Orchard Spray Notes
Sent Out Last Week
Kent County 0rehardists win Re.
eeiye Information From r. \. Wilson


Under the direction of. the Depart
ments of Plant Pathology, Entomol-
ogy and Horticulture the orcnarO
spray service, including timely
spray notes and visits to orchards
will be conducted again this year
for the benefit of all fruit growers
in the state. The first edition for the
I94t season was sent out on March
7 10 Kent county orchardists from
the office of County Agent Russell u.
Wilson, and contained suggestions in
regard to spraying apple and peach
trees at this time of the year.
For the most effective control of
abhids. scale and redmite it is de-
siyabie to use an all-purpose spray,
and fruit growers have the option of
using either tar distillate oil and
the oil emulsion as commercially
prepared and recommended, or a
home mix preparation, or dlnitro-oil
combinations according to recon-
mendations by manufacturers. In
order TO successfully control these
insects il is absolutely; essential that
all parts of the tree be thoroughly
covered.
With reference to spraying peach
trees, applications should be made
before the buds begin to swell. Lime
sulphur is regarded as satisfactory
spray for the control Of peach leaf
curl and San Jose scale, but II other
scale insects and red mite are pre-.
vaient a 6-6-100 Bordeaux mixture
with a lubricating oil emulsion, or
commercial oil sprays according to
recommendations of manufacturers,
should be used at this time. If the
spray is to be applied only for leaf
curl control, however, growers may
use either Bordeaux or liquid lime
sulphur.

Chairman and President, Canadian

With steadily increasing force,
the impact Of the war is being
felt in every phase Of the Do
minionS industrial and commercial
activities. The needs Of modern
mechanical warfare are 50 nu-
merous and so great, the cost in
labor and materials so immense.
that there is created a greatly
increased demand for commodi-
ties and services of all kinds The
present conflict gives promise of
being the Hest-eXpensive in con-
sumption of material and equip
ment of any which the world has
yet known BY the close Of the
war we will have added to our
manufactures a long list of items
which a year ago were compare
lively new TO Canadian factories
and mills.
Canada's railways made possible
the very important expansion in
the variety and volume of the
Doninion's commodity production
which took place in the < years
preceding 1889. The same rail
way network is making possible
the present expansion in our pro-
duction, and the expansion which
is to follow The Canadian Ma
tional Railway System-itS 1000
miles of line traversing the north
ern forest belt, tapping the mineral
riches Of the Canadian Shield,
spreading out across the agricul-
tural area of the country. serving
every principal manufacturing
center, ocean and inland port of
the DominioH@-is proving itself
able TO provide Canadian industry
with the efficient transportation
service required to effect this ex-
pansion in our production of ma
terials and equipment.
