Prof. Scott: Yes. 



Mr. Fenn : I would like to ask Professor Scott if that 

 can be kept, or does it have to be used at once? 



Prof. Scott: It can be used indefinitely. 



Question: What form of sulphur do you recommend?" 



Prof. Scott : The flour of sulphur, I think, is better. 



Question : Dry or mixed up ? 



Prof. Scott: It is run through a sieve to break up the 

 small lumps. It can be wet into a paste first, and then added,, 

 but that is considerable trouble. The slacking of the lime 

 seems to make the water take hold of the sulphur and wet it 

 up fairly well without previously working into paste. 



Dr. Clinton : What is the cost per gallon of the 8-8-50 

 self-boiled lime-sulphur compared with the 4-4-50 Bordeaux? 



Prof. Scott : Four pounds of blue stone would cost 

 about twenty-six cents, eight pounds of sulphur at three 

 cents a pound, twenty-four cents. 



Mr. Hale: It does not cost three cents. You can buy 

 it for less than that. 



Prof. Scott: No, it can be bought for less. That is 

 so. It costs in large quantities about two and one-half. There 

 would not be much difference. The difference would be 

 slightly in favor of the lime-sulphur preparation. 



Question: Can you use warm or cold water in slack- 

 ing? 



Prof. Scott: Either. It is not necessary to use warm 

 water. 



Question: I would like to ask the Professor if you 

 were to use a well prepared quantity, if you think it is in- 

 jured by keeping? 



Prof. Scott: You mean the concentrated boiled mix- 

 ture?
