How Late Can We Spray
With Lime-Sulphur SOlu.
tiOn For Scale

A successful commercial sprayer in
Blair county, Pa, who has for some
years been acting upon the advice OF
State Zoologist II. A. Surface, and
making a business of spraying trees,
lust as owners of threshing machines
make a business of threshing grain,
has Just written to Professor Surface
asking how near may the buds be
out until there is danger of scalding
by the Lime-Sulfur Solution"
The reply, which is important and
practical is based upon experience,
and may prove useful to many read
ers.
II know from observation and eX-
perience that you can safely use 1t
until the pink of the blossoms is
seen, or, in other words, until the
blossoms are ready to expand.
This is true not only of apple, but
also of peach. Last year ! sprayed
my peach trees after one-fourth OF
the blossoms were open, and while |
am not sure that these opening bios
SONS were uninjured, ! do know that.
there was such a heavy crop OF fruit
on the trees that ! had to hire help
to do considerable thinning by hand.
and keep the trees from overbearing.
| am thus satisfied that no injury
came from the application, in which
| used the strong lime-sulfur solu-
ton, made to the hydrometer test of
1.03, which is the strength now gen
orally recommended for scale. Spray
ing with this material, even when in
bloom. will not injure bees because
it contains no arsenical poison, and
the bees will not take up the lime
sulphur liquid.
Doctor Funk sprayed his apple
trees when the round pink balls of
the unopened blossoms were plainly
visible. This was after the leaves
were out. He destroyed the scale,
and did not injure his trees nor the
fruit crop. This | saw, and conse-
quently know that | am safe in Civ
ing this answer to your very import
ant question. Hundreds of persons
this spring will make this same in
quiry, and | shall consequently pub
lish this reply, as soon as possible,
in order to aid others who are need
ing the same kind of help"

How to Prevent Injury by
Spraying Solution
How To Prevent Injury BY Spraying
Solution.

An extensive York county fruit
grower recently wrote to State Zoo
logist H. A. Surface, asking how to
avoid, and how to treat injury to the
hands by coming in contact with
strong spraying solution. This is a
very timely topic, and some persons
will find it quite applicable to their
. own need. The answer of Professor
Surface was as follows:
Replying to your letter concern
ing the injury to the hands of your
men who use the lime-sulfur solu-
tion. | can say that this can be
avoided if you will direct the men to
get cheap gloves of any kind, and
drop them right into melted tallow
or paraffin. l myself use cheap
leather gloves, although l have been
told by those who have used them,
that cloth gloves treated in this way
are likewise made impervious to the
liquid.
The hands should be rubbed with
vaseline, as should also the neck and
face, or exposed parts of the body,
before the men start to spray. They
should also protect themselves by
goggles, such as can be had for ten
cents at almost any notion store.
If the apparatus is in the proper
working order, and proper precau-
tions are taken, they can spray with
out getting the liquid on their hands.
/ have sprayed all day, using a strong
liquid, without injury to my hands.
To do this l wish to be sure, first,
that have good hose, a good wash
cred stop cork, and good extension
rod, and next, that there is a disk
of n1y 1nn 81
about as large as a mans hand,
around this rod toward the top, to
turn away any spray liquid that may
run down from the nozzles. This
is to serve as drip disk, and | like
it better than the tin drip disk,
soldered firmly in place around be-
low the nozzle, as it being pliabIe
permits the operator to use the rod
among the brush without catching
and tearing.
While the lime-sulphur solution
is injurious to ones hands if they
are constantly soaked, it will not
give trouble if the operator will
take but reasonable precautions. 1t
rs strong material, and must nee
essarily be strong in order to do its
work of killing the scale. Where
one has been injured by the mater
ial burning his skin, it is best to
apply some healing ointment or
Yaseline, and bandage the part, so
as to prevent further wearing upon
the place where the skin has been
made thin by the liquid.
You can spray any trees until the
blossoms are opening, but you can
not spray after the blossoms have
expanded, without danger of de-
stroying your fruit crop"

When Raronets Were Bold

1t was In the reign of good King
James that baronets first came into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
a baronet from banker But in the
year 1911, when James l. needed ready
money and created 200 "little barons"
to supply him with cash, they swag-
gered about in their baldrics and SASH
es and behaved in the courtliest of
fashion. Each baronet in order to
justify his title had to maintain
small army of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only increased his revenue but
actually lightened his expenses.
1t Is not generally known that the
title of 'baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One of these was
the mother of Dutch general. The
other was Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way
into the good graces of Charles I. and
received the title from his hands,
London Tit-Bits.
Naturally.
A girl feels fiattered when told she
looks well in anything, but a wife
thinks such a compliment only a plot
to get her to wear old clothes.
