TWENTIETH ANNUAL MEETING. 91 



\'ice-President Drew : We have another gentleman 

 here, superintendent of the Connecticut Valley Orchard 

 Company, ]\lr. ]\Iolumph}'. 



]\Ir. Molumphy: I have done but little spraying, Mr. 

 President, and I have done no experimental work, and I 

 don't think there is anything I can say that would be of gen- 

 eral interest. Our main spraying of apples has been to spray 

 thoroughly with arsenate of lead, with about one gallon 

 of lime-sulphur to 50 gallons of water, and about two pounds 

 of arsenate of lead. That is done just as the blossoms drop. 

 I have done almost no summer work afterwards, and I have 

 nothing to say as to the russeting of the fruit or anything 

 along that line. I haven't conducted any experiments along 

 that line. I was very successful in controlling the coddling- 

 moth by one spraying just as the blossoms dropped, and I 

 can see no reason, on the results, for any further spraying 

 for the coddling moth. 



Vice-President Drew : Was that with arsenate of lead 

 used clear, or with some commercial lime-sulphur? 



Mr. Molumphy : One gallon of lime-sulphur in addi- 

 tion to about two pounds arsenate of lead in about 50 gallons 

 of water. 



Vice-President Drew : I see Prof. Gulley is a little 

 uneasy. I wonder if he has something he wants to get out 

 of his system? 



Prof. Gulley : We used lime-sulphur almost entirely 

 this year, generally with good effect. One of the gentlemen 

 spoke about some varieties it didn't work well on. There is 

 no question but that it did not work as well on Fall Pip]:>in 

 as on some varieties, they didn't come out as clean and nice 

 as they did a year ago. On a good many others we did very 

 clean, nice work with the use of lime-sulphur, and we used 

 it about l-i-50. 



A Member: You are not going to use Bordeaux? 



Prof. Gulley : ^^'^ell, I may use some, but not very 

 much. 



\'ice-Presidext Drew : We have a question here in
