Spraying for Plant Diseases
Bordeaux Mixture Used Most--How to Make
By Professor w. II. Chandler, College
Of Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.
Missouri.


by fungi or bacteria. These are small
plants that do not contain the green
substance seen in the leaves of other
plants, and therefore cannot manufac-
ture plant food from water and the
material absorbed from the air, but
must live upon some other living or
dead thing.
The diseases caused by fungi, we
are often able to control by spraying.
The fungus gets start in any par
ticular place in plant by the ger
mination of small body known as
spore. Certain substances are poison
GUS to the young fungus when it first
starts to grow, and if we have the
leaves, fruit or twigs coated with such
a substance when the spore germl-
mates (starts to grow it will be killed.
A great many fungous diseases, es-
pecially those we are generally trou-
hled with in the orchards, are killed
by a very weak solution Of some cop
per compound OF course, this copper
may be injurious to the leaves, fruit,
or twigs, in a weak enough form to
do no harm and yet strong enough to
kill the tender terminating fungus.
The same is true of the other mater
ials that we use in spraying to fight
fungus diseases.
The most important spray material
used by orchardites is the Bordeaux
Mixture" 1t may also be used for dis
re- nrnhGTN
trees.
Bordeaux mixture is prepared by
mixing a solution of sNlphate OF cop
per (blue vitrioD with solution OF
lime. The substance from this mixing
IS practically insoluble, but if it
spreads upon the leaves, enough OF 1t
will become soluble to kaep in any
film of moisture over the leaves
enough copper to prevent the germl'
mating of the fungus.
The strength OF Bordeaux mixture Is
generally given in terms of fifty gal
Ions. Thus Bordeaux mixture 4:4:oo
means that we have four pounds OF
sulphate of copper, four pounds OF lime
and fifty gallons OF water; or BOT
GeauX mixture 1880 means that we
have two pounds of sulphate of cop
Der three pounds of lime and fifty gal
Ions of water
In making any quantity of this mix
ture, it is best to have stock solu'
ton of each of the substances, thus
with the sulphate of copper we may
have a fifty gallon barrel nearly filed
with water. At the top of-this water,
we hang a gunny sack, or some other
porous receptacle, containing fifty
pounds of copper sulphate. This hang
ing at the top Of the liquid is done TO
make the sulphate of copper dissolve
more rapidly. If it were poured into
barrel and permitted to go to the
bottom, it would probably be many
weeks before it would dissolve. This
disolving may, OF course, be fastened
by using warm water. We should then
have at the other end Of the mixing
plant another fifty gallon barrel into
which we will put fifty pounds OF lime
This lime should, of course, pe
weighed before it is slaked, then
slaked and strained into the bar
rel and the barrel filled up with water
and stirred. We should then nave
two other barrels between these two
for diluting these stock solutions.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-05-02

100 gallons of Bordeaux mixture
4:4:50. We would want eight pounds
of sulphate of copper and eight pounds
Of lime in 100 gallons of water. we
should dip from the barrel containing
the solution of sulphate OF copper,
eight gallons, and put 1t into the dilut'
ing barrel for sulphate Ef copper. we
should then fill that barrel up to fifty
gallons. Then dip from the lime stock
solution barrel, eight gallons, pouring
it into the lime solution barrel ana
filing it up to fifty gallons OF water.
Then we should run the two solutions
together into either mixing tank or
the spray tank. This having the cop
per and lime diluted before they are
run together, is important If we are TO
get spray that will stick well to the
leaves and give us the best results
possible in other ways.
If We want to make Bordeaux mix
ture of the 1880 strength, we should
din four gallons from the stock sui
phate of copper barrel instead OF eight
gallons, and six gallons from the lime
stock barrel instead of eight gallons.
If we are making only fifty gallons
of Bordeaux mixture-4:4:5O, we
would simply have to reduce all OF the
figures one-half. Thus, say we dip
from the stock solution barrel OF sui
phate of copper into sulphate OF cop
ner dilution barrel, four gallons, fill
the barrel up to twenty-five gallons
and the same with the lime, and run
together into our spray tank.
Smaller quantities may be made BY
simply pouring the diluted solutions
together into tub from two buckets.
If we have a large orchard, 1t would
be best that the two dilution tanks
holding slightly more than 100 gallons
each, so that we can make 200 gal
Ions at once.
1t would also be better if we have
two or three stock solution barrels for
sulphate of copper and good ele-
waited shaking box besides the stock
solution barrel for lime. The lime
can then be strained from the shaking
box directly into the stock solution
barrel of lime. In this case, II we
were making 1850 Bordeaux, we
would dip sixteen gallons from each OF
the stock solution barrels and fill each
of the dilution barrels to 100 gallons
before running them together.
1t is very important in spraying =
large orchard that the filling OF the
tanks may be done as quickly as pos
sible. Some large orchardists never
let the sprayer go in from the orchard
to the mixing plant, but have man
with tank to haul the spray mixture
from the plant to the sprayer.
In making Bordeaux mixture 1t IL
very important that we should have
good stone lime, lime that slakes
readily and completely. 1t is often
asked if hydrated lime may be SUR
stituted for stone lime for Bordeaux
mixture. The writer has not used
hydrated lime, but sees no reason why
it would not be as good as stone lime
since on shaking, stone lime forms
hvdrated lime. However, one-fourth
more of the hydrated lime should be
used. Thus, Bordeaux mixture 4:4:0O
with stone lime should read 4:5:50
hydrated lime.

