CONT0l LEAF CURL
 AND SAN JOSE SCALE
Lime Sulphur Spray Is Recon. mended for Work in Spring.
 Kill Fungus Spores.

According to observations made by the New Jersey station, peach leai curl can readily be controlled by a 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 but the lime-and-sulphur mixture is advis able because 1t will control San Jose scale as well.
 In using lime-sulphur it is essential to use solution that has been proper ly prepared and diluted with water to a strength of not less than .03 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 ob 1ect of the early spring application is to kill the spores of the leaf-curl fungus before they germinate. In oth CT 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 Will Do the Business With-
 out Any Injury.

When fruits, such as apples, peaches or plums become smeared with bor deaux mixture it 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 fnjure the fruit, a 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 it stay few seconds, raising and lowering the re- ceptacle several times to get rid of bubbles, then to place it in vat or spray of clean water. This will wash away ali the bordeaux stains be- cause the lime and the copper sul phate will have been chemically changed to the much more soluble acetates. Drying is all that remains to be done before packing.

TO STRAlGHTEN YOUNG TREES
Some Plan Should Be Adopted to Sup. port Trees Until They Have De-
 veloped Root System.

Certain varieties of fruit and shade trees are said never to be straight of trunk at the time of being brought from the nursery SO, instead of be- wailing the crookedness of trees, means should be employed for straight ening them.
 But whether trees are crooked or not, some of the plans herewith pre- sented should be employed for the pur' pose of supporting young trees till they have developed a root system that will hold them up straight, says a writer in Successful Farming. Not only does this bracing hold the trees in proper form and position for rapid growth, but where the wind weaves the trees around, they quickly wear large opening, at the point where they enter the ground, so that the action of the sun and wind have a most detri. mental effect on the roots, drying them out and retarding normal development of the trees.

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

If tree has been parked or bruised or injured so that the bark is broken, 1t should be given surgical attention, so 1t will heal quickly and disease kept from the wound. With a clean Knife cut away the loosened, injured bark and smooth up the wound in the wood. If decayed, remove the decay.
 It 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 it. To keep the insect and weather out of the wound fill the cav ity with grating wax, if a small wound, or with a cement if a large cavity.
 White lead paint is good for cuts or wounds. Whenever large limb is re- moved the stub-which should never be a stub-should be painted with white lead.

CONTROL GREEN PEACH APHIS
Insect Attacks Leaves Early In Sea. son-Spray Thoroughly With
 "Black Leaf 4O."

(By c. P. GILLETTE. Colorado Agri-
 cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
 The green aphis, which attacks the peach leaves early in the season. and which sometimes accumulates upon the young peaches in sufficient mum. bers to destroy them, spends the win ter in the egg stage upon the branches Of the trees. The eggs hatch two or three weeks before the blossom buds open. so that the best time to control this insect is after the eggs hatch and before the buds open. This may be done by thoroughly spraying the trees with Black Leaf 40," one part in about seven or eight hundred parts of water, to which a pound of soap has been added for each 30 gallons. Kero, sene emulsion or one of the miscible oils may be used in place of the Black Leaf 40' and be equally as eff. fectual.

they are massed by the thousands on the bark of either the trunk or the twigs. They are all injurious to a 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; it 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, if 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 az. rlcultural experiment station, Colum. bla, Mo-, which will be glad to tell you what scale is doing the damage and what spray or other remedial or con. trol measures should be used.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-05-12

(By A. H. HOLLINGER, Missouri Col
 lege of Agriculture)
 Scale insects annually cost the farm CTS, nurserymen, floriculturists, and city property owners thousands of dol lars. Few trees and shrubs are inn mune from their attack. The best known example of scales is the San Jose scale, which attacks over hun dred kinds of plants, and the oyster shell scale is found on nearly as many trees and shrubs. There are many other injurious kinds. A few of the plants attacked are: Ash, elm, ma pie. dogwood, willow, gum, poplar, oak, sycamore, walnut, boxelder, pine, beech, basswood, hackberry, catalpa, locust, buckeye, all fruit trees and many shrubs.
 Scales are about as varied in char. acter as the plants they attack. Some are circular, others resemble very small oyster shells. some are gray or black in color and others are white or reddish, but all are very small, be- ing about the size of pinhead. Some times they occur isolated on the twigs, branches, or leaves, but frequently

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 CT pruning of it consists of four dis tinct operations. First, remove some of the superfluous shoots, in order that there may not be too many canes to @ hill Second, during the summer the buds of the remaining shoots should be nipped back in order to induce 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 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 nay go into those shoots to be left to produce canes. AS soon as the plants reach height of 24 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 small pair of prun- ing shears. It is very important that the shoots be pinched off as soon as they reach the proper height, rather than let them grow to a greater height and then cut back. A longer cane is inclined to bend over to the ground unless some support is given.

nounced, 1t may prove necessary to at. tach second forked stick Gas shown by the dotted line). This one should press against the curved side of the tree; while the upper fork would pull the top of the tree over and straighten the trunk. The fork may be nailed or wired Cor both) securely to the stake driven into the ground. and tied to the tree with a soft cord or rag string. At the point where it comes in contact with the tree, it should be wrapped well with some kind of soft material to avoid rubbing the bark
 In Fig. we have method which. while requiring little more time and labor than in Fig. 1, Is more substan. tial and effective. Three strong stakes are driven in the ground near the tree hoop from a barrel is nailed secure. ly to the stakes. stiff stick is laid across this hoop and fastened firmly to couple of the stakes with nails. At the point marked "X' in the illustra tion this stick is wrapped well with some old cloth or paper, and the tree tied securely to it. Another stick fas. tened to the hoop crosswise to this one, and tied to the tree at "X." would prove still more substantial.
 This device not only prevents the tree from weaving about when the wind blows, but it is a fine arrange ment for strengthening and keeping straight the young trees. Further, to furnish ample protection from rabbits, mice, etc, one has but to tack some fine poultry netting on to the stakes
