stant feinieiicy, based upon actual ex- 

 perience, to increase the efliciency of 

 their spray by putting more materials 

 of various kinds in it and endeavor- 

 ing to make a concoction that will kill 

 everything present and prevent any 

 other mischievous organism getting a 

 hold in the immediate future. 



The apple mildew is another disease 

 that I want to mention at this time be- 

 cause it has spread so rapidly during 

 the last season in some parts of Wash- 

 ington, and I understand is also in 

 some of our neighboring states. This 

 disease was for a time thought to be of 

 little importance. Ordinarily mildews 

 disappear or their spread and develop- 

 ment is checked by warm, dry weather. 

 Some of us expected this to take place 

 with the development of mildew this 

 past season, but it seemed to develop 

 and grow just as rapidly in dry 

 weather as in moist. Bordeaux mix- 

 ture did not control it; neither did 

 lime-sulphur, although I found a few 

 men who claimed that they were hold- 

 ing it in check by the use of lime- 

 sulphur. The manager of one badly in- 

 fested orchard which I visited claimed 

 to be holding the disease in check by 

 lime-sulphur. It did not seem to me 

 that his efforts were successful, al- 

 though one visit to the orchard could 

 not be used as a basis for judgment, 

 especially when that judgment was 

 contradicted by an intelligent man 

 who was working in the orchard every 

 day. This disease has been a pest in 

 some of the apple orchards of Califor- 

 nia for several years and has only re- 

 cently done enough damage in Wash- 

 ington to attract much attention. The 

 results secured in the experimental 

 work in California indicate that free. 

 or what is more commonly called pure 

 sulphur, is the best known material to 

 use in spraying to control apple mil- 

 dew. All of the common standard 

 fungicides were tested with many new 

 preparations, and what is called pre- 

 cipitated sulphur gave best results. In 

 the experimental work this was pre- 

 pared by dissolving two pounds of iron 

 sulphate in about ten gallons of water 

 and slowly adding concentrated lime- 

 sulphur until no more black precipitate 

 is formed. This is allowed to settle 

 and the clear liquid poured off. Water 

 is added again and the material vigor- 

 ously stirred, and the same operation 

 repeated two or three times. The 

 black precipitate is then mixed with 

 100 gallons of water and used as a 

 spray. The value of this mixture does 

 not seem to be impaired by adding 

 arsenate of lead and nicotine for the 

 control of insects. The first applica- 

 tion of this combined spray mixture is 

 used as the calyx spray. The second 

 application should he made about ten 

 days or two weeks later. The third 

 application is made about three weeks 

 after the second. The fourth a))plica- 

 tion is made about three weeks after 

 the third. Some fruitgrowers in Hood 

 River last sununer added the iron- 

 sulphate solution to the lime-sulphur 

 and arsenate solution after the latter 

 had been diluted in the spiay tanks.
