Place the oil, resin and i gallon of hot water in an iron kettle and 

 heat till the resin softens : then add the lye and stir thoroughly ; now 

 add 4 gallons of hot water and boil till a little will mix with cold 

 water and give a clear, amber colored liquid ; add water to make up 

 5 gallons. Keep this as a stock solution. For use, take 



I gallon stock solution. 



1 6 gallons water. 



3 gallons milk of lime. 



I pound Paris green. 

 The object of this preparation is to obtain an adhesive material 

 which will cause the poison to adhere to smooth leaves. It has 

 been highly recommended by the New York State (Geneva) Experi- 

 ment Station. 



15. LIME, SALT AND SULFUR. 



New Jersey Buneti7i No. 162. 



50 pounds stone lime. 



50 pounds flowers of sulfur. 



50 pounds stock salt. 



150 gallons water. 

 Slake the lime with hot water, enough to do it thoroughly, add the 

 sulfur, stir well, and boil for at least an hour, adding water as neces- 

 sary. Then add the salt, boil at least fifteen minutes more, and 

 dilute to make the 150 gallons. In boiling use no more water than 

 necessary to make a fluid mass. Strain through burlap and apply 

 hot. 



16. LIME AND SULFUR MIXTURE. 



Good results are obtained by leaving out the salt from the formula 

 given above and preparing the mixture as follows : Slake the lime in 

 a little hot water, slowly adding the sulfur and stirring vigorously ; 

 then boil one hour. Strain through burlap, dilute with water to 

 make up the 150 gallons and apply to the tree. 



Lime, Sulfur and Salt, or the Lime and Sulfur Mixture should only 

 be applied to the trees after the leaves have fallen and before the 

 buds open in spring.
