South Carolina is infected with it and
while it is widespread and very de.

to control, according to Director H.
w. Barre, OF the South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station, by spraying with
limc-sulfur.
There are numerous commercial
brands OF lime-sulfur on the market
ana some Of these have been tested
by careful experimenters and found
to be very satisfactory The ordinary

been used at the rate Of one

follows: Use 5 lbS. Of fresh ouick
lime and 9 IS. Of sulfur (hour )to so
gals. Of water. Make this up bv plac.
ing the eight pounds OF fresh lime in
tub or barrel and add just enough
water to slake it. An excess of water
seems to drown the lime and retards
the shaking process. AS soon as the
lime begins to crumble apart and a
violent boiling is set up, add eight
pounds OF sulfur and stir in thorough
ly, adding enough water to keen any
part OF the mixture from becoming dry
or burning. Keep this we'll stirred
and allow the boiling to continue for
D to 10 minutes. Special care should
be exercised at this time to keep any
part or the mixture from becoming
dry. Enough water should be added,
in fact. so that the paste Is thin
enough to be easily stirred After tho
boiling has continued to 10 minutes
enough water sholud be added to cool
the mixture
The trees should be sprayed two to
three weeks after the shucks drop
and again at intervals Of from two to
four weeks until the fruit begins to
ripen.

OF the fungus remain alive in the oat

and fills up the places where the
grains should form with the black,
sooty masses OF its spores.
AS these masses Of spores break up
they are scattered by the wind to all
parts Of the field. Many Of them lodge
on healthy heads OF oats in the field
while others are infested in the thresh-
ing operation; but in both cases the
spores remain alive on the grain until
