March, 1922 



with 6-6-40 Bordeaux. The next day, 

 November, 7, Plot 5 was sprayed with 1 to 

 9 lime-sulfur. 



WHEN the fruit was harvested it was 

 found difficult to wipe off the coat- 

 ing of Bordeaux from the apples of Plot 

 1 so that they could be harvested immedi- 

 ately. However, the apples from Plot 2 

 which was sprayed with Burgundy showed 

 pracically no deposit at all. 



Early in the spring the trees were given 

 quite a heavy pruning and an endeavor was 

 made to cut out all dead wood. The trees 

 all had the same treatment so that the counts 

 of infection made later would be on a uni- 

 form basis. 



On May 11 and 12, 1920, the counts 

 were made and showed the following 

 results: 



Plot 1 — sprayed with 3-.V40 Bordeaux, 

 on the 12th, September, 1919, 3 trees 

 showed an average of 9 cankers per tree; 

 check tree 75. 



Plot 2 — sprayed with 1-1^-40 Bur- 

 gundy mixture, on the 12th September, 

 1919, 3 trees showed an average of 3 3 

 cankers per tree; check tree 125. 



Plot 3 — spmyed with 3-3-40 Bordeaux, 

 on November 6, 1919, after the fruit was 

 picked, 3 trees showed an average of 42 

 cankers per tree; check tree 101. 



Plot 4 — spr.ayed with 6-6-40 Bordeaux, 

 on November 6, 1919, after the fruit was 

 picked, 3 trees showed an average of 32 

 cankers per tree; check tree 140. 



Plot 5- — sprayed with 1 to 9 lime- 

 sulfur on November 7, 1919, after the 

 fruit was picked, 3 trees showed an average 

 of 37 cankers per tree; check tree 92. 



From the results of the experiments of 

 the past years the following recommenda- 

 tions for the control of applc-trce anthrac- 

 nose are being made: 



During July and August an endeavor 

 should be made to go through the orchard 

 and cut out all signs of dead wood. 



On early varieties such as Yellow Trans- 

 parent, Duchess, Wealthy and Gravenstein, 

 spray with 3-4-40 Bordeaux as soon as the 

 fruit is picked and before the fall rains 

 come. This spray is all that is necessary. 



On varieties such as King and Jonathan, 

 it is advised to spray the last week in 

 August with l-lJ/2-40 Burgundy and to 

 follow this with a 3-4-40 Bordeaux as soon 

 as the fruit is picked. 



With late varieties such as Baldwin and 

 Spy, which are not harvested until the end 

 of October and not marketed until January, 

 it is advised to spray them the last week in 

 August with a 3-4-40 Bordeaux and this 

 will be all that is necessary. 



The use of Burgundy for varieties such 

 as King and Jonathan is recommended, due 

 to the fact that this spray gives very effi- 

 cient results and leaves no deposit on the 

 fruit which will be harvested probably in 

 October. 



It is felt that this disease can be almost 

 absolutely controlled if growers will only 

 take the matter in hand.
