TREATMENT FOR SAN JOSE SCALE. 



359 



Massey Hall will add greatly to its success. 

 In Massey Hall it will be possible to show the 

 flowers and fruit to every advantage, which, 

 together with the central location, will result 

 in a greatly increased attendance. The several 

 conventions which will be held at the same time 

 will be one of the best features of the exhibition. 



That was a splendid idea, the holding of a 

 joint picnic last month by the vegetable grow- 

 ers of the Toronto, Hamilton and Niagara dis- 

 tricts. The more growers in any line can meet 

 and fraternize the better for all concerned. The 

 success of this first venture suggests that it may 

 be possible to make a joint picnic of this kind 

 an annual affair.

Best Spraying Mixtures

SMITH, SCALE INSPECTOR, 

 GLANFORD, ONT. 



During August I made an examination of. the 

 trees sprayed for San Jose scale in a part of the 

 Niagara peninsula. Where the lime and sul- 

 phur had been prepared by the action of the 

 lime alone the result is anything but satisfac- 

 tory, but where the wash had been boiled by 

 steam in the old way the results were the best 

 that I have ever seen. 



What the result may be in other localities I 

 can not say, as I have not made any examina- 

 tion, but if they are anything like those I refer 

 to the advice which the fruit growers received at 

 a large number of meetings from a gentleman 

 from the United States might better never have 

 been given. If the lime and sulphur wash is 

 properly prepared by boiling, and also properly 

 applied, the scale cannot make headway. 



A striking illustration of the value to Cana- 

 dian shippers of the Fruit Marks Act Is shown 

 by the following incident, reported to the Ex- 

 tension of Markets Division, Department of 

 Agriculture, Ottawa, respecting a shipment of 

 apples by steamer Fremona, from Portland, Me.: 

 " Besides the Canadian apples there were ship- 

 ped by this steamer 992 barrels of United States 

 apples, by different shippers, which on being 

 landed over 50 were found to be without marks 

 of any description. As a consequence the con- 

 signees wanted to pick and choose, thereby 

 causing trouble and delay, during which the 

 apples from the Canadian shippers had been 

 placed on the market."
