(By w. H. CHANDLER, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture)
Bordeaux mixture is a fungicide
made by combining a solution of sui
phate of copper (blue vitrioD with a
solution of lime. This resulting sub
stance is not soluble in water, but
very slowly goes to the bottom of the
liquid. It is a flocculent, pasty sub
stance that sticks exceedingly well to
the leaves.
The strength of Bordeaux mixture
Is generally given in terms Of so gal
ions. Thus standard Bordeaux mix
ture 4:4:50 means that there are
four pounds of sulphate of copper,
four pounds of lime and so gallons
Of water. Bordeaux mixture 1850
means that there are two pounds of
sulphate Of copper, three pounds of
lime in 80 gallons Of water
Bordeaux mixture is one of the old
est and best known and most widely
used fungicides It will control more
fungous diseases than any other
known fungicides used for spraying.
Thus it is effective on Apple Scab. Bit
ter Rot, Apple Blotch and practically
all other fungous diseases which may
be controlled by summer spraying.
1t sticks to the foliage better than
any known fungicide, and is probably
slightly less expensive than any other
fungicide of equal effectiveness.
While Bordeaux mixture is a very
effective spray, it is usually fairly
HARMLESS to the fruit and foliage. How
ever, there will likely be slight yell
lowing and browning of the leaves,
due to the injury from the use Of
Bordeaux mixture. Another more Sc
rious injury is observed on the fruit.
The apple may be sometimes coated
with russell, caused by injury to the
skin from Bordeaux mixture. The
two sprayings at which this injury is
to be observed are those just after
the bloom when the apple is still coat
ed with tender, hairy covering. At
this time the skin is very easily in
jured, and If Bordeaux mixture is used
1t is used at strength not greater than
two pounds of blue stone and three
pounds Of lime to fifty gallons of wa
ter.
The first essential for making Bor-
deaux mixture is supply of lime and
sulphate of copper from which it is
made. Before the spraying season
begins, it is certainly desirable that
enough sulphate of copper be pur-
chased to last through the second
spraying after the blooms fall. If the
orchard is in a section where there

has been great danger from frost, it
may be desirable not to order more
than this amount and to place a sec
ond order where it is plain there is
going to a crop. However, the
6rst three sprayings may be given be-
tore We know whether or not there
will be a crop. and it is SO important
that they be given at the right time,
that sufficient sulphate of copper to
give them should always be ordered
during the winter.
The price of sulphate of copper will
vary from five to eight cents. If the
lime can be secured from local deal
ers, of course 1t may be purchased as
needed. The lime used should be
good in quality and of fresh stone. If
1t is impossible to secure this stone
lime. fair grade of Bordeaux mix
ture may be made from hydrated
lime.
