It was found that when packing was 

 commenced practically no sign of the 

 Bordeaux mixture could be found, except 

 very occasionally in the calyx or stem end ot 

 the apple, and it was unnecessary to wipe 

 the fruit. However, the surface of the 

 apples was left in a very sticky condition 

 and it was almost impossible to wipe the 

 fruit unless it was first washed. No 

 complaint was received with reference to 

 the apples after they were sold. 



Counts of Infection, 1917 — On May 

 25, J. W. Easth.im, plant pathologist, made 

 the counts for infection on the plots with 

 the following results: 



Plot 1 — early spray, 270 one and two- 

 year-old branches examined from 5 trees, 

 and 31 were found to be infected, or 1I.+ 

 per cent. 



Plot 2 — early and late spray, 375 on? 

 and two-year-old branches examined 

 from 5 trees, and 27 were infected, or 7.2 

 per cent. 



Plot 3 — late spray only, 326 one and 

 two-year-old branches examined from 5 

 trees, and 251 were infected, or 76.99 

 per cent. 



Plot 4 check-plot, showed practically 



100 per cent infection.

{To be Continued) 



Especially perfected tor spreading LIME SULPHUR Sprays. 

 "EMULSO" carries the lime sulphur into every crack and crevice, completely destroying all 



scale and leaving none to carry over to blotch the fruit. 

 "EMULSO" will enable you to cover approximately one-third more trees with the same 



amount of spray. How much spray will this save you? How much labor expense? 

 "EMULSO" protects the face and hands from the burning effect of lime sulphur, an item 



that interests every man behind the spray gun. 

 Field results will show the advantages of "EMULSO" with LIME SULPHUR sprays over 



any other type of spreader.
