FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK.

Experiments Prove That It Pays to Spray
 Pll2Ins for Rot.
 Horticulturist German, of the Ken lucky experiment. station, says in recent bulletin:
 On the Kentucky experiment station grounds several plum trees have al- ways been badly affected with brown rot, which is 9 fungus parasite. Last spring it was decided to treat one of these with Bordeaux mixture. leaving another standing beside it as check. The former was sprayed on June 9 with Bordeaux mixture, about 275 gal Ions being applied to the leaves and young fruit with knapsack sprayer. On July the tree was sprayed again, about the same quantity of the mix ture being applied
 The season was unfavorable for fruit of all sorts, and neither the sprayed nor the check tree bore as full crops of fruit as usual. Some rotting fruit was observed at the time of picking on both trees and a good many plums routed and fell from both during the summer.
 On August 22 the plums were picked, and from the sprayed tree were re- moved 477 plums, weighing HE pounds; the unsprayed check tree yielded 254 plums, weighing six pounds The difference in favor of spraying is thus about 51l pounds in weight of fruit. Or we may say the spraying increased the yield about AS per cent. The mixture was made of P gallons of water, 6H pounds blue stone, 319 pounds fresh lime. The bluestone is dissolved in or gallons of hot water. Slack the lime and make of it a paste about as thick as cream. Stir the latter into the blue stone solution and finally turn the whole into the remaining water.
