In badly infested cases the rings merge into one another, forming a very 

 scabby-looking blotch. The illustration shows this clearly, but does 

 not show the rings, because of the lack of contrast between the light- 

 red and rose-tinted fruit. 



Mr. Hassler informs the writer that the mite is very difficult ta 

 control on the fruit and after two years ' experience believes that a lime 

 spray composed of from twelve to fourteen pounds of lime to forty 

 gallons of water is superior to a lime-sulphur spray. 



In treating the mite during the winter he has found the addition 

 of lime to the commercial lime-sulphur solution decidedly helpful. —
