State plans stricter fruit pest control statewide
The State Department of Agriculture through its Bureau of Plant Industry has perfected fruit pest control plans now in effect. Districts are small enough for inspector supervision of each orchard. A budget of 25600 is allocated for pest control in spring and summer. Beginning February 1 inspectors will assist proper planning and growers must secure spray material early, repair equipment, and arrange own spraying as contract applicators cannot cover all orchards. Insect control focuses on proper material, timing, and thorough application with posters available from inspectors or the bureau. Inspectors will aid orchard operations and enforce horticultural laws to prevent public nuisances and ensure a clean fruit crop for 1920.
