Spraying Mixtures
How Make and Apply

When thorough spraying W.
practiced at the ArooStook EXperl-
mental Farm other conditions peln2
equal, the sprayed plots yielded IA
bushels of potatoes more per acre
than the unSprayed. The regular
formula for making Bordeaux mix
tire is ; pounds copper Sulphate
(blue vitrioD, 5 pounds lump lime
and so gallons water. This is called
the so formula.
Stock solutions can be made up
and kept indefinitely by dissolvlng 81
hounds of copper sulphatc in so gal
Ions of water and stalking SO pounds
of lime and adding so gallons OF wa
ter. Keep these solutions separate.
In making the Bordeaux mixture
one of two methods may be used. III
the acreage is large a spraying plat
form should be built high enough to
permit loading the Sprayer barrel by
gravity. This platform should be To-
Gated beside the water supply.
Two extra barrels are needed. In
one put five gallons of the stock So
luton of copper sulphate and 20 gal
Ions of water and in the other five
gallons of lime solution and 20 gal
Ions of water. Mix each solution
thoroughly and run them at the same
time into the sprayer tank by means
of large pieces of hose attached 10
the barrels at the bottom.
If the acreage is small the mixture
can be made in the sprayer tank
with good results. Put Il little water
in the bottom of the tank and then
add five gallons of the copper sui
phate solution; fill the spraycr near
" full of water, add the lime solu-
ton and stir vigorously. Remember
to put the copper Sulphate in first
and the lime in last. If the sprayer
holds 100 gallons double the amount
Begin spraying. when the potatoes
are not more than six inches high
and spray every week. or ten days
through the growing season. A hne
mist applied with high pressure is
essential to success.
It is a good practice when bugs
are present to mix the poison with
Bordeaux. There is no danger from
burning when arsenic poisons are
used this way. The following are
the amounts of several common poi
sons to be used to so gallons of Bor-
deaux: Paris green, l h.; arsenate or

making a paste of the poison add
little water and stir directly into the
