Unfor- tunately, on testing it out in suspension in water this product did not remain in suspension in water for such length of time as would enable it to compare on equal terms with other long tested rec- ognized brands. While the price was very attractive, we do not dare use it in our own work or recommend it to others. Under present conditions of labor the cost of application is a very important element to consider and we should use such insecticides as are most likely to give satisfactory success. There is not at the present time a sufRcient amount of spraying machin- ery in use in Southern Idaho to cover all of the orchards in a suitable manner in good time. Failure means defective fruit, largely increasing the cost of grading besides changing commercial grades into cull apples. Our experience leads me to suggest early preparation of suitable machinery and contracting for spray material. I also wish to caution fruit growers against the work of field mice, which are .just now quite destructive in some orchards. Clover or weeds about the trunk of the tree act as a screen pro- tecting the mouse from owls and hawks. One party near Meridian has already had two hundred trees girdled. We find it necessary to rake and pull grass or weeds away from the trunk of the tree, â that the mouse may not find shelter, and where this precautimi lias been taken the mouse is not likely lo girdle the tree unless a considerable amount of snow comes to hide llie imnise from his enemies.
