Dr. Clinton : They are both equally effective. It is 

 simply a question of condition. I prefer the lime and sul- 

 phur, one to eight, on peach trees. It is all right to use 

 it on any of the young trees, apples, or any other kind, that 

 have a smooth bark, but if you have some old trees that 

 have got rough bark, then I think it is preferable to use 

 the Scalecide. I have trees in my back yard, and for a tree 

 in such a location, I w^ould use the Scalecide, because the 

 lime and sulphur will make black spots on your white paint 

 every time. They will disappear, but it ruins the paint 

 work, and makes it unsightly for a few weeks. I should 

 always use lime and sulphur in the peach orchard. 



President Rogers : The second address of the morn- 

 ing will be given by Dr. J. P. Stewart of Pennsylvania, on 

 the important subject of "Spray Injury : Its Cause and Pre- 

 vention." I take great pleasure in introducing Dr. Stew- 

 art to you at this time. 



Dr. Stewart : It goes without saying, Mr. Chairman, 

 that it is a pleasure and a privilege for me to be here to-day. 

 We occasionally get some of your citizens, who have been 

 interested in fruit growing, down to tell us how to do 

 things, and if I can even partly repay that I will feel that 

 I have accomplished something. 



You know yesterday in Mr. Tenny's speech he referred 

 to one thing which was very important, and that was that 

 just now, in New York, they feel that they are more at a loss 

 to know just how to spray their trees than they were before. 

 I shall try to show you this morning how that loss may be 

 avoided. I believe we know pretty well at the present time 

 just how to eliminate a good deal of the difficulty that they 

 are now having in New York, and also in Ohio and through 

 Pennsylvania.
