The spray calendar which has been help

George c. Butz, state horticulturist, has
just been revised by the Pennsylvania State
College Agricultural Experiment Station
such notifications having been made as re-
cent experimentation warrants. Spraying
to control fungous diseases and insect enc
mics has become fixed practice in the best
orchards and gardens. Farmers and gar
deners are becoming familiar with the ordi-
nary remedies. and need only a simple
guide to direct them properly in making use
Of them. The spray calendar serves excel
lently such guide. In the revision the
principal changes have reference to the
treatment for the San Jose scale The treat
ment so popular on the Pacific coast, and
known as the lime. sulphur and salt" rem

last year, 1t is being employed extensively
among peach growers this spring. The use
OF crude petroleum Is also indicated, and
the remedy for the nurseryman's use is
briefly outlined. This is the hydrocyanic
acid gas treatment for dormant trees by
means of a specially constructed fumiga-
ton house.
Many fruit growers are learning to their
sorrow that they have neglected their fruit
trees too long in this matter of spraying
and are now seeing their orchards declining
because of the permanent injury TO their
trees from the ravages of insects and fun
gous foes. Some ruined by "canker"
some weakened by leaf curl" while scab
and fruit rots have rendered unstable the
crops for which labor and money were ex-
pended.
