have witnessed orchard demonstra-
| tioa work in pruning and spraying
this season, and the following has
been prepared Jy the College of Ag-
riculture Extension Work to answer
some OF the more important ques-
tons usually asked at these dem
onstrations;
Making Line-sutphur.
For making up small quantities
Of stock solution, put 10 gallons OF
water into an iron kettle. add s
pounds OF quick lime, and when the
water is boiling with the shaking
lime, add 16 pounds of flowers of
sulphur. Boil from AS TO 60 min
utes, or until the sulphur all goes
into the solution. You now have
stock solution Of lime-sulphur.
Spraying Trees Dormant.
! For spraying san lose scale when
trees are dormant. dilute i gallon
OF the stock solution to 10 gallons
with water. This application also
destroys many of the fungous dis
eases and cleans up the trees gener-
ally.
Spraying for chewing insects and
ufngous diseases:
Dilute is gallons of the stock
solution of iime-sulphur to so gal
Ions with water. Add three pounds
of arsenate of lead, dissolved in wa
ter. The spry is now ready to apply
to the trees when the blossoms have
fallen. Apply the spray material
again three or four weeks later
Trees should be sprayed thoroughly.
and the spraying after the blossoms
fall should be applied so as to fill
the calyx cups, for here is where the
larva of the colding moth enters the
apple. A large apple tree will need
five gallons or more at each applica-
ton. For apple scab, apply the
same spray after the leaves are out,
but before the blossoms open
