CBy C. C. WOODBURY.
The orchardist has at his command
variety Of materials suited to the
different insects and diseases which
he has to combat. 1t is essential for
results In spraying that the material
used be selected with intelligence AMI
with a definite foreknowledge of the
pest to be controlled. Certain classes
of spray materials are useful for the
fungous diseases and certain others
for the insect pests. Some diseases,
such as peach yellows. and some in
sects, such as borers, cannot be
reached by sprays. With other ln-
fire blight and black knot. spraying
though helpful. Is not sufficient. and
must be supplemented by certain Or
chard practices, such as Earring. thin.
ming the fruit, thorough and syste-
matte pruning, etc, such practices
being based accurately upon a fairly
comprehensive knowledge of the pest
In question.
As matter of fact, however, tho
practical operations of spraying are
reduced to a relatively simple basis.
We have the lime-sulphur washes and
oil sprays for tlds scales. We have
the Bordeaux mixture for fungi and
arsenate of lead for chewing insects.
The Bordeaux and arsenate combine
to form one double-purpose spray
which will accomplish most of our
summer spraying.
Arsenate of lead is undoubtedly the
best form of arsenic for spraying pur-
poses. 1t does not have the tendency
to burn foliage, common to other
arsenicals. For most purposes 1t
should be used at the rate of two or
three pounds for each fifty gallons of
spray.
Arsenate of lead usually comes In
the form of a white paste. This must
be worked up with water slowly till
thin enough to dilute easily. when It
may be mixed with water or Bordeaux
for spraying.
Paris green is used at the rate of
six to eight ounces to each fifty gal
Ions of spray materials. 1t should be
mixed with a small quantity of water
