Fur SPRAYING OF TREES.
Experiment Station Recommends
Bordeaux Powder.


Z Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, June 70 1903,
The spraying of fruit trees, vines and
crops for fungous diseases and insect
el en.ics has become necessity amt ng
commercial fruit growers. Perhaps the
most successful mixture that has ever
been discovered for the destruction OF
fungous diseases IS liquid or !, u
NJ ure. So valuable is this mixture
that commercial fruit growers owning
very large orchards have gone to greet
expense to spray their trees wi IL
pre- aration. During certain wet SEA.
SOS the liquid spray has not proven
iflicieut Where the orchards are very
.arge aud the land hiily, a, in some sect
lions Of Missouri, the application Of
water becomes an exceedingly expensive
sometimes impossible, operation. This
has led some fruit growers 10 this State
TO endeavor to find n dust powder which
might be- busted upon the trees for the
purpose of destroying fungi.
A Perfect Dry Bordeaux Mixture.
The methods of preparing the dry
or edux Mixture Lave not so far been
,aisiact9ry. The chemical conpo ii o !
OF the resulting powder has not had the
same fungicidal effect as the liquid mix
tur". The Chemist OF the Missouri
Station has for some time been endeayor-
iDgto perfect . method ot preparing the
uy Bordenux Mixtura sosthat the ~
suhing compound would have exactlj
the same desirable chemical CON positiou
rs the liquid preparation. During the
early sprirg so many inquiries we're re-
ceiyed at Columbia upon the subject,
that the Chemist TO the station took up
she matter seriously. With a view to
making powders which would take the
place OF liquid agents The result Of
this Investigation is very fine powder
which contains copper in the same form
that occurs in the properly made liquid
Bordeaux Mixture. Bulletin 80 by X M
Bird has been issved by the Mis- ouri
Station which gives directions for max
ing this powder. This bulletin will be
sent to all orchardists aud fruit growers
in the State who apply for it to thu
Director of the Experiment Station,
Columbia, Missouri.
