the entire plant to wilt and finally die.
This trouble cannot be controlled by
spraying.
In controlling plant diseases, the
secret OF success lies In prevention.
The little seed like spores which cause
these diseases by dropping on the
leaf, stem or fruit OF the plant and
beginning to pierce their way into
the interior OF the plant, must be
stopped by spraying with Bordeaux
Mixture.
Spraying must be given early in the
season. It is advisable to make one
application while plants are in cold
frame. The plants in the field should
be sprayed every two weeks. There
Is no danger of applying too much
spray.
Bordeaux Mixture is made in the
following way; Weigh out III lbs.
of copper sulphate and dissolve In b
gallons OF water in q wooden bucket
or keep. In a separate bucket slack
~ lbs. OF fresh quicl; lime and add
sufficient water to make . gals. Stir
lime mixture through and allow it to
