Mr. B. F. Galloway, of the United
States department of agriculture, made
a very decisive experiment with fungi

had been abandoned for five years on
account of black rot was taken, pruned
and cleaned up and divided into five
plats, four of which were sprayed and
one not The plats treated gave from
W to 30 per cent. Of perfect bunches.
while the plat not treated gave none.
The Bordeaux mixture gave the best
results, but the carbonate of copper
was nearly as good, and Was essier to
prepare and use and cheaper.
