Bordeaux mixture Is five pounds of copper 

 sulphate (blue stone) and five pounds of 

 stone lime to 50 gallons of water. The two 

 chemicals must be dissolved separately. The 

 weights should be accurate. Guess work 

 often causes more harm than good. First 

 dissolve the copper sulphate in about ten 

 gallons of water and then dilute the solu- 

 tion to make up 25 gallons. Then in an- 

 other tank slake the lime before making an 

 attempt at forming a solution. Then allow 

 the lime to dissolve In water, gradually 

 bringing the solution up to 25 gallons. Then 

 stir in the lime solution and pour Into the 

 copper sulphate solution. This process re- 

 quires two tanks capable of holding at least 

 £5 to 50 gallons. 



Paris green can be added to the copper 

 sulphate and lime mixture which ■will kill 

 insects. Usually from one to two pounds of 

 Taris green for every 50 gallonsof Bordeaux 

 mixture is used. In this manner, one spray- 

 ing can be made to serve a double purpose.

 berries will be shipped from this sectio: 

 in addition to the quantities sent to the jai 

 factories. The number of acres under berrie 

 Is very large this year and It is expecte 

 that this acreage will almost be double

The British Market 



An English correspondent, writing a f 

 days ago about fruit conditions in Gr 

 Britain, says, "I am under the impressio, 

 that there will be a good demand for apple 

 from Canada this sea.son. The En<;liBh appl 

 crops are not looking at all well, though it i 

 early to pass an opinion at present. The; 

 will likely be small, scrubby and wormy. I 

 any of the districts do better than others 

 It •will probably be the districts that havi 

 only been planted of late years. 



"Canadian apples coming on to this mat 

 ket do well, especially if the samples ar 

 good and clean. One of the trouble." o 

 a number of shipments In past years fro!) 

 Canada Is the fact that many of the end 

 come out of the barrels In transit. Thi.s I 

 probably ow1"k to the nailing, and you wll 

 understand that where the bottoms and top 

 come out of the barrels the apples are con 

 siderably damaged and numerous barrel 

 lost out of the shipment." 



Win Against the Hessian Fly 



To Escape the Main Attack of the Fly 

 — sow your wheat late. The early brood is most de- 

 structive to young wheat and provides for future broods. 

 Your own Experiment Station will tell you this. 



THE Best Wheat Yields come from plants that enter 

 the winter strong and vigorous. Your own experience 

 will tell you this. 



TO Win Against the Fly, seed late, feed the crop with 

 available fertilizers which will hasten growth to over- 

 come the late start, and secure vigor with consequent re- 

 sistance to later broods. Use 200 to 400 pounds per acre 

 containing at least 2 per cent, of ammonia. Acid phos- 

 phate alone does not give the necessary quick growth and 

 resistance to the fly. 



In Farmers' Bulletin No. 640, U. S. Department of Agriculture, fertil- 

 izers are recommended to give vigor to late sown crops and resistance 

 to the Hessian Fly.
