intelligent person, who had made a particular study of the art of catohing the oodiin, scarifying the scale and annihilating the American blight. We think the Horticultural Society might'push this idea a little further and select a suitable man as district sprayer, set him up with the best appliances impart to him the scientific knowledge of poisons whioh they have accumulated, and let him go amongst the orchards of the distriot and earn the reward of his labor and their enterprise Under such patronage and with such credentials,, we fancy most-of the fruit growers of the district would engage his services, and if the codlin moth did not disappear like scab under Inspector DrummonJ, the fault would not lie with the Horticultural Society,
