BITTER ROT IN ORCHARDS
To Be Controlled, Must Be Fought
 With Bordeaux Mixture.

Bitter rot this year is proving seri- ous in some orchards. It is the one disease of apples which must be fought hard from its first appearance in the orchard if it is to be controlled at all. Even if there is only a tree or two showing the disease steps should be taken at once to spray and to clean out the diseased fruit. It may be worth while to strip the affected tress entirely and take the fruit to the evaporator rather than take any chance on leaving a small infec ton to later become a rotten spot and help to spread the trouble
 Bordeaux Mixture Spray.
 The spray mixture used for bitter Tot is bordeaux mixture at a strength oi l01o-l00 Its application 10 the nuit and twigs and limbs of the trees simply prevents the spread of the disease by preventing the growth of eerminating spores.
 Spraying will not pay where the bitter rot is not first removed from the trees, and if there is so much rot in the orchard that it cannot be re moved without taking all the fruit that portion of the orchard would best be stripped.--J. Lee Hewett Plant Pathologist, Arkansas College Of Agriculture. Fayetteville
