]\Iuch of the injury from bordeaux mixture may be avoided 

 if proper attention is given certain factors which have more or 

 less to do with its occurrence. Too strong bordeaux shoul;! r . 

 be applied — a 3-3-50 mixture is recommended. The lime should 

 be of good cjuality and approximately equal parts of lime and 

 copper sulphate should be used. Never pour concentrated solu- 

 tions together — equal and full dilution of the milk of lime and 

 copper solutions should be made before mixing. Cover the 

 fruit and foliage with a line mist, but do not apply sufficient 

 mixture to cause the trees to drip. \)o not spray during rainy, 

 foggy or damp weather. Study jusceptibility of varieties. 

 Those varieties which arc listed al:;ve as bad);' or very badly 

 injuired by Ijordeaux mixture, and any others which the orchard- 

 ist's experience indicates should be placed in this class, should 

 not be sprayed with bordeaux mixture after the leaves begin 

 to unfold. Past experience has shown that under Maine con- 

 ditions with those varieties like the Ben Davis which are quite 

 susceptible to spray injury, the ill effects resulting from the 

 application of bordeaux mixture, except early in the season, 

 have e(iualled or exceeded the good. .\s is indicated elsewhere
