SPRAYS FOR APPLE ORCHARD
Ideal Combination for Controlling Va
rious Pests Has Not Yet Been
Put on Market.
CBy w. ]. MORSE.)

In spite of the fact that a large
amount of work has been done both
in this and in other countries, in study
ing the effects of different insecticides
and fungicides upon the trees them
selves and their efficiency in control
ling the various insect and fungous
pests, the ideal spray or combination
of sprays for use on apple orchards
has not yet been discovered. 1t is
true that with the introduction of lime
sulphur some of the previous difficult
ties have been eliminated, but at the
same time there are others of equal
importance which have arisen or
which have not been overcome. This
Is particularly the case under the eli
matte conditions which exist in the
apple growing regions of the north
eastern portion of the United States,
where apple scab frequently appears
in its most virulent form.
While it is granted that lime-sul-
phur, as ordinarily used, has been
found to be less likely to produce
spray injury. many orchardists main
tain that in practical work 1t is less
efficient with them than bordeaux
mixture in controlling apple scab. In
fact, a prominent apple grower re-
Gently told the writer that even with
the most careful and thorough spray
ing with lime-sulphur their fruit the
past season was badly attacked by
scab and that some orchardists were
seriously considering going back to
bordeaux mixture this year. On the
other hand, 1t has been the writer's
experience that with varieties suscep-

The question of the proper fungi
eide to use is by no means the only
important matter involved in efficient
orchard spraying. Insecticides are
necessary and it is both necessary and
convenient to use them in combina-
ton with fungicides. While a fairly
settled policy has been reached as to
the proper time to apply the various
sprays or combinations of sprays to
secure the greatest efficiency there is
still insufficient data with regard to
many points connected with apple cul-
