SPRAY FOR PEACH LEAF CURL
In Order to Be Effective Lime Sulphur
Must Be Applied While Buds
Are Dormant.

Last spring peach leaf-curl was
prevalent in many orchards and did
a great deal of damage. Some who
had sprayed their trees were badly
disappointed TO find considerable curl
In their orchards. The reason for this
was that the trees were sprayed too
late, according to w. G. Slower, plant
pathologist Of the Ohio State univer-
sity.
I'm order to be effective against
curl the spray must be applied while
the buds are absolutely dormant"
says Professor Slower. when the
buds begin to swell. the bud scales
are slightly separated and the para
site which causes the curl can grow
into the tender bud tissues.
THE orchardist Is often prevented
from spraying his peaches at the
proper time In the spring This dan
ger can be avoided by fall spraying,
which has been found to be as effec-
tive In controlling both leaf-curl and
scale as the spring applications. The
weather may also be more favorable
and the other farm work is out of the
way. Fall spraying may be started
