KENT COUNTY AGENT
WILSON SAYS SPRAY
NOW FOR APPLE PESTS
CONTINUED from Page one)


black rot, bitter rot, and fruit spot
and as an effective control measure
for the second brood of the codling
moth. For practical results, and to
freduce the possibilities of fruit rus
setting, it is recommended that the
growers use the dry-miX at the rate
of so pounds to 200 gallons of water
If commercial lime sulphur is used
it should be diluted at the rate of
to 20. The attention of the growers
is also being called to the necessity
of adding the arsenate of lead to
this spray at the rate of 8 pounds
to the gallons of spray solution.
With the dry-mix and lead arsenate,
it is suggested that from five to ten
pounds of lime be added, while with
the commercial lime sulphur and
lead arsenate, about Is pounds of
lime should be used. Those orchard
lists who are equipped for busting
should continue their dust schedule
iii order to keep the growth Wen
protected during the season.
In case bitter rot and apple blotch
are troublesome, however, it is es-
sential that Bordeaus mixture be
used for the control of these disc
ases. The recommended formula
for this particular application of
Bordeaux is pounds of copper
sulphate and 4 pounds of hydrated
lime to so gallons of water.
In regard to the codling moth
situation, DR.. H. L. Dozier, Entom-
oe 41,o
Station, who has been working on
the life history and control of this
insect in Kent County for the past
two years in cooperation with
County Agent Russell E. Wilson,
calls attention to the fact that al
though the adult moths started to
emerge slightly earlier this year
than they did in 1926, the long,
drawn-out cold periods have greatly
retarded their emergence and egg
deposition. 1t is well established
S1ct that these adult codling moths
10 not lay unless the temperature
is about sixty degrees, and in the
life history studies, is has been OBJ
served tleat a majority of the moths
this season died without depositing
any eggs. L ulo SOnu4lAOAs III elu-
dition to the much lessened initial
spring infestation, points to an un-
favorable season for this insect in
general. By June % of this year
fruit was being stung freely in a
number of orchards in Kent County,
showing that it is absolutely essen
tial that the apples be kept well
protected by a thorough film of ar
senate of lead.
These fruit growers who have |
peaches should also plant to give |
their trees the second summer ap- |
plication for the control of brown |
rot and scab, and for late varieties, |
this treatment should be applied |
during he second week in July. For |
this spray, it is recommended that |
dry-mix be used at the rate of so |
pounds to 200 gallons of water, and /
these growers who are using dust |
are advised to continue this practice |
with sulphur-lime dust in order to |
maintain a protection against these
diseases. Bacterial spot has shown |
up on the foliage and fruit, but it is |
much less severe than is was last |
year at this time. This disease is
carried over during the entire grow
ing season; consequently, it is i'm
possible to determine what further
development might occur at later
date.

require any cultivation. Cultivating
alfalfa with a disk harrow or spring
tooth harrow can be done after cut
ting. However, it will do more good
in the early spring and after the
first cutting. If disk harrow is
used, it should be set so that the
crowns are not cut Off Splitting of
the crowns only increases the stand
and rejuvenates the plant. Cultivat-
ing will also keep down the weeds
and filth, and will put the soil in a
more mellow and better condition.

COUNTY AGENT URGES
GROWING OF ALFALFA

Sussex County Agent, M. C,
Vaughn, has been studying the relat-
ion of alfalfa to other crops for
food value. His conclusions are in
tensily and should be of value to
Delaware farmers. He saysl
Feeding Value of Alfalfa
Alfalfa is one of the most highly
nutritious and most valuable of
feeds for all classes of farm animals
either in the form of green alfalfa
or as hay or alfalfa meal. The fol-
lowing table taken from Prof, Hen
ry's "Feeds and Feedings" shows the
results of experiments to determine
the relative value of the different
kinds of feeds.

It is Interesting to note from the
above table that soy beans and cow
peas have about the same feeding
value per ton as alfalfa hay, but the
fact that alfalfa nay on the average
produces almost twice the tonnage per
acre as do the oher legumes, leaves
no doubt relatives to the value of
alfalfa hay as a roughage for live
stock.

Alfalfa Campaign for 1927


Alfalfa Campaign for 1927
The U. S. Census of 1924 gives
1926 as the total acreage in hay
crops for Delaware, of which 1906
acres in alfalfa. In view of the fact
that alfalfa can be successfully
grown and is of more value to the
farmer than any legume, the Exten-
sion Department of the University
of Delaware through the County
Agents program of work this year
will stress the need of more alfalfa
and encourage more planting by de-
monstrations, publicity and person
al contact. Questionnaires have al
ready been sent out concerning this
campaign meetings with seed deal
ers relatives to the kind of seed to
buy have been held.
Preparation of Seed Bed
The tender nature of the young
alfalfa plant makes it advisable that
the soil be in very good condition at
planting. time. The seed bed should
be fine On top, but firm and thoro-
ughly settled. A good rule to follow

18th of June. Some cultivated crop
like early potatoes is a splendid
for alfalfa. After the
potatoes are harvested, simply disk
lightly of smooth the ground with a
harrow, and after each rain repeat
the operation until seeding time.
There have been lots of failures, due
to he late plowin.g of land for al
falfa.
Fertilizer and Lime Requirement
For Alfalfa
Alfalfa is heavy feeder and one
must have good soil if he expects to
be successful with alfalfa. Land
that will only grow 40 to so baskets
Of corn per acre il normal season,
will not produce alfalfa successfully.
On land that is in a good state of
where II to Is tons of stable
manure per acre has been plowed
under, it is not necessary to apply
fertilizer at seeding time carrying
any ammonia. However, an appli-
cation of 800 lbs, of 0-12-5 will make
