Peach leaf curl may he controlled
either by bordeaux mixture or by lime

gallon to eight gallons of water will
also control San Jose scale it is more
commonly used If the scale is not
present the lime-sulphur may be used
at the rate of one gallon to fifteen gal

The most important factors in the
control are timelineSS and thorough
ness Of application. Infection appears
to take place during the first prolonged
cool rain after the buds begin to swell,
and spraying after this time has not
proved effective.
Spraying may be done any time after
the leaves fall in the autumn and be
fore the buds begin to swell in the
spring. Experiments conducted during
the past two years have shown that
fall spraying is fully as effective as
spring spraying, Usually also the
weather and soil conditions are more
favorable in the fall 1t is therefore
advised that spraying for peach leaf
curl be done in the fall so far as posi-

The spores of the fungus, it is

in the hairs of the bud scales. This
makes it necessary to wet all Of the
