Farmers bulletin No. 440, just is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture, gives IN account OF ex-
periments made by Professors Scott
and Quaintance IL Georgia and West
Virginia in spraying peaches with SELF
boiled lime-sulphur mixture for the
control Of the brown rot and scab,
with the arSenate OF lead for the cur
culio. AS result in their work in
Georgia an orchard where the un-
sprayed fruit had 63 per cent affected
with the brown rot, 80 per cent af-
fected with scab, and 0712 per cent IN
jured by curculiO, that which had been
sprayed showed only AZ per cent in
5ured by brown rot, Gh per cent in
tured by scab and 712 per cent injured
by curculo, or practical elimination Of
the injury of the diseases and a control
of over tWO-thirds OF the Injury by the
curculiO. In the orchard Of l.. T.
Miller G. Bros. at OkOnOkO, w. Va,
experiments were made on Elberta.
6alway and Bilyeu peaches. Two
sprayings with self-boiled lime-sulphur,
Win arSenate or LEAD dQQeQ 10 lnS
first spraying, reduced the amount Of
dnjury TO fruit by scab, SO that In
stead Of practically all being scabby
as on the unsprayed trees only 20 per
cent was affected and only l per cent
was badly affected. The same spray
ang reduced the rot In the Salway
variety from 81 per cent to about 2
per cent.
The results Of several years ex-
perimcnts reported In this bulletin
show that these serious enemies Of
profitable peach growing may be prac-
tically controlled by two or three
sprayings. Every peach grower who
has not received the bulletin should
at once write to his congressman or
TO the department Of agriculture,
Washington, D. c., for a copy, as il Is
sent free to all applicants. The bull
letin gives full directions for making
and applying the self-boied lime

but space does not permit their quota
