rainfall is slight bordeaux mixture
does little or no harm to the fruit.
In all cases arsenate of lead has
been added as an insecticide to the
various so-called fungicidal sprays at
the rate of one POUND of dry powder to
so gallons of water. This has proved
efficient in the control of chewing in
sects. But one of the unexpected re-
suits obtained was the value possessed
by this chemical as fungicide.
system of spraying became somewhat
modified. A strong fungicide combined
with a small amount of arsenate of
lead was applied where the buds were
showing pink. For all other applica-
tons the latter chemical was entirely
depended upon for the control of bath
scale and insects. Two pounds Of pow
der were used with so gallons OF wa

the crop was very free from scab.
Self-boiled lime-sulphur was used
1t proved to be too weak to control
the apple scab, but it may be applied
to the peach-and plum without injury
to the tenderest foliage.
Copper-lime-sulphur proved effective
in spraying apple trees fer rust. In
some cases the margins of the leaves
showed darker green than the nor
NAL leaves, but in no instance was
there any evidence Of burning.
A suspension of flowers Of sulphur
in water at the rate of ten pounds tC
so gallons was used for apple rust or
certain trees. 1t proved fairly effec
tive. reducing the percentage of scabby
apples from II to 8. There seem:
nothing gained by using the sulphur In
suspension. The dry powder applied
with a busting machine has decided
advantage both in effectiveness as {
fungicide and in facility Of appllca

Valuable experiments in apple spray
Ing extending over the last six years
have recently been concluded at the
Highmoor orchards, Maine.
The orchards at Highmoor original
ly consisted of 500 trees which were
planted about 80 years ago. During
the period of existence it had been in
the hands of several owners and up to
six years ago had received very indif-
ferent treatment. For "a years appar-
emily the trees had been neither
sprayed nor pruned. The apples had
been picked, and the grass which COW
cred the ground cut. but nothing else
was done.
BY the fall of 1909 the number Of
trees had been increased to over 1000
most of which were of the Ben Davis
variety. Baldwins came next fol-
lowed by limited number of other
varieties.
The experimental spraying work was
carried on in what was known as the
Ben Davis orchard No. 2. The trees
were well headed but owing to lack of
pruning were but tangled mat of
limbs. The trunks were about seven
inches in diameter.
The primary object of the expert
ments centered around the efficient
and economical control of apple scab,
with a minimum amount of injury to
the fruit and foliage. This involved
the nature Of the spray used, as well
as the time, number and manner Of the
applications.
Certain sprays, including bordeaux
mixture, proved very efficient in con-
trolling .scab, If applied at the proper
time. This avails but little II, as some
times has been the case, the action of
the spray results in the removal OF
from half to two-thirds of the foliage
from the tree. Also bordeaux mixture
when used on the Ben Davis, although
it has given excellent scab control, has
rendered large part of the fruit, in

Another hearty salad Is prepared
with boiled rice seasoned with finely

parts of celery and little chopped
onion. Serve with good boiled

Very ripe ounces peeled and sliced.
seasoned with minced chives and
served with French dressing are also
a welcome variety. Bananas are near

with nuts.
Apples with celery and nuts is an
other well-liked combination as well
as sliced apple and shredded green
pepper with nuts, served with may
onnaise dressing.

tables one day you have ample for

LARGEST IIIy Pond

Near the city of Washington, says
