ANTRACNOSE CUTS
MELON CROP half
Disease May Easily Be Controll-
ed Experts Say, By Uuse of
Bordeaux Mixture

ATLANTA, Ga, April 28.-Tha
watermelon yield ir,' Georgia and
Florida was reduced fifty per cent
last year on account of anthrac-
nose is said to be especially de-
structive when there is heavy rain
fall just before and during the
ripeldng period.
The Department points out tha..
attempts to market badly pick9 ed
melons have resulted in losses in
transit for many producing sections.
The disease, the department says
may be controlled by the use Of
bordeaux mixture which if applied
to the healthy watermelon vines
with sufficient thoroughness to
keep both leaf surfaces covered,
will prevent is spread and help
control other diseases of the crop.
Since the aim is to keep the vines
covered with spray, weather condi.
ton are of major importance in
determining the number of appli,
cations and dates of spraying. The
following tentative schedule is sug.
gested.
Make the first application when
the wires are about foot dong
Use Bordeaux 44-50 for remaining
sprays. Make a second application
ten days later. Spray the third
time about one week after the main
crop has "set" on the vines. a
fourth spray should be applied 10
TO IA days later. If rains are fire.
quest during the remainder of the
season, it is sometime profitable to
continue spraying at weekly inter
walls until the crop isharvested.
In case a part of all the spray
is washed off by heavy rains be-
fore it has dried on, it will be ad
visable to make the next applica-
ton earlier than indicated above.
Usirg two 20-gallon barrels for
storage, provide stock solution as
follows:
Place 40 gallons Of water in one
barrel and suspend 40 pounds of
bluestone in a looselp woven bur-
lap bag just under the surface of
the water. Leave this over night,
SO that the bluestone will dissolve.
Stake 40 pouuds of stone lime
to a thick paste and dilute with
water to 40 gallons in the other
barrel.
With these stock solutions, the
spray may be mixed in one of two
ways. Where it is inconvenient to
prepare miring platform and raise
water to that level method will be
found good.
In case hydrated lime is used for
making either strength make up a
stock solution one pound to the gal
Ion, and use 1-2 gallons to make
SO gallor's of spray, reducing the
water by l 1-2 gallons. Barrels
containing stock solutions should be
kept covered to avoid diIution in
case of rain.
Stock solution will keep long
time, but bordeaux should be used
imediately after it is prepared.
Never use spray mixture left over
from the previous day.
1t is necessary to aplv the spray
at a pressure of $50 to 200 pounds,
in order to cover the foliage thor
Oughly or both sides. The type of
sprayer that can be used most eff
rectively and with greatest economy
depends on the acreage, and con-
dition of fields. Hand-power dou-
ble-acting pumps with air ressure
chamber, 2 wheeled gasoline power
sprayers, and orchard spray out
fits are good. In the case of pow
ed equipment, light 2-wheeled ma
chine with sufficient axle and tank
clearance to facilitate work ir
stumpy fields is desirable.

Last night somewhere be- tween and 10 o'clock while every one in the city confidently expected it was going to rain and a welcome and much needed shower would help break the heat spell and water the parched lawns, only the west side of the city had rain. Streets southwest of Walnut Hill park were drenched while the park itself remained per fectly dry.
