vs.. SPRAYING
APPLES AID PEACHES

The extension division at Blacks
burg has received numerous requests
during the past two seasons for infor-
nation relative to the efficiency or
busting as compared to the standard
liouid sprays for the control OF insects
and diseases OF orchards. 1t has con-
sistently recommended splt.ying in
preference to busting except for GER
tain conditions when x limited amount
OF busting may he cracticed ""h S"F'-
". The great interest manifested In
du~tir,s is well founded because OF the
greater saving in time, greater con-
venience in handling and smaller initial
cost OF machinery.
Owing tn the fact that busting ma
te~iaIs have only given satisfactory
OF a very limited number OF
insects and diseases. among which
should be mentioned the cooling moth
and leaf eating insects. the horticul-
turists have recommended that dust
be nsed only for a calyx or coditng
meth application for apples and then
only in case the orchard is too large
to be sprayed with liurids in the FIVE
or six day period during which this
application should be made. Even
thnr III not a6viss bile to dust for two
consecutive years. because scsb. which
IL not controlled by dust. Is apt to ac-
cnmulate to a serious extent.
II has been thought safe to rely
entirely unon busting for peaches bat
recent investigations prove that 1t Is
10 reliable for late season appiica-
tons.
During the past year the experiment
station has conducted busting expert
ments with both apples and peaches In
several loca Titles Of the state. III re-
suits OF which are available in Vir-

are drawn from these experiments:
