SPRAYING
PEACHES
FOR BROWN ROT, SCAB
AND CURCULI0
BY E. Dwight Sanderson,
Dean College of Agriculture.
West Virginia University.

Farmers bulletin No. 440. just Is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture, gives an account Oh ex-
periments made by Professors Scott
and Quaintance in Georgia and west
Virginia in spraying peaches with SELL
boiled lime-sulphur mixture for the
control of the brown rot and scaD,
with the arsenate of lead for the cur
culio. AS a result in their work IN
Georgia an orchard where the I'M
SPRAYED fruit had GO per cent affected
with the brown rot, SO per cent al
fected with seab, and 97h per cent IN
jured by curculio, that which had been
sprayed showed only Az per cent IN
jured by brown rot, 61A per cent IN
jured by scab and 2715 per cent injured
by eurculio, 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.. Z
Miller & Bros. at Okonoko, w. va,
experiments were made on liberia
Salway and Bilyeu peaches. Two
sprayings with self-boiled lime-suiphur'
with arsenate of lead added to the
first spraying, reduced the amount OF
injury to fruit by scab, so that In
stead of practically all being scabDy
as on the unsprayed trees only 20 per
cent was affected and only per cent
was badly affected. The same spray
ing reduced the rot in the Salway
variety from 81 per cent to about Z
per cent.
The results OF several years ex-
periments 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 VINO
has not received the bulletin should
at once write to his congressman OF
to the department OF agriculture,
Washington, d. c., for a copy, as II is
sent free to all applicants. The bull
Ietin gives full directions for making
and applying the self-boiled lime
sulphur. which are exceedingly simple,
