196S. Vermorel and Dantony. Efficacite comparee de bouilles bordelaises ordinaires

 of ordinary bordeaux mixture and bordeaux mixture with the addition of casein in the treatment 

 of grapes.] Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris 169: 439-440. 1919. — Experiments were carried 

 out with bordeaux mixture to which was added fifty grams of casein per hectoliter. Chemical 

 tests of grape tissues over a period of forty-five days indicated that the mixture adheres 

 much better if casein is added and that it remains on the tissues in spite of rain and unfavor- 

 able weather conditions without loss of efficiency. — In the treatment of grapes for mildew 

 this promises to be a great advantage, since the spray is not easily applied to the fruits ex- 

 cept when the leaves are small and consequently must be of a type which adheres well and 

 does not lose its efficiency. — V. H. Young.
