Twenty-First Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Horticultural Society of Michigan, 1891 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Horticultural Society of Michigan, 1891
Prof. Cook: Had I been talking to the legislature I would have said that, but every horticulturist knows it. Horticulture could not be carried on without the aid of bees. Perhaps we might grow strawberries, but the bees help even there.
Prof. L. R. Taft hoped some such act might pass. Bees do help greatly, even as to strawberries.
A. G. Gulley of Agricultural College: A few years ago, speaking as a fruitgrower, I would not have favored this bill, because we were then very fearful of yellows, which disease bees are believed to disseminate; but peach-growers have no such fear of yellows now, and so have no feeling of opposition. As to spraying for curculio, it must be done early if it is to be of any use at all, perhaps even before the blossoming.
Prof. Cook: In experiments I have never gotten any curculio until after the plum blossoms fell; so it is of no use till then, if indeed it is of any use at all.
