G PEAKING of Andy, Mr.. Ryan's
~ encouragement regarding the eX-
Red and White-Sox veteran, now
playing with Rochester, arises from
the tone of Mr.. McConnell's last let
ter to the Atlanta club.
HE still was saying he didn't quite
want to play ball in the South" Mr..
Ryan said, but he wasn't anything
like as positive as he was in his first
letter. At that time he was sure he
wouldn't like to move from his home
in Utica; he had a large family of
small children: was afraid of the eli
mate, and all that.
I'm his last letter Andy just says
ne feels tied to Utica on account of
having money invested there in prop
erty he wants to look after. That
doesn't sound nearly as negative as
his first letter"
And so the Cracker management is
feeling more hopeful of getting the
desirable veteran and crack lead loft
man to work around the keystone.

METHODS OF SPRAYING TREES
Maine Experimental Station Finds
Combination Which May Be Used
With Perfect Safety.

In response to g.merous requests
for information on the subject of pre-
pairing and use of lime-sulLlur in or
chard spraying. TIM Maine agricul-
tural experiment station has issued a
bulletin which goes into the matter
quite fully. IT says IN part:
During the past fcw years there has
been a marked chan Se in the methods
of spraying apple trees. the most i'm
portant being a qu;.e general substi-
tuition of lime-sulphur for bordeaux
mixture as q frngicde. There is prob
ably no better material than bordeaux
mixture in use today for the control
OF apple scab. but unfortunately it 10

age TO both foliage and fruit IL the

cular gives q list of large number
OF varieties of apples with the relative
resistance OF each to this spray. II Is
not recommended that orchardists
who have been using bordeaux mix
ture successfully on resistant varieties
change TO lime-sulphur. On the other
hand, those who have experienced any
difficulty with ii, or who are growing

this spray, or who are uncertain
whether or not bordeaux mixture may
be safely used on the varieties they
have, are strongly acvised to use lime
sulphur. This station has found that
this latter in combination with arsen-
ate of lead may be used with perfect
safety on the Ben Davis and Baldwin
apple trees. while bordeaux mixture
applied at the same time and in the
same manner resulted In injury to foli-
age or fruit or both.
For the small grower or the man
with but few trees it is doubtless
more satisfactory to purchase one of
the standard brands of commercial
lime sulphur concentrates, but for one
with an orchard of any size it is en-
tirely another matte. He should pur-
chase the raw materials and prepare
the concentrate at home. The circu-
lar in question gives detailed instruc-
tions how to prepare home-cooked
limesulphur. how to test this with
the hydrometer to determine its dens-
ity and gives tables for dilution Of diff
ferent densities for dormant sprays
and for summer spraying. This latter
information is also valuable to the
man who purchases one of the COM
mercial brands of lime-sulphur. The
density OF this also should be deter
mined in the same manner and diluted
according to the tables.
