GRAPE GROWERS SPRAYING
Pre-Bl0ss0m Period Now on and
Vineyards Need Attention

Spray notes in regard to the
pre-blossom application of Borde-
aux mixture for grape vineyards
have been sent this week from the
Office Of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson to the grape growers in
Kent county and in the adjoining
areas as a means of calling atten-
ton once more to the importance
of this spray in the control of
those insects and fungous diseases
which may be prevalent at this
season of the year. This applica-
ton should be made when the new
shoots are from to IL inches
long, or at the stage of growth
when not more than 10 per cent of
the blossoms are out. For this
spray the growers are being ad-
vised to use the 6-12-100 formula
of Bordeaux, which calls for 6
pounds of copper sulphate (blue-
stone) and II pounds of hydrated
lime to 100 gallons of water, to
which should be added 3 pounds of
the dry arsenate of lead as a con-
troll for the berry moth. This
spray should be followed with an
other application of the same ma
terials just as soon as the vines
have passed the blossoming stage
for further protection against the
black rot and other diseases, and
such insect pests as the berry
moth, leaf-folder, root worm anC
rose bug. In case the blossoming
period should be delayed for more
than a week, however, it is recon-
mended that an additional spray
be applied at this time. Following
the after-blossom period, the next
application, which is known as the
Today spray, calls for the use of
the same materials as heretofore
mentioned, and it should go on
just before the grapes touch each
other in the clusters, or when they
are about the size of garden peas.
If leaf-hoppers are troublesome a.
this time Of the season, nicotine
sulphate (Black Leaf 40) should
be added at the rate of l pint to
each 100 gallons of spray mixture.
In securing a satisfactory control
of the grape diseases and insects
which are common to this section
Of the country it is very essential
that the vines and clusters be
thoroughly sprayed throughout
the entire season. This not only
includes efficient spraying machin-
cry with pumps that will maintain
and deliver the spray at high
pressure, but the arms and nozzles
must be adjusted and manipulated
so that the spray material comes

ers who are housed in tents pitch
ed on the grounds of the u. S. De-

program will include speakers of

seeing trips to important civic and
historic points of interest. Unus-
ual opportunity for special train
ing in leadership will be afforded

heifer. The year of 1928 l took
her to the Kent and Sussex Fair
and she won first prize $1,000
over a class of six or seven other
grade heifers. After the Fair, 1
sold the grade for $4,000. With
the $4,000 and the $1,000 prize, I
bought Pure-bred Ayrshire Heif-
er. Last year I took her to the
Fair and she won first prize
$12.00-in the open class, against
five other heifers, and second prize
S8.00-in the club class. In 1923
at the Fair won fourth place for
the county in Dairy Judging. Last
year I won first place in the coun-
ty and second in the state. In do
