about one-half the cost of Bordeaux
mixture. For these reasons it is prob
able that lime-sulphur solution will
very generally be used in place of Bor.
deaux mixture, except for the grape.
The best of the commercial mixtures
are guaranteed to contain e5 per cent
of sulphur in solution and for the first
two applications can be used on apples
and pears at the rate of one and one
half gallons in fifty gallons. For the
later spraying one to one and one.
fourth gallons will be safer. Upon
cherries and European plums not more
than one to one and one-fourth gallons
in fifty gallons should be used at any
time and on peaches and Japanese
plums some injury is likely to be done
even at the rate of two quarts in fifty
gallons.
The lime.sulphur solution, used as
above, is effectual as fungicide upon
the different orchard fruits and straw
berries. While a stronger solution
one to ten, or even one to eight if
badly infested-should be used for the
San Jose scale, either in the fall or in
the spring just before the buds open,
the diluted solutions will destroy many
of the larvae if used while they are
crawling about in July and August.
For biting insects, such as canker
worms, tent caterpillars, codling moths.
curculio and slugs, an arsenical should
be added to the lime. sulphur solution.
For this purpose arsenate of lead is
best, as it is adhesive and will not harm
the foliage. Use two pounds in fifty
gallons of lime.sulphur solution, or a
little more if insects are very numerous
or about full grown.
Unsprayed orchards produce but
little fruit and that is of practically
no value; if properly sprayed its value
will be vastly increased, and if this is
combined with proper care along other
lines it would often bring $500 to $500
an acre.
