SPRAY FRUIT TREES SOON

1t is about time. says Prof NJ. B. Cum
mings, horticultural specialist for the
extension service Of the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural College,
for the annual spraying of fruit trees
in most places in Vermont In the south
ern part Of the State the time is prob
ably right just now whereas in northern
Vermont the application might be de-
layed few days, perhaps until the
middle of next week
The standard solution 10 the CONNER
cial strength of lime sulphur which is
used at the rate of one gallon to 40 gal
Ions of water to be mixed with two and
one-half pounds of arsenate of lead as
paste or two pounds Of powdered
arsenate. This application should be
put on before the trees blossom, but
after the leaves begin to come out
This is particularly effective for the con-
troll of apple scab which causes black
spots on leaves and fruits, and canker
which causes eruptions on the limbs,
spottening all leaves and blacl<ening the
fruit. 1t is also effective against the
bud moth and common apple worms.
The second application, generally known
as the after blossom spray, should be
of the same strength as indicated above
and should be applied within ten days
from the time the blossoms fall from
apple. pear, plum and cherry trees. This
spray is particularly effective for the con-
troll of coddling moth. commonly called
the apple worm, and also apple scab,
canker, bud moth, etc. In this applica-
ton the spray should be driven against
the ends of the blossomng branches.
This is the most important application
nf all nt,I .,l,A
Some other important points are to
follow all directions with care especially
regarding strengths of solution and man
ner of application. 1t is imperative that
one have n good equipment, that he be
timely in application, that he have a
good pump with high pressure and ex-
tension rod enabling one to direct the
spray against the branches and at proper
height To do this one needs 30 feet of
hose. one should have good nozzles and
should aim to spray thoroughly and take
plenty of time to drench the trees.
1t is best not to attempt to spray when
there is much wind and one should al
ways avoid making applications when the
foliage is wet In case the season is a
wet one especially before, during and
after blossoming one should aim to give
third application like unto the sec
ond after an interval of about two weeks
following the after blossom spray.
In case of unavailability of the lime
sulphur one may use Bordeaux mixture,
same formula as used for potatoes
Some commercial mixtures like pyrox
lime sulphur are also effective.

HIGHER
SUGAR PRICES
IN NEAR FUTURE
Omaha Dealers Do Not Expect
Benefit From New Whole
sale 10-Cent Maxi
mum Price. !

What effect the l0-cent maximum
price on sugar to the wholesaler,
fixed by the Department of Justice,
will have on sugar prices here, is
uncertain, according to leading
Omaha jobbers and retailers.
The l0-cent price is fixed on a
New York basis, according to H. G.
Hoel, general manager Of the Nc
Cord Brady Co, and will make the
price $l0.57 $40 100-pound bag to
the wholesaler in Omaha. Tfs
brings the price to the retailer to
S1l07, Mr.. Hoel says.
1t is Mr.. Hoels opinion that the
retailer will be forced to raise his
price, which at present is Il cents
pound, to at least 12H cents.
Will Not Raise Prcie.
M. w. Cavanaugh, manager of the
Courtney retail grocery store, de-
clared that the price would remain
at II cents pound. The fixed 10
cent price will not be an incentive
for the refineries of beet sugar to
put out their products, which At
torney General Palmer has alleged
they were withholding, Mr.. Cavan-
augh says.
The control of the sugar equal
ization board will cease on Janu-
airy H. said Mr.. Cavanaugh. THE
refineries can then charge the whole
salers any price which they desire.
1t is natural that they withhold a
part of their product"
Beet sugar refneries have not
been wantonly Withholding their
product from the market, Charles
H. Pickens of the Paxton & Gal
lagher company declared. A Short
age Of cars suitable for the transport
tation of sugar has caused the slow
ness in shipping sugar from beet
rehneries in the west, he said.
Shortage is Relieved.
Although uncertain as to the at
feet of the l0-cent price, jobbers and
retailers agree that the shortage of
sugar has been greatly relieved by
Nebraska beet sugar refneries which
opened recently.
An explanation for the causes of
the shortage in sugar, which was ex-
perienced in all parts of the coun-
try was issued on October Is, by
the statistical division Of the
Omaha daily bee., 1919-10-21

United States Sugar Equalization
board. A great increase in the de-
mand is given as the principal rea-
son for tine shortage.
Consumption Large.
"The consumption of sugar by the
United States for the whole year
Of 1919 will be over one-half of the
worlds total exportable surplus for
1919 and over one-quarter of the to-
tai worlds sugar production" the
statement says.
There has been delivered to do
mesic consumption in the first nine
months OF this year, almost as much
sugar as in the whole of 1918. In
1918 he consumption was 100000
tons, while in the first nine months
Of this year it was 3,2oS,0O0."
The statement closes with de-
bate on the moral" right of the
American people to take more sugar
than it has already taken from the
worlds supply.
