SPRAYING TREES FROM THE ROADWAY.
ing ought to be able to distinguish the
different kinds of enemies found on
the trees in winter. He ought to buy

cents, and carefully study all the para
sites, scabs and fungi he can find.
In battling with mildew. mites.
spiders and moths all infected trees
should be spruned and the dead and
decaying parts removed. All wounds
should be cleaned out and the taking.
scaling bark ought to be scraped away
from the, trunks. Let this work pre-
cede the spraying with lime-sulphur.
All rubbish should be burned at once.
This will expose all the alternating
pests so the spray will reach them
easily. Every part Of the tree ought
to be bathed in the film of spray even
to the tiniest twig The best time for
applying sprays to the pests mentioned
is a short time before the buds show
signs of swelling.
Bordeaux 6-4-50 is the spray used
most in late winter spraying, when the
lime-sulphur is deemed inadequate.
1t is very effective in dealing with an.
thracnose and incipient cases of peach
leaf curl, To be really effective the
spray should be put on at a dry time.

the spraying material and lessen its ef-

The one pest that ought to be fought
hardest by the winter sprayer is the
San Jose scale. Look for the round,
grayish and black, button shaped
bodies with pimple-like elevation in
the center. This elevation is about the
size of a pin head and is often sur
rounded by a red ring. Lime-sulphur
solution properly applied will kill the
San Jose scale at any date between the
falling of thu leaves and the leafing
out in spring
There are three rules that I think
every man should apply in going about
spraying. whether he is doing the work
in winter or in summer. They are:
When you spray, be sure you are do
ing it at the right time.
If you don't know the reason why
you are spraying. don't spray at all.
The only way to know the reasons
for spraying is to study up on ever!
