c,an  you  imagine  any  boots  more 
sturdily  constructed  ?  These  are  the 
"Lamco”  brand,  made  of  the  purest 
Para  rubber,  thick  and  very  pliable, 
with  seven  stout  ribs  of  solid  rubber 
that  prevent  cracking.  Note  the 
heavy  red  soles  and  heels  —  the 
strong  reinforcements.  These  boots 
are  two  of  the  famous  line  of 
The  Self-Boiled  Lime-Snlphii 
The  self-boiled  lime-sulphur  as  a  treat 
rnent  for  scale  was  never  used  extensively 
in  Ohio,  and  at  the  present  time  I  d<-  not 
know  of  a  single  grower  who  employs  it 
As  a  Bummer  treatment  for  fungous 
troubles,  espeeialy  for  use  on  peaches,  if. 
has  been  used  quite  successfully  by  some, 
but  is  now  rapidly  falling  into  disuse, 
not  on  account  of  poor  results  following 
its  application,  but  because  of  the  in¬ 
creasing  difficulty  with  -which  high-grade, 
fresh,  lump  lime  is  procured,  and  also  be¬ 
cause  of  the  unusual  amount  of  labor  and 
care  involved  in  its  preparation.  The 
first  of  these  two  factors  is  eliminated  in 
the  principal  peach  growing  district  in 
the  State — that  of  Northwestern  Ohio — 
because  of  the  immediate  presence  of  im¬ 
mense  lime  kilns,  but  even  here  the  self- 
boiled  material  is  little  used. 
One  grower  in  particular,  whom  T  have 
in  mind,  has  been  eminently  successful  in 
producing  an  excellent  quality  of  fruit. 
II  is  self-boiled  lime-sulphur  sprayed 
peaches  were  more  firm,  adhered  better 
to  the  trees,  and  even  had  a  better  ap¬ 
pearance  than  those  from  other  trees.  In¬ 
deed,  his  product  could  easily  he  sepal- 
ated  from  the  other  fruit  of  the  company 
packing-heust .  but  on  account  of  the  diffi¬ 
culty  of  preparation  he  is  giving  up  the 
use  of  the  material. 
It  is  m.v  opinion  that,  were  it.  possible 
for  some  kind  of  mechanical  mixer  to  be 
devised,  perhaps  somewhat  on  the  order 
of  the  power  cement  mixers,  the  self- 
boiled  lime-sulphur  might  come  into  gen¬ 
eral  use  as  a  Summer  peach  spray,  espe¬ 
cially  in  districts  where  a  good  grade  of 
lump  lime  was  available.

This  preparation  is  used  very  little  in 
New  York  State.  It  was  developed  pri¬ 
marily  as  a  spray  for  peaches,  aud  as 
very  little  Summer  spraying  of  peaches 
is  done  in  the  State,  the  mixture  is  not 
much  used.  In  fact  I  know  of  only  two 
peach  growers  who  regularly  spray  their 
orchards,  although  I  assume  there  are 
some  others  who  do  make  a  practice  of 
spraying.  The  omission  of  Summer 
spraying  is  justified,  owing  to  the  scar¬ 
city  of  eurculio  and  to  the  very  slight  de¬ 
velopment  of  brown  rot.  In  such  a  year 
as  191.1  spraying  might  have  been  a  ben¬ 
efit,  but  it  would  not  have  been  very 
profitable,  owing  to  low  price  of  peaches. 
I  do  uot  think  there  is  any  question 
about  the  effectiveness  of  the  mixture  for 
the  control  of  the  diseases  for  which  it 
was  developed.  It  might  be  pointed  out, 
however,  that  a  sulphur  paste  which  con¬ 
tains  only  pure  sulphur  aud  a  minute 
quantity  of  glue  gives  equally  satisfac¬ 
tory  results,  and  does  not  have  the  ob¬ 
jectionable  feature  of  spotting  the  fruit. 
It  might  be  said  further  that  the  use  of 
sulphur  dust  will  give  equally  us  satis¬ 
factory  results.  The  dust  can  be  applied 
at  much  less  expense  don  ai  d  kkiidick.

The  self  boiled  lime-sulphur  is  used 
chiefly  for  a  Summer  spray  ou  the  foliage 
of  peach,  plum  and  cherry,  which  are  sus¬ 
ceptible  to  injury  from  many  of  the  fun¬ 
gicides,  particularly  the  commercial  lime- 
sulphur  and  Bordeaux  mixture.  In  Con¬ 
necticut  there  are  a  few  of  the  larger 
fruit  growers  who  still  make  their  owu 
limo-sulplnir  for  use  as  a  dormant  spray 
to  kill  the  San  Jose  scale.  These  men 
have  plants  installed  for  cooking  the  mu 
ferial  with  artificial  beat.  Probably  the 
majority  of  fruit  growers  purchase  the 
commercial  liquid  lime-sulphur  for  this 
purpose.  Some  are  now  using  the  sol¬ 
uble  compounds  which  are  placed  on  the 
market  by  a  number  of  manufacturers.
