most widely used is arsenate of lead, at 

 the rate of eight to ten pounds to 100 

 gallons of water. It is adhesive and rain 

 does not wash it oflf, as it does other 

 poisons. Any tree properly sprayed with 

 this should be clean the whole season. 



Do not use this poison on fruits or 

 vegetables which are soon to be eaten, 

 as it is difficult to wash off. lu this 

 state big tracts of woodland, shrubberies 

 and many thousands of shade trees of 

 large size are annually sprayed, hundreds 

 of tons of arsenate of lead being used. 

 Hand pumps, which will cover trees sev- 

 enty-five feet high with a little climbing, 

 are comparatively inexpensive. Of course, 

 a fine spray nozzle should always be 

 used. 



If you try this remedy early next 

 season, I think you will find it will keep 

 your trees clean. There are now so many 

 pests attacking trees that spraying is 

 becoming more and more a necessity.

BLACK-ROT OF GRAPES. 



In the eastern half of the United 

 States black-rot has proven a serious 

 drawback to grape culture. Humidity is 

 favorable to this disease. More than 

 twenty years ago spraying was intro- 

 duced as a means of combating this and 

 other fungous diseases of vines and fruit 

 trees, and Bordeaux mixture has been the 

 standard fungicide from the first. 



As, during recent years, a good deal of 

 discouragement among commercial grape 

 growers has resulted from the spread 

 of black-rot and their failure to control 

 it satisfactorily, the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture about three 

 years ago began a series of experiments 

 to demonstrate the best methods of com- 

 bating this disease. These experiments 

 have been conducted in Pennsylvania,

Several different fungicides were tried, 

 but none was found to be as satisfactory 

 as Bordeaux mixture. It was demon- 

 strated, however, that four pounds of 

 bluestone, three pounds of lime, and fifty 

 gallons of water gives fully as good re- 

 sults as stronger mixtures. It was found 

 to be unwise to use more lime than is 

 absolutely necessary, as, when used to 

 excess, it tends to hinder the action of 

 the copper sulphate. It was also found 

 that five sprayings Will usually produce 

 as good results as a greater number.
