Galloway, now assistant Secretary Of Ag-
riculture, IS caused BY a fungus which
gets into the tissues Of the leaf, causing
a circular brown spot. The fungus begins
to attack the leaf soon after the leaves
come outs and attacks ferociously for a
period Of six weeks.
SAVES THE LEAF FROM DESTROYER.
Spraying positively protects the leaf
/ from this infection. The fungus. If
started, does not stop with the leaf, bat
| infects the fruit, making It small and
scabby and frequently liable to crack be-
cause the skin does not get food enough
to grow with the inner fruit
The treatment for leaf spot has been
known for fifteen years. Bordeaux mix
ture was applied years ago to save a pear
orchard on the James River, where leaf
spot was 50 bad that the trees themselves
were about TO die. The treatment was
undertaken in time and this orchard was
saved and had a crop the following wear. |
This year, if the growers had sprayed |
their trees. experts agree, they would 4
have had profitable pear crop.
Now what's going to happen next
year? asked Professor Scott. The foli-
age needs attention. Foliage is not only
the lungs of the living tree. but the fac
tory where the food is manufactured By
the action Of sunlight and moisture.
Wood growth, the first thing desired,
must be followed by buds, and all are
made from the foliage factory. Sowhen
you have not now a good crop of fruit, it
pays to spray. The treatment is simply
Bordeaux mixture. Lime-sulphur solu-
hon would control leaf spot, but when
such a serious outbreak of leaf spot comes
We must resort 10 Bordeaux. Spray with
