Black Rot of Grapes.

Frequent complaint is reaching
the Experiment Station regarding a
disease that is attacking the grapes.
Upon investigation this trouble is
usually found to be due to parasitic
fungus known as black rot.
This is by no means new trouble.
as it is very general 10 all of the Sec
tons where the grape is grown.
Black rot first shows itself upon the
berries and leaves. Usually the ber-
ries are most seriously affected and
the disease mantle SITS itself upon the
latter by small. clear cut, brown
spots. These spots gradually enlarge
until ell Of the berries on the stem
are affected. 1t is noticeable fact
that the diseased berries do not shed
but continue to cling to the vine long
after the grape season is past. 1t is
needless to say that this serves as q
means whereby the disease is car
ried over from one season to anoth-
er.
Fortunately for the persons inter-
ested in grape culture this trouble
can be readily kept in control. Where
only few vines are grown the prac.
tice Of bagging the punches in order
to ward off the spores may be used.
The lunches should be covered early
in the season after the blooming sea-
son is over. The ordinary paper
sacks do very well. The principal
point to keep in mind is to pin the
top of the beg securely so that it
will exclude the entrance of the
spores. Ii is also very good plan
to c.ean the vineyard of any old it
ter such as leaves and pruned canes
as soon as convenient.
Spray ing with Bordeaux mixture
is perhaps ore of the most reliable
means of control. Where the trou-
BILE is known to exist the vines shou d
be thorouR hly sprayed in the spring
just as the buds are swelling. This
application should be epested sever
al times during the summer. The
number Of applications will depend
somewhat on the nature of the sea-
son. Ii the season happens to be
dry. fewer number Of applications
will be needed than if the season is
warm and moist.
Bordeaux mixture for this pur-
pose may be prepared as follows:
Dissolve four pounds of copper sui
fate (blue stone) and four pounds of
stone lime separately in twenty-five
galons of water. Then pour the
two together into fifty gallon bar
rel and stir thoroughly. The best
way to dissolve the copper sulfate il
to suspend it in cloth bag in water
over night. Care should be taken
not to let it come in contact with any
metal. Pumps should be brass lined
where Bordeaux is to be used.
