The small-capacity outfit, which did splen- did work during the earlier years of orchard growth, should be replaced by a machine of high power and larger capacity in order to cope with the ex- pansion of foliage surface which is yearly increasing and which demands just as speedy attention as did the trees when they were smaller. The machine for the older orchard should possess sulTicient power to permit the operation of three leads of hose—two to be operated from the ground and the third from a tower constructed on the outfit. The rodman in this latter posi- tion can not only easily cover the tops of the trees but he can direct and over- see the work of the other men and in- form them of parts of the trees that have been missed. Spraying from the tower insures the covering of the upper leaf surfaces, an accomplishment which is otherwise practically impos- sible in the case of large trees. Pruning Pruning should also prove of much benefit in reducing this tree-top infec- tion. The cutting away of five or six feet, in the case of long straggling branches from which it is impossible properly to pick fruit, would not only reduce the time and cost of spraying but would also remove that part of the tree which is most easily neglected, and which, when neglected, scatters more scab spores advantageously
