226 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



plete, no recommendati'ons concerning treatment can be 

 made ; and, indeed, it is by no means improbable that it 

 may prove to be so dependent upon meteorological and 

 other conditions as not to occur again for a long period, 

 as has been sugo-ested. 



Note on Fungicides. 



Formulae for some of tlie most useful funo-icides were 

 given in our last report, at page 212. The materials 

 for the preparation of these and others, together with 

 an effective spraying pump, were purchased by the sta- 

 tion last spring, in the expectation that we should be able 

 to test them on crops on the station plots during the sea- 

 son. No fungous disease appeared on any crop, however, 

 to such a degree as to render any test of fungicides 

 possible, and the outfit and materials remain in our hands 

 for use next season, should circumstances favor. Full 

 directions for preparing and applying such fungicides as 

 the latest experience has shown to be most valuable will 

 be given in a bulletin of this station early next spring.
