The wonders of photography are

there are still some limitations to the
power and skill of even the most ex-
pert photographer.
Mr.. Hall is an amateur of no mean

Hannah from Bushby came down to

her most characteristic pose-arms

When Aunt Hannah saw the first
print, she looked at 1t, held 1t off,
drew 1t close again, and then sat down
to write her nephew.
"Dear James," wrote the old lady,

my late visit just received. In reply
l would say, I'm well enough pleased
with it for myself and your folks. But
in the one you send out to California
to Emma, I'd rather you'd straighten
out my elbows and let my arms hang.
Affectionately, Aunt Hannah.

my mouth mite more, as Emma's

THE LlME.suLPHuR SPRAY.
Good Preventive for Apple scab and
Less Harmful Than Some.

A. B. Cordley, Entomologist Oregon Experiment
Station, Corvallis.
The serious results in the form Of
Bordeaux Injury" which often follow
applications of Bordeaux mixture rem
der it almost imperative that some
means be found of reducing this injury,
or that some spray be discovered which
may be used as a substitute for Bor-
deaux.
For the past two or three years have
observed, after winter spraying apple
and pear trees with lime-sulphur solu-
tions, for San Jose scale, that the fruit
upon the sprayed trees was less "scab-
by than that upon unsprayed trees.
Upon two different occasions this winter
application was delayed until the BIOS
SONS were about to open and while the
spray, which was applied at the full
strength, did considerable injury at the
time, its decidedly beneficial effects
were noticeable when the fruit was
gathered. However the generally good
results which follow winter applica.
tions OF iime-sulphur are now well
known and this part of the work re-
quires no further comment.
Nevertheless, these observations sug'
gested to me the probability that lime
sui Shur solution might be used as 6
substitute for Bordeaux mixture fol
summer applications and during the
past year l have SO used it upon vari
GUS plants for various purposes.
1t is not proposed at this time to g
at all into detail regarding these ex
Ieriments--I wish only to call atten
tion to some Of the results obtaine'
which show conclusively that lime
sulphur solutions may be used as {
summer spray without injury TO foliag'

ity that by its use apple scab may b.

LII tke-4idrger cities, where begging

would undoubtedly do as we'll, is of a
clear, dark amber color, is without sed-
iInent, and as stated above had a spe-
cifc gravity OF 1.27. Analysis showed
that each gallon contained in solution
2,38 pounds of sulphur.
During the season of 1907 these
''stock solutions" of lime-sulphur were
used variously diluted upon the apple,
pear, peach, plum, prune, ounce,
cherry. grape, potatoes and celery.
The results obtained indicated that
lime-sulphur sprays produced by di-
luting gallon of the stock solution
with is gallons OF water may be safely
used upon all of the above named
plants, with the exception of the peach,
unless it may be early in the spring,
when very slight injury was produced.
For use upon the peach each gallon of
solution should be diluted with at least
20 gallons of water.
For the experiments with apple scab
a block of 400 Yellow Newtown trees
were selected, because this variety is
particularly susceptible to this disease
and because this block was known to
be badly infested.
The entire orchard was sprayed with
Iime-sulphur for San Jose scale late
in February. The orchard was then
divided into two plats. One plat was
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture on
April 20, May s and May IL. The
other plat was sprayed on the same
! dates with lime. sulphur solution d.
luted Lilo. Unsprayed trees we're left
as checks in each plat.
At picking time the fruit was care
fully gathered, examined and separated
into three grades to show per cent Of
fruit absolutely free from scab, slightly
, scabby and badly scabbed. 1t was
then regarded to show per cent of fruit
injured by spray.
The summing of results is shown
graphically in the following table
Column marked A shows per cent oi
fruit free from scab; b, that showing
only small scab spots; O, that badly
scabbed and unmarketable; D shows