Alfalfa needs a certain kind Of bac-
terra in the soil to give the best re-
suits. These bacteria live on the
roots of the plants, and give of as a
by-product the nitrogen which the
plant needs. This is an example of
cooperation In nature. In soils where
sweet clover has grown, these bac-
terra are usually present. II they are

soil from some field where alfalfa

Situation at North Portland is very
favorable for all classes of livestock
and in two lines advanced prices
were the rule today
While there was rather favorable
showing of hogs in the yards this
morning, buyers took hold of stock
much more readily and this forced
an advance Of dime in the price.
Tops sold in a number of instances at
$6 SIS during the day; this being COM

Today's advance in the price OF
swine at North Portland was made in
the face of a general decline at east
ern and middle west centers. This
fully confirms the reports printed in
the Journal recently to the fact that
hog values here have been out OF
line with those ruling at centers
wherein the Pacific northwest pack
ers purchased a large per cent oi
their requirements.

On the basis of what it is costing
Pacific northwest packers to bring
forward supplies of Missouri river
hogs, local swine should have been
selling at $7.25 recently. as the quail
ity of the home offerings was better
than the out side stock. At South
Omaha today there was a cut of 5 to
10c in the price of hogs This put
tops to 1910. 1t costs $1.10 to bring
hogs from the Missouri river to the
Pacific northwest, therefore the land
ing cost of Nebraska swine here is
1920.
Cattle Market Is Firm.
While prices were practically the
same as yesterday in the cattle di-
vision of the North Portland market
today. the tone is very good A to-
tai OF $50 head was received, COM
pared with but 10 head last Wednes-
day.
All over the country there has been
a very good tone in the cattle trade
recently; owing to the more favorable
demand for meats The improvement
has been more especially noticeable
at eastern centsrs in the cheaper
qualities than in the best stuff, but
locally most of the improvement has
been in selected goods
The market at present is more fa-
vorable for cows and heifers than for
steers. although by no means is the
latter line showing the slightest neg
lect. Speyed heifers sold this morn
ing at $3.50, fully confirming the ad-
vance of yesterday.

FEARED THE WORST.
But Rumor of the Drowning of Pc.
liceman Proves Unfounded.

The finding OF a motor boat unoccupied
and adrift at Fort Washington, Md, yes
terday afternoon caused much concern
among members of the police force last
night. as II was stated by the military
authorities that the boat was believed
to be the property OF a policeman and
1t was feared the owner had been
drowned.
Detective Charles A. Evans, acting
captain. set out TO have the report in
vestigated. When the clock at police
headquarters struck 10 and word was re-
ceived that the owner of the boat had
not appeared at the fort the worst was
feared.
1t was finally found that Policeman
WEIGH of the tenth precinct is owner of
the craft and he was safe in Washing
ton. He explained he had taken the
boat from the river last fall and thought
it was far eiough away from the water
To be safe from the high tides; but it
proves he was mistaken. He arranged
TO go to the fort today and make his
boat secure.
