PASSENGERS ARE
SAVED, THE MOST
STRENUOUS WORK
Superhuman Efforts of Sailors
And Lifesavers Prevent
Awful Disaster

Hugh Town, Scilly Islands, June "a.
The saving of the passengers of the
wrecked Belgian steamer Gothland
was effected through almost superhu-
man efforts on the part of the off,
GERS and crew of the steamer and by
the life savers who came to the rescue
when she went ashore on the Scrim
rocks yesterday.
Members of the life saving crew
from st. Mary's described the scene
as awful when one of the Gothland' 8
small boats crammed with passengers
and seamen broke away from the dav-
it's mad fell 80 feet into the sea. The
bottom of the boat was smashed when
1t struck the waves and all those In
1t were dashed to the water. Most of
them were women and children.
A quartermaster of the Gothland
sprang from the steamers deck and
succeeded in saving three of the wo-
men.
Several of the life saving crew Jump
ed into the water also and handed
drowning children to their companions
in the rescue boat until all had been
saved
Eventually all were put safely
ashore.
The crew OF the GothIand, which was
on the voyage from Montreal to Rot
terdam, again went on board today
to jettison some. of her cargo of grain
in the hope of tightening her sufficient
~ to enable her to be re-floated.

been sprayed the first time with s-s-oo
bordeaux mixture and arsenate OF lead.
For the two later applications arsenate
of iesd alone will be used In slightly
larger quantities. An adjoining plot will
be sprayed in exactly the same manner
except that for the first application lime
sulphur 20 per cent stronger than
standard dilution has been substituted
for bordeaux mixture.
An adjoining plot has been left I'M
sprayed, another sprayed exclusively
with bordeaux mixture and arsenate OF
lead combined, and still another with
standard dilution lime-sulphur and ar
senate of lead. These three are designed
to serve as standards or check plots
with which to make comparisons as 10
the effect of the various sprays on the
foliage and fruit and in the control OF
scab and other diseases. In this connec-
ton 1t may be stated that neither the
pathologist nor any other MEMBER Ok
the Station Stan has ever observed any
Ill effects of arsenste of lead on apple
trees when applied as ordinarily used
and recommended.
The work of the two previous seasons
seemed to indicate that lime-sulphur
20 per cent. stronger than standard dilu-
ton might be used through the season
on Ben Davis apple trees with little or
no danger of burning the foliage. and the
greater efficiency in seab control more
than offsets the added cost of spray ma
terial. This is being tried again the pres
ent season. A new thing this year Is TO
spray a plot with mixture of very fine
ly divided sulphur in vater-the sulphur
being readily held in suspension in the
water after FIRST wetting IL with dilute
glue solution. Still another new spray
is a standard lime-sulphur to which a
small amount of copper sulphate mas
been added. This spray has given excel
lent results in Virginia in controlling ap-
pie rust hence Il is hoped that 1t VIII
prove efficient as a preventive of apple
scab in Maine.
The first application on one plot TO De
sprayed with 1ime-sulphur has been
omitted. This is done in order to secure
more data on the Importance of this ap-
plication Last Ssyear two proprietary
sprays were used in the series of expert
ments conducted and the results obtained
were published in Bulletin 22s. This sea-

Orono, Me-, June A.-(SpeciaD.-The
plant pathologist of the Maine Agricui-
tural Experiment station IL carrying on
at Highmoor Farm the fifth of series
of apple spraying experiments. the object
in view being to improve methods and
mixtures in order to secure more efficient
control of apple scab and other orchard
diseases without adding TO the expense
involved. Some very important and
suggestive practical results have already
been obtained. particularly during the
past two years. Using the experience
thus gained as a basis q series Of expert
ments have been begun this year which
will doubtless result in securing some
valuable data upon the effects of certain
new sprays and combinations of sprays,
provided weather conditions during the
summer are favorable to the development
of apple scab.
One of the most striking results and to
a certain extent an unexpected result OF
the past two seasons was the discovery
OF the relatively high efficiency of ar
senate of lead as a fungicide when APP
piled slightly in excess of the amount
commonly used an an insecticide. AS
yet an opportunity has not presented it,
self where It has been possible to test
the effect of arsenste of lead alone un-
der exceptionally severe conditions.
Hence a plot sprayed with this without
the addition of any other fungicide has
been included this season and will be re-
peated each year till a season occurs
where the weather conditions are excep-
tionally favorable to seab development.
The discovery OF the apparently high
efficiency of arsenate of lead as a fungi
eide has suggested certain very inter-
esting and promising possibilities along
the line of cheapening the cost and in
crea sing efficiency in spraying for apple
scab. In most seasons the pink spray
or the application of the fungicide before
the blossoms open, when the buds are
Just beginning to show color, is the most
important from the standpoint of scab
control Bordeaux mixture is probably
the most efficient fungicide now in use.
1t can be used with comparative safety
on apple trees when the leaves are small
but later in the season is very likely to
produce severe injury, often amounting
to partial tlefoliation In the case of sus-
eeptibIe varieties Therefore plot has
