ASPARAGUS RUST.
Sulphur Treatment Has Proved Sue
cessfuI In California.


cessfuI In California.
For a number of years n serious dis
ease, kind of rust, has been spread
Ing throughout the asparagus growing
districts, which appears to be reduc-
ing production to Il marked extent
and in some places has destroyed plan
tations to degree
The rust does not appear on the as
paragus cut for canning or for market,
and the crop is only injured Indirectly
through the weakened condition of the
roots and crowns.
How Sulphur LIS Used.
r. A. Smith of the California sta
tion has for u number of years been
carrying on experiments to test vari-
Gus means for the control of this dis
ease, and he reports success with the
use OF dry sulphur thoroughly busted
over the plants The best form Of
sulphur to be used Is the flowers of
sulphur, which is the finest grade OBJ
tainable. 1t should be thoroughly dust
ed over the plants in advance of the
appearance of the summer stage Of
fle rust and one or two applications
given later d4Iiug the season. TO
make the sulphur more adherent .
spraying with whale oil soap and
water Is recommended 10 preceda the
powder. The sulphur should be ap-
piled at the rate of about $50 pounds
per acre for each application. The cost
of the sulphur and its application was
about Sc per acre for two applications
In California This treatment has
proved very successful in California
Ind Is reported upon favorably by
large grower in South Caroline. II Is
essential to begin the treatment early,
probably within three weeks of the be
ginning qf summer growth, and TO
keep the sulphur showing well upon
the plants throughout the season.
