4) The local Inspector or the Board's Inspector should be con- 

 sulted as to the best way of dealing with severe outbreaks. 



5) Spraying with liver of sulphur in June and July will check 

 the spread of the mildew and will help to secure healthy shoots 

 for next season. 



6) When young wood has been formed, it should be protected 

 by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Bordeaux may be used instead 

 of liver of sulphur as soon as the berries have been picked. It is 

 to be preferred to liver of sulphur for use in August and September. 



7) Diseased tips should be removed as soon as active growth 

 has ceased. The earlier they are removed the better, provided 

 that the season is sufficiently advanced to ensure that the buds on 

 the shortened shoot do not begin to grow. 



8) The bushes should be carefully pruned during the winter 

 months ; plants that have become too dense should be thinned and 

 the last traces of disease removed. 



Among other pests dealt with in the Report are the Felted 

 Beech Coccus, the Pigmy Mangold Beetle, a new Tomato disease, 

 and various "Scabs" of potatoes. The Report also refers to the 

 inquiries into Bee Disease in the Isle of Wight, and into the Food 

 of Birds.
