ing. The next day we have applied the same brand of con- 

 centrated lime-sulfur at a strength of 1 to 100, and had very 

 serious burning. It must be the difference in the conditioti 

 of the atmosphere or the condition of the leaves on two 

 different days. The same thing would hold true with lime- 

 sulfur used on other trees. The condition of the trees and 

 the climatic conditions are very important points to consider 

 in connection with this lime-sulfur burning. 



]\IR. HALE: How about the water? Some use river 

 water and some hard water from the well. I used some 

 Avith London purple that had potash in it,' and it burned 

 badly. The year before I used different water, river water, 

 and it was all right, and last year I used water that I had 

 analyzed that had quite a little potash in it, not enough to 

 injure it as drinking water, but I laid it to that. I have no 

 doubt that water makes some difference, as much as climatic 

 influences. 



* ■ THE PRESIDENT : It might be hard to settle that ques- 

 tion unless we went at it experimentally." '■' 



]\IR. HALE: When we make fish glue we have got to 

 treat it chemically and take out all the wrong elements, or 

 we won''t always get the right glue: 



PROF. FARLEY: So far as we could see, they were 

 lM)th fair days. .It was at least partially due to the condi- 

 tion of the trees. , i.. : ; ';m 



SECRETRY BROWN: .You really can't tell ahead of 

 tinu' what those conditions are? V^M''' 



"' prop: PARLEY: No. We have had serious burning 

 witli lime-sulfur on peaches when diluted 1 to 175. 



QUFiSTION: C'onld you tell any difference in the days, 

 generally speaking? 



PRO^. FARLEY: Generally speaking, they were both 

 fair days, and both applications Avere put on by the same 

 man. 



QUESTION: The lime-sulfur the same? 



PROF. FARLEY : Yes, and in the same orchard. 



QUESTION: Was the wind the same each day?
