APPLE SCAB AND HOW TO CON- 

 TROL IT. 



By Errett Wallace. Fellow. 



The abnormally warm weather of 

 April has started the apple buds 

 much sooner than we had expected. 

 If this continues it means that you 

 must be ready to give the first appli- 

 cation of spray very soon. The most 

 Important things to know are: 



First, the proper time for such ap- 

 plication. This must be determined 

 by watching the fruit buds and the 

 weather. Dates cannot be given. The 

 first application should be made be- 

 fore the first rain after the blossom 

 buds have been exposed, but before 

 they have opened; the second after 

 two-thirds of the petals have fallen, 

 being sure to get the mixture on 

 ahead of the rain, and the third about 

 two weeks later. A fourth may some- 

 times be necessary, nine weeks after 

 blossoms fall. Watch the fruit buds

and the weather: SPRAY BEFORE 

 RAIN, NOT AFTER. 



Second in importance is thorough- 

 ness. Remember that fungous infec- 

 tion can be prevented only where the 

 surface of the young forming fruit 

 and leaves are actually coated with 

 the spray. Spraying from one side 

 with the wind can therefore, at best, 

 only protect one side of each apple. 



Third, the spray used has in the 

 past, almost universally been Bordeaux 

 mixture for the fungi, combined with 

 an arsenical for the codling moth and 

 other insects. A 3-4-50 formula with 

 two pounds arsenate of lead to each 

 50 gallons of the Bordeaux is efficient. 

 Concentrated lime sulfur solution 

 (properly diluted) with arsenate of 

 lead added has been used very suc- 

 cessfully during the past season by 

 a number of investigators and the 

 spray injury or russeting of fruit 

 which frequently follows the applica- 

 tion of bordeaux was in all cases en- 

 tirely avoided. A concentrate testing 

 about 32 degrees Baume should be 

 diluted about 1-30 or 1-35 according 

 to our present knowledge and two 

 pounds of lead arsenate should be 

 added to each 50 gallons. Do not use 

 lime sulfur stronger than indicated 

 above on the foliage. Do not use 

 arsenite of lime, paris green or any 

 other poison except arsenate of lead 

 with lime sulfur solution on foliage, 

 since there is much danger of burn- 

 ing with the former while the arsen- 

 ate of lead has been fully used in this 

 way during the past three seasons. 

 To the Apple Grower: 



These spraying directions have been j 

 prepared by Mr. Wallace, the expert j 

 in our department who is conducting I 

 the investigations on lime sulfur as 

 a summer spray. These directions 

 are, we believe, the most accurate 

 and up-to-date that can be given for 

 the control of Apple Scab. We shall 

 be glad to answer any questions we 

 can on this subject. Address all in- 

 quiries to
