14 LIME-SULPHUR MIXTURES FOR SUMMER SPRAYING. 
A second examination was made on July 15, nearly a month after 
the date of the second spraying, and the relative condition of the 
several plots had changed very little. However, the infections that 
had taken place just before the second application had turned the 
affected leaves yellow, and a number of the trees in all the sprayed plots. 
had a somewhat yellowish appearance on this account, from 5 to 10 
per cent of the foliage being so affected. This was more pronounced 
on plot 2 than on any other plot and looked rather alarming, but did 
not prove to be at all serious. The yellow leaves soon dropped and 
the trees took on a normal appearance, having seemingly suffered no

injury. During the night of the day on which the second application 
was made a heavy rain of about 4 inches fell, subjecting the treat- 
ments to a very severe washing—in fact, the season was abnormally 
wet and both the first and second applications were followed by 
drenching rains. 
At the time of the second examination (July 15) the check trees, 
including plot 4, were practically bare, and photographs of sprayed 
and unsprayed trees made on this date are even more striking than 
those shown in figures 1 and 2. The defoliated trees were beginning 
to put out new leaves, especially at the tips of the twigs.
