NINETEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 39 



I know of will control it. Whether that is the same spot 

 that he is working on or not I would not want to say. I 

 think it is. I believe a report or a bulletin has been got- 

 ten out covering that work, and if you will get this pub- 

 lication I think it will cover the matter fully. 



Mr. Fenn : Those are sprayed but once. Do you 

 think that more sprayings would overcome that? 



Prof. Sanderson : I should doubt it. I would not 

 want to express any opinion on that though. The matter 

 is under investigation. 



Question : I would like to ask the Professor if this 

 one is a distinct indication of the way they always appear? 



Prof. Sanderson : Well, it may be or may not be. 

 You get a reddish spot sometimes. They notice red spots 

 on the fruit. 



Question : Will you please tell us what is the mat- 

 ter with that apple? (Member hands apple to the speak- 

 er). 



Prof. Sanderson : Well, that is a canker of some kind, 

 I would respectfully refer it to Professor Clinton, if he 

 is here. It is one of the cankers. There are three or four 

 of them, but just which one I would not want to say. 



Mr. Fenn : If you spray in early June, and you get 

 rainy weather after that, it has been our experience that 

 it will rust the apples, and rust them so badly that some- 

 times the fruit will crack all open. The remedy is worse 

 than the disease. The foliage drops off. We have had so 

 much trouble with that that we have had to discard the 

 Bordeaux mixture. With a dry season, there are practi- 

 cally no injuries from Bordeaux mixtures, but we never 

 know whether we are going to get rain or not. In a great 

 many seasons we will have rain all through June. For 

 the two successive seasons of 1905 and 1906 we had very 

 severe injuries from Bordeaux, and it was made every way 

 that we knew how.
