The spraying experiments on fruit spot were continued in 11*08. 

 The K. L. S. mixture used on plot 7 was a combination of kerosene- 

 limoid and lime-sulfur. In its preparation one pound of lime and 

 one pound of sulfur were added to a gallon of water and the mixture

 and thirty pounds of lime were added to forty-one and one-half 

 gallons of water and the mixture vigorously stirred and churned. 

 The previously prepared lime-sulfur solution was then added with 

 further stirring. 



The first spraying was made June 15, the second June 26, the 

 third July 15 and fourth August 1. The following results were ob-
