Creosote as a Bee Repellent 



Since some agencies are recommending the addition of creosote as a 

 bee repellent to all spray mixtures indiscriminately, it has been suggested 

 that the College issue a statement as regards this matter. Xle do not consider 

 it advisable to make a general reconunendation to include creosote in all sprays 

 for the following reasons i 



1. Under some c<)nditions foliage injury has resulted from an application 

 of creosote from the addition of creosote in the leacl arsenate spray 

 mixture. We do not consider that sufficient work has been done to es- 

 tablish the conditions under which creosote can be applied with safety. 



2. The duration of the repellency of creosote has not been determined. 

 Therefore, it cannot be stated whether one or several creosote sprays 

 would be necessary to repel the bees. 



3. Creosote is a mixture of variable composition. It is considered unwise 

 to make a general recommendation based on a material which may vary con- 

 siderably in its chemical make^-\ap. 



At the present time some work is in progress which should give us 

 additional information as r egards the safety of creosote to foliage. T/Te are 

 also plsmning some experimental work to try to determine the efficiency of 

 creosote as a repellent. In the meantime we consider it inadvisable to make 

 a recommendation to include creosote indiscriminately in spray mixtures.

One YJay to Grow Peaches 



H. N. Click of the Department of Psychology reports a full bloom on 

 one of the branches of the peach trees in his yard. All of the other fruit buds" 

 failed to survive the low temperatures of late winter. This particular branch 

 hangs over the roof of a henhouse which was apparently covered with snov: when 

 the coldest weather occurred. This offers an interesting illustration of profiti 

 in a diversified (fruit-poultry) enterprise.
