sprayed on the trees. This scheme is 

 for use when the receptacles are bar- 

 rels. II the .opray tank holds a hun- 

 dred gallons, all the lime and bluestoue 

 can be brought up to iifty gallons each 

 and then drawn directly into the tank. 

 Stock solutions o£ lime and bluestonc 

 may be kept on hand. They will do as 

 •well as freshly prepared material, ir 

 the lime doesn't dry out enough to 

 crack. The addition of water from 

 time to time will prevent this. 



Its Use. 



In spraying, a nozzle which throws 

 a very fine mist is the best such as the 

 Bordeaux or Vermorel. The material 

 should be kept constantly stirred and 

 driven through the pipes with a high, 

 steady pressure. 



When arsenlcals are used, they may 

 he carried in the Bordeaux Mixture 

 without impairing it. If Paris green 

 is used a slight excess of lime should 

 be put into the original formula. 



Beneiit from spraying will be in pro- 

 portion to the care in preparing the 

 material, thoroughness In spraying, 

 -and time of application. Different dis- 

 eases require different treatment, but 

 the correct data can be obtained from 

 government or experimental station 

 bulletins and reports, or from the va- 

 rious hortiraltural and agricultural 

 magazines. 



Its Limitations. 



Bordeaux Mixture is a preventive 

 and not a cure. The spores of a dis- 

 ■ease are carried by water, wind or in- 

 sects to the plants. When these 

 minute "seeds" come in contact with 

 moisture they germinate, and, if noth- 

 ing prevents them, enter the tissues of 

 the plant. When Bordeaux Mixture is 

 present the copper poisons the sprout- 

 ing germs, causing them to shrivel up 

 and die. Once within the host they 

 are beyond reach, and so the spray 

 must be on before the germs start to 

 grow. However, if infection has 

 started further spraving will prevent 

 damage on uninoculated parts. 



While not a panacea for all ills Bor- 

 deaux Mixture has a wide range of use- 

 fulness, and the grower of a few plants 

 or trees troubled with disease can se- 

 cure just as .good results as the owner 

 of acres. R. L. ADAMS.
