SURGICAL ATTENTION
REQUIRED BY TREES
Cut Away Loosened, Injured
Bark, and Smooth Up Wound in
Wood-White Lead Good.

II tree has been barked or bruised
or injured 80 that the bark is broken,
it should be given surgical attention,
so 1t will heal quickly and disease
kept from the wound With clean
knife cut away the loosened, injured
bark and smooth up the wound in the
wood. II decayed, remove the decay.
1t is wise to disinfect with bordeaux
mixture or corrosive sublimate one
ounce to seven gallons OF water. This
is very poison, so do not let any ami
NAL drink 1t. To keep the insect and
weather out OF the wound fill the cav
ity with grating wax, IL q small
wound, or with a cement IL a large
cavity.
White lead paint is good for cuts or
wounds. Whenever a large limb is re-
moved the stub--which should never
be a stub-should be painted with
white lead.

C0NT0L LEAF CURL
AND SAN JOSE SCALE
Lime-SuIphur Spray Is Recon-,
mended for Work in Spring.
Kill Fungus Spores.

According to observations made by
the New Jersey station, peach leaf
curl can readily be controlled by
thorough application OF concentrated
lime-sulphur before the buds swell in
the spring. Bordeaux mixture, applied
early in the spring before the buds
start, also will control leaf-curl, hut
the lime-and-sulphur mixture is advis.
able because it will control San Jose
scale as well.
In using lime-sulphur 1t is essential
} use solution that has been proper.
~ prepared and diluted with water to
a strength of not less than l .O3 specific
gravity. The spray material should
then be thoroughly applied so that ev-
cry bud and small twig receives it's
coating.
Any portion of the tree that is not
covered with the spray material is
likely to become infected. The OBJ
Ject OF the early spring application
is to kill the spores of the leaf-curl
fungus before they terminate. In 9th
er words, spraying for leaf-curl must
be preventive as no cure is possible
after the disease is established.

REMOVING BORDEAUX
MIXTURE FROM FRUIT
Dilute Solution of ACetic Acid
viii Do the Business With
out Any Injury.

When fruits, such as apples, peaches
or plums become smeared with bor-
deaux mixture 1t is often difficult to
remove the stains without also injur-
ing the fruits. But this need not be
the case. Bordeaux mixture being
composed of lime and copper sulphate
can be readily dissolved in acetic acid
not pure acid because this might
injure the fruit, dilute solution will
do the business just as well, though
not quite so quickly, but there would
be no injury to the fruit.
All that is necessary is to dip the
fruit into the liquid, let 1t stay a few
seconds, raising and lowering the re-
ceptacle several times to get rid of
bubbles, then to place 1t in a vat or
a spray of clean water. This will
wash away all the bordeaux stains be-
cause the lime and the copper sui
plate will have been chemically
changed to the much more soluble
acetates. Drying is all that remains
to be done before packing.

the bark of either the trunk or the
twigs. They are all injurious to
greater or less extent, though the
property owner may not be aware Of
the danger.
There may be several new kinds
which, If not found out and identified,
might prove to be very injurious. The
circular scale on the trunk and
branches of your red naples may be
the common maple scale; IL may,
however, prove to be a scale new to
science. The white scale found on
your elms, may be the common elm
scale, but it might be one which, IL
not discovered and controlled, may
become as dangerous as the San Jose
scale.
Satisfy yourself as to the kinds of
scales that attack your shrubs and
trees, by sending material suspected
OF being infested by scales to the ag-
ricultural experiment station, Column
bia, Mo, which will be glad to tell you
what scale is doing the damage and
what spray or other remedial or con-
troll measures should be used.

Scale insects annually cost the farm

city property owners thousands of dol

known example of scales is the San
Jose scale, which attacks over hun

PROPER PRUNING OF
BLACKBERRY BUSHES
Very important Factor if Choice
Fruit Is Expected-Pinch
Off the Shoots.

The proper pruning of the black
berry is very important If choice fruit
is expected. Very few ever go any
further in pruning blackberries than
to cut out the dead canes. The prop
er pruning of it consists Of four dis
tinct operations. First, remove some
of the superhuous shoots, in order that
there may not be too many canes to
a hill. Second, during the summer the
buds of the remaining shoots should
be nipped back in order to induce a
stocky growth of the laterals. Third,
the laterals should be headed back the
following spring. Fourth, all old canes
should be cut out after they have pro-
duced one crop of berries.
AS a general rule, from three to six
shoots to the hill is sufficient, accord
ing to the variety and fertility of the
land. The shoots which are to be re-
moved should be cut out as soon as
they have started growth, so that all
OF the food may go into those shoots
to be left to produce canes. AS soon
as the plants reach a height of "a to
2S inches, they should be nipped back
by pinching off the tip OF the shoot
or bud. This can be done with the
fingers or with a small pair of prun.
ing shears. 1t is very important that
the shoots be pinched off as soon as
they reach the proper height, rather
than let them grow to greater height
and then cut back. A longer cane is
inclined to bend over to the ground
unless some support is given.
